New iPad Coming in September?

Many Apple bloggers are pointing towards the fact that Apple is going to release the next generation of the iPad in September. The iPad is in need of some major remodelling, as it has kept it's rough look and shape ever since it came to life, a couple of years ago.

Rumours suggest that the bezel around the screen will be the same as the iPad Mini's, this will of course allow room for a larger display. Talking of larger displays, the rumoured iPad 5 is expected to have a higher screen resolution, for sharper and more colourful images. We might also see a GF2 touch panel which would make the touchscreen thinner, allowing more room inside.  The back of the tablet is also supposedly going to look like the one that the iPad Mini has, giving a newer and fresher look to the iPad.

The tablet is said to have a rear facing microphone, just like the iPhone 5. Many people want Apple's new tablet to come in multiple colours, like the new iPod Touch, but that is unlikely to happen. The rumoured A7 chip could be fitted into the iPad 5 to enhance the overall performance of the tablet. Power efficiency is said to improve and this will allow Apple to reduce the size of the battery, decreasing the weight of the device by 25% and making it 15% thinner than the current iPad. The camera might get an update and a flash might be added to improve picture quality. We won't see wireless charging yet, Apple probably needs much more time to experiment with this technology. But, you never know what might happen...

We usually see a new iDevice being announced in March every year, but Apple may have something different up it's sleeve and is taking longer to develop it. Apple release a new device, or an updated one, every couple of months. This time they have taken quite a long break, making us expect something big and much more developed. Many sources point to the fact that Apple will be announcing the iPad 5 in September this year. The price is expected to stay at roughly the same level as the current iPad. But, the price will go up depending on the level of tech that Apple cram in there.
