iPad 3 - supply chain chatter hotting up

Rumours of an early 2012 launch for the iPad 3 are hotting up, as suppliers claim to have begun shipping parts and components for the next generation iPad.

The word comes from Digitimes, of course, the site that's plugged in to the Asian supply chain like nobody's business.
Foxconn, Apple's major manufacturing partner, is also said to be starting production on the iPad 3 in January with the serious quantities ramping up in February and expected to meet the heady heights of 9.5 to 9.8 million units over the course of Q1 2012.

The iPad 3 could follow hot on the heels of the iPad 2

The Apple iPad 2 has been out since spring 2011. So now it's time to move the rumour factory onto the iPad 3.

We've gathered together details on its possible specifications including chips, cameras and retina displays - with a little bit of help from mysterious, unnamed people who can't possibly be identified.

So what's the word on the street about the next iPad?

We've put together a video wishlist of the features we'd like to see in the next iPad.

Apple iPad 3 release date

On 1 July, Digitimes reported that Taiwanese-based component suppliers were gearing up for production of the iPad 3. In October 2011 it was later reported that production would certainly start before the end of the year.

However, during August, a rumour broke that Apple was set to delay the launch of the iPad 3, due to a shortage of retina displays from its suppliers LG and Samsung - more on the display shortly.

Digitimes reported in late November 2011 that panel makers had already started shipping panels for the new iPad 3 - a million in October and two million in November.

Interestingly, in November 2011, Digitimes suggested that the spring's new iPad would, in fact, be a revised iPad 2, with a brand new iPad design due later in 2012.

Foxconn, Apple's major manufacturing partner, is also said to be starting production on the iPad 3 in January. Digitimes says the new model is expected to meet the heady heights of 9.5 to 9.8 million units over the course of Q1 2012.

The iPad 3 release date looks set for Spring 2012, with Citi analyst Richard Gardner even predicting it could be as early as February.

The Apple iPad 3 UK release date is a mystery

With Apple unable to meet initial demand for the iPad 2, we'd expect a staggered release date for the iPad 3 too: Apple will most likely follow the pattern it has with the previous two iPad launches and have a US release first, followed by a UK release days later.

According to the Korea Times in November 2011, the A6 processors are to be manufactured by Samsung, despite the companies' ongoing patent battles.

The Apple iPad 3 specs include a dual-core processor...

It's possible that the iPad 3 will have a brand spanking new processor, Apple's A6 - which will surely be a quad-core ARM-based processor. Quad-core designs are imminent from all ARM partners.

iPad 3 Release Date & Features – Sizzling Rumors

Apple’s iPad is holding over 80% of the market share of the US tablet market. Not only in the US but across the world, people have gone crazy to have the new iPad 2.

Although being the best tablet ever, Apple’s followers are still looking for an even greater iPad 3 and eagerly exploring the Internet for “iPad 3 release date.” Nowadays, numerous rumors about iPad 3 are being spread in the market; of course it is about iPad 3 release date and features.

Update (20th August 2011) : Is iPad 3 release date set for early 2012 with retina display? Here is detailed report from The Wall Street Journal.

Update (16th August 2011) : Has Apple cancelled iPad 3 supply orders for 2011? Find more in details.

Update (1st July 2011) : Apple is planning to gear up iPad 2 shipments for the third quarter of this year. Does this mean we are not going to see iPad 3 this year? Find out more.

Update (2nd June 2011) : According to DigiTimes, iPad 3 release date should be scheduled to somewhere in 2012. However, Apple has already started certifying process of components for the iPad 3. Here is you will detailed update on iPad 3 release date.

Various sources predict that the iPad 3 release date would be scheduled somewhere in September 2011.

The Apple employee said, “They’ve had a number of problems along the way, and the third-generation iPad is the one to make a song and dance about.“

John Gruber, an Apple watcher, is supporting the statement by adding that the iPad 3 release date will be in September. He also stated in his blog, “Summer feels like a long time away. If my theory is right, they’re not only going to be months behind the iPad 2, but if they slip until late summer, they might bump up against the release of the iPad 3. And they didn’t only announce this with a distant ship date; they did it with no word on pricing.”

On other hand Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs says 2011 is the year of the iPad 2.

