What the iPad 3 Looks Like
redletterdave writes "If you were expecting a radically different-looking tablet from the iPad 2, prepare for a minor letdown. In the same way Apple upgraded the iPhone 4 into the iPhone 4S, the exterior of the iPad 3 mirrors that of the iPad 2, despite completely renovated and upgraded innards. iLab Factory reportedly provided Sharp with the necessary parts to build the high-resolution iPad 3 display, and in a company blog post, various iPad 3 components are displayed alongside those of the iPad 2 for quick comparison. In addition to a new camera mount that will reportedly match or improve upon the 8-megapixel camera system in the iPhone 4S, the post also revealed that the iPad 3 will be approximately 1 mm thicker than its predecessor to house Apple's upgraded components, including a bigger battery, an improved camera, and a dual-LED lit system to make the 2048 x 1536 display even brighter."

"MY OPINION BROSEPH"
I don't get it... There are x dozen tablet makers out there (Samsung/Android most notably), but each time the tiniest detail about iPhone/iPad "N" is leaked, there is a big bruhaha and Apple gets huuuuuge attention. Apple is overrated and - very often - overpriced. Who cares what iPad 3/4/5 "look like"? Its same-old-same-old from Apple, with a new processor+camera+screen thrown in. Big fucking deal! Apple products, to my mind, are aimed at people who have plenty of money but very little technical knowledge or buying sense. Let the sheeple throw their money at the new iPad 3. Personally, I will be waiting to see what novelties Samsung & Others bring to market.
Why did the chicken cross the road? Because Elon Musk put an AI chip in its head.
You forgot the best part of owning an iDevice, looking like a douche carrying it around
