When T-Mobile finally started carrying iPhones earlier this year, many wondered when cellular iPads would be added to its offerings, too. It looks like that time could come next week.
T-Mobile CEO John Legere sent a tweet on Wednesday that hints an iPad-related announcement is likely for Apple’s big press event next week.

The tweet said he is “excited” for the event, which is rumored to usher in next-generation models of both the iPad and iPad mini. T-Mobile is only major carrier that doesn’t offer Apple LTE iPads.
Apple is rumored to add a “retina” display to its 7.9-inch iPad mini, possibly matching the big-screen iPad’s pixel count of 2,048 x 1,536. However, this isn’t a shoo-in feature: Some reports indicate supplies of such high-resolution displays are too limited, so retina might not come to the iPad mini until early 2014.
Meanwhile, the fifth-generation iPad is rumored to be lighter and thinner (with a less thick bezel) than its predecessor. We could also see an improved camera with an 8-megapixel sensor, up from 5MP in latest models.
