iPad 3 On Its Way, If The Sources Are To Be Believed [Report]

There won’t be a single college going kid, who doesn’t love iPad tablets by Apple. While first iPad emerged as a benchmark and smartphone killer, iPad 2 generated more buzz amongst the netizens and gadget freaks as it featured some of the hottest and best-in-the-class features. But as stated by one of the biggest supply chain sources DigiTimes, iPad 3 could be on its way and will hit the market within next 3 to 4 months.

The sources at DigiTimes quoted that

OEM production of iPad 2 will remain high at 14-15 million units in the fourth quarter of 2011 but decline to 4-5 million units in the first quarter of 2012, paving the way for the launch of the new iPads, the sources noted.

Apple has strategically slowed down the production of iPad 2 and is expected to start mass production of parts for iPad 3 utilizing full capacity of its manufacturing plant. The news of Apple slowing down production of iPad 2 can be taken as a good sign as it will enable Apple to create demand in market and thus launch new device at the peak of the demand.

People who knows Apple’s release calendar, might guess that launch of iPad 3 in the month of March/April or May is totally possible and thus the illuminating statement made by DigiTimes can be regarded as a pre-release sign.

If reports are to be believed, iPad 3 will sport a new screen design made of 9.7 inches retina display. If it does have this display, it would make iPad 3 the tablet with highest resolution. But as they say, nothing comes for free, naturally Apple would increase the price of the upcoming successor of iPad series.

Other than improved display, we can expect faster processor, new design and greater graphic ability. As we edge closer to March/April/May, rumors are sure to pop up in increasing proportion until Apple itself makes any official statement. Till then, all we can do is wait and keep looking out for leaked news from the insider.
