Are you considering buying an Apple iPad 4? Or are you maybe thinking of holding out for the iPad 5. Though the new iPad 5 has yet to confirm a release date or any new features or specs, some of the rumors surrounding the new Apple tablet could be worth the wait. 

With a rumored mid-Summer 2013 release date for the new iPad 5, many Apple users may jump the gun for the cheaper iPad 4. Will the new iPad 5 be yet another incremental Apple update or something that truly transcends it's predecessor?

The closest thing Apple fans have to a confirmed rumor, is a new design for the iPad 5. Taking after it's younger brother, the iPad Mini, the new iPad 5 will be thinner and lighter. How? Apple has reportedly been experimenting with Sharp IGZIO technology for the screen. With smaller bezels around the curves of the screen, the new design should usher in a new generation of Apple tablets.

All of the usual specs upgrades are also expected for the new iPad 5. A faster, more efficient processor, a new Apple chip upgrade [A7?], improved battery life, and more storage are pretty reliable upgrades from model to model.

The iPad 4's modest 5-megapixel camera will most likely get a boost as high as 8-megapixels. What new features could iOS 7 provide for an enhance iPad 5 camera?

Speaking of iOS 7, Apple's latest operating system update, is expected to bring in a whole new wave of features and enhancements for Apple devices, packaged in all new minimalist design.

The iPad 5 is expected to improve on the iPad 4's 4G connectivity.
