On December 24, it was reported that although the iPad 4 was just launched, Apple seemed ready to release the next generation iPad. Today, the Japanese media Macotakara reported that they would release the iPad 5 as soon as next March.

According to the analyst at that time, although Apple's iPad mini will be a great success, releasing a lighter and thinner 9.7-inch iPad is more important for Apple's strategy. At the same time, compared with the original appearance of the iPad 4, the new iPad 5 will change in appearance, and may be closer to the style and characteristics of the iPhone 5 or iPad mini in design. Of course, the most important thing is that the body of the new iPad 5 will be even thinner than the 9.4mm of the iPad 4.

Later, some insiders revealed that Apple intended to upgrade its full-size iPad product line every six months in order to completely get rid of Microsoft, Google, Amazon and other competitors.

Some analysts believe that Jobs made Apple's products different through innovation, while current CEO Cook maintained his advantage by rapidly upgrading products.

From £ 399

It is worth mentioning that foreign media also exposed the price of the fifth generation iPad in advance. It is reported that the tablet will have three capacity versions, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. The Wi Fi version costs 399, 479 and 559 pounds respectively; The Wi Fi+3G version costs £ 499, £ 579 and £ 659 respectively.

However, the authenticity of the above information is also indistinguishable. However, according to the rumor that the iPad mini 2 equipped with Retina display screen will also come in March next year, it may mean that Apple has really decided to speed up the upgrading of the iPad product line.
