The iPad 2

3 to be sold on the market so you can get the iPad 2 for a cheaper price. Do any of these scenarios describe your current Apple iPad dilemma? Except for those who have enough resources, here’s a side-by-side comparison of the iPad 2 vs. iPad 3 features to help you sort things out.

The Design

Both will have the teardrop design and aluminum plate casing. But there’s a possibility that iPad 3 will be thicker in width since developers have to make space for the iPad 3’s upgraded battery and advanced system and processor.

Retina Display

The iPad 2 has a screen resolution of 1024×768 pixels. This allowed for satisfactory viewing of basic videos and photos. But the iPad 3 will have a new retina display and screen resolution of 2048×1536 pixels. This is twice having the resolution of the preceding iPad version! If so, the iPad 3 will support 3D and full-HD graphics. Neat, huh?

The Processors

With a 900MHz dual-core ARM Cortext-A9 Processor, the Apple A5 chipset of the iPad 2 made sure that it stayed supreme over other tablets around the world. But since Apple is always searching for ways to outdo their innovations, expect the iPad 3 to be equipped with the tougher and super powerful A6 processor! It will surely boast of lightening speed of file sharing and longer battery life.

The Camera

The iPad 2 had been installed with a generous 0.7 megapixel rear-end cam that has a capability of a 720p video capture. Its front-end cam on the other hand, is VGA and just enough to hold a video conference. With Apple’s competitors producing and shifting tablets with very high resolution cams globally, Apple will surely amp up the camera of the iPad 3. The back-end camera is expected to be bumped at 5-8 megapixels with a dual LED flash while the front-facing cam will be having 2 megapixels.

Operating System

When it comes to the operating system, there’s no doubt that iPad 3 will be in better standing. It’s an expected improvement so, while the iPad 2 is currently sporting the iOS 4.3 version, Apple is rumored to be adapting the latest iOS 5 on the new iPad 3. And what will the users get from the latest OS? All the features of iOS 5 combined with the iCloud.

The Size

With the iPad 2 vs. iPad 3, iPad 3 is rumored to be a lot thicker than the iPad 2. But don’t drop your dreams of Apple’s latest tablet just yet! If this is true, only a width of 1 mm is expected to be added. Although the battery of the iPad 3 will be smaller and lighter, it is the new retina display that developers needed to make room for. But with all the high definition and technology iPad 3 is promising to bring to its users 1 mm isn’t much of a sacrifice, is it?

These are just a few obvious comparisons that can be seen from the iPad 2 vs. iPad 3. It doesn’t take great amounts of analytical skills to conclude that the iPad 3 is an upgraded version of the iPad 2. But aside from these advancements, so we’ve heard that iPad 3 will be sporting these additional features:ipad 3

  • Siri
  • 4G technology
  • Near Field Communication (NFC)
  • Face Recognition
  • Wireless Charging Technology

Apple iPad 3 Release Date

With iPad 3 rumors increasing all the time as the anticipation of the release date of the world’s most love tablet is heightening, some of the hearsays are getting stronger and repetitive suggesting that there might be some truth into them.

Yes! We all heard and read it. The iPad 3 is going to be thinner (or will it be thicker?), sleeker, and definitely features packed compared to the iPad 2. But one question remains, when is the iPad 3 coming out? When is the ipad 3 release date?

Although Apple has not dispensed any official announcements, a new report has been confirmed that iPad 3 could be released at the beginning of March.

Earlier, iPad 3 rumors suggested that it will be released during Christmas of 2011 or on Feb. 4 which happens to be the birth date of Steve Jobs. But these dates are closing in, still no iPad 3 yet. So why should we believe the early March Apple iPad 3 release date rumor?

Here’s, what we think we know, why:

Last July 2011, Digitimes reported that suppliers were boosting production of components for the iPad 3. Then in October, rumors spread that production of the tablets will begin by the end of 2011. By November, panels for the new iPad 3 had been shifted.

Then just last month, Foxconn (major manufacturing partner of Apple) is said to have started production of the new iPad 3. And they are expected to reach full volume by the month of February.

Official announcements and promotions of iPad 3 are therefore to be expected this month. And with Apple usually releasing the actual products a month after, high hopes can be set that iPad 3 release date will be on early March.
