Leak shows iPad 3 with quad-core processor and LTE connectivity?
There has been a lot of talk that suggests that the next-generation iPad, better known as the iPad 3, would feature Apple’s new A6 quad-core processor alongside LTE connectivity. Thanks to a spyshot (pictured above), a quad-core LTE capable iPad 3 could very well turn out to be true. The screenshot is courtesy of BGR (more screenshots available over there) who received it from a tipster. It basically shows a screenshot from a development tool called iBoot which provides information on a device’s internal specifications.
What led most to conclude that this is the iPad 3 were its code names – J1 and J2, both of which were previously referenced in the iOS code and were thought to refer to Apple’s next-generation iPad. J1 and J2 refer to different models, with the J1 referring to the WiFi-only model, while the J2 model seems to boast both WiFi and GSM/CDMA/LTE connectivity options that should make the iPad 3 compatible with carriers all over the world.
As much as we’d like to believe that the next-gen iPad will be a quad-core beast with LTE connectivity, Apple has proven over and over again that rumors and purported leaks tend not to come true when it comes to the official revealing, so we’d suggest you take this piece of news with a grain of salt for now, at least until the iPad 3 has been revealed which is expected to be some time in March/April 2012.
Now here’s an iPhone 6S case that will certainly turn heads, especially when you take into consideration its name which is known as the OnePlus iPhone 6S case. That’s rather weird, don’t you think so? It will certainly take some getting used to before the name rolls off your tongue naturally. Well, we do know that The OnePlus iPhone 6S case can now be purchased for $19.99 a pop, and no, you do not need any kind of invite before you can snag one for yourself.
Each purchase will also be accompanied by an invitation to purchase a OnePlus X, just in case, you know, you would like to tread the Android waters. All in all, it comes in the kind of material as found on the OnePlus One and OnePlus X, which makes it a whole lot harder to lose grip of when you hold it – which is good!
If you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries
With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.
It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.
Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
