iPad 3 to feature FaceTime HD camera on the front with an improved back camera with the same $399 price?
Other January 6th, 2012
According to 9to5mac, the next generation iPad is to feature a FaceTime HD camera on the front instead of the VGA cameras with the back to have a lens equally as good as the “iPhone 4S”.
iLounge‘s Jeremy Horwitz claimed that the next generation iPad is to be 1mm thicker to make room for other parts.
Curve radiuses on the body will change only a little to accommodate the added thickness, not dramatically. Think iPad 2 Pro, not a redesign.
Mr. Horwitz sources also claimed that the release date would be around the same time as last year’s iPad 2 which would be around March. The iPad 3 would also stick to the same price tag of $399 and is also rumored to feature a retina display.
Apple Patent suggest plans for iOS Devices to support ThunderBolt!
Other January 6th, 2012
An interesting patent that was published by United States Patent and Trademark Office today (viaPatentlyApple) suggest that Apple might be incorporating ThunderBolt support onto iOS devices.
The addition of a thunderbolt cable would increase the speeds of data transfer and recharging. In order for Apple to pursue such technology, they are going to have to reengineer the thunderbolt tip to be as flat as a USB tip.
Apple already started testing out 30pin connectors back in 2009 when a patent was published via PatentlyApple. The patent also showed the Apple is working on a new hybrid connector to support dual lane DisplayPort technology which is the equivalent to ThunderBolt.
