Do you think Mini2 is in the Fall?
I think Apple will probably update both sizes of iPads at the same time. And I think late summer or early fall is as good a guess as any for the next update. Also, with the 128GB model that was recently released, I would guess no sooner than 5 or 6 months from when they were released.

I think Apple may decide against 6 month updates if they're going to get sued for releasing updates too fast. In all seriousness there will be whining of updates happening too fast and too slow unless updates only happen once a year or less often, then there will just be whining about the updates being too slow.
 
More interested in iOS 7 to start off with. This will be the deal breaker for a lot of us.

I hope they release in June/July along with new iPhone 5S.

Sep/Oct in the fall is way too long.

That said if Apple was actually taking its time to really make iOS 7 good like new UI and stuff then I would be ok.
 
Accoring to all of new rumors, it is said that Apple's Thinner, Lighter iPad 5 Could Be released In April.

And that would be cool, cute and all but c'mon stop playing, what we REALLY want is a compelling iOS7, you know for those of us adults who love our ipads but are totally past all the kids play.
 
no iPad 5 or iPhone 5S/6 will come out without Tim Cook mentioned iOS 7 first... iOS 7 --> iPhone 5S/6 ---> iPad 5 because you don't know what iOS 7 will work with new hardware ie Siri does not work with iPhone 4 only 4S/5. :apple:

There isn't even a public beta of iOS7 for developers yet. And the beta comes out several months before release.

So if the next round of hardware is intended for iOS7, it's going to be a wait for sure.
 
My iPad 4 isn't even one month old. -_-

I'm gonna just sell it now. Use a Note 2 until the iPad 5 comes out.

Stupid Apple.

Of course there isn't. They never release the beta until after the announcement at WWDC. That doesn't mean they won't release any products until iOS 7 is announced.

Or did you forget that the iPad 3 (and every other iPad before it) was released prior to WWDC and the announcement of a new iOS version?

I agree with what you say. No, I didn't forget that at all.

I think you missed what I was responding to, which were all the people hoping HW will be delayed until after iOS7. Personally, I hope a new Mini with retina comes out as soon as possible.
