Apple
invited members of the media to a special event on March 7 at 10 a.m. Pacific.
Could it be iPad 3?
You
may want to sit down, because we’re going to talk about the iPad—and sitting is
really the most comfortable way to use it, isn’t it? Apple on Tuesday invited
members of the media to a special event on March 7 at 10 a.m. Pacific.
“We
have something you really have to see. And touch.” reads the invitation,
received by Macworld, which also shows a finger tapping on the Calendar icon on
an iPad screen.
The
event will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco,
which has hosted numerous Apple events in the past few years—including the
unveiling of both the original iPad and the iPad 2. That, and the invitation’s
image, would seem to guarantee that we’ll see an updated iPad at the event.
As
for what such an updated iPad will contain, rumors are fierce, but the leading
theory is that Apple’s tablet will receive a Retina display, doubling the
resolution over the previous models. Additional speculation suggests that a new
iPad—presumably the iPad 3—will also see updated cameras, and possibly a new
processor in the form of Apple’s A6.
One
thing that has been kept firmly under wraps, however, is any software
improvements that might accompany a new iPad. Siri seems like a potential
candidate for inclusion in the updated tablet, which would make it the first
device besides the iPhone 4S to feature Apple’s virtual assistant, but the
technology would also likely require improvements to the iPad’s microphones and
sound-processing hardware.
Whatever
Apple announces, Macworld will be on hand with live coverage of the event, so
be sure and tune in next Wednesday for our full rundown on the latest
developments.
