A recent report by Cult of Mac shows leaked images straight from the inside of the Apple iPad 3 supply chain.  Upon investigation, the images show that the internals of the new refresh has significant changes when compared to both the first generation and second generation tablet.

Amongst the leaked images, is the rear case for the iPad 3 which is not yet branded with the new name; but further suggests that little has been done to modify the aesthetics and exterior of the device.  With that said, do you feel that the overall design of the iPad is perfect anyway, and Apple shouldn’t fix something that isn’t broken?

A new report on the iPad 3 over at BGR shows how they have been supplied with and uncovered what appear to be legitimate images leaking details of the processor and other classified specs.  An inside source has alleged that they have an iPad 3 prototype in their possession and through the use of iBoot, have uncovered two models of the new tablet as well as a conclusion that this tablet is going to be a multi-taskers dream.

iBoot is a tool used by developers and is able to look at strings of code.  As we reported in the past, the code references the J1 and the J2, or the iPad 3,1 and the iPad 3,2.  One of the greatest discoveries is that one of the two versions of the Apple iPad 3 will likely support 4G LTE.  Further icing to the cake shows that

The Apple iPad recently celebrated its second birthday, and shortly the (3rd gen) iPad 3 will be in the hands of all those eagerly awaiting its unveiling and subsequent release.

The iPad 3 could be seeing a quad-core A5 processor rather than the A6 if analysts are to be believed. With the recent unveiling of iBooks 2 and specifically iBooks textbooks for the Apple iPad, onlookers saw a more intuitive full-screen, rich media experience that involved interaction, graphs, and animations not to mention the rest that comes with this news.

After testing the iBooks 2 Textbook application on the iPad and iPad 2, developers are claiming that the iPad was a bit slow and sluggish, while the iPad 2 seemed to run it fine. Increased interactions and animations could prove to be a challenge for the iPad 2 as well however. This is where analysts believe the iPad 3 is going to need a more powerful processor, the upgraded A5 (A6 first seen in the iPhone 5?). to support the increased load, especially if it’s going to launch with the high resolution display everyone is counting on.
