The most important update iPad in its history

Today from Apple, perhaps, in the first place, waiting for the announcement of the fifth generation of the iPad, which has to be thinner and lighter than the previous line. According to one of Wall Street analysts, "five" should be the most important upgrade of full-length Aypada in the history of "apple" tablet.

Having gone on the eve of Taiwan, employee Cantor Fitzgerald Walter Brian White brought confirmation that the fifth generation of the iPad will be 15% thinner and 30% lighter than the fourth-generation Apple tablet. Moreover, the width of the "five" would be reduced by 10% due to the narrowing of side frames that make iPad 5 like iPad mini.

According to White, this should be the most important update iPad in its history: the analyst worried steady decline Tablet sales volumes, which in three years have decreased to 27% of the total number of tablets sold in the third quarter of 2013 of the year.

Here I want to drive a wedge, because it is unclear what data operates Wight. Correct me if I do not look back, but according to, for example, this figure, sales of the iPad, in contrast, is constantly growing:

However, this growth is gradually slowing down: for the year grew by only 6.2% - and it really is a particular problem.

In this vein, with the withdrawal of Wight can agree: iPad 5 really can "shoot" in the Christmas season is much more powerful than the iPad 4 in the past year. A more radical redesign, reduction in size and weight reduction, a significant increase in computing power - all this can spur positive momentum and ensure the shelf iPad users significant replenishment.

At the same time on the iPad mini at Bryan White are not as optimistic news. Of course, by that claim anonymous sources should be treated with skepticism fair, but there is a possibility that the iPad mini 2, although it will be announced, together with his "big brother", the American retail will come only in the first quarter of 2014 - already with Retina-display.

As far as this information is true - there is a delay with the "Minicom," and they will receive a "retina" in general - will know very soon.
