2. Apple Expected to Launch iPad 3 in March: What to Expect ?
More and more rumors are suggesting towards March launch of iPad 3
(March 7 to be precise if reports are to be believed). Going by trends, it is
very much likely that these rumors will come true. It is not just the launch
date which is keeping people excited, there is a great amount of
excitement over what to expect from iPad 3, what all features it will boast
off.
In this post we will have a look at what to expect from iPad 3 – at least in
terms of generic specs and hardware. Let’s get started.

3. Processor
Apple is expected to include Quad-core ARM based A6 processor in
iPad 3. Quad-core designs are coming from various ARM partners and
the Tegra 3 has already been launched by Nvidia, as well as the
Snapdragon S4 from Qualcomm. 9to5mac has also reported to have
found code references to quad-core.

4. Design and Display
Most experts are suggesting towards 2048×1536 Retina display on iPad
3, it may cause iPad to be little thicker. Apple is not expected to make
much changes to its 10.1″ iPad otherwise. Analyst Ezra Gottheil, with
Technology Business Research (TBR), told Computerworld that he
expects the next iPad to have a higher-resolution display—one it’s likely
to call a “Retina display,” whether that’s quite accurate or not. “That’s
important to them because it means the iPad will work well in their home
theater play, since it will display full HD,” he said. “And it’s an important
differentiator going forward.”

5. 4G LTE Technology
iPad 3 may also feature LTE support. Though it is more likely to be a US
only version, as UK still doesn’t have LTE connectivity. CNET believes that
the new iPad may feature a Qualcomm 4G LTE Gobi 4000 chip.

6. Operating System
iPad 3 might be the first device to carry iOS 5.1. According to reports,
Apple will launch the iPad 3 and iOS 5.1 together.

7. More Storage
The iPad 2 has the familiar 16/32/64GB storage options. A 128GB option
for the iPad 3 is expected by many.
Better Cameras
Rumors from iLounge have included better cameras, either a 5 or 8
megapixel rear camera and a FaceTime HD front camera. The current
VGA quality set-up on the iPad 2 is really unsatisfactory. That’d be a
massive improvement and it would also bring Apple’s slate inline with the
competition.

8. Siri
Siri at the moment is an exclusive feature of iPhone 4S. Apple put in a lot
of money in Siri, and it was one of the most talked about feature in
iPhone 4S. No doubt, Apple is interested in Siri for long term. We expect
Apple to make Siri available for iPad, and all future iPhones, iPad 3 is a
good contender for that as well. Going forward, Siri will no doubt be a
staple feature of all Apple’s mobile-oriented devices

9. Near Field Communication
According to a report on Cult of Mac, Apple is expected to build NFC
chips directly inside its iPhone 5 and iPad 3 devices. ‘Apple appears to
be gearing up for a NFC revolution. It has made a lot of NFC hires,
including a leading NFC expert and has patented a lot of NFC
technology.’
