*** The Official iPad (Early 2012) Thread ***

Is it possible to keep the Apple vs. everything else stuff to other threads? It's painfully repetitive and the same old arguements get wheeled out every time a new Apple product is on the horizon.

This one is about the iPad 3, personally if the retina display is on there I want it!

The amount of trolling the android crew do whenever apple release a new product is something your going to have to get used to if the 4s thread is anything to go by.

But back on topic, wonder if MS are planning to announce iPad Office after the iPad 3 is announced? its finished for a while according to 'sources' so whats the delay?

And thats the problem with these little wars on here, people assume its all very black and white. Your either android or apple and that notion in itself is silly. As someone that has an android phone, an ipad, a macbook pro I see myself as a very strong android lover but I still appreciate the tech apple churns out, though I would never agree with the short sighted ness that the majority of so called apple fan boys churn out. But anyway not sure what point I'm trying to make here , I guess everyone needs to chill out its a piece if tech that will be insignificant in the grand scheme of life so stop arguing! And argue about something more worthwhile

This!
 
If its larger in size then my ipad2 dock isnt going to fit, plus my Marware case wont neither...so we will also have to factor into the price cost of additional accessories and the possible wait for them to come onstream....
Im hoping then that that Speck bring out a revised PixelSkin HDWrap with a proper magnet on it this time....
 
Rumours rumours rumours made up for page hits!

No point speculating until Apple tell us about it. Look what happened with the 'iPhone 5', how its was going to be curved, have NFC and all kinds of things according to 'a source close to the matter' or 'someone in the know'.

Amazing how some people latch on to certain things and treat it as gospel. The rumours in the past have been largely wrong.
 
Why wouldn't they increase the price?
They don't have credible competition yet and people are buying them as fast as they can make them.

Also, I can't imagine the high res display is easy to mass produce.
 
What I never get is how Apple keep things so secret.

There's 100s of workers at Foxconn building these things from scratch right.. they know what they are putting in them surely :s? Obviously it's a rumour if they say anything but still.

Also when the iPhones/iPads get released stock is limited.. I've been fairly lucky with my iPad 1 and 4S when reserving one online, but people struggle buying them months after release still. Anyone reckon some of its tactical or they honestly can't keep up with demand (which there is a lot of!)

I'm counting down the days.. miss my iPad 1 =(
 
37 million iPhone 4S's and 15 million iPad 2's sold in 3 months- that is some serious product output.

Apple could delay the launch until they had stock piled enough units to meet initial demand but that would be totally pointless.

I would imagine that in general, the right people are paid enough to keep quiet, that will be the people over-seeing production, the distribution and all the retailers and such that they have to deal with.

With Foxconn, I think we have to remember that it's Chinese Labor and hasn't been without it's controversies. For one thing, I would imagine that while they have hundreds of people working, but they are likely working in different stations on different parts, so the number of people who know what the full finished product looks like and what it contains might be limited.

Without a doubt there is a very strict no disclosure policy in place, which likely means you will be fired, but potentially they would be sued as well.

While Apple generates a huge buzz with so many blogs and tech sites devoted to it, there are few that would cough up serious money for an informant to leak the details. You are looking at print Newspapers for that kind of scoop, but then it would be all over the web straight away, so does the paper stand to gain much from paying for the info. Further to that, the information would have been gained illegally and could put them in trouble and they might not even be able to publish it.

So unless you got a serious offer of cash, there is little desire for the people working there to really give up anything, as they have too much at stake.

That's just my thoughts anyway.
 
Went into the airport dixons tax free and noticed they had taken £50 off the price on all their ipad 2's. If the price looks like going up £50 on each model like for like in comparison I will probably just take advantage of the ipad 2 pricing probably being more useful to me than a higher res screen.
 
Getting a bit impatient now, I have money burning a hole in my pocket. I check online everyday for news and rumours like that might make the days move faster and despite the fact I know better than to listen to the Apple rumour mill... I just can't help it though. My inner geek needs some new tech! :o

If there isn't an announcement on March 7th... well, that doesn't even bear thinking about :p
 
Shame about the rumours with the price hike... I wouldn't mind if it was a little price increase but £70 is quite a bit... I guess we'll see soon enough...
 
Have we had an announcement from apple themselves that there's an event happening in march?

The reported 7th of March event is 1 week tomorrow. I read earlier today that if that is actually true and it happens. Invites go out this week. So we should know for sure in a day or 2.

However, nothing is confirmed yet.
