Would Apple release a new version of the iPad 3 that would be thinner and lighter?

  When the iPad 3 was initially launched fbut many users complained about the tablet overheating during use. The problem became quite popular, then a lot of publications making comparisons regarding the heat emitted by the iPad 1/2/3 to let users understand how Apple has modified its new product. Although sales were not affected, an Asian publication now claims that Apple intends to launch a new version of the iPad 3 that has a new battery and a slightly modified casing in the area where the tablet's camera is placed.

Apple has made small revisions to its latest iPad recently. The company has enlarged the device's lens hole and is taking further measures to prevent overheating issues, according to supply chain sources.

The sources said the new iPad's battery is being revised, which will help prevent overheating issues and could possibly make the device slightly lighter and thinner than previously designed. However, no comments were offered as to why the lens is being enlarged.

  The changes could also affect the design of the tablet because the new versions that would arrive in stores in the following months could be thinner and lighter than the versions available now on the market. The information comes from an Asian publication without much credibility and I am quite circumspect about these changes. I don't think that Apple will modify the iPad 3 now considering that it has sold many units and such a radical change would represent a recognition of the fact that the initial models have problems and need to be changed.
