A new iPad5 is expected in October as DigiTimes reports that production for the next-generation tablet will begin between July and August of 2013.
Sources within the Taiwan-based supply chain for the tablet have indicated that the iPad 5 will be both thinner and lighter than its predecessor.
Images that surfaced online of the iPad 5 in January of this year showed a 9.7-inch iPad with an almost identical look to the iPad mini. The device had little to no right or left bezels, with the only area around the screen being that require for the camera and home button.
The iPad 5 launch date of October that earlier surfaced on the web falls into the timeline of when production is expected to begin in July or August.
