Apple's upcoming 9.7" iPad to be significantly lighter and slimmer

A series of rumors have already occurred on the way the upcoming iPad will look and what this new device will feature. The new iPad is said to be significantly lighter and slimmer.

This device, which promises to be quite impressive, will probably be out sometime this year. Apple’s new tablet is rumored to come with slimmer and thinner design, which would make this new device an interesting choice.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is the person who revealed these new details about the upcoming iPad. Numerous times, Kuo has made various predictions on the future developments that will come from Apple and now the famous analyst claims that the manufacturer will surprise its audience with a new generation iPad, which will be lighter and slimmer than the previous design.

Kuo went even further and claimed that the iPad 5 will come with a narrow border design, which will be quite similar to the design the company has opted for in its iPad mini. The iPad mini has been quite an impressive innovation, too, featuring an advanced software.

Kuo believes that Apple will release its new iPad by the end of 2013. He is actually certain that the release will be made sometime in the third quarter of the year. However, this is not the first time when a prediction is made on the release of the fifth generation iPad.

Other rumors indicate that the device will be out in March, as Apple is actually planning on updating its iPad lineup twice a year. Well, if Kuo will turn out being right in its newest prediction, it will not be a shock.

The analyst also predicted in an accurate way that Apple will release a new upgraded iPad by the end of 2012. Back then, the prediction made by Kuo was quite surprising, as Apple updated its iPad in March.

However, the company opted to reveal two updates during last year. When it comes to the future of Apple, Kuo seems to be sure that Apple will release an updated iPad mini which will come with high-resolution Retina display.

He also claimed that the rumors of Apple releasing a full-fledged television set will not be confirmed, at least not this year.
