Will the iPad 2 get a companion this fall?(Credit:Apple)
Apple is planning to launch a new iPad "at the end of the third quarter or early in the fourth quarter," DigiTimes is reporting.
Apple will reportedly call the new device theiPad 2 Plus, DigiTimes says, citing anonymous sources. For now, details on the updated device are slim, but the publication says it could be thinner than the iPad 2, and come with an improved display.
Recent rumors have also suggested that the updatedtablet will feature a high-quality screen. Last week, This is my next reported that Apple's upcoming tablet release, which it says will be called the "iPad HD," could feature a 2,048x1,536 resolution display. The publication reported that the iPad HD would be sold alongside the current iPad 2.
"The idea behind the product is apparently that it will be a 'pro' device aimed at a higher-end market--folks who work in video and photo production possibly--and will be introduced alongside something like an iPad version of Final Cut or Aperture," This is my next reported at the time.
DigiTimes' claim that the new iPad might also feature a thinner body is somewhat surprising. When Apple launched the iPad 2 earlier this year, the company touted how thin its tablet is. According to Apple, its latest iPad is just 0.34-inches thick. Whether or not Apple could make its next iPad even thinner remains to be seen.
Either way, as with all other Apple rumors, be sure to take this latest report with a grain of salt: Apple has so far made no indication that it's launching another iPad later this year.
Apple did not immediately respond to request for comment.
