Apple has secured Simplo Technology Co. and Dynapack International Technology Corp.
to supply battery packs for the vendor's
upcoming iPad 3 tablet,
Taiwan Economic News
reported on Tuesday. According to the report, the new batteries will be
thinner and lighter than the modules used in Apple's current
iPad 2 models,
and Apple's cost for the power packs will apparently jump by between
20% and 30% as a result. The report also states that Apple's new iPad 3
batteries will feature a longer service life than the
previous-generation packs used in the
iPad 2.
A thinner, lighter battery could mean Apple is conserving space for a
new beefier Retina Display, or it could mean Apple is slimming down the
iPad 3 case from the iPad 2′s already-svelte 0.34-inch-thick profile. Apple
is expected to launch the iPad 3 early next year.
