Apple To Release Thinner And Narrower iPad Model

It seems that these days not only the iPhone 5S is hot in the news with rumors on its improvements compared to the last released models, but the iPad also.

Pictures presenting several case designs for the soon to come iPad 5 have been circulated over the internet in the last period, so we can state at this point that we have a clue on the design of the front and rear casing parts of the upcoming device. The first conclusion which is easily drawn is the similarity in design to the iPad mini and, at the same time the concept of a thinner and narrower iPad.

Continuing the line of the iPad mini, more cases were shown to the public today bringing the new iPad closer to reality and to a more concrete visual image. The conclusion is that the device seem to be in line with its predecessors and, if we analyze closer, we can notice the fact that the device will clearly be thinner. Reports say that it will have shiny modern aluminum on back and the volume button and the power input have the same position as for the iPad mini.  So, the same in features as the iPad mini, even with the same screen size,as pictures on Engadget show.

Also, the pictures from the case maker Tactus, confirm the above.

Back to the Engadget source, which shows a case from Hong Kong, we can conclude that the device will be in line with the  fourth-generation and fifth-generation ones when it comes to its case. In terms of colors it will be very promising, maybe having all of the arch’s colors available.

For the moment the release data is not yet confirmed, but even if we see an increased competition in the tablet market, we are almost sure that the iPad 5 is going to take over the market. Some rumors were talking of an iPad 5 running iOS 7, with 5 to 8 MP rear facing camera, 9,7 inch Retina Display, bluetooth 4.0. and lightning connector on top.

Which are your expectations when it comes to this new device?  We are eager to find out more on this topic, even if  we are talking about the case or other features the device might have.
