iPad 3 Release Date And Specs Guide (Rumors)

Although the launch of the Apple iPhone 4S wasn’t as well received as the launch of an iPhone 5 would have been, Apple is still working hard on setting us up with some new playthings. As it always is with Apple products, the rumor mill has been spinning with quite some speed and we started hearing rumors related to the iPad 3 release date and the specifications of the upcoming Apple tablet. Personally I can’t wait to see what the iPad 3 is bringing to the table as the competition is pretty impressive!

iPad 3 Release Date, Specs

The latest report came from the Asian supply chain for Apple which says that the company will be equipping the next generation Apple iPad 3 with a full HD display. The upcoming tablet from the manufacturer is rumored to launch sometime in March of this year.

In terms of known things, the iPad 3 is supposedly coming with double the pixel density of the iPad 2 as well as a new battery to improve on the 10 hour battery life of the previous iPad.
