All rumors about iPad 3
The release date of next generation iPad, which may be called iPad 3, is close, the rumors about this magic device are everywhere. Here is the summary from Kreg, author of Divx to iPad.
1) Better screen:
iPad 3 screen resolution will reach 2048*1536, this means that you can watch Blu-ray movies on the iPad 3.
2) Faster processor:
There are lots of debates whether iPad 3 will use dual-core or quad-core CPU. The processor in iPad 3 will be S5L8945X from Samsung. The spec of this CPU is top secret of Samsung. Since iPad 2 is the first tablet computer using dual-core processor. And Nvidia has already introduced Quad-core processor for tablet computer, it’s possible for Apple to introduce Quad-core CPU in iPad 3.
3) Siri:
There is no news that iPad 3 will have Siri implemented. If iPad 3 wants to support Siri, the microphone should be improved. There is indeed some news that iPad 3 will have different microphone from iPad 2.
4) Bluetooth 4.0
iPad 3 will use the same bluetooth chip as iPhone 4S, which is developed by Broadcom with lower power consumption and faster transission speed.
5)Thunderbolt:
No, iPad 3 has no reason to support Thunderbolt.
6) NFC
Some person from Foxconn said iPhone 5 had NFC, but no more info about iPad 3. I suspect that.
7)Gorilla glass:
Gorilla glass is lighter and harder than old version. So I believe iPad 3 will use the new Gorilla glass.
8)128GB storage:
No, since Apple introduced iCloud in last year, I don’t think Apple will introduce 128GB iPad 3.
9)LTE:
LET will increase the weight and power consumption. And LTE chip is not mature, so I don’t think iPad 3 will support LTE.
is a dual-core or quad-core processors, Apple’s iPad Tablet PC 2 is the first dual-core processor, NVIDIA has announced that it will now launch quad-core mobile phone, Apple may not be left behind.
LTE network support: will the iPad 3 support LTE networks are not sure, join LTE chip can increase the weight and cost of the device, and it will have an impact on battery life.
Bluetooth 4: the next generation iPad will use Bluetooth 4 chips from Broadcom, and iPhone 4S, Bluetooth 4 more efficient, faster transfer speed.
Siri: Siri, there is currently no evidence to suggest the next generation iPad will be equipped with this feature, people with iPad may not have been used, if the iPad 3 comes with a Siri, so long needs to upgrade the quality of the microphone, there is evidence that the microphone accessories and iPad iPad 3 2 different.
Gigabit WiFi: from new Gigabit Broadcom WiFi chip will substantially enhance the iPad’s wireless capability, and allows the user to use a wireless network to watch 1080p video. But it is uncertain whether the iPad will use the chip.
Thunderbolt:iPad 3, certainly not with lightning interface.
Camera: If iPad 3 is equipped with support for 1080p HD display, it does not support 1080p camera is sort of hard to, maybe iPad 3 with 5 million pixel camera optical system and from the new iPhone 4S.
Speaker: iPad iPad 2 case and 3 shell looks basically the same, so the possibility is equipped with stereo speakers is very low.
NFC:iPhone 5 may be equipped with NFC chip, but if same chips, iPad 3 may also join the feature.
New Gorilla glass: new Gorilla glass than the older hard and light 20%,iPad 3 new Gorilla glass is highly likely, you also do not want to have a Retina display a variety of scratch.
128GB selection: this should not occur, Apple appears iCloud service is to enable users to reduce their dependence on equipment capacity.
