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.
