Official "the new iPad" Thread...
 

It's that time of the year again. Although iPad 3 rumors have been going on for months now, we're actually getting close to the usual time Apple announces its next iPad, with many rumors pointing to March 7th as a possible announcement date.

There seem to be far too many leaks this year with MacRumors actually getting their hands on a display panel and pictures of various parts including the logic board leaking out. Here are the two biggest ones so far...

Retina Display

A5X Processor


So will we see a quad core processor? An upgraded version of the dual core the A5 now uses (maybe a die shrink and higher clock)? A dual core A15? The PS Vita uses the quad core version of the SGX543 in the A5, so will Apple also use the same quad core GPU?

cant wait














jk

Retina iPad should be pretty amazing.

^ I think any photographer with a Nikon D4 would love this. Imagine using a Retina Display to preview pictures you've just taken.

Well, it's official. March 7th is the announcement.

iPad Announcement

the front and rear cameras should be improved drastically

Well, it's official:

- Retina Display at 2,048 x 1,536 pixels.
- 44% greater color saturation.
- A5X Processor with new quad core GPU.

Keynote is still on-going so there may be a few more additions, but the Retina Display is the biggest news by far.

Posted via RS Mobile

its just a 3mpx resolution display lol 2048x1536 or something resolution (call it retina i suppose because of the ppi)

Availabe on March 16th

- Siri is confirmed, but looks like dictation only for now (WTF?).
- 4G LTE (Rogers, Bell, Telus)
- 1080P recording.
- New 5MP camera with ISP built into processor (they say same design as 4S so I guess they mean the lens and so on).
- Same battery life as before.
- Same pricing as iPad 2, available March 16th in Canada.

Nobody is impressed with a new screen with > 1080P resolution on a 1/4" thick tablet?

Mark

^ It's extremely impressive. For shits & giggles you should visit the liveblogs and read the comments. Basically the display is "yawn" or "unimpressive". I wonder what their point of reference is to call this display "unimpressive".

the display is impressive. everything else was just 1 notch above the old ipad which was expected.

How can I pre-order one? Through the website or an Apple store?

Insanity.. The screen-res is higher than my new Lenovo W520 1080p IPS display

Not at 2048x1536 resolution, but doesn't the Asus' Transformer already use retina display for their past few models?

transformer prime only has a 1280 x 800 display.
you can be sure that the next tabs will step it up greatly from here on.
apple sets the standard with their new display

Not a big fan of apple products but I like the fact that when they announce something, it's available within the next week or two. Google should take note, their galaxy nexus launch was a joke.
