Rumors: “iPad HD” is Coming this Fall

As Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, declared that 2011 would be the year of iPad 2, the company is planning to release a new version of the said device. The revised iPad would have a much sharper screen, as it uses a 9.7-inch 2048 x 1536 pixel display.

The revised version will be called “iPad HD”. According to sources, the new iPad will have a higher resolution than the recent version. It would also be compatible with some iPad versions of Final Cut Pro or Aperture. While early rumors about the iPad 2 said that it will have a “Retina” display, the device just featured the same 1024 x 768 resolution. But in iPhad HD, the device will have a 2048×1536 resolution.

Apple also started to include pixel-double artwork in iBooks for iPad some time ago, and recently added more 2048 x 1536 pixel artwork in iOS 5 beta. This seems that the future iPad will definitely use this resolution.

However, Apple still did not announce a new iPad after finally shipping the iPad 2 in volume in the recent quarter. More updates on iPad HD are sure to come, so stick it here at GADG.
