The iPad 2 has been out since the Spring. So now it's time tomove the rumour factory onto iPad 3.
I've gathered together details on its possiblespecifications including chips, cameras and retina displays - with a little bit of help from mysterious, unnamed people who can't possibly be identified.
How very convenient. So what's the word on the street about the next iPad?
I've put together a video wishlist of the features we'd like to see in the next iPad
iPad 3 release date
Although numerous sources such as Reuters reported that the new iPad 3 is due in the fourth quarter of 2011, the signs are it will be early in 2012.
On 1 July, Digitimes reported that Taiwanese-based component suppliers were gearing up for production of iPad 3. In October 2011 it was later reported that production would certainly start before the end of the year.
However, during August, a rumour broke that Apple was set to delay the launch of the iPad 3, due to a shortage of retina displays from its suppliers LG and Samsung - more on the display shortly.
Interestingly, on 3 November 2011, DigiTimes suggested that the Spring's new iPad would, in fact, be a revised iPad 2, with a brand new iPad design due later in 2012.
The iPad 3 UK release date is a mystery
With Apple unable to meet initial demand for iPad 2, we'd expect a staggered release date for the iPad 3 too: Apple will most likely follow the pattern it has with the previous two iPad launches and have a US release first, followed by a UK release days later.
According to the Korea Times in November 2011, the A6 processors are to be manufactured by Samsung, despite the companies' ongoing patent battles.
The iPad 3 specs include a dual-core processor...
It's possible that the iPad 3 will have a brand spanking new processor, Apple's A6 - which will surely be a quad-core ARM-based processor.Quad-core designs are imminent from all ARM partners.
