According to a Monday report on the iMore website, the much-rumored and highly-anticipated next-generation iPad – the iPad 3, as it is referred to in the Web reports – will likely be unveiled on Wednesday, March 7, at a special event.
Citing “sources who have been reliable in the past,” the iMore report revealed that the new, forthcoming version of the iPad will boast a Retina Display with a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution and will run a quad-cord processor. The new iPad will also “possibly” be capable of “4G LTE networking.”
Despite the fact that iMore’s reported Retina Display, the quad-core CPU and the 4G functionality of the iPad 3 fall quite in line with similar speculations in the past, the website’s report of the ‘March 7’ launch date of the iPad 3 is first one mentioning a specific date for the device’s release.
Apple, however, is yet to make an official disclosure about the launch date of the eagerly-awaited new version of its popular iPad.
The iMore report also further substantiates the last week report from AllThingsD that the iPad 3 will be released in the “first week of March” – and will hit the markets "a week or so after the event" -, and a ‘March 7’ launch becomes all the more the likely given Apple’s last year precedence of debuting the iPad 2 on a Wednesday!
