Plans to release the iPad 3 in the fall
appear to have been shelved as Apple deals with issues relating to its
Retina display technology. The launch of a high-resolution iPad 3 in
2012 is now thought likely.
It seems that rumors of a fall release for the iPad 3 can finally be laid to rest.
Taiwan-based DigiTimes reported
late Monday that the iPad 3′s supply schedule for the second half of
2011 has been canceled by Apple. A supply volume of 1.5 to 2 million
units for the third quarter and 5 to 6 million units for the fourth
quarter had been planned.
It seems that the delay is related to issues concerning the
introduction of an improved screen resolution, what Cupertino-based
Apple call the Retina display. The high resolution screen was first seen
with the release of the iPhone 4 in 2010.
The DigiTimes report says: "The sources believe that the yield rate

Just to be clear: this does not purport to be anything like the
iPhone 5. In fact, it almost certainly isn't. But I can still hope in my
secret heart that we'll be seeing an iPhone like this someday, right?
The only feature showcased in this CGI mockup—again, in no way
claiming to be based on actual future Apple products—by Aatma Studio
here that may actually show up in the next iPhone is the full-width
display, although that razor-thinness is tantalizing, too. But wait, no,
it's not about that. Comparing this to any real idea of the iPhone 5 is
like comparing your dream of Abraham Lincoln to an actual photograph of
Abraham Lincoln and being reminded that Real Lincoln's beard is shorter
and his hat is crookeder and he doesn't shoot justice lasers from his
eyeballs.
So let's enjoy this concept, not compare it against an upcomin
