New iPads For Spring

Glorious Apple Rumors: The iPhone 5S For The Summer, New iPads For Spring

As has been pointed out the fancies of the young turn lightly to thoughts of love as the spring progresses. So lovers of Apple shiny gadgetry might find their desires satisfied by the two rumoured new iPads coming in April. Well, maybe coming in April:

iMore has learned that Apple is planning the release of the iPhone 5S for this summer, currently for August. Next generation iPads, presumably the iPad 5 and potentially the iPad mini 2, may also debut as soon as this April.

It has to be said that the presumed specifications aren’t all that amazing. Certainly, improvements in processor speed and so on, but no massive leap forward seems to be in the offing. Unless you think that fingerprint recognition is such?

here’s another purveryor of such rumours and their prognostications are a little more interesting. That there will be that low cost iPhone that everyone’s been calling for:

Kuo also says that the iPhone 5S will have the same display size as the iPhone 5, and at 7.6mm and 112 grams, will be as slim and weigh the same, as well. It will also have the same metal case as the current top-of-the-line iPhone 5, and be available in two color choices – presumably the same “black & slate” and “white & silver”.

The iPhone 5S will be sold unlocked at between $600 and $700, and with a two-year contract at $199, Kuo says. The as-yet-unnamed lower-cost iPhone will go for between $350 and $450 unlocked, and will be free with a two-year contract.

Low price obviously, indeed as we know it does, means something a little different in the Apple world. That’s about the price of a regular mid range smartphone from any other manufacturer.

So far there’s no one predicting that Retina is about to land on the iPads. Nor, somewhat surprisingly, is the idea that Apple might just be tempted to release an iPhone that will work on the China Mobilenetwork. Their 700 million customers are quite a large audience to overlook.
