Its only been weeks since the latest iPad Mini and the fourth gen iPad were launched and now we have even started to hear rumors about their successors. Well, these are not some specific rumors but we have found out the potential specs of the sequel to iPad Mini and the fifth gen iPad. We all are familiar with DigiTimes and there often hit n miss rumors about various devices from the top manufacturers. According to the latest report from DigiTimes, we have found out that Apple has already started working on the next iPad mini sequel as well as the standard iPad successor. The report suggests that the iPad Mini 2 will be sporting a higher resolution display which will be great as it’s a mid range tablet and users will really appreciate a better display. On the other hand, Apple is also planning on making the standard iPad, lighter when the iPad 5 is released.

We are really not that surprised to hear about the possibility of the higher res display in the next iPad Mini because all those new users who have bought the iPad Mini are feeling that the quality of the display could have been better. Most of the current iPad Mini users are really expecting from Apple to bring higher quality display screens in the sequel of the device. Well, the report from DigiTimes has not mentioned that whether the higher display will be Retina or not. But we are completely sure that Apple will really like to maintain full capability of the device to the current apps in the store, so there is a possibility that the next iPad Mini will feature a 2048 x 1536 resolution, just like the one in the current iPad.

Well, we have also heard news about the improvement in the iPad 5, as DigiTimes is claiming that Apple might be bringing a new technology display and lighting components which will allow the 9.7 inch iPad 5 lighter than the current model. According to the report, Apple might use the advanced LED Lighting Bar technology in the next iPad which will use only one bar to power up the Retina display of the 9.7 inch iPad. Previously, the iPad 3 and iPad 4 Retina display users two bars of LED lighting and that is one of the reasons they are a little heavier than their predecessors.

Well, it is just the starting of the rumor mill and apparently we have an entire year in which we will be hearing lots and lots of the rumors about the Apple devices. We will make sure to keep you updated, stay tuned for more.
