Bloomberg is reiterating much of what we have heard already, but nevertheless reporting that a thinner iPad 5 will be released this year as well as an iPad mini with a Retina display. Bloomberg is also reporting that Apple will hold a September 10 event to announce the next generation iPhone.

Apple Inc. is preparing to introduce a new version of the iPad with a thinner design, people familiar with the plans said, as the company works to stay atop the increasingly crowded tablet-computer market.

Apple also plans to introduce a new iPad mini, the first with a high-resolution screen, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the development is private. The new iPad models are set to be introduced in the last three months of the year, one of the people said.
