Apple will reportedly ship a Retina Display iPad 3 in March and then an iPad 4 'with killer applications' in October, according to a DigiTimes report.
The site's predictions for the iPad 3 are in line with general expectations.
The iPad 3 will come with a QXGA (1,536x2,048 pixels) display and longer battery life although its other hardware specifications may not be so amazing as expected, said the sources. But Apple will take the advantage of the iPad 3 launch to slash the price of its iPad 2 to US$399, the sources claimed.
According to Taiwan component makers Apple is also planning to ship an iPad 4 in October, around the time Microsoft releases Windows 8.
The 9.7-inch iPad 4 is expected to come with much upgraded hardware specifications and integrated applications so as to compete with an array of Android-, Wintel- or WoA (Windows on ARM)-based tablet PCs to be released in the fourth quarter, said the sources.
In the past there were rumors of multiple iPad releases in one year; however, those never materialized. It's unclear if the these two models are the mid-range and high-end versions that the site had previously predicted.
