Citi: iPad 3 appear in February according to the date of the birth of Steve Jobs
We continue with the round of rumors around the iPad 3. As we mentioned yesterday, will be a general trend between now and when the tablet is present because we may be talking about a few months of waiting until you are with us, at least I think analyst Richard Gardner from Citi financial firm.
Estimates of this man, based on reports it has been drawn from the industry sector, is that the iPad 3 is presented in February, just a month after the filing of the original iPad and one month before he did the iPad 2. Interestingly, as they say that AllThingsDigital on 24 month marks 57 years of the birth of Steve Jobs and it would be unreasonable to think of Apple’s homage to its founder with a special event this Friday.
On specifications Citi tells us little; just think the apple tablet will have a screen resolution significantly higher than the current (up to double). This data corroborates many other forecasts in the same direction, but then to be seen whether met or not.
Indeed, the analyst has also left us other interesting beads. For example, based on his meetings with Apple suppliers in Taiwan, estimates that Apple has raised the request for iPhones this quarter, what the figure would exceed 30 million smartphones orders to the East. It seems that the Cupertino company is feeling overwhelmed with the reception of the iPhone 4S.
But not only the iPhone 4S is the king of the smartphone purchases; according to Digitimes the iPhone 3GS for example the number will reach 2 million units produced this quarter last year. An excellent figure if we consider that it is a model with more than two years. The iPhone 4 would turn the 800,000 units, note that it is the intermediate model thus loses out on customer choice.
Apple seems that things are going very well, and if the ultimate iPad 3 shows in February, I am convinced it will be a tablet with as much success as did the iPhone 4 with Retina Display when it appeared.
