Retina display confirmed for Apple iPad 3?
Share:
According to the site, extrapolating out the data results in a resolution on the Apple iPad display of "2048x1536, exactly twice the linear resolution of the iPad 1 and iPad 2 which is 1024x768." This resolution will be enough to give the screen the pixel density it needs to qualify as a Retina display. It should be noted that these screens were not sourced directly from Apple, but are OEM replacement parts for the Apple iPad 3
Meanwhile, web site App.wepost.me obtained pictures that are claimed to be shipments of 9.7 inch displays for the Apple iPad 3. The blurry photos show the displays leaving a Radiant Opto-Electronics factory in Wujiang, China where the company produces the screens for Samsung in South Korea. Samsung then gives the screens to Apple. The screen has the code J2, a codename rumored to be the name for one model of the next Apple iPad. The completed components feature the Samsung logo and are even sealed up using Samsung branded tape. The security around the Radiant Opto-Electronics factory is extremely tight as there are supposedly four complete Apple iPad 3 units inside, and those who have seen the tablet say it looks "basically the same" as the Apple iPad 2.
Pictures of Apple iPad 3 parts have been leaked continuously the last few days from photos claiming to be the tablet's rear cover and camera, to those showing that the iPad 3 will be powered by a dual-core A5X processor instead of a rumored quad-core A6 processor. The insiders at the factory in Wujiang, China said that the third-generation Apple tablet will have a Retina display, "dual LED display technology", and an upgraded 5MP or 8MP camera.
As we have told you before, speculation centers around March 7th as the date when Apple will be introducing the Apple iPad 3.

All i can say is that i hope sammy somes out with something similar to this in a windows 8 tablet or even an adroid tablet. The thing that makes me excited about apple making a higher resolution tablet is other manufacturers doing the same thing only with better operating systems.

This doesn't always happen though. We didn't see any Android phones with the iPhone 4's pixel density until over a year after it was out. Same thing could happen here: Apple goes for the big jump in resolution, other manufacturers go for a more gradual increase.

what the hell!. ok so what the ipad 3 will have retina display. The ipad 4 will have some other unexpected feature and the one after that will do the same. They are sucking us in with all these newer gadgets to all the older gadgets then selling the older gadgets cheap and to get your business...smart bastards..lol

If the ipad 3 isn't quad core its not worth getting. Might as well wait it out for the ipad 4. Problem solved.

Any single parts of Apple's iPad will hit the headline.

I hate when I see an article stating a confirmation and then ending with a question mark.

Question mark headlines are very overused these days.

"Dual LED display technology"
This one interests me ...
Right now tables are fairly foreground applications only. Yes ... apps can run in the background ... but you only ever see one app running at a time.
It would be "nice" for a tablet to see multiple apps on the screen at once ... split screen (half, quarter, custom) ...
I wonder if that is what Apple is going to push this time around ... "now you can see all your apps running" ... true multiprocessing???
