Apple is rumoured to be using newer screen technology for the next iPad in an effort to slim the design even further
?
Apple is rumoured to be looking at an even thinner design for the next iPad thanks to advanced screen technology that was first introduced with the iPad mini.
Longtime rumour-spinner Digitimes has indicated that the "GF2" thin-film touchscreen technology used in the Apple iPad mini will be making its way into the iPad 5 when it arrives later this year.
What that means is we could see the new iPad measuring as much as 20 per cent thinner thanks to the screen tech. And, although it's expected that Apple will keep the same 9.7-inch form factor, the bezels will be noticeably slimmer.
According to sources speaking to Digitimes LG Display, Samsung Display and Sharp are all in the picture when it comes to supplying Apple with Retina display technology for both the new iPad and iPad mini models.
The sources also state there is an internal debate going on inside Apple as to whether fitting the next iPad mini with a Retina display will cannibalise sales of the iPad itself.
Whether or not these rumours prove accurate remains to be seen. We've got our fingers crossed for an October or November reveal of the next iPad so, hopefully, we won't have too long to wait.
