Although the iPad 2 was launched only a few months ago, there are rumors indicating the possible launch of an iPad HD tablet with a Retina Display screen. Those from This is my next have obtained information from sources close to the Apple company indicating that a new version of the iPad tablet will be launched in the fall of this year. The tablet will have a screen with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 and will be called iPad HD precisely because of this resolution. The new tablet would be a "pro" version of the iPad 2 and will be aimed at professionals because it will come with an iOS version of Final Cut Pro and Aperture. Sources indicate that the iPad HD will be for the iPad what the MacBook pro is for the MacBook, that is, a much more powerful product made for a certain category of people.
Our sources are saying that not only will there be a newly designed iPhone coming in the fall, but there is going to be a new entry into the iPad family as well. 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 not to be the iPad 3, rather a complimentary piece of the iPad 2 line. Think MacBook and MacBook Pro.
I for one am of the opinion that Apple will not "shoot itself in the foot" and will not launch a new model of the iPad tablet since it has so many versions available now on the market. There are no less than 12 versions of the iPad 2 on the market now, all of them sell very well, so what would be the point of releasing 12 more versions of the same product? If Apple will launch iPad HD, I think that the product will be available next year and it will actually be iPad 3 with Retina Display screen, probably.
All the people from This is my next claim that the iPhone 5 will really be thinner than the iPhone 4 and that Apple tests the components for the iPhone 5 in the iPhone 4 cases. They say that the idea of the iPhone 4S is wrong because the components in the iPhone 5 are tested in the iPhone 4 and from here the idea was generated that the iPhone 4S will be an iPhone with a design like the iPhone 4 and a few hardware changes. In reality iPhone 5 will be lighter and thinner, at least that's what those who talked to people close to Apple claim.
Simply put, as the iPhone 5 components are built for a smaller and lighter device, they can be easily fit into a casing which for all intents and purposes looks identical to an iPhone 4... and that's exactly what Apple has been doing. Our sources tell us that the company has been testing the new components in old iPhone cases, for obvious reasons.
