Apple is said to be preparing to start production of a new, lighter iPad 5 soon. According to reports, trial production of the new iPad is scheduled to start within weeks while mass production will begin in July.

The new iPad 5 is also expected to be a quarter times less lighter compared to the iPad 4, thanks to a thinner glass and other significant changes in design.

According to a report published by Digitimes the new tablet will have a glass that will be 0.22 times thinner compared to the previous model.
 

Quoting sources within the supply chain the report also says that the new iPad will reach stores by September.

“The touch panel solution for 5th-generation iPad is GF2 instead of G/G bonding used in the previous iPad. The new iPad will use one LED light bar for backlighting, compared to two LED light bars used in earlier version,” the report said quoting sources.
