What's Different - iPad 3 Leaked Parts Have Been Compared With The iPad 2

The iPad 3 is getting closer and iPad 3 leaked parts have been compared with iPad 2 parts and the findings show a slightly thicker profile, bigger battery, bigger retina display and high resolution camera. 

It is just a matter of weeks before the iPad 3 event if rumors are to be believed and to add fuel to the fire it seems that iPad 3 parts and components have been leaked and if this is correct they reveal some interesting information about the brand new iPad 3 device.

This news came from the folks over at 9to5Mac in the form of a report in which they cite a post over on ilab.cc which is full of photos of some of the iPad 3's leaked components. The back panel suggests that the iPad 3 will be about 10mm thick which is 1mm thicker than the iPad 2 and this is supposedly due to the newer more powerful components such as a larger camera sensor, bigger battery and thicker dual LEB backlit LCD panel. Ilab.cc compared one of the rumored sharp high resolution LDC panels and found that it fits absolutely perfectly with the leaked iPad 3 back plate.

That's not all, the iPad 3's camera hole is different to the iPad 2 design and this suggests that the iPad 3 may just come with a more respectable rear camera too. The results of this iPad 3 component leak study match perfectly with the rumored hardware specifications which are a longer lasting battery, a 2048x1536 9.7” retina display and better camera sensors to match the higher resolution. It isn't clear as yet if there will be a quad core A6 or just a faster more efficient dual core A5.

According to latest reports the iPad 3 is set to be announced in the first week of March at Yerba Buena Centre for the Arts in San Francisco.
