iPad 5 Will Feature Similar Touchscreen Technology As The iPad Mini

Although reports about the next generation of Apple’s tablet haven’t yet agreed for a date for the releasing day, everything else in rest seems to be settled. We have some great news to share with you regarding the aspect of the new iPad 5 like such as it will have a totally new mini design. So prepare yourself for a smaller bezels and thinner profile that will make you fall in love with it.

Undoubtedly this will make you wonder about which techniques is Apple going to use to for creating a thinner tablet and in the same time to keep its Retina display? And how is the battery going to last 10-hour of life? Here is the answer, especially for the starters. Well ?it is no other than exactly the same thin-film touchscreen tech that is found in the iPad mini.

If you don’t already know, this engineering’s identity is “GF Ditto’s technology, and it can as well be found under the name of GF2. ?This technology gave Apple the possibility to make the mini more thin and gave it more light than the one that was used in the iPad 3, the G/G touchscreen technology.

Here are the news from DigiTimes (via iPhoeninCanada):

“It’s been reported that it?will be used the same G/F2 (DITO) structure of touch screen thin-film type for the next generation of Apple 9.7 inch iPad as the iPad mini’s company.

The model used at the moment for the 9.7-inch iPad is a G/G is designed with touch screen.?Apparently, sources claim that Apple chose to make this move of using DITO technology, which has definitely a better supply than one-glass-solution (OGS) technology, because they are competing for gaining the first place in the tablet section.

Besides it’s been reported in the same source that the generation to come in Apple’s supply chain of 9.7 inch iPad will be not very different from the iPad mini’s. They also said that the suppliers for the thin-film materials are expected to be the Japan-based Nitto, and for the display panels, ?Apple has chosen LG display and Sharp as their suppliers.

The GF2 film had been said to be the responsible one for the fact that iPad mini had raised his price tag and forced earlier supply, but this hadn’t been taken into?consideration even though it caused issues in the mass production. However, Apple had vanished the misunderstandings and lowered the shipping to 3-5 days.

In what concerns the iPad 5, recently it’s been notified an observation for the tablet’s rear shell which appears to have smaller bezels and chamfered borders which shows that it will be looking very much like the mini. Apple is now concentrating very hard to redesign and apparently there will be very few, or no internal changes.

There’s also been claimed that iPad5 will be released in the next few months but we actually believe that October is most probably the month to?release?it, in the same time with iPad mini2.
