We have been hearing a number of rumors about the new iPad 3, which is expected to be announced early next month. The main one is that it will feature a higher resolution display than the iPad 2.
We recently saw some photos which were reported to be of the new iPad 3, along with some other photos which were reported to be of the iPad 3 processor and now we have some which may be of the actual casing of the iPad 3.
The photos were obtained by the guys over at Micgadget, and the casing is around 1mm to 1.5mm thicker than the existing iPad 2, although it looks like it has a more tapered design than the existing iPad.
As you can see from the photos, the casing also shows a larger camera lens, this ties in with the recent photos we saw of a new camera on the iPad 3, which could mean that the device would come with an 8 megapixel camera.
Enhanced Display and Performance
One of the most anticipated features of the iPad 3 is its enhanced display. Rumors suggest that the new iPad will boast a Retina display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels, which is double the resolution of the iPad 2. This would provide users with a much sharper and more vibrant viewing experience, making it ideal for everything from watching movies to editing photos.
In addition to the improved display, the iPad 3 is also expected to come with a more powerful processor. The photos we saw earlier hinted at an A5X processor, which would be an upgrade from the A5 chip found in the iPad 2. This new processor is expected to offer better performance and graphics capabilities, making the iPad 3 a more powerful device for gaming and other intensive applications.
Design and Camera Improvements
The design of the iPad 3 appears to be slightly thicker than its predecessor, but with a more tapered edge, making it more comfortable to hold. The slight increase in thickness could be due to the inclusion of a larger battery, which would be necessary to support the higher resolution display and more powerful processor.
The camera on the iPad 3 is also expected to see significant improvements. The larger camera lens seen in the leaked photos suggests that the iPad 3 could come with an 8 megapixel camera, similar to the one found in the iPhone 4S. This would be a substantial upgrade from the 0.7 megapixel camera on the iPad 2, allowing users to take much higher quality photos and videos.
Apple is rumored to be announcing the iPad 3 at a special event on the 7th of March. Of course, this has yet to be confirmed by Apple, but the timing would be consistent with previous iPad announcements. As soon as we get some more information, we will let you guys know.
In addition to the hardware improvements, there are also rumors about new software features that could be introduced with the iPad 3. These could include enhancements to iOS, such as improved multitasking capabilities and new apps designed to take advantage of the iPad 3’s higher resolution display and more powerful processor.
Overall, the iPad 3 is shaping up to be a significant upgrade from the iPad 2, with improvements in display, performance, design, and camera capabilities. Whether you’re a current iPad owner looking to upgrade or a new user considering your first tablet, the iPad 3 is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
