According to This Is My Next, sources are saying that, along with the thinner, lighter iPhone 5, there will be an updated iPad 2 with a Retina-grade display come this Australian spring.
As hard as it might be to believe, the new tablet is said to sport a double resolution screen (2048 x 1536), and will be dubbed the “iPad HD.” The idea behind the product is apparently that it will be a “pro” device aimed at a higher end market – folks who work in video and photo production possibly – and will be introduced alongside something like an iPad version of Final Cut or Aperture. This product is specifically said to not be the iPad 3, rather a complimentary piece of the iPad 2 line. Think MacBook and MacBook Pro.
This doesn’t seem too far off, considering that 300dpi tablet displays in general are nearly ready for the consumer market. But will Apple reveal these new products at once? Or stagger them out over multiple events? Do we even care? Probably. [This Is My Next]