The Apple iPad 2 is getting such a huge response that Apple is unable to meet the demand. Let us assume that iPad 3 will release in September 2011 in US. However, the UK buyer will get a chance to see iPad 3 after a month or two.

iPad 3 Features Expectation

• Retina Display: People were expecting a retina display with the iPad 2; but the iPad disappointed them with the same display of the previous iPad. Now followers are waiting for an iPad 3 with a retina display. There is a rumor that the iPad 3 may offer a resolution of 2048×1536 pixels.
• SD Card Slot: People are expecting a revolution in Apple iPad 3 with an SD card slot. Hopefully Apple may introduce SD card slot with the third generation iPad.
• Improved HDMI: Yes iPad 2 also supports HDMI playback but you need to have Apple digital AV adapter, and that comes at an additional cost of $39. So it is much expected from iPad 3 to have an HDMI port that eliminates additional requirement of the HDMI cable.
• Camera Flash: A camera with flash is a much-waited feature of the iPad; people were expecting iPad 2 to have camera flash; now we would be wondering if iPad 3 will have camera with flash.
• Thunderbolt: The iPad 3 may have a Thunderbolt port. That will offer power, video and data connectivity using the same connector at lightning speed.
• Wireless Synchronize: People are expecting iPad 3 to offer wireless sync of content rather than the traditional wired connectivity.

Apple iPhone 5 Release Date 7 September 2011?

http://bit.ly/NewAppleiPhone5 Apple iPhone 5 Release Date might be most buzzing topic among tech geeks. Each day is rising with a new rumor or a speculative guess about iPhone 5 launch date. CNET UK, a top internet review site for electronics, has grabbed attention of the techies posting update on iPhone 5 release date.
http://bit.ly/NewAppleiPhone5
According to CNET UK, iPhone 5 release date is likely to be September 7th 2011. We guess this is the first exact date prediction about launch of the next generation iPhone.

What is the reason behind releasing iPhone 5 in September?

Apple recently announced iOS 5 at WWDC 2011 which is packed with new cool features, including Android's drop-down menu style notification. iOS 5 will be released in the autumn, more specifically in September. Furthermore,

Apple brings new generation iPods and iPod Touches in September. However, according to CNET UK, iPods are not enough glamorous to bring iOS 5 into the world. iOS 5 and iPhone 5 both will be the perfect platforms for each other.

That is the reason why we are expecting to see iPhone 5 release with iOS 5, in the autumn. We already assumed that Apple doesn't want to release iPhone 5 until iOS 5 is completely ready which is somewhat similar to CNET UK's prediction. Here is what we predicted.
http://bit.ly/NewAppleiPhone5

Why CNET UK has assumed Wednesday 7 September 2011 as the iPhone 5 launch date? Since 2005, Apple has been launching iPods in September on the first Wednesday after Labor Day. There were some exceptions in the past, though the Wednesday has proven Apple's a regular favorite day.

Apple stores sell out of 3G iPads in Australia

SOME Apple stores had last night sold out of 3G versions of the iPad, with staff telling customers they did not know when new stock would arrive.

Apple's flagship Sydney store in George Street had hundreds of the iPads with WiFi connectivity but none of the versions that are WiFi and 3G enabled.

The Bondi Junction store, in Sydney's eastern suburbs, had sold out of the 16GB and 32GB iPads with 3G and could only offer the most expensive 64GB version, at $1049, but said stock was fast disappearing.
With the WiFi iPad, users can connect to the internet via wireless networks but the dual WiFi and 3G enabled
 iPad - like a mobile phone - can also be used on cellular networks.

The 3G versions cost about $170 more than the iPads with WiFi connectivity only.
Apple declined to provide sales figures last night.
Steve Bardel, the managing director of independent Apple reseller My Mac, which has three stores in Sydney and Melbourne, sold out of the 3G versions on Saturday and expected the WiFi models to be snapped up by tomorrow.

There was bigger demand than anticipated and I really don't know when we will have more stock," Mr Bardel said.

"It has been the biggest couple of days we have had as a company and we have put on more staff and we probably could have used twice as many. Our Melbourne shop probably did one-third of its monthly turnover in one day."

Mr Bardel sold close to 1000 iPads in just two days with customers returning to stock up on accessories, such as carry cases, keyboards and camera connection kits.
The Australian's iPad application was yesterday the most popular local news app in the iTunes store and the third most popular paid app.

For $4.99 a month, iPad subscribers can read The Australian, including real-time news updates. New sections as well as photo galleries and video will be gradually rolled out.
The iPad has spawned an industry of parasite products, with users rushing to purchase custom-made cases.
