The incorporation of this superior battery is slated to be in September and that too is in tandem with the anticipated release date.

Sharp Corporation has been rumored to provide the IGZO screen technology for the latest iPad 5. Sharp, however, according to analysts have been struggling to stick to the deadlines, which could possibly affect the release date of the tablets.

The new iPad would come with an array of features like the Retina display with better resolution, dual core A7 processor, 7.9 inch screen, FaceTime HD camera, an iSight camera with 1080 pixels HD video recording and a more powerful battery.
