Apple confirms “March of the iPad 3” event.

The Loop reports that Apple announces iPad event for March 7 in San Francisco.

“We have something you really have to see. And touch.”

We received the words back in December 2011 that the next iPad which is expected to carry the name iPad 3 would be coming in March 2012. According on a source who claimed to have a firstname@apple.com email:

  • iPad 3 display has double the horizontal and vertical resolution, but the term “Retina Display” was not even mentioned once.
  • iPad 3 would be compatible with the current Smart Cover.

Key Apple employees are currently in Foxconn China factory, according to various sources.

As usual, we will be aggregating links to sites who would be providing live report from the event.
