Apple may launch a fifth generation tablet next March, in keeping with
its yearly Spring releases of previous models, a media report said
Tuesday.
According to an inside source of the tech blog Macotakara,
the new iPad will look like the iPad Mini in design and the dimensions
of a slightly smaller iPad 2, the Daily Mail reported.
There are currently three models of iPad: The first iPad, the iPad 2 and the iPad Retina display - all measuring the same.
Apple
released a faster version of the iPad Retina (also known to many as the
iPad 3) this March and some people refer to this as the iPad 4.
Following
hot on the heels of the iPad 4 launch was the introduction of the Mini
measuring a sleek 7.87 inch in height, 5.3 inch in width and 0.28 inch
in depth.
The new model, according to Macotakara, would feature
the Retina display with the same resolution as the third and fourth
generation iPads, the Mail added.
