4G-enabled Apple iPad 3 launching in Q4 2011

Apple’s iPad 3 will reportedly be launching in Q4 2011, according to a Hong Kong-based research company.

The tech world may be busy speculating about tonight’s WWDC keynote, but CLSA is claiming that the Apple iPad 3 will launch ahead of the holidays this year. According to the research fim, it’ll arrive touting a Retina Display – one thing that was sadly omitted on Apple’s iPad 2 – alongside an all-new “4G LTE radio”.



The firm states: “While most vendors appear fixated on matching the specs and features of iPad 2, our checks suggest Apple will release iPad 3 in time for the holiday season, sporting a better display and LTE capabilities.”

It’s not all good news, however. CLSA’s research suggests that Apple has no intention of releasing a 4G-enabled iPhone device in the near future, so we’re likely to be kept waiting until the iPhone 6.

If previous rumours are anything to go by, Apple‘s next-gen iPad could also arrive sporting a three-dimensional screen. That’s according to a “Hollywood insider”, which last month claimed that a naked-eye 3D display is a “dead cert” for the iPad 3. Or maybe even the iPad 3D.
