Rumored Features of the Apple iPad 3

There have been speculations that the next generation Apple iPadwill have retina display. That means that the iPad 3 will have thelargest resolution compared to the previous versions. It would featurea 2,048 by 1,536 pixels resolution for 326 dots per inch which is similar to the density of the touchscreen on the iPhone 4.

There are latest rumors stating that the iPad 3 will be launched early next year while others say that it would come out this fall or winter. It has been Apple’s policy not to comment on rumors and it hasn’t talked about the next generation iPad.
Apple’s iPad now faces a lot of competition from tablets running on Android mobile platform. To be competitive, the iPad 3 must be thinner, faster, and lighter. A better screen would also lure in the consumers.

he Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is thinner and lighter than the iPad 2. But its plastic back feels cheap compared to the iPad 2’s aluminum material. Apple could use plastic and glass combination for the iPad 3 to come out with a lighter and thinner tablet.
The iPad’s glossy screen reflects too much light and makes it hard to read outdoors. Apple could incorporate a glare protector so that it could become a major player in the e-book market. Apple provides it for its MacBook Pro laptops and this should be an option for the iPad as well.
