Is Apple still working with Samsung?

It was hell trying to find a good display with the iPad 2 (some light bleed is normal there were blobs ALL over the place), the 3 was better, never had a 4.

What? Can you not read english?

You missed the word 'know' out... so the issue is that you didn't write in English ;)

And Spink10... I knew what he meant. Don't make junk posts.

Isn't Apple supposed to be using Sharp's IGZO displays?

Na IGZO is most likely for next year.

My guess is with Samsung or LG. I don't think they use Sharp's displays yet, but they were looking into it for IGZO, which is more than likely a 2014 thing.

because you know for a fact right?

how would they reduce the size of full sized iPad and still get similar hours in battery life with the same battery draining screen?
90% chance its igzo..THIS YEAR!!!

Because they're not reducing the size. They're reducing the blue-print. I'm sure they can fit 95% of the same volume inside for internals. IGZO is not happening this year. There was already a few articles talking about how they're just now (as of last week) sampling around IGZO to companies, and will start the process for manufacturing early 2014. Whichhhhh last time I checked, is not this year. There should be ample amount of IGZO panels by summer 2014, just in time for the holidays next year.

so they will fit in the same size battery into a slimmer body? how would this be possible?

Redesign it. They had to make the iPad Mini's battery extremely thin to fit the chasis. They'd have to decrease width of the iPad 5's; maybe making it deeper than it had been.
