iPad 3 Design Leaks

Fix-iPhones.com has made a huge release in the iPad 3 release rumor mill. They have reportedly gotten their hands on a back panel for the yet to be released Apple iPad 3. This has been huge to the iPad 3 rumor mill and has created a large buzz around the possible iPad 3 design and features. Repair Labs released a photo of the rumored back of the iPad 3 and compared it to the back of the current iPad 2. There are four main differences between the two which has lead to rumors swirling about the cause of the changes.

iPad 3 vs iPad 2

The first different discovered between the two backs is the mount for the logic board. According to reports the mount appears to be very different and smaller then the current mount used in the iPad 2. This would suggest that there is defiantly going to be a change in the processor in the iPad 3 . The rumored processor is to be the unreleased quad core A6 processor from Apple which has been suggested to be clocked at 1Ghz.

Due to the size reduction in the mount for the logic board this also suggests that there is an increase in battery size. This would make sense as there have been several rumors that there will be an increase in battery size. With an increase in processing power along with a hopeful increase in power consumption from an upgraded display an upgraded battery would be a must. The smaller mount for the logic board gives the impression that the space is there for the iPad 3 to include a much higher capacity battery.

The third change noted between the two back panels is that the camera will be different. Unfortunately there is no telling how it will change other then it will not be the same model used in the iPad 2. This isn’t much of a story as the iPad 3 would have to have an upgrade in the camera department. The iPad 2 camera is hardly usable and is blown away by all the tablet competition that include cameras on their models. Rumors around the iPad 3 suggest that the iPad 3 will include a camera very similar to the recent iPhone 4S which has received praise throughout the community.

The last, and most important, change that was noted is that the mount for the display is different. This suggests that the LCD display will be different for the iPad 3. Now this could mean that Apple has simply moved to a different manufacturer but plans on including the same resolution display. The hope is that the iPad 3 will include a Retina Display which would greatly increase the resolution over the current iPad 2. This has been the biggest sticking point of rumors and the biggest demand from potential customers. Recently it looked as if the iPad 3 was going to include a similar display to the one included with the iPad 2. Apple was then rumored to be releasing another iPad, potentially the iPad 4, at the end of the year. This newest news however suggests that the display on the iPad 3 will be different from the iPad 2 and could be an upgraded panel.

This is exciting news coming from Repair Labs and has brought us hope for the iPad 3 release. We were admittedly worried about another potential lackluster upgrade out of Apple. This release of the iPad 3 back however has brought us hope for some big changes and upgrades, most importantly an upgrade in the iPad 3 display.
