iPad 3 rumor roundup: everything we think we know
Apple's special media event—one that many believe to be for the next-generation iPad—is now mere days away. By this time next week, we'll know once and for all how many of those pesky pre-event rumors were true and which ones were made up by "optimistic" sources.
Because there are so many elements to consider for the as-yet-unannounced iPad, which is colloquially being referred to as the "iPad 3," we thought we'd round them up in one spot to talk about what seems most plausible.
The rumor that has probably received the most coverage and had the highest number of "confirmations" across reliable publications has been the one that states the iPad 3 will have a high-resolution "retina" display similar to the one in the iPhone 4 and 4S. An iPad with a retina display has actually been rumored since before the iPad 2 was introduced a year ago, and some observers were disappointed when the iPad 2 appeared with the same resolution as its predecessor.
