iLab is reporting that the leaked iPad 3 LCD, back plate, and dock connector cable fit together.
We assembled the back plate of iPad2 and iPad3(?) into the LCD panel by Sharp Corporation which we've got the other day. The points which the arrows indicate just the right size as screw holes. Now, it became clear that the LCD panel made by SHARP was designed for this back panel.
They also note that the screw holes on the dock connector and back plate align together.
According to the site, the back plate is slightly thicker; less than 1mm, and equal-sized length and breadth.
This would suggest that Apple at least had Retina Display prototypes built using the Sharp LCD. The company is expected to announce its next generation tablet in the first week of March.
Just because it looks the same doesn't mean the upgrades are minor, after all the leaked parts suggest thicker casing in which can be something major internally...how else would you like an iPad looks anyways? It's perfect the way it is now. Add the Retina Display, Quad Core chip and even longer battery life then it's golden.
I was trying to say Kingsford was dumb for that 2S comment. but i replayed to the wrong person lol n guys Im a guy too. also i love apple they can do know wrong in my book. I also have the $ for two Fordkings! N what i mean by 2S being dumb is the name, cuz a Retina Display is enough to call it a iPad 3! feel me on that?
