<\/p>\nWednesday, March 7 is the date covetous Apple fans can finally catch their first real glimpse at the much-ballyhooed iPad 3, according to a new report.<\/p>\n
Citing reliable sources, iMore editor-in-chief Rene Ritchie declared that we can expect Apple to unveil its newest tablet on the first Wednesday in March. The day aligns with past Apple media events, and the date matches the early March timing AllThingsD reported last week.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlong with the 2048\u00d71536 Retina display, the iPad 3 will feature a quad-core Apple 6 system-on-a-chip, and possibly 4G LTE networking,\u201d Ritchie said.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve suspected for some time that the iPad 3, should it be called that, will feature a faster processor, faster graphics, and a retina display.<\/p>\n
Perhaps more interesting is that Apple will once again (coincidentally?) reveal its latest touch-based machination just days ahead of South-By-Southwest Interactive, the annual Austin gathering of industry insiders and wannabes.<\/p>\n
Last year, the beloved device maker lifted the veil on the iPad 2 a week prior to the geeky affair and started selling the device during the show. News and online buzz surrounding the remake of Apple\u2019s category-defining device easily eclipsed that of the conference, and out-shined launching startups, keynote addresses, lavish parties, and so forth. One year later, Apple could easily do the same \u2014 should it choose to release the iPad 3 during SXSW Interactive again. The launch date, however, is still unknown.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But now that the big reveal is less than one month away, maybe we can all happily sit back and wait for Apple to show off the new device instead of continuing to speculate about features. Fat chance. The run-up to the long-awaited event is sure to make for intensified gossip and maybe, if we\u2019re really lucky, a few early leaks.<\/p>\n
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
