No info on release date, sorry. Moving to tech where more folks might see this.

The rumours I'm seeing (fairly recent, in the last 2 weeks) are all saying September or October. Probably correct, as I'm sure Apple wants to catch the Christmas market.

Generally, rumours point to a thinner iPad, possibly narrower border/bezel (bigger screen?) but I haven't seen a lot else on features yet.

Rumours of new MacBook Pros are flying around too - for the same time frame, with the new Haswell processors, and support for 4K monitors, though Apple doesn't have any of those yet.

Tim Cook has said that there will be new things to be excited about in the latter half of 2013. Somewhere in there will be the new Mac Pro too.

Of course, you know it won't be called "iPad #?".  It will be the 'New iPad', just to make things all the more confusing. smile.gif

What's in a name? A lot. Several places have been talking about a slightly larger iPad and calling it the "iPad Maxi".  jawdrop.gif Dear heavens I hope Apple has more brains than that!


(And if you don't get this reference, don't ask me to 'splain it!)

I think that "joke" has been around since the name first appeared a few years ago! Even without the "maxi" part! laughhard.gif
