Here's
an interesting piece of info regarding Apple's third-generation iPad
tablet (which is reportedly already in production): it may not be called
iPad 3, as most assume, but iPad 2S. Chinese case maker Chinee has recently unveiled cases especially made for an "iPad 2S". These cases (you can view them here) should fit a device designed to be 1mm thicker than the current iPad model - hence 9.8mm. Moreover, 9to5Mac says the Chinese company "claimed such design knowledge came from sources within Apple's supply chain." Now, why would Apple want to make a thicker iPad instead of a thinner one? Well, if the new device has a 2048 x 1536 pixels display, LTE connectivity and a quad-core processor, as rumored, it will certainly need a seriously large battery. So, larger battery - thicker case. |
