As I'd said previously the general "feel" I'd got from hundereds of individual postings and articles gave me a very strong impression that, excuse the phrase, "Retina Display" was very strongly expected by the general Apple Interested Public for the next model, next spring.
I'm quite taken aback by postings in their thread so far, apparently now giving the impression that it's not going to happen for iPad3.
I believe more potential owners would be disappointed if the next gen did not have 4G LTE, more ram or faster processor(s).
Again, it's a matter of economy more than technological feasibility. I just don't believe that it's going to be possible to do it at Apple's current price points. And I don't believe Apple wants to raise those price points.
I don't understand what's supposed to be wrong with the iPad display now? I read on it just fine.
As this thread seems to be, so far giving the impression that we won't be getting a better display for iPad3.
Despite all the past talk in various threads about people saying they are looking forward to a higher screen resolution for the next model.
I've put up a simple poll.
Not for what you WANT, as of course, we all want the very best, but what you think actually will happen in reality for iPad3
It will be interesting to see how many people think we are actually going to get the better screen, and those who think, actually it's not going to happen on the next model and we're still going to be on the same screen res going into 2013.
a higher res display is pretty low on my list of things that i'd like to see in the ipad3.
among a list of things, i'd rather see them make enhance the connection port to make it easier to connect other devices such as USB thumbdrives to make data transfer easier. just supporting SD cards is woefully inadequate.
the current display is more than adequate for my needs.
I don't understand what's supposed to be wrong with the iPad display now? I read on it just fine.
Could we please stop calling it a Retina Display and I don't care if the iPad 3 will not have one.
haven't the new screens used a significantly different size and form factor? Has anyone seen a 2k res screen in the Ipad size and ff?
You mean this...
Yep and according to Samsung it requires 40% less power to run.
40% less than what? A similarly high-res standard LCD display of the same size? Displays currently in use? Does that consider the processing power necessary to run it or just the power to illuminate the thing?
It doesn't say, but I'm assuming they are referring to their current tablet displays.
