iPad 3 to have amazing screen!

[robbie12345]

hahaha epic fail does know one even understand why they WONT do this at least until iPad 4? just think people what is one thing TONS of people love to do on their iPads???????


PLAY GAMES!!!!!

so that resolution is almost equivalent to 1440p which the iMac with 6970m with 2gb which i have barely runs any high res games like that

so think about it they would need to put a 6970 into an iPad for them to even run

but they can't do anything except dedicated gnu and even if the a6 has 3x better graphics they are upping the resolution x4 and then the games will require more ram and i don't see apple putting more then 1gb of ram into the iPad 3

so in other words the games would be 100% unplayable not too mention who would want a 17 inch mbp with 1920x1200 when you can get a much higher res display on a smaller device

How did iPhone handle the retina display so well?

you're confusing pixel density with screen resolution.

...Remember! You heard it here first!

We've heard similar things before you posted them.

People who need a full laptop will choose a MPB regardless of its lower resolution. People who can get by with an iPad, aren't going to be concerned about the specific resolution, all they care about is that the new screen looks fantastic. Higher res on a computer screen is beneficial in different ways than higher res on an iPad is.

In this context, you are.

On the iPhone 4, the GPU has to push 460,800 pixels. Whether those pixels are on a 3.5" screen or a 7" screen is irrelevant, the GPU still has to push them.

em games for computers and games for mobile devices are a hole lot different you know. Just because a high resolution doesn't mean games will be unplayable, its not like you are playing battlefield 3 (comp version) on an iPad. The games in the app store have crap graphics compared to computer games. Games from over 6 years ago have better graphics than the iPad games. The mobile device games will never catch up to the quality of computer games, yes to old ones but not anytime soon.
Yes the GPU needs to be very powerful to run the games well (on a retina iPad) but due to the low graphics requirements you don't need mobile GPU's not even the low end ones.

From Daring Fireball's John Gruber:

Samsung’s loss is Sharp’s gain. As for the iPad 3, it’s double-resolution 2048 × 1536 or bust.

Currently it's the second post down.

That article is about 3/4 months old.

It is accurate with todays rumours about a retina Ipad. I'd be wary as we heard the Iphone 4S had a 4" screen and it only had 3.5". If all goes to plan it does look like a retina Ipad 3 with Ipod touch and Iphone getting a 4" screen.

Um, this is John Gruber we're talking about. Ever heard of him?

Honest question: Is an amazing screen enough to make you upgrade from an iPad 2?.

Absolutely. You ever seen an iPhone 4 side-by-side with a 3GS? That's how this new iPad would look compared to the iPad 2 (if the rumors are true, of course). It's a massive upgrade for a device that practically is a screen.

Why would a game have to run at the full native res? Video and games tend to upscale well. Most XBox 360 games for example render at less than 720p and are then upscaled for output. Most 720p TVs aren't exactly 1280x720 so they also do a small amount of scaling.

Most games running at 1024x768 upscaled to 2048x1536 would probably look just as good as they did on the iPad 2.

Game rendering is MUCH more complex than most people tend to realise, and 4x more pixels doesn't necessarily mean the game has to actually draw 4x more pixels. Even if it runs at full resolution. You really don't need 4x more GPU power to render 4x more pixels!

An extremely (and quite unrealistically) simple example: say you're making infinity blade 2 for it. You want the graphics to run at full resolution. First you render your 3d models and texture them. You need to do this at 4x the resolution. Next, you render lighting and shadows. This part doesn't really have much detail, so you don't need full res. You probably don't even need 1024x768. No change here. Next you draw those nice light beams. Again, you don't need more resolution, so no increase. Then you do your post-process stuff, light blooms and whatever. No need for full res here either.

We have 4 rendering stages there, and in 3 of them you're not doing any more work. If the rendering time for all of them were equal (which it never is), the GPU would need to be just 75% faster to deliver the same speed at 4x the resolution. That should be attainable in the A6

The new iPad will have a 2,048 by 1,536 screen! That's more pixels than my 21.5" iMac but crammed into a 9.7" screen!

I can tell its going to be amazing... an iPad to clear out all Android competition

Remember! You heard it here first!

That's clearly not true because you didn't put the word FACT at the end of your post.

Everyone knows that to make something true, that's all you have to do. But you didn't do it, so you must be making it up.

FACT.

The iPad 7 will not have a screen, instead a better voiced Siri will just do a neuro-cerebral download and you'll just "know."

And it will be "revolutionary" and "intuitive" and "things will just work".
