iPad 3 to Receive HD Display?
The Apple iPad rumor wheel never stops turning and for those of us out here on the rim it can sometimes be difficult to wade through all the dross and find that one relevant and hopefully plausible little gem of potential truth. The iPad 3 is currently expected by many on the web to go on sale in the US sometime around March. So with this possible release date looming closer and closer what can we say we know about the iPad 3?
Apple Media Event Coming in Late Jan
Apple is rumored to be planning a big media-centric event in New York (yes, The Big Apple) in late January. However, from the sound of things it’s sounding like it mightn’t be too big of a deal. The word around the web is that we aren’t going to be seeing anything major like an iPad 3, iPhone 5, iPhone nano, new iPod Touch or any other kind of hardware beginning with “i”. In fact, it’s sounding like the event will be mostly focused on publishing or advertising.
iPad Mini Rumours Surface Again
Amongst the bevy of retina screen/to-the-edge displays/super battery/keyboard/even more outlandish iPad rumors from last season one in particular seemed to be the most wide-spread: the iPad Mini. We thought the rumor had died, due to no other evidence than it inexplicably disappearing from tech blogs and geek forums alike.
More iOS Rumors
Let’s face it, the iOS rumor mill is never going to stop. This week we’ve got a few new ones to report on. If you haven’t heard of Siri then we’d usually ask you where you’ve been hiding yourself for the last couple of months, but seeing as we have a bit to go through we’ll just quickly fill you in. Siri is Apple’s brand new Native Talk app, that allows users an impressive range of functionality simply by speaking to their iPhone 4S handsets. We know what you’re thinking; that you’ve heard this all before and voice-command interfaces always turn out to be all talk and no action. Well by all accounts Siri actually works really well and seems to be the most impressive voice recognition integration anyone has yet seen on a smartphone.
iPad 3 Even Thinner and Lighter?
According to a report by the Taiwan Economic News, Apple has secured two new manufacturers to supply battery packs for the upcoming iPad 3. These new packs are reportedly thinner than lighter than anything Apple has used before in its iPad tablets. Tech sites such as PhoneArena have speculated that this could mean that the iPad 3 as a whole will be thinner and lighter than the iPad 2. If true this would hardly be surprising, given Apple’s traditional approach to physical design, as well as a need to compete with Samsung’s Galaxy Tablet line, who’s profile is also becoming increasingly slim.
