iPad 5 rumored to launch in march 2013
finally the
rumors of the fifth-generation iPad (iPad 5) and iPad Mini 2 have surfaced in china. the leaks are to
be believed, the iPad 5 will be thinner and lighter, and also feature a
new design that’s similar to the iPad Mini .
The iPad Mini 2 will keep the same 7.9-inch
display, but make the jump to Retina resolution (2048×1536) and also
move to the A6X SoC (currently in the iPad 4).
The new fifth-generation iPad will be 4mm shorter, 16mm narrower, and 2mm thinner than the fourth-gen iPad — in other words, it’ll look a lot like the iPad Mini, with its narrower portrait bezel. By decresing 2mm in depth, the iPad 5 would be just 7.4mm.

This size reduction will reduce the weight of the iPad 5, but it might
also impact battery life, unless Apple has a new technology hidden to give the users with more power in minimum possible size.

The iPad Mini 2 is probably a more exciting proposition. If the rumors are correct, this diminutive iPad will feature a 2048×1536 (326 PPI) display and the bleeding-edge A6X SoC.

This would mean that the iPad Mini 2 would have the same hardware spec
as the iPad 4 — but half the weight and half the price. Suffice it to
say, if the iPad Mini wasn’t exciting enough to divert attention away
from the Nexus 7
and Kindle Fire, then this second generation certainly would be. It will probably be released in March 2013 .
Apple’s
last few product refreshes have focused more on gradual evolution (i.e.
milking profits) than making huge technological leaps. At the moment
there is a clear technological gap between the full-size iPad and the
Mini — this rumored iPad Mini 2 would basically mean the iPad’s only
advantage is a slightly larger screen. But who knows: If Apple feels
threatened in the 7-inch tablet space, then an overpowered iPad Mini 2
would be a very good way of silencing the rival market products.
so keep your fingers crossed to get your hands on the new upcoming ipad 5.
