A year after the release of the iPad 2, Apple is reported to be announcing the iPad 3 at a scheduled event in March.
Sources say the company has chosen the first week in March to debut the successor to the iPad 2, and will do so at one of its trademark special events. The event will be held in San Francisco, presumably at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Apple’s preferred location for big announcements like these. No word yet on a street date for the iPad 3 (assuming that’s what it’s called), though my guess is retail availability will follow roughly the same schedule as that of the iPad 2: Available for purchase a week or so after the event.
As much as we’d like to not believe it, we all know this is most likely true, as it follows Apple’s trademark pattern of releasing product successors within a year or two of its counterpart.
Even if this rumor is a bust, we can be certain that the iPad 3 release date will be announced soon.
