The third-generation iPad is expected to have a screen resolution of 2,048-by-1,536 pixels, which would be a pixel density double that of the current iPad 2. It’s also a resolution greater than a 1080p high-definition television set.
- Though the current iPad 2 Smart Cover protects only the glass touchscreen of the device, Apple is rumored to be working on a new case that will also feature a rear shell.
- Total iPad shipments are expected to grow by nearly 20 million units in 2012, with Apple’s third-generation iPad expected to lead the way with 40 million total units
FUNCTIONS:
- (CAMERA) – I’ve heard some rumors saying that it will feature the same 8MP camera sensor as the iPhone 4S. This would make for an amazing camera on the tablet.
- (A5X Processor-the iPad 3). The A5X would likely be a dual-core chip that is an upgrade from the A5, but not quite the boost many of us expected in the form of an A6 processor.
- (Ipad3 SIRI SUPPORT)- This is possible, but I’m not as willing to bet on it as I am LTE and a Retina display. It makes sense given that Apple will likely want Siri on all their devices in the future as they continue to create a uniform environment across their operating systems
- (iPad mini in future)?? We’ve heard time and time again that Apple wants to release a 7-inch tablet
