If the name iPhone 4S does not convince you that it is related to a tribute paid by Apple to Steve Jobs, then perhaps the launch of the iPad 3 on February 24, when Steve Jobs would have celebrated his birthday, would give you an idea. that Apple has not forgotten its famous founder. Of course, everything just boils down to now to a rumour which probably originated in the mind of a journalist from Taiwan, but that does not mean that it is not true. Last year the iPad 2 was announced on March 2, a week after Steve Jobs' birthday, so it would not be at all unusual that this year things happen a little faster, all in memory of the legendary CEO.
After the iPhone 4S successfully took the tech market by storm, the iPad3 is widely expected to be Apple's first hit product to be released next year. Industry sources said the first shipment of the iPad3 could exceed 4 million units. Because it is a new gadget, it is taking time for manufacturers in the supply chain to raise their yield rates. The sources said all OEM and ODM makers have exercised great caution in ensuring the smooth operations of their production lines.
Even if the iPad 3 will not be announced then, we can see it presented at an Apple conference in the first part of March. The iPad 3 could have Retina Display, it could be thinner and it could come equipped with a quad-core processor, but for now all these information are mere rumors, so take them with a large dose of pessimism.
