SuperRumor: iPad 3 in 2011?
by Robert Quigley | 10:55 am, February 10th, 2011
As of yet, there is no hard evidence to support this theory whatsoever, but it’s just sneaky and daring enough that we wouldn’t rule it out of Apple’s playbook: Blogger John Gruber speculates that in the fall of 2011, Apple could release an “iPad 3″ or at least an “iPad 2.5″ hot on the heels of its as-yet-not-even-announced iPad 2 this spring.
Gruber, known for his connections within Apple and his habit of sometimes serving as a cipher for the company, stresses that this is purely his guess. One mystery this would appealingly resolve is the conflict between reports that the iPad 2 would have a so-called “retina display” and analyses debunking this:
How could Apple release a third-generation iPad just six months or so after the second one? Maybe it won’t be an actual next generation model. Maybe it’s more like an iPad 2.5, or iPad 2 Pro — a new higher-end model that sits atop the iPad product family, not a replacement for the iPad 2 models (which, of course, haven’t even been released yet).
Or: an iPad 2 HD. What if that’s the source of the conflicting reports of a retina display next-gen iPad? I am nearly dead certain the iPad 2 is going to have the same display resolution and size as the current iPad. I am not so sure at all, though, that there won’t be a double-resolution 2048 × 1536 iPad in 2011. Is that a technically aggressive release schedule? Absolutely. But Apple has invested $4 billion on some sort of unspecified components for future products.
Either way, it’s a step up from the mucus-secreting new MacBook Pro.
