What the Latest iPhones Tell Us About the Next iPads

The iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S are here. They’ve been reviewed. We all know their salient details, their color schemes, their prices.
So, here’s the question: what do these mean about the next iPads?
We know there will be new iPads. We expect they’ll be released very soon — October, most likely. And just like the new iPhones, expect two models: a new iPad Mini and a new 9.7-inch iPad. This is nothing new; the iPad line split last October. But, the fourth-gen Retina iPad felt like an afterthought compared with the iPad Mini. This year, that shouldn’t be the case.
Drawing a connection between two different product lines doesn’t always work, but this latest batch of iPhones does seem to suggest a few possible trends.
