The iPad 3 release date has been in the news loop for long. Here’s some more rumor – this time, putting the iPad 3 release date closer to March. Macotakara, a Japanese website dealing with Apple news leaked – or rumored – that Apple is looking for an early February launch and an early March release date for the iPad 3. If that is going to happen, quite a lot of people are going to be happy!
The iPad 3, you would have already read on our website and from various other sources, is a top-notch tablet from Apple, building on the iPad 2. There are quite a lot of interesting iPad 3 features on the charts. Although some of the iPad 3 specs have been logically constructed, based on the upstream supply chain information and sources from manufacturers, most of them are still under the rumors category. Nevertheless, they are very impressive!
Of the iPad3 specifications, the most prominent one is the display. While first, it was reported that Apple is looking a dual-LED designs which would make the iPad 3 thicker than iPad 2, it was later said a work-around for this had been achieved. That made the iPad 3 as thin as the iPad 2. The enhanced display with such dual-LED backlights would mean that the resolution is about to hit much higher values. The iPhone 4S’s retina display could transmigrate to iPad 3 too – providing excellent, high-def quality on the iPad 3.
Things like Siri could also appear on iPad 3 – especially considering the popularity of Siri on iPhone 4S. Siri is a very classic selling point right now and people would lap it up if it came on iPad 3. For this, the iPad 3 would have the latest iOS too. The current beta iOS 5.1 could very well see a public release pretty soon – and if that happened before the launch of iPad 3, it could feature on the iPad 3 specs.
There seems to be an ongoing debate regarding LTE support on Apple’s iPad 3 too. For the moment though, nothing is confirmed on that.
So, in a crux, iPad 3 release date looks to be around March. Of all the things speculated highly, the iPad 3 release date and specifications are the most-talked about. We just have to wait a while now!

iPad 3 Features & Specs Expectation
- Retina Display: People were expecting a retina display with the iPad 2; but the iPad disappointed them with the same display of the previous iPad. Now followers are waiting for an iPad 3 with a retina display. There is a rumor that the iPad 3 may offer a resolution of 2048×1536 pixels.
- SD Card Slot: People are expecting a revolution in Apple iPad 3 with an SD card slot. Hopefully Apple may introduce SD card slot with the third generation iPad.
- Improved HDMI: Yes iPad 2 also supports HDMI playback but you need to have Apple digital AV adapter, and that comes at an additional cost of $39. So it is much expected from iPad 3 to have an HDMI port that eliminates additional requirement of the HDMI cable.
- Camera Flash: A camera with flash is a much-waited feature of the iPad; people were expecting iPad 2 to have camera flash; now we would be wondering if iPad 3 will have camera with flash.
- Thunderbolt: The iPad 3 may have a Thunderbolt port. That will offer power, video and data connectivity using the same connector at lightning speed.
- Wireless Synchronize: People are expecting iPad 3 to offer wireless sync of content rather than the traditional wired connectivity.
