Apple's iPad 5 may include smaller bezels to give way for even larger screen.

While this may seem like a good idea, you have to remember this will cause all sorts of hardware issues, with the battery being one of them. Apple's rivals must have thought the same thing; because when you look at most 10-inch Android tablets they all have rather larger bezels, which mean a lot of wasted space.

It is speculated that iPad 5 will be released in late April along with the successor of iPad Mini. Reports stated that this is part of Apple's new product cycle.

Another evidence that Apple is set to release iPad 5 this month is the price cut on previous tablets. It has been roughly six months since Apple unveiled the fourth generation and iPad Mini, but the devices are now offered at a discounted price. It seems that Apple is moving towards a six-month product cycle.

Retailers such as WalMart, BestBuy and MacMall, has set the rumour mill in motions when they offered discounts on the aforementioned devices.

According to rumours, almost 30 percent being slashed off the price of iPad's and iPad mini's, the clearance sale by the retail giants on tablet's third anniversary is a clear cut indication that Apple is all set to hit the market with a new and updated iPad for the customers.

The iPad 5 is rumoured to have no bezels, and the whole form factor has been made sleeker. Horowitz believes this design indicates that Apple will be calling on Sharp's IGZO screen technology. Sharp, however, according to Horowitz, has been struggling, and its ability to deliver components on time will play a key role in the release of the next iPad.
