Mumbai: Citing sources close to Taiwan-based supply chain companies, a DigiTimes report states that the production of the upcoming fifth-generation iPad will begin in July-August 2013.
The source, however, said that the "yield rates" for important parts of the 9.7-inch tablet, especially the touch panels, could be "a major concern for smooth production."
The sources said the iPad 5 will be thinner and lighter than the iPad 4 and is said to embody a slim bezel, quite like the iPad mini.
The device's display is likely to be supplied by LG Display and Sharp, while the touch panel assembly will reportedly be carried out by TPK, a Taiwanese company. The ITO thin-film will be supplied by Nitto Denko and Teijin.
The Apple iPad is said to be powered by an A6X processor. We've also heard that the iPad 5 may come with the same touchscreen structure as the iPad mini.
The G/F2 (DITO) thin-film type touchscreen structure on the iPad mini will help the tablet achieve a thinner and lighter appeal, reports in the media said. For those not in the know, the current iPad models use a G/G touchscreen structure.
