Such uncharacteristic step for Apple - update release for the new product during the year - a source of pre-history explains the appearance of iPad 3G. The company originally planned to use the new tablet technology owned by Sharp IGZO, able to reduce the power consumption of the LCD. But to the scheduled start of the Sharp sales failed to deliver the required volume of components, and Apple went to a forced compromise: a marker of a new building iPad, than its predecessor.
At present, 60-70% of panels produced for the iPad Samsung. The rest is released LG Display and Sharp. After Sharp received investment from Foxconn, the share of Japanese companies in total sales volume displays will increase to 50%. As a result, the manufacturer will be able to provide sufficient supplies, and Apple will return to the original plan.
It should be noted that after entering the market of the new iPad, its predecessor, iPad 2, remained in the ranks, and Apple sold at a discounted price of $ 399. However, the company updated the tablet , in particular, has used an improved chip A5, created on 32-nanometer process technology. The new iPad 2 was run on 15.8% longer than when surfing the Internet, by 29% when playing graphically intensive games, and 18% when watching videos.
It is assumed that the new third-generation iPad will get a more sophisticated silhouette, enhanced Retina-IGZO display and increased battery life.
