Apple will be unveiling the iPad 3, the company’s upcoming tablet, next month, according to a post in Apple news blog iMore.
Rene Ritchie of iMore reported that Apple is planning to announce the new iPad on March 7 in an event in San Francisco. Ritchie has cited sources “who have been reliable in the past.”
The report also stated the tablet’s specs, saying that it will feature a quad-core Apple A6 chip and 4G LTE networking. Some sources say that the upcoming iPad will have a retina display (2048 x 1536 pixels), which will enable it to display four times as many pixels as the iPad 2.
The move to a quad-core system-on-a-chip will enable the iPad to display images with increased detail while not requiring developers to rewrite their apps. Also, Apple is known to introduce a new processor for every iPad they launch, just like the A5 on the iPad 2.
A separate report by the Wall Street Journal said that the iPad 3 will come with 4G LTE connectivity, which is included in the wishlist of the device’s users. It added that AT&T and Verizon will be selling these tablets.
One thing that drives Apple from 4G LTE connectivity is battery life, as rival Android tablets supper from poor performance of its battery.
