If you've bought an iPad 2 in the last few months and you feel shaky every time there is talk of the release of a revised version before the end of the year, breathe easy. There are many rumors that in the last two weeks have delayed the launch of the iPad 3, that edition that would come to incorporate a screen with a spectacular resolution in the iPad 2 that would exceed the rates that we know today as FullHD.
Today, through DigiTimes, they repeat themselves in this line. On this occasion, they assure from the online medium, Apple would be going through serious difficulties when it comes to making the screen work correctly, being forced to look for new suppliers that guarantee the agility that the Japanese Sharp (responsible for the supply of the panel that is expected that we saw on the iPad 3) could not have supplied the Cupertino.
In DigiTimes mention is made of a couple of problems that Sharp has not completely solved. To begin with, the panels require a light output that they have not reached, so the real results are far from what is expected in the next edition of the tablet.
The needs demanded by Apple in the design of the terminal would also have been an insurmountable obstacle in the development of screens that, for the moment, would not have been able to achieve the thinness required by the multinational from Palo Alto.
According to data handled by the aforementioned online publication, Apple would have reserved internal evaluations that, to begin with, contemplated the launch of the iPad 3 in the second half of the year, a period in which they expected to market between six and eight million units of that edition between the third and fourth quarter of 2011.
Now, the concern of Apple passes seek a new provider that meets the requirements set by the company. In the spotlight are the Korean LG Display (responsible for the IPS Retina panel of the iPhone 4) and, oh cruel fate , the South Korean Samsung, with which Apple itself has a fierce legal fight.
