Word on the street has it that Apple has been busy certifying components for their next iPad. LED backlight units from the manufacturer Radiant Opto-Electronics were specifically mentioned as having landed certification. Sources have also more or less dismissed the rumors that Apple was shopping for AMOLED displays by Samsung, claiming that Apple will instead stick to their 9.7-inch display made by Taiwan-based Chimei Innolux. They expect the iPad 3 to be shipping in 2012, which seems about right, further dismissing the rumors that perhaps we might be seeing an iPad 3 towards the later part of the year.
Nothing revolutionary at the moment, just some talks that Apple is getting ready to get the iPad 3 in production. No mention on whether we will be seeing a Retina-like display on the iPad 3 or if the rear cameras will be improved upon. Either way hang tight as we’ll keep track of this
