苹果确认当地时间3月7日在旧金山发布iPad 3

腾讯科技讯（林靖东）北京时间2月29日消息，据国外媒体报道，苹果公司正式向媒体发布邀请函，将于太平洋时间3月7日上午10点在旧金山芳草地艺术中心（Yerba Buena Center for the Arts）召开下一代iPad的新闻发布会。

邀请函上写道：我们有一些东西你们必须要看一下，摸一下。(We have something you really have to see. And touch.)

从苹果邀请函上提供的图片来看，下一代iPad使用的绝非普通的显示屏，新的显示屏显然具有极高的分辨率。

苹果的邀请函没有透露更多关于下一代iPad的详细信息。

CNBC援引匿名消息人士的话报道，下一代iPad将搭载四核CPU，支持4G LTE功能，并将于3月9日发售。

据国外媒体9to5Mac的著名记者马克戈曼（Mark Gurman）报道，苹果将随iPad 3发布一款升级版Apple TV机顶盒产品，将配备一款新的芯片，能够播放1080p全高清视频。

CNBC: Quad-core iPad 3 with LTE to be unveiled in New York (update: not New York)

The above tweet from CNBC says it all, really. Apparently sources close to the news network have revealed that the iPad 3 will be unveiled in New York rather than the traditional West Coast unveiling of previous products. It's interesting to note that the recent Mountain Lion briefings and Education event were both based in the Big Apple, lending some weight to the claim. Although company expert Jim Dalrymple has already rebutted the broadcaster's claim about the location. The rest? Well, it certainly tallies with the most recent crop of rumors, but when it's Apple-silly season we won't believe anything until we see it.

Update: Here it comes. The official invitations have been sent out by the company to an event in San Francisco on March 7th.

Three iPad 3 versions with no Home button tipped

Three variants of the new iPad 3 could be in the pipeline for a March release, according to sources, but only black WiFi models are tipped if you don’t want 3G/4G connectivity. Product codes leaked to 9 to 5 Mac indicate Apple is readying iPad J1, J2 and J2A versions, with the first believed to be the WiFi-only model and the J2 and J2A including different combinations of GSM, CDMA and LTE connectivity. Meanwhile, SlashGear reader Matthew flagged up that, in Apple’s invite graphic, the physical home button looks to be missing from the slate.

Apple has long been rumored to be deleting the physical home key, and replacing it with either a combination of gestures or a touch sensitive bezel. The image Apple used for its invite – with the tagline “We have something you really had to see. And touch” –  could be a hint that the iPad 3 doesn’t just have a high-resolution “Retina Display” screen but a new use of touch technology as well.

As you can see in Matthew’s graphic above, the angle of Apple’s shot and the spacing between the icons indicates that the tablet is in portrait orientation, thus there should be a home button visible. That’s assuming the tablet isn’t upside down, however.

According to insiders, Apple will only be offering the J1 iPad 3 – the WiFi-only model – in black, though that could be a limitation lifted some time after the launch. The cellularly-enabled models are expected to be offered in both black and white. The leaked part numbers give no indication of internal storage capacity, and it’s possible Apple has bumped the top storage option to 128GB in preparation for owners storing hours of Full HD footage on the slates.


Leaked iPad part numbers:

    MD328LL/A – J1 GOOD B- USA
    MD329LL/A – J1 BETTER B-USA
    MD330LL/A – J1 BEST-B-USA

    MD366LL/A – J2A GOOD A-USA
    MD367LL/A – J2A BETTER A-USA
    MD368LL/A – J2A BEST A-USA

    MD369LL/A – J2A GOOD B-USA
    MD370LL/A – J2A BETTER B-USA
    MD371LL/A – J2A BEST B-USA
