Pictures of the iPad 2 screen have leaked on to the Internet. What we see is a comparison between the iPad and the iPad 2 display. The new one is thinner by about 1mm and also has a slimmer bezel which should help shrink the iPad 2 down a little in size.

Some investigations have revealed that the screen will still have the 1024×768 resolution and not be retina as originally rumored. This is thanks to the model number found on a sticker with the reference number LP097x02 SLN1. Each of those sets of digits has a meaning such as it being created by LG Phillips, 097 refers to it being a 9.7 inch screen, SL means H-IPS and N1 is unknown at the moment. The 02 refers to the resolution. [Read more…]

Some digging around the latest SDK from Apple has revealed that the iPad 2 might get a camera similar, if not the same, as the current generation iPod touch. This means it will be somewhere in the region of 0.7 to 1 Megapixels. This is referring to the camera on the back of the iPad. As for the iPad camera on the front, expect it to be of VGA quality.

The information in the SDK was listed under the name of K94 which 9to5Mac have been told is a codename for the iPad 2. [Read more…]

Another new iPad 2 case has been found at a Chinese accessory supplier. This particular case is different from the other iPad 2 case we saw a few months back in that it has different set of cutouts which give away a few things.

The new case indicates that an SD card slot is being added to the next gen iPad. Also, indications of a DisplayPort jack are also seen on the top of the case. [Read more…]

A lot of questions have been asked about what screen resolution the iPad 2 will have. Some suggested a Retina Display whilst others pointed out a Retina Display pixel density would put the resolution at 2560×1440 AKA, the same as a 27 inch iMac.

Thanks to some investigations done by StroughtonSmith, some images were found that were labeled [email protected]. Just before the launch of the iPhone 4, similar images were found that were called [email protected] which ended up resulting in a screen with a 2x resolution (on both edges).

This leads a number of people to thinking that the next gen iPad, AKA iPad 2, will have a 2048×1536 resolution. Although this might not technically be a “Retina Display” as it doesn’t quite hit the 300PPI mark, it does get close at 260PPI. [Read more…]

Engadget managed to get some interesting info on the upcoming iPad 2 and iPhone 5. The details indicate that a shift to Qualcomm chipsets will be used. This shift will also be done on the next generation Apple TV from what we understand.

The new iPad will feature a dual GSM / CDMA chipset produced by Qualcomm and will mark Apple’s shift away from Infineon as its chipset maker to Qualcomm for all of its mobile devices. It’s not clear if the chipset being used will be based on the company’s EV-DO / HSPA Gobi variety or an entirely new design. Presumably, the strength of the new dual-mode chipset is that it will allow both Verizon and AT&T to offer the iPad simultaneously.

Since the launch of iOS 4.3 beta 1 a couple of days ago, a number of people have been snooping around the SDK and files to see what is available. A lot of hints can be found in the SDK that reveal what’s coming soon so to speak.

The next item to be found is a couple of shutter screens that are seen on all iOS devices with a camera. The difference with these screenshots is the size of them. Both the portrait and landscape versions have an image size of 1024 x 768 pixels which is the same size as the current iPad display. You might note here that this could indicate that the iPad 2 might not get a higher pixel density screen, or Apple might have just put these in as test images which in time, will be replaced with the actual resolution for the iPad 2 (which is still unknown).
