iPad 3 Update, Rumor Roundup, and More

It’s no secret that the iPad 3 is in the works by Apple, but it does seem that Apple is trying to keep almost every other aspect of it secret. Because countless rumors have been spread and leaked, it is nearly impossible to predict what features the iPad 3 will actually hold.


One of the most popular rumors state that it will boost 4G LTE compatibility. This, of course, would only be available for Verizon users. Yet another says that the iPad 3 may even be the first real 3D tablet, in which case Apple will probably use similar technology to the HTC Evo 3D. This will be highly improbable, though, due to Apple already having trouble with retina display.

One thing that is constantly changing for this upcoming Apple device is the release date. Originally, the iPad 3 was thought to be released simultaneously with the iPhone 4S/5, but this theory has been confirmed as incorrect. Since then, it has been delayed and scheduled to be released in early 2012.

Some people fear for the future of this project and Apple itself after Steve Jobs resigned from his position as CEO of Apple, but he will still serve as chairman for the company, overlooking the iPad 3 and making sure it stays true to it’s original design. Since leaving his prime spot in the company, the Apple stock has dropped, illustrating just how powerful Steve Jobs was. New CEO, Tim Cook, may not be as iconic or recognizable, but if the iPad 3 is successful, he could very well be the new face of Apple. Experts say he should have the skills to lead Apple just as well, if not better, than Steve Jobs, but only time will tell how big of an impact he will have on the company.

We are still quite far from the unveiling and actual release of the iPad 3, and until then, we can only dream of what features it may bring to the table. Retina display has already been confirmed, so it may just be a matter of time before more features are confirmed, and we slowly piece it together.
