Latest unconfirmed rumor surrounding next-gen iPad
Apple's next-generation iPad continues to be the focus of new rumors, the latest of which suggests the device may be ready to ship by the end of March. The information, which was posted on 9to5Mac, clearly fits among other unconfirmed and uncorroborated details, though the timing would mimic the launch schedule for the original iPad.
Other sources point to a March 2 unveiling at a special event expected to be held at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco. Rumored specs include a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor, improved graphics capabilities, and dual cameras for FaceTime video calls.
Apple has yet to officially confirm any details surrounding an iPad refresh. Separate reports provide conflicting information for a ship date, with one source claiming a delay until June while others point to an early April time-frame.
