Gruber Called It

January 13th, 2012

Bloomberg reports on the iPad 3:

Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s next iPad, expected to go on sale in March, will sport a high-definition screen, run a faster processor and work with next-generation wireless networks, according to three people familiar with the product.

In other words, John Gruber called it back in February 2011, when he wrote that he thinks the iPad 3 will have a double-resolution screen, and he’s said rather definitively since then. Of course, he also said that Apple may release the iPad 3 in Fall 2011, but one thing’s for sure: if you want to know what Apple’s going to do ahead of time, Gruber’s the guy to listen to.

Interesting that they are pushing for LTE support—it could indicate that they are targeting the next iPhone for LTE support, too, which I didn’t expect.

I can’t wait to see what the double-resolution screen looks like in person. Imagine just how beautiful applications can be with so many pixels and such a great screen.
