iPad 3 will feature quad-core CPU, LTE-support and Retina Display

Apple’s iPad 3 will feature LTE-support and a quad-core CPU as well as an iPad-sized variant of the company’s market-leading Retina Display, according to reports.

The news comes via Bloomberg, which reports that Apple’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.’

Bloomberg received this information via ‘three people familiar with the product.’

Production in Asia of the iPad 3 is already underway and expected to reach full volumes by February. Bloomberg’s sources, which did not want to be named, confirmed that Apple’s iPad 3 will use a quad core CPU and sport a Retina Display.

The iPad is currently Apple’s second-biggest source of revenue, next to the iPhone. Apple – to date – has sold around 40 million iPads, which translates into around $25.3 billion.

Apple has refused to comment on the story, saying it does not acknowledge rumours.

There is no official release date for the iPad 3 as yet, although we expect to be hearing something very soon – especially if it’s hitting stores in March.
