What the #$&k does that even mean? Seriously.
I was trying to make a joke about how tv shows like NCIS and other murder shows. Will sometimes do crazy unbelievable things to find the bad guy.

I don't get the "only an iPad 2S". Should Apple make the next one a circular screen, kind of like a dinner plate, just so it can be different enough to be called a "3"?
The "S" doesn't stand for anything in particular that we know of. Speed, Steve, or just some random letter used for marketing. Much like the "i", which has gone through several meanings and is now meaningless, the "S" can be whatever people/Apple want it to mean.
So far, the only time Apple has used the "S" nomenclature is when the phone gets a decent but not huge upgrade, keeps it's physical features almost exactly the same as the previous model, and new features are scarce. Does this all fit with the upcoming iPad? Perhaps, but we won't know until the iPad specs are announced. Much like the "i", Apple could simply choose not to give this model a letter simply because they choose not to.
At first glance both iPhones are looking the same. But if you take a closer look, you will find subtle changes. Take the volume/mute buttons for example, which have moved a little compared to the 4-non-S. Or take a closer look at the glass edges, which are different on both devices. And of course the black bands you already mentioned...What's the difference between iPhone 4 and 4S other than the 4S has 4 black bands in the steel frame and 4 only had 3.![]()
Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that Steve Jobs himself said that, with regard to the iPhone 3GS, "the "S" stands for Speed".
Edit: This was during the 2009 Keynote address.

Yes, but it's certainly not noticeable. The product intro video they did for 4S didn't feature Jony Ive at all. I think it was one of the few (the only one?) that didn't feature him in some way. Did Apple ever do product intro video's for the first iPhone and 3G/GS? If Apple puts out a new intro video for this iPad and Jony's not part of it that's the best indication that Apple considers this iPad to have the same form function as iPad 2. It wouldn't surprise me either - with the rumored redesigns of Macbook Pro/Air's as well as TV rumors and of course the new iPhone I'm sure the design team is busy enough. So honestly I could care less if iPad 3 (or whatever they call it) looks just like iPad 2. I just hope the iPad 2 smart covers continue to work with it.At first glance both iPhones are looking the same. But if you take a closer look, you will find subtle changes.

That's almost all the parts out there to build an iPad 3:
logic board
ribbon cables
back case
front glass
LCD panel

I wonder how long it'll be before it's just The New iPad, or The New iPhone. I mean, nobody says Macbook Pro 12, or iPod Nano 7.
How would one go about assembling this? Now with the front panel, I think I have just about everything I need to build my own iPad 3. What kind of adhesive should I use?
Thats okay... it's iPad 3. There will be 40 million sales in the first weekend.![]()
