iPad 3 to Arrive This September?

Thats so stupid!!, Apple needs to give it a rest with all these iOS devices.. It's almost like Apple is abandoning the desktop/laptop line.. I mean theres iPad 2, iPhone 5, now iPad 3 =/..

I guess its probably due to how well the ipad is selling.. But I don't know, now I feel like OSX Lion isn't going to be that amazing afterall..
 
Seriously doubt the iPad 3 will come out in the fall. Most likely software only. Apple doesn't need to increase its release cycle. Not to mention its holiday quarters continuously break records as is. It doesn't need a new iPad. I call ********. iPad 3 in April 2012.

My brain hurts!
 
Can someone please explain to me why MacRumors would post a news story based on the speculation of a tech blogger? I dont get Gruber at all... He really shouldn't be that popular.

One of the great strengths of the Android Model is availability more up-to-date hardware, so this may be the only way Apple can respond to the impending slaughter.

Don't know if it will work though.

Impending slaughter?

Gee, you really do speak from your ass, don't you?
 
If this rumour IS a controlled leak...

Apple is fighting fire with fire here: giving all the vaporware manufacturers a spoonful of their own medicine! Stay classy, Apple! :D

I'm so confused!

iPad 3 before we got iPad 2? Apple being slaughtered by droves of little Androids!

I can't take it... I must have the latest and greatest gadget out there! I can't have last years model, or last months, or weeks model. OMG... I'll feel stupid or weak!

That does it... I'm calling Phizer. There has to be a drug for technowienia and I want some!

Well, you're certainly full of SOMEthing. 'Win' isn't the first thing that comes to mind, though. How about: 'Full of tired cliches'? Or maybe 'Full of a desperate, sad craving for attention'? Those are about the nicest things I can think of, that you might be 'full' of.

Thanks for the laugh though.

ahhhhhh...scuse me sir?.....your planet called... they'd like you to return.
 
Let's get the iPad 3 rumors going. Can't have enough rumors.

Love them rumors...........And lawyer jokes....love them also.

sailor jokes?
 
My issue with this and the "if you need it buy it" attitude is that the iPad is a luxury item and no one really needs it and most people get something new because they want something NEW not old. The day the iPhone 4 came out the 3GS was old. You could buy it new but it was still old.

When you look at buying a new car is the car you're looking at in the middle of a model cycle or is a complete redesign right around the corner? I know if I knew the next model would have all new engine, transmission, suspension and body style I would want to wait for that to make my decision.

I guess I wait some more.

Im going to upgrade my iPad whenever iOS moves beyond what iPad1 can do.

Looking at the iPhone and iPod touch, that will happen this year. Web iOS 3.0 came out, the original iPhone couldn't support MMS because the hardware couldn't support it.... Yes it could. Also when iOS 3.0 came out, the 3G didn't get voice control, or video capturing yet the iPhone 3GS could. Jailbreakers have had video capturing and voice control on the 3G and ORIINAL iPhone.

Nope. You don't get it.

Apple wouldn't be increasing their release cycle. They'd be moving their release date over, but they wouldn't do it the next year, where we'd go 1 and a half years waiting for it.

That's the point. And it makes sense.
 
It would be nuts to release a third version 6 months after the second version - these things aren't cheap.

But perhaps they'll have two types simultaneously? Kind of like Amazon did when they released the Kindle 2 and the Kindle DX.
 
Makes sense. Because Apple would rather release a new OS with a new hardware just like they do it with iphone. We all know that ipad 2 will come with iOS 4.x. They can release a new ipad in late fall with iOS 5 and retina display. They could call it iPad HD, and who knows maybe increase the price for the "HD" model. However, fall launch will keep them in sync with new iOS for ipad.
 
Makes no sense to introduce another iPad few months after iPad2.
Apple is selling iPads like water on the desert. Why would they keep refreshing it in such short cycles? Also I much rather them take the time and have kick-ass upgrades than marginal ones.
I hope iPad 2 comes early March. :rolleyes:
 
I don't think Apple is going to be very happy with John Gruber for putting these thoughts out there before iPad 2 has even launched. Look for the inevitable 'I was wrong' post from Gruber in the next day or so. ;)
 
The dude comes out and says he's talking out of his ass, and minutes later everyone is saying it's going to happen. Come on...

This conjecture assumes Apple and Asia have unlimited resources to create and build stuff. Spring/Summer/Fall major product roll outs likely fits well with Apple's R&D (cause people float around from project to project) and the capacity to build and logistic to ship all these devices.

I have the same doubts I'm afraid. The same nagging feeling that Apple has lost its way and the few engineers left at Cupertino who dare speak of OS X and real, hardcore hardware are quickly shooed away into a dusty corner of the basement level they've nicknamed "The Truckstop" where they sit mumbling with the other lost, shunned souls who've refused to bow to the "cult of i".
