Apple to announce refreshed version of iPad – reportOctober 20, 2012 - 10:42 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Apple will announce a refreshed version of its full-sized, 9.7-inch Retina display iPad at its media event Oct 23, 9to5mac reported citing their sources. These people say that the new version of the iPad will retain the same $499, $599, and $699 WiFi-only price points, and the LTE line will retain the current $629, $729, and $829 pricing. With no price changes or additional storage capacities, there is an opinion that the storage options of 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB will also be retained. Launching roughly half a year after the current third-generation iPad, this new iPad is said to be a tweaked model and not a complete revamp. As iMore and iLounge previously reported, this new iPad is expected to gain the smaller Lightning connector from the iPhone 5, fifth-generation iPod touch, and seventh-generation iPod nano. Also likely in the mix for this tweaked iPad is global LTE support, just like in the iPhone 5, according to a recent report from The Guardian. Apple could also use this opportunity to upgrade other internals like the processor, screen, battery, etc. but there are specifics on this, 9to5mac said. Out of the many new iPad models coming at this event, these new full-sized iPads make up half of the SKUs. The other half belong to the smaller ‘mini’ iPad. Also coming at Apple’s Oct 23 event are new Mac minis, new iMacs, and a 13-inch version of the MacBook Pro with Retina display.
