iPad 3 to Gain Improved Cameras


Submitted by Dan; January 05, 2012
iLounge reports a few new notes from a source about Apple's plans for the iPad 3. Among the most interesting notes is the claim that the next generation iPad will carry significantly improved cameras on the front and back, moving to a FaceTime HD camera on the front and a higher resolution iPhone like camera on the rear.
  1. A few next-gen iPad notes, ahead of the show. Both cameras are getting upgrades. Front goes HD, rear becomes iPhone 4/4S-like (bigger).
  2. Body of the next iPad is, as we previously reported, getting just a little thicker to accommodate new parts - little = 1mm give or take.
  3. Curve radiuses on the body will change only a little to accommodate the added thickness, not dramatically. Think iPad 2 Pro, not a redesign.
iLounge's source also follows some other current rumors reporting that Apple will continue to offer the iPad 2 alongside the iPad 3, dropping the price of the current model in order to tackle increasing competition from lower priced competitors such as Amazon's Kindle Fire. Horwitz offers a $399 base price for the iPad 2 as a possibility, although that number appears to be pure speculation.
The iPad 3 is said to be in line for another March release, similar to that seen with the iPad 2 last year.

Announcements from Apple the day after the "Red Friday" day of offers in Asia. I saw this coming. Expect several more announcements over the next few days, now that the sales are over.

iPad2 will continue to be sold, but for how long will Apple support it with new versions of IOS? Not long enough is my guess.
