iPad 2 Announcement Not Far Away Following iPad Shortages and Price Drops

April 25, 2013 By Leave a Comment

iPad 2 Release date close following shortages and price drops

If history is any indicator then an iPad 2 announcements and release should not be too far away. With most apple product refreshes in the past there has been product shortages, similar to what is being seen at present with the iPad, so most pendants are saying expect an announcement around March 2011.

So what new features & specs are rumoured to be found in the iPad 2? Most industry analysists are predicting the following features and specifications:

  • Dual cameras forward & rear facing Camera/webcam (5-8 mega pixels)
  • Facetime
  • Increased Performance
  • Improved Battery for extra performance but same battery life
  • Light Peak (USB replacement)
  • Micro SD Card Slot
  • Thinner & Lighter
  • Higher display resolution
  • Bluetooth 3.0
  • Multi carrier chipset supporting CDMA / GSM / UTMS / 4G LTE allowing compatibility with a large number of cell phone carriers

In our opinion the Light Peak feature is a bit of a long shot and if anything we won’t see it until the release of the iPad 3.

March is not far away so we can only wait and see I am hoping all of the above options are included.

AllThingsDigital is reporting that Apple are expected to hold a media event on 2 March for the launch of the iPad, the site also says the event will be held in San Francisco.

This same site also suggests that the event is likely to b held at the Yerba Buena Center for the arts.

Even though AllThingsDigital are expecting the iPad 2 to be launch on 2 March it is highly likely that this date could be for the new MacBook Pro which industry have suggested may be launched on 24 February. Both dates are only days away so we will find out soon in due course.

Other reports out this morning have suggested the release date for the iPad 2 has been pushed back two months; however this has also been debunked by industry gurus and the mostly likely release date will be sooner rather than later both due to iPad shortages as well as a recent iPad price drop.
