iPad R - Why has noone suggested this name?

[SammyDFG]

The next iPad will probably not be called iPad 3. It does not have a new form factor, or enough changes to warrant it.

It will also not likely be called iPad HD, because HD signifies a 720p or 1080p screen, which the new iPad will blow away in terms of resolution. Also, HD has already been used heavily by app developers, PC and mobile manufacturers - it has been used to death and most consumers don't even understand the term. However it makes more sense than iPad 3.

But.. what if they just called the next iPad: iPad Retina. Or just iPad R.

What do you think?

Because it's retarded.

How about....

iPad...its better than yours. lol

Unless you are expecting Apple to throw in a electric powered wheel in the bottom and Tim Cook, Scott Forestall, and Johnny Ive to play a live game of Mario Kart I think you are going to be wrong.

 

[Aksta]

No...just no

 

[Nautilus007]

Because this isn't what the next iPad will be called

 

[Grover16]

That sounds like a car name.

Be honest, you're just trying to compete with WardC right?

 

[rdowns]

Ridiculous.

iPad R would be ridiculed as meaning "iPad Retard" or it might be mistaken for an "R" rated movie. My guess is the new iPad will have more than the Retina display and the "R" would be short of Apple's total improvements.

Hey, look! You were right! Accusation of "future claim chowder" withdrawn. My apologies.

iPad XXX would make more sense as it would be awesome for porn.
