Geek Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ipad-3-screen-invite.jpg" alt="iPad 3 Invite showing screen" title="ipad-3-screen-invite" width="620" height="518" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27827" /></p> <p>It’s official: Apple will be unveiling the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/ipad-3/">next iPad</a> on March 7 in San Francisco at 10:00 AM PST. The confirmation of the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/13/next-ipad-to-be-announced-on-march-7/">previously rumored</a> date came in the form of press invites sent out this morning, with an image showing what looks to be a high definition iPad screen and the words “<em>We have something you really have to see. And touch.</em>”</p> <p>Since the invitation was sent out, <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-02-28/apple-to-hold-product-event-march-7-to-unveil-what-s-said-to-be-the-ipad-3.html">Bloomberg</a> has chimed in to confirm that iPad 3 will feature the much expected <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/10/how-ipad-3s-retina-display-resolution-would-compare-to-other-screens/">high-resolution display</a> which is “<em>capable of greater resolution than the current iPad, with more pixels on its screen than some high- definition televisions… the pixels are small enough to make the images look like printed material</em>,” a quad core CPU and greater graphics processing capabilities, and be compatible with significantly faster 4G LTE wireless networks, noting that iPad will receive LTE support prior to the iPhone because of it’s larger battery capacity. The latter hinting that iPhone 5 will feature 4G LTE too.</p> <p>Additionally, <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2012/02/28/ipad-3-rear-shell-measures-in-at-9-5-mm-thick-0-8-mm-thicker-than-ipad-2/">MacRumors</a> posted some photos of a digital caliper measuring the thickness of what claims to be the rear shell of an iPad 3. The shell itself looks identical to the iPad 2 rear aluminium enclosure, but it measures in at 9.5mm, or about 0.8mm thicker than the current iPad 2. For some comparison to a tangible object, the iPhone 4 is also 9.5mm thick.</p> <p>There is no information on iPad 3 availability after the initial launch, but typically Apple releases new iOS products within a week or two after announcement. Considering the immense interest in a retina screened quad core iPad, we can only hope that pre-orders will offered through Apple’s Online Store, otherwise expect long lines, daily sell outs, and weeks to months before the supply catches up to demand.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/pKiFN-W_L08b_AuNA37xobJpa98/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/pKiFN-W_L08b_AuNA37xobJpa98/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/pKiFN-W_L08b_AuNA37xobJpa98/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/pKiFN-W_L08b_AuNA37xobJpa98/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=WXKPXVMnXJ4:HHTenYXOnRc:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=WXKPXVMnXJ4:HHTenYXOnRc:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=WXKPXVMnXJ4:HHTenYXOnRc:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=WXKPXVMnXJ4:HHTenYXOnRc:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=WXKPXVMnXJ4:HHTenYXOnRc:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=WXKPXVMnXJ4:HHTenYXOnRc:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=WXKPXVMnXJ4:HHTenYXOnRc:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/WXKPXVMnXJ4" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
