The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Apple has been testing out a new, smaller-screened tablet than the iPad and iPad 2 that could be released alongside the iPad 3 in March. The new display reportedly measures 8 inches diagonally, down from the 9.7 inch screen of the current iPad range.
The web is buzzing today over a purported leaked photo of the upcoming iPad 3’s casing. As always with Apple rumors, we suggest you don’t put too much stock in this as it’s currently totally unsubstantiated. However, the images do convey some surprising information, should they turn out to be the real-deal.
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?
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.
There’s a rumor doing the rounds right now that Apple might be releasing a new iPad in time for Christmas. Whether or not this could be the iPad 3 or an upgraded iPad 2 is uncertain, although speculation seems to be favoring the latter of the two options.
