Rumors are multiplying exponentially now. Will iPad 3 be shown on Steve Jobs anniversary birthday (February 24), or we should wait till March? Launch date aside, rumors may also have two, or even three candidates for new iPads that about to appear in 2012. There were at least two schools of thought, so to speak, on the iPad 3 (or just call it "new iPad" probable thickness: some say, it will be thicker (+1 mm or so), others say, it will be of the same thickness, or even thinner. It's hard to determine, which models of "new iPad" both were referring to though. One insight in that thickness issue was given by a case manufacturer Chinee:
Case shown is obviously not much stretchable, so it's a tight fit. But its inner space is designed to fit a slightly thicker iPad, so the "thicker" rumor spreaders might be winning at this point. However, another interesting piece of information that 9to5Mac.com tells about this case is that it is meant for device named iPad 2S.
So, not only rumors mutiply, but these rumors begin to fork for different possible models.
Other rumors of using improved HD FaceTime-capable camera and quad-core A6 processor are rather old, even if getting more and more support. The only question that remains here, is better camera and/or A6 meant to iPad 2S too, or it's reserved just for "proper" iPad 3?
Rumors aside, a decision to get iPad 3, or iPad 2S, or whatever, at lauch, or any time after launch is not an easy one. There's no doubt that Siri made a hit out of otherwise not really interesting iPhone 4S. What on iPad 2S (or iPad 3) can make a current user of iPad 2 cough up in excess of 5 Franklins to get this next installment of Apple's tablet design? Is it that HD FaceTime camera interacting with virtual but visual Siri lady? Or we should wait till iPad 4 for that?
We'll see soon.
