iPad5 is Getting Closer
Got your sleeping bag?
It appears for those in the I-Can't-Wait queue, which is probably already forming somewhere, that the new iPad 5 is slightly smaller (9.7") and getting really close to its debut in October or November. Last years event took place October 23rd.
Dimensions above show a very slight length difference with a modest width reduction. You might think of it as the iPad mini on steroids.
Faster CPU
As with the iPhone5s, it too will come with a version of the new A7 CPU chip, for faster processing, much faster.
Compact thinner design
It is also rumored that the iPad5 will have mini-style dual speakers and dual volume buttons. And because of the switch from dual LED to a single LED light bar, it allows for a thinner case and a higher power efficient lighting technology which then allows for a smaller battery, supposedly with similar use time.
Video showing dimensions
Here is a video posted at macrumors showing the differences between the 3 models, though admittedly the video is rather poorly made and rudimentary in technique. It's unclear what part the company which made the video supplies for the iPad5 but clearly they have a connection, and for now I'll assume they provided some part or parts for the new model.
