Apple chooses 3 companies to meet production needs for iPad 3 Retina Display
Share:
The solution, according to industry supply-chain observer DigiTimes, was to bring Sharp in as a new partner to supplement the displays being produced by LG and Samsung. According to reports a million of the new high-resolution displays were produced in October, with the number expected to climb to 2 million units a month in November.
If all goes as expected, assembly of the final iPads could begin in Foxconn factories in January 2012, which could mean we’ll see an iPad 3 announcement around the end of Q1, the same time frame as the first two iPad models were announced.
It is expected that the iPad 3’s Retina Display will allow the device to be used in industrial fields where a higher level of visual precision is necessary. It is expected to appeal to consumers as well, enabling higher definition movie watching and gaming.
Are any of you out there planning to pick an iPad 3 up when it ships?

If "Retina" is a complex word for some folks, I can only imagine what Otolaryngology means to him.

Use polysyllabic and the rest of us will know what you mean.

Allow me to make an equally uneducated comment: You're dumb.

It will probably need a more powerful processor along with more ram to support the beefed up resolution. I wonder how it will affect the battery life

Probably a smaller and lighter battery but better battery technology. Apple has been working on battery technology for a long time.

Battery life has been a focus for Apple with the iPad in the past, so I doubt they would allow it to drop too much, if at all.

apple is always behind in tech why do u think they copy
to get the res of a retina display it would have to have around
2600p X 1800p on its 9.7inch to get 326ppi notice i said around so i dont see that happening

Behind in tech? yes and no. In some things they're ahead in tech. And in some things behind.
