The Apple rumor mill is in overdrive this week, but the latest seems to be one of the most concrete reports yet on the upcoming iteration of the iPad. MacRumors has published an article that claims they’ve gotten their hands on an iPad 3 display and have tested it to the best of their ability. The above picture is a comparison of the lit pixels on an iPad 2 and this supposed iPad 3 screen (at the same magnification), which clearly shows 16 pixels in a 4×4 arrangement in the same footprint as 4 pixels in a 2×2 arrangement. Logic would follow that the length and width of the screen have thus doubled, which corroborates previous rumors of a 2048×1536 display.
While there’s no guarantee that the tested display is in fact produced for an iPad 3, sound measurements and photographic evidence seem much more solid than reports from “anonymous tipsters”.
