There is no official word from Apple as to the iPad 3 release date. However, rumor mills indicate that the iPad 3 will be launched sometime around March 2012. Reports also state the trial production is very likely to start around December 2011 – January 2012. One of the primary reasons as to why the launch of the iPad 3 device has been delayed is due to the delays in the implementation of the Retina Display technology. It is also rumored that the iPad 3 could be delayed because of ongoing legal issues with one of Apple’s main suppliers, Samsung.
All of these statements, till date, happen to be mere rumors and speculations. In order to find out just how much actual truth is there in these claims, we have no option other than to wait for an official communication to be issued from the Apple headquarters, by calling for a press conference.
