Front bezel casing, release date uproar, probable cut in price and release in April are some of the biggest hints about Apple’s upcoming iPad 5 so far.
All the iOS-related forums and sites are making guesses and analysis over the release date, price and specs of the fifth generation tablet from the US tech firm.
Front Bezel
Some unverified photos from a Chinese tech savvy has been rocking the tech sites. The leaked photos claim that iPad 5 will come with a front bezel casing, as Eric Slivka of MacRumors explained in one of its recent posts. The leaked casing gives a look to the tablet which is quite similar to iPad mini casing, but a ‘bigger’ iPad mini.
The next generation iPad is likely to come with a 9.7 inch IGZO display.
Release Date
A number of reports have quoting a ‘number of sources’ that iPad 5 production will be started in July or August this year.
So if the rumour is true, we could expect the next Apple tablet along with iPad mini 2 somewhere in late September or early October, almost a year after the launch of iPad Mini and iPad 4.
However, a sudden slash in prices of iPad had been witnessed with leading retailers offering the iPad 4 and iPad mini on a cheaper price.
A post on TechnoBuffalo says “Given that, the iPad price-cutting moves just made by major retailers suggest that we may be on the verge of a new iPad and/or iPad mini.” However some other tech writers believe that the cut in the prices was temporarily and the devices are being sold on the same prices now.
So keeping in view of the production cycle and manufacturing to supply-chain cycle, it seems quite difficult that we could see a near release of iPad 5.
As soon as we get somehow confirmed clues about the upcoming tablets from Apple, we will feature them on The News Tribe.
