As the month of March nears us, rumors of the next generation iPad are getting stronger and stronger. According to an analyst report published yesterday, production for iPad 3’s Retina Display has begun! Details after the jump!
Although we know precious little of what's in store for Apple's next tablet offering, that hasn't stopped various rumors and speculation circulating around the Web.
There is no doubt that due to the highly successful nature of their products, Apple will continue to release next generations of their iDevices for years to come. The question is not if we’ll be seeing an iPad 3 and iPhone 5 in the future, but the when. Now thanks to some new info, we can shed a little light into the latter, at least as far as the iPad 3 goes.
According to a report published earlier today, Apple’s next-generation iPad will be utilizing an all-new backlight design for an HD display.
It seems we can't go longer than a couple of weeks without the Apple rumor mill churning up another, well, rumor. We've barely let the dust settle on our freshly ripped open iPhone 4S boxes, but the iPad 3 claims have already started to circular with alarming frequency.
Its Monday and the buzz this morning is about the Apple iPad 3 going into production before the end of the year. This news is coming from Jeffrey Fidacaro, an analyst over at Susquehanna Financial Group.
Over the last few weeks, it has become clear that Apple has already begun working on a new iPad, presumably to succeed the 6-month-old iPad 2. According to a report, the company's suppliers will begin assembling it in small quantities, presumably for testing purposes: all of them, except Samsung.
Despite learning over the last few weeks that Apple would be delaying the release of the iPad 3 until early next year, it looks as if Jobs and Co. are in the process of securing a decent supply chain for the display, with 3 shortlisted candidates.
Over the last few months, we've heard some reports that a new iPad model could be released later this year, but according to a new report, the iPad 2 is here to stay.
According to a new report published today, Apple will be releasing not only the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S in September but also the iPad 3.
