There's a new iPad on the way - here's what we know so far

A Taiwanese supplier now reckons, as per a new report, that iPad 5 production will begin in the "July-August" period of this year, which will no doubt please those analysts who are predicting an autumn release.

When Apple introduces a new product it's usually priced to match the one that it supersedes. So with this in mind, we're looking at US$499 (£399, AU$539) for the Wi-Fi-only 16GB iPad 5, US$599 (£479, AU$649) for the 32GB model, US$699 (£559, AU$759) for the 64GB and US$799 (£639, AU$869) for the 128GB iPad.

Probable new features include:

• 16:9 thinner retina screen
• Haptic feedback
• Vibration
• Wireless charging
• 8MP camera
