No Retina Display for iPad 3?

Experts are reporting that Retina Display won’t happen at the release of the iPad 3. Rumors continue to come in from all sides about the display the iPad 3 will feature.

iPad 3 Retina display We here at iPad 3 Release, along with the rest of the internet, have been reporting the rumors about a possible Retina Display for the iPad 3. Reports had the new display possibly even being five to six times the resolution of the iPad 2. DisplayMate however says that these rumors simply can’t be true.

Of course every iPad fan out there wants the anticipated iPad 3 to be released with a Retina Display. Apple has also built a lot into marketing this display technology. It however just won’t be possible at this time for the iPad 3. According to DisplayMate a true Retina Display would require a significant increase in processing power and battery power. An addition of the Retina Display would mean the end of the 10 hour battery life that the two current iPads have. A feature that hopefully Apple doesn’t forget about.

DisplayMate however determined that the Retina Display effect could be achieved without an actual Retina Display. By determining the average viewing distance of the iPad the required pixels per inch was calculated. According to DisplayMate an iPad would only need 240 pixels per inch to produce a Retina Display effect. This is much lower then the 300 pixels per inch that the iPhone 4 has.

Obviously Apple must consider these factors when determining the type of display for the iPad 3. Battery life must be a key concern for Apple, being a key feature of the usability of the iPad. Apple is almost sure to improve the display on the iPad 3, however the five to six resolution increase doesn’t seem likely. One day I’m sure we will see it, however currently the technology is just not there.

    With all the competition coming …. apple better introduce the retina display for the IPAD3.
    That will be a VERY POSITIVE SELLING point otherwise they will certainly start to lose market share. Me for one am willing to pay more if necessary for the screen quality – Jobbs was a man whose vision of quality among other things has brought the company to what it is today -

    Will his successor continue the path … or let APPLE down the drain?? Time will tell.

    So APPLE … you cannot rest on your laurels …. competition is certainly catching up. SAMSUNG,HTC among others are very serious contenders….
