From one exposure to another an anonymous Apple employee was overheard attesting that the new iPad 3 is, “essentially the same size and shape as the iPad 2 with an

improved and truly amazing screen”. Refusing to be named, the employee also added that, “It will have a faster processor and will be released at an event in early March”.

Wow! All the patience and waiting for the coming of the new iPad 3 is starting to pay off. These statements from a reliable source only affirm the speculations which have been building up for the past few weeks surrounding the iPad 3.

To iterate, the most-awaited new iPad 3 could exactly have a look that’s totally the same with that of the iPad 2. The only differences would be a faster processor, improved camera, and longer battery life. Well of course, we can also expect a few more additional features or programs such as the iPhone 4S virtual assistant Siri and also face recognition to help boosts its security.

Although these are yet to be confirmed by Apple themselves, the iPad 3 rumors are becoming more and more promising. Still, there are some gossips that will unlikely be true. Last time the New York Times had published a report that its “unclear” whether the iPad 3 will really be named as such. This is slightly due to Apple’s decision to call the supposed to be fifth generation iPhone as iPhone 4S instead of iPhone 5. iPad 2S anyone? Another iPad 3 rumor that’s ambiguous is whether the processors will really be a quad-core chip. Maybe it will be called A6 but chances are it could only be an improved and faster version of the A5 that is already in the iPad 2. Thus, whether these iPad 3 rumors are true or not let’s not keep our hopes too high.
