iPad 3 Unlikely to Come This Year?
- Thread starter MacRumors

all these rumors are so sick! why should apple release two ipads in one year? that does not make any sense at all. next ipad will probably be the same like the current anyway, they'll add more memory, a faster chip and a better camera and that's it. and maybe they'll also release a third color like silver or pink. but that's it!
i don't want to hear all those rumors anymore if they are so silly. i think the blogs should not pick up every stupid rumor and blow it out of proportion.

The camera's do honestly suck. And the lack of Retina display is disappointing.
Of course!
That's why when 3 is released everyone will be holding off for the iPad4!
Random Internet source says sun will rise in the west, so thousands of websites report that random source says sun will rise in the west.
Then when some other random source tells you that's probably not the case, same thousands of websites report what you already damn well knew because you had a compass and a pair of eyes.
Seriously, I know they're rumors, but why don't things that fit into the "This seems way out of left field and it would take a lot of confirmation to believe it's true" category get some flashing neon sign that indicates as such? That's why I'm highly skeptical of these iPhone 5 rumors. It smells just like the "iPad 3 in fall 2011" rumors from a couple of months ago.

Sigh,
Can we get some MAC rumors this is absolutely ridiculous, the mac mini and iMac are over due for updates and you still prune the web for the smallest hint about a product that has just been re-released.
I realize your trying to generate traffic but this is getting increasingly low.
The front page is filled with iOS information and a little on FCP and the new Adobe suite.
Where are the MAC rumors.

I truly agree. I especially hate all the rumors concerning the iPad 3, whatever that is...
Let's hear about the iMac and Mac mini now, please.

i cant see any good reason why apple must launch iPad twice in a year. This just doesnt make any sense at all.
it's sad that these websites give credence to this ridiculous rumor and that anyone over 10 believes it's even remotely possible or sensible.
that would be like apple releasing the iphone 5 and iphone 6 in the same year.
what's wrong with these idiots?

Not sure you could have been any more contradictory with those two statements. Your statement proves the truth in their latest iPad commercial. Can't believe how many people fixate on the underlying technology, insisting that the iPad is inferior to other hardware, at the same time that they overlook, or sometimes even admit (such as you have done here) that the overall experience of the "inferior" iPad is better.
Until Motorola, or Samsung, or anyone else brings a product to market that offers a superior user experience, please refrain from criticizing the iPad for what it isn't. Especially since what it isn't doesn't even exist yet. It's one thing to compete with your competitors, but not really fair when you have to compete with your own (rumored) R&D.

Seems like a slow rumor time all the way around.... but I'm sure there will be tons of good ones soon as the WDC heats up. I would think with Lion coming, WDC could bring us some new Macs too.

iPad 3 predictions:
Lighter due to carbon fiber body
Same thinness
Higher resolution
Home button stays right where it is
Better cameras
NFC for TAKING payments (iPhone5 will make those payments)

Gruber specifically explains that any confirmed info is in his actual posts.
Any guesses or unconfirmed news is in his footnotes.
People make a lot of guesses and this was a good guess I believe.
OK, I'll be the first one to confess that I believed this rumor. It just seems that a fall release date makes more sense for a product like this, both because people are going back to school and, especially, the holiday season. My guess is the fact that new releases of the iPad are coming out a few months into the new year might be a damper on holiday sales of the iPad.
So yes, I could see Apple trying somehow to get the iPad onto an early fall release schedule.

There are currently 5 million ipad 3's in Apple's warehouse.
Retina display, 3D, 128GB, white and yes Verizon will have it too.
They are holding these back to make sure people will stand in line again and to get some much needed press releases for the holiday season.
Nobody is talking about Apple any more. They are going downhill fast with their closed architecture.
Who would have thought that the Xoom could have had such an impact.
I don't have any proof, but just sayin' .............
This would actually be welcome news for me if it's true. I just bought the iPad 2 and can't really afford to upgrade again until next year! 
Apple rumormongering has gotten to a ridiculous level.
This was NEVER going to happen. The entire basis for the story was simply John Gruber's SPECULATION that it MIGHT be better for Apple to release the iPad on a September schedule.
That makes no sense either. iPad demand is already front loaded to the point that it's hard to buy one for the first month or two. How much worse would it be if it came out during the holiday season?
At this point any post that starts with "Apple may X" can at that point be ignored as best case baseless, worst caes deliberate link-bait. Sure enough it'll be followed some time later by "Apple won't X" for another round of pageviews.

I don't think the iPad 2 was a "half-upgrade". The iPad 2 was completely redesigned, much much slimmer, a lot lighter, two cameras, much faster... I don't think an update soon, this fall, would be so important. This is a full update and I expect the iPad to have a regular release cycle of about a year.
The old Macrumors mind trick....
