Apple will soon announce its iPad 5 according to the rumors which stemmed from Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White observations from this week’s CES in Las Vegas, U.S.

White noted “Our checks at CES indicate Apple will release the iPad 5 and the second-generation iPad mini this March. The iPad 5 is expected to be lighter and thinner than the iPad 4 that was released in October, while the form factor of the iPad mini should be similar to the first generation iPad mini that debuted in October.”

White’s report is not the first one about the next iPad launch,  a previous report by Japanese blog Macotakara  claimed that a thinner and lighter fifth-generation iPad will be launching in March. RBC analyst Doug Freedman had also claimed that Apple was accelerating its plans for the second-generation iPad mini.
