Macotakara, a Japanese blog, revealed the information according to which the latest iPad will be available after the much awaited iPhone 5S. The upcoming iPhone 5S will most probably be launched near September. The iPhone 5S will be launched after almost a year from the launch dates of iPhone 5.
Apple iPad 5 Features:
As per the Japanese blog, the next generation iPad will have a 9.7 inch screen and will have a rear microphone beside camera, similar to that of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone 5.
