Tablet users will have more productive and fun time with the upcoming iPad 5 and iPad Mini 2 thanks to the likely introduction of IGZO display and Bluetooth LE on the two devices, reports said.

New reports from Korea IT News showed that Apple is seriously mulling the inclusion of indium gallium zinc oxide or IGZO LCDs to the components that make up iPads and Mac notebooks, thereby delivering more power juice for the devices.

IGZO, according to Apple Insider, employs faster electron mobility and smaller wirings that lead to lesser energy consumption. It is also known to come with better touchscreen sensitivity that Samsung is reportedly using the LCD screen to enhance the S-Pen features of its Galaxy Note series.

Yet one hurdle that Apple needs to clear is the high-price that go with the technology, which to date is the most expensive in the new breed of upscale LCD display panel. Talks with Sharp and LG Display are reportedly underway for the mass production of the device screen component.

If reports proved true that the iPad 5 is landing ahead of the Mini 2, then the latter has the higher chance of sporting IGZO on release date. Reports indicate that the bigger iPad is out by September while the 7.9-inch iPad Mini is se to launch on December, coinciding with the supposed volume rollout of IGZO panels that will begin on late Q4 2013.

Note that reports this week claim the Mini 2 is delayed as Apple has yet to decide on the actual display panel that will be installed on the smaller slate, further increasing the chance that we'll get to see an IGZO-laced iPad Mini instead of Retina.

Another feature addition to iOS devices is Bluetooth Low Energy or LE, which Apple Insider said is a likelihood based on a recently leaked Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) roadmap.

The new technology, the same report said, "is based on an enhanced packet structure that allows for direction finding, asset tracking and public indoor positioning."

Apple will likely implement the new Bluetooth protocol across the board, meaning all products - iPhones, iPads, iPods, Macs and even the rumoured iWatch - will benefit from the system.

The possible improvements are in line with the emerging trend of shrinking gadget sizes, Android and iOS alike, that come with efficient power management or longer battery hours.
