The New iPad vs. the iPad 3 Rumors (What Was True and What Wasn't) Part Two

The first part of this article tackled the widespread rumors on the iPad 3‘s display, screen size and name which were false for most of the part, except for the Retina display. In this article we‘re giving you a few more rumors that were circulating the web until the day before Apple‘s Special Event held in Los Angeles. PC Magazine published a roundup of the rumors that spilled about the next generation iPad when the invites from Apple Inc. came out. Here are a few more forecasts about the New iPad that are either true or false!


The Price







A few days before February ended people went crazy trying to find out where to sell iPad original and iPad 2 used units. This is because some rumors reported that the iPad 3 would be priced at the same rate as the iPad 2 and that the iPad 2 will probably be getting price cuts soon. There were also rumors of a pricier iPad 3 when Mac Rumors reported on a circulating photo that showed a pricing sheet that stated the iPad 3 16GB Wi-Fi 3G would be priced at $699 while the Wi-Fi only model indicated a $499 price which meant a $70 to $80 hike. Apparently, these rumors are true and false (respectively). While it is not true that the new iPad will be pricier, the reports about the new iPad landing the $499 pricing scale was true and it is also true that Apple cut about $100 on the iPad 2 pricing which is now available for $399.


The Processor and the LTE Technology







One of the epic rumors about the iPad 3 that pushed a lot of techie geeks to search for where to sell iPad original units was the purported A6 quad-core chip that would run the new iPad. This is apparently false, although it was partly true too. The processor chip isn‘t the A6 (rumor has it that A6 will be in iPhone 5 instead), it‘s the A5X. It has a quad-core graphics processor that is said to be 4x faster than NVIDIA and twice or three times faster than the previous A5 processor. There were also rumors of a 4G LTE Technology for the new iPad, and it turns out to be true! Finally, Apple has decided to upgrade the iPad‘s connectivity for faster web browsing! The bad news? There is a faster connection, but still no flash player.


The Camera







Everyone was sure about this; that Apple would put in a camera that would be better than iPad 2 because this was one of the major problems for the iPad 2. Rumors about an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 5 megapixel front camera spread around the web. Unfortunately, this is false. But Apple did heed the consumer‘s request to upgrade the camera by putting in a 5 megapixel rear end camera in place of the HD camera. They call it the iSight that has sensor backside illumination, white balance and face detection. For the video recording, Apple topped it with an HD capacity by packing in 1080p to make it more in sync with the new Apple TV product. The front camera meanwhile is still on VGA quality, which we‘re not sure is a good idea for FaceTime. Still, Apple did a good job of upgrading the things that matter. The market release is set for March 16th so mark your calendars, people!
