Confirmed: iPad 3 Has a 2048x1536 Retina Display

I have perfect vision and I'm young, held my iPhone as close as I could and cannot make out any pixels. Unless the iPad 3 is the same way, it's not retina to me. It's still going to be a great display, don't get me wrong. I just like to point out the technicalities. :p

So down my posts if you want. I don't care :p

Point is, nothing of that is technical. :rolleyes:
 
Arn its your mother! Shame on you for turning a rumor into a fact! This isn't MacFacts!

LOL I can't believe how many people jumped on you at first? What do they think is happening there?
 
I wonder when apple will move to have 32GB flash as a minimum. I would probably get a wifi ipad without any doubts if iPad 3 came with 32GB instead of the usual 16GB (at the "low end" price)
 
That ONE upgrade puts it so massively far ahead of the previous two generations that I'm going to buy one. No pixelation at average distance equals WIN.

So your saying that photographers wouldn't want to take an iPad out in the field with them and be able to see VERY high resolution pictures they have just taken and accurately make initial modifications if necessary?

No, I'd be zooming in on the photograph for accuracy (sharpness, focus, etc). I say that as a photographer. Higher res doesnt mean my screen is magically going to show me what i need to see.

This doesnt change anything. When competing products are announced with other components and features, like HDMI!... they get shunned. But a relatively usless feature like a apple branded 'retina' display get praised to no end as if its the next best thing since sliced bread. And as if such a naming convention is needed... Retina Display? Seriously? but for arrogance it sure is.. i wonder if Apple patented it..

Never forget the rulebook:

”2. Focus & keep the discussion focused on the few things they claim is best for you, i.e., keep hammering it. If it (what they FUD against) doesn't come in blue, then blue is the most important thing! Stress BLUE; repeat over and over how important it is to have BLUE!“

(However, my iPad 2 does have HDMI out... although it needs a cable. As HDMI always does... unlike AirPlay which my iPad 2 also has :p )
 
I'm actually happy with my iPad 2.
Getting a little tired of throwing more money at Apple every year in order to keep up to date.
I think my iPad 2 resolution has been perfect. I can see text, images, etc clearly.
If the iPad 3 isn't much more then a higher res display and higher CPU, I'm not going to bother with this one. My current one is filling my needs fine.

Thus is quite some scoop. Well done MacRumors team. :)

How do you know that's a legitimate part? It's not like the iPad 3 is out already.

That and how can a company sell parts for a device Apple hasn't started selling or even introduced yet ?

so caveats.

1. it's one of the many displays being seen by parts suppliers in china. It's possible (but I don't think likely) it's not for the actual iPad 3. It's what is claimed to be an iPad 3 screen that has been floating around the net.

2. Parts frequently start churning out, as products go into production. iPhone 4S parts ramped up prior to it's release. Note, iPhone 5 parts did not ramp up and was a clear sign it wasn't heading into production. I don't know the exact process by which this happens, but it happens.

3. "Confirmed" that the iPad 3 display parts that we have been seeing are Retina.

Can't wait to see what GPU and CPU are powering this thing.

Arn, any insight into who manufactured the display (i.e. - Sharp, Samsung, etc.)?

Do you realize how absurd that is?
No one forces you to upgrade a thing. Yet you're "tired of throwing money at Apple"? LOL!

I hope you were not serious and that it was just a joke.
