Apple chooses Pegatron to make iPad 3, March shipments
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAppleiPad 3
Pegatron Technology has reportedly received a small volume of orders for the upcoming iPad 3, which is set to launch in March, according to Digitimes. Apple has reportedly revamped the company’s outsourcing strategy and will have Pegatron focus on production of the iPad series, with Foxconn serving serving as an auxiliary in 2013. Foxconn‘s primary focus will be the iPhone, with Pegatron only producing a small number of smartphones. The new strategy is meant to decrease risk and increase the quality of products, according to the report. The Cupertino-based company has already visited Pegatron‘s plants in China several times. The publication also claimed that Pegatron is expected to see a “si...

iPad 3 to land in 3-4 months tips sources
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAppleiPad 3
The rumors about the next-generation iPad are coming quickly. Another source is claiming that the new iPad 3 will land in the next 3-4 months. We heard a very similar rumor early in December that the iPad 3 was due to launch in February. That is a bit sooner than the latest rumor claims. According to the latest rumor, the makers of components for the iPad 3 have started to ship the parts to OEM contractors for assembly.
At the same time, the production and shipment of parts for the current generation tablets have been reduced according to the sources. Production of the iPad 2 is continuing at a brisk pace with 14-15 million units of the iPad 2 expected to be produced in Q4. The production wi...

DisplaySearch: iPad 3 in Q1 to start tablet resolution surge
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAppleiPad 3
The iPad 3 display should help kick off a dramatic improvement in the quality of tablet displays early next year, DisplaySearch said. Based on its own shipment forecast data, it expected the typical pixels per inch (PPI) of a tablet to jump from 147 at the end of 2011 to 191 in early 2012. It understood that two tablet screens shipping in the fall would be instrumental to the spike, including a 1920x1200 10-inch display showing in the Iconia Tab A700 and the 9.7-inch, 2048x1536 screen that could only be destined for Apple's new tablet.
More companies are expected to come onboard slightly later and push the PPI to 203 during the spring, researchers said. By the summer, that number would grow ...

iOS 5 code references support 'J2' model iPad 3
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsAppleiOS 5iPad 3
Code strings in iOS 5 support the existence of the "J2" model iPad 3 claimed by Digitimes, according to 9to5Mac. The device is listed alongside familiar codenames for other Apple devices such as the iPhone 4. Apple has allegedly been considering two different designs as a successor to the iPad 2, the J2 being a more advanced device than the J1, also using different dimensions. The iOS 5 code also groups the J2 alongside other 3G-capable hardware.
The J2 is expected to have a extremely high-resolution 2048x1536 display, and by extension twin LED light bars. Few other details have emerged about its design, but parts for an iPad 3 are already believed to be in production. The likely goal is hav...

Apple iPad 3 to be slightly thicker, iPhone 5 longer so as to accommodate a 4" display
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsAppleiPad 3
Welcome, new season of leaks about the next iDevices, we've hardly had reruns of the last one. And so it goes - the iPad 3 we've heard ad nauseam about already, is now rumored to be slightly thicker than iPad 2, in order to accommodate the twin LED light bars needed for the high-resolution display, which was supposedly the culprit for its delays. This one is supposed to come in March the latest, and supposedly announced as soon as January, if its screen makers LG, Samsung and Sharp get their ducks in a row on time.

Next iPad to launch in March, 'real' iPad 3 coming in Q3 2012
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAppleiPad 3
Apple is preparing to launch a slightly upgraded iPad 2 in March of 2012, DigiTimes reported on Thursday. The new iPad is rumored to be thinner and is said to offer better battery life than the current model. It is unclear what Apple will call the device launching in March, but the company reportedly has plans to launch a “real” iPad 3 during the third quarter of 2012. Samsung, Sharp and LG are said to be working on a new Retina Display for the next-generation iPad, which may also pack a faster A6 processor, but rumors of manufacturing issues have suggested it may take Apple longer than originally planned to introduce a model with that equipment. A report last month from Ticonderoga Securiti...

iPad 3 production starts this quarter according to Susquehanna
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsAppleiPad 3
Production of Apple’s third-generation iPad is about to get underway according to Susquehanna Financial Group analyst Jeffrey Fidacaro. According to Fidacaro, Apple’s manufacturing partners have orders to build as many as 1 million iPad 3 tablets in the fourth quarter of this year, in line with an earlier note from the analyst’s colleague at Susquehanna, Christopher Caso. “Our checks indicate that iPad 3 has now shown up on AAPL’s production forecast for a late-4Q production start,” Caso wrote in a recent research note. “We believe 0.6 mln-1 mln units are forecasted for 4Q production.” Last week, Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White said that Apple will unveil a new entry-level “iPad m...

