So. Umm.. Where's the cute chick at ?
Writing the quotes in the teardown.. Seems like something she'd do.
I find it interesting that at least the first production wave will feature only Samsung displays, and that LG and Sharp will eventually jump into the mix once their quality control issues are rectified.
Sort of makes you think the first wave will certainly have great displays, and we'll get into a "panel lottery" once LG and Sharp jump in and users start comparing their display to others.

Why couldnt MR just post a link to the article? They've got to know that people will find it, so just link to it instead of pissing people off
The link didn't exist when we first posted the story.

There's two reasons it weighs more which I think are relatively secure to state:
1/ The LTE radio
2/ The bigger battery required in order to support LTE
and a third possibility -- that Retina Display screen sure sucks power, I'm guessing.
You have to love someone who can write a line like this:
"As we lift the LCD, we hear the cries of 3,145,728 pixels being removed from their homes inside the iPad 3."

I wish I was going to australia to get the iPad. More for the Australia reason, I went there this time last year and it was awesome. An iPad 3 would just make it better.

I was thinking the same thing since it was the opposite last time around with the iPad 2. Samsung had to jump in after LG was having low yields and quality issues. I'm certainly happy to be getting a Samsung display.
Are the commentaries by iFixit really necessary?
Examples: "Connectors and screws, connectors and screws, to secure a logic board, that's what you use!"
"Ha! Sneaky, sneaky, iPad. Let go of your logic board."
How about just sticking to writing the teardown without the extra garbage, half of the damn teardown is the above quotes.
Ha! Don't be such a Buzz Killington
I particularly liked, "It appears that 4G LTE on the iPad 3 does not actually work while upside-down", regarding no compatibility w/Aussie 4G.
Wouldn't you?
Think about it... The first ones to post a tear down = a LOT of hits, presumable well enough to cover the cost of the trip and you get to go to Australia.
It's a win-win
Is there a difference between the retina displays of Samsung, LG, and Sharp that are used for the iPad?
