Excitement for the iPad 3 has now started to build at a greater rate since we are approaching the usual release window for the device, and recent rumors suggest it’s on the way. There has been a huge amount of speculation regarding the third-generation iPad but none more so than the graphics because of what it will mean to certain gamers, although we should not overlook the display.
While we consider the graphics an important element to win over the gamers you also need a decent display as well, and we have reason to believe that the display for the new model could have four times the amount of pixels as the current version. Having already mentioned the fact that the iPad 3 could come with a Retina display (as used on the iPhone 4/4S) it’s hard to imagine what kind of impact this would have on how a game would look like, but we know 2012 is going to be a big year for gaming on mobile devices and it looks as though the ipad 3 could be at the forefront.
In December of last year a few photos were leaked of what looked like a Retina display for an upcoming iPad and it was clear to see there were three ribbon cables and not two, which could mean there would be a need for more data to be carried from the hardware to the display. Latest rumors suggest if this were the case then we could expect the iPad 3 to come with a resolution of 2048 x 1536, which is compared to 1024-by-768 for the current model.
There will be those who would say this display upgrade would be an overkill becasue of the extra cost the consumer would have to pay, but the price will more than likely be the same and as for the bump in quality just remember when Apple increased the display from the iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 4, this will be what it will be like for the iPad 2 to the iPad 3.
The jury is still out on whether Apple’s next tablet will come with a Retina display, but when Apple is asking app developers to send in their screenshots at a higher resolution it’s hard not to think this will be the case. This can only mean one thing; developers might have to start ramping up their graphics when they develop apps, which means gamers could start to finally embrace the iPad.
It’s still hard to imagine a hardcore gamer embracing the iPad 3, yes it may come with improved graphics but the price is always going to be the issue something which we recently discussed, having said that some gamers have been considering selling their Xbox 360 or PS3 because they would much rather a more powerful mobile gaming solution.
There will be some arguments from the Android faithful who will say the display on the iPad 3 will be similar to the likes of the Motorola Xoom 2, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 or the Sony Tablet S but all these have a resolution of 1280 x 800, nothing like the rumored 2048 x 1536 of Apple’s next tablet.
What aspect of the iPad 3 will persuade you to consider mobile gaming?