iPad 3, LTE iPhone promise 'monster' Apple earnings next year
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsAppleiPad 3
Is Apple’s product pipeline too full of home runs to fail? The release of the iPhone 5, a second entry-level iPhone, the next iPad and even next year’s 4G LTE-powered iPhone will help Apple maintain its series of “monster” quarters according to Wedbush analyst Scott Sutherland. He expects Apple to ship 26 million iPhones during the first quarter of next year, up from 23 million during the first quarter of this year. New product launches are the special sauce to Apple’s success, Sutherland says. “While the iPhone 4 appears to be selling well due to existing market demand and new markets, we expect a bump up from the iPhone 5 this October, and a lower end iPhone geared towards emerging markets...

LG, Samsung and Sharp to provide iPad 3 Retina display
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsSamsungLGSHARPAppleiPad 3
LG, Samsung and Sharp will provide Retina displays for Apple’s iPad 3, DigiTimes reported on Tuesday. In mid-July, rumors surfaced that Apple was testing Retina displays from Samsung and LG, and those rumors were confirmed days later when LG’s CEO said Apple will use its Retina LCDs in its next-generation iPad. Apple is also reportedly considering an investment of as much as $1 billion in a new Sharp factory that will be used to provide screens for its iPhone and iPad products. LG will be the largest iPad 3 LCD supplier followed by Samsung, although DigiTimes said Sharp could soon surpass the South Korea-based company as Apple’s second largest iPad 3 panel provider.

Apple's A6 chip to boost speed, battery life in next iPad
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 3
Apple's next iPad will be faster and more power-efficient thanks to its new, quad-core A6 processor, but the new tablet may not be ready to ship until next June, an industry analyst said Monday.
The A6 will succeed the dual-core A5 processor used in Apple's iPad 2, said Linley Gwennap, founder and principal analyst at the Linley Group. The A6 will likely be made by chip foundry company TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.), Gwennap said, citing multiple sources. The A5 is manufactured by Samsung, and Apple is embroiled in a legal dispute with that company. [Although many industry analysts have proclaimed knowledge of Apple's plans that seem suspect, Gwennap is an old hand in the sem...

More evidence Apple is testing 4G LTE iPhone and iPad emerges
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksCell PhonesAppleiPhone 4siPad 3
New evidence has emerged that further confirms Apple’s ongoing tests of an LTE-enabled iPhone and iPad. BGR exclusively reported last week that multiple Apple carrier partners are currently testing iPhone models equipped with LTE radios. Our source also supplied a PLIST file containing evidence of the LTE-enabled iPhone. Now, MacRumors has discovered this LTE.plist file in iOS 5 developer builds for both the GSM iPhone 4 and the CDMA iPad 2. While the discovery of these files does not necessarily indicate that Apple plans to release 4G LTE-compatible devices in the near future, it does reaffirm that ongoing tests are being conducted with the new high-speed wireless technology.

Tips to the WSJ had Apple contractors already building 1.5 million iPad 3s in the fall, in part to see if it can improve yields ahead of full production runs.

Rumor: iPad with "retina display" no longer coming out this fall
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 3
According to Taiwanese rumor site DigiTimes, who has a track record that’s square in the middle of the “it could be bullshit, it could be true” barometer of believability, Apple had hopes of launching a third generation iPad this fall, and shipping between 6.5 million and 8 million units by the end of this calendar year, but they had to scrap said plans because they’re finding it difficult to secure availability of LCD panels. Right now, the only manufacturer who can reliably make the 9.7 inch 2,048 x 1,536 pixel “retina display” that many are assuming will be the highlight feature of the iPad 3, is Sharp. Both Samsung and LG have yet to reach a satisfactory level of yields on such advanced ...

Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksAppleiPad 3
The version of the iPad 2 with a high-res display, which was supposed to come by year-end, is now reportedly been delayed due to screen production issues.
Apple's next tablet is known as the iPad 2 Plus, iPad HD, or simply iPad 3, and some iOS 5 coding revealed that it should sport a screen with double the current resolution, or 2048x1536 pixels. The high-res slate is supposedly aimed at professional graphic designers, film editors and the like, and rumored to come with dedicated versions of Apple's image and video editing software.
