Apple iPad 3 to be released in 2012 but with a price hike!

Apple is once again in highlight and this time it is not because of iPhone 5 but iPad 3 which as per report of reliable sources is expected to hit the market by the first quarter in the year 2012 but with a much slimmer design.

Yes, folks! Apple has designed a much slimmer set this time in comparison to iPad 2 as it has ordered for very slim battery to the suppliers Simplo and Dynapack for iPad 3. Well, from this order one could easily make it out that the designing of iPad 3 has been almost completed and t6he production plant in Cupertino must have got all set to begin the production.

According to the estimation, one thing that can be taken for granted is this that the price of the latest upcoming iPad is going to increase as the newly ordered batteries are not cheap. As per Taiwan Economic News, the new cells will cost Apple between 20 and 30% more than the current versions.

The updated iPad 3 batteries are more than an aesthetic or space-saving improvement though. Reports suggest they’ll offer longer life spans between charges and “increased safety,” which is always nice.

As per certain hints and the speculation around, iPad 3 will be all set to hit the market by the first quarter of 2012. However, none of rumors regarding the size and price has been neither confirmed nor denied by Apple.
