The report comes from Korean Times, a newspaper that has previously made some predictions about the iPad 2. Legitimacy of this source can be hardly doubted.
“Apple’s upcoming iPad 3 will feature an improved display to support quad extended graphics (QXGA), a display resolution of 2048×1536 pixels with a 4:3 aspect ratio to provide full high definition (HD) viewing experience,” said a source close to the talks.
“Apple has traditionally preferred to use the same providers of the same parts for the same device, even as they evolve to different versions. I don’t see any fundamental change to that approach.”
A Retina Display on an iPad would definitely look amazing. However, one should next expect an iPad 3 release at least until next year. Reportedly, this testing is being carried out in some lab in China and is expected to be completed by the end of Q3, 2011.
