And the case-leaks have started right on schedule. In this latest rumor, here’s a supposed new case for the iPad 3.

- You can see here that the mounts for the logic board are very different, which means the logic board shape will be different allowing for . . . .
- More battery. The width of where the logic board sits on the iPad 2 appears much larger than that of the i.Pad 3. We have long heard that the iPad 3 was going to provide longer battery life, and this back housing seems to support that.
- The camera is different. It is hard to make a judgment just by looking at the casing, but what we can expect is a different camera on the iPad 3 than what we had on the 2.
- LCD will be different than what we have had before. Whether or not it will be the super screen we have seen reported will have to wait. But the different mounting does mean that the LCD has been redesigned at the very least.
Some rumors are saying the iPad 3 might be thicker to make room for LTE, retina display and a bigger battery, while some say it’s the same thickness as the iPad 2. The Verge is saying it will be powered by Apple’s A6 chipset but wont be quad cored as previously rumored, but will have a more powerful GPU. Apple might not think a quad core is needed right now, considering their devices are often slightly underpowered compared to rival Android devices, but still perform better in benchmarks thanks to the tight optimization between software and hardware.
