关于iPad 3的一切流言蜚语

Everyone's waiting for the iPad 3 to be officially announced, and the rumors are flying like crazy.

每个人都在翘首企盼iPad 3的发布，流言也已甚嚣尘上。

We're expecting a much nicer screen, a killer processor, and a more powerful battery.

我们希望新产品会有更好的屏幕，更快的处理器，还有更强劲的电池。

But the rumors barely end there.

但流言远不止于此。

In order to keep you up to speed, here's everything we know about the upcoming device.

以下是对iPad 3功能外观的所有猜想。

Retina display

视网膜屏幕

The next iPad will reportedly have a much higher-quality display. We've even read that it could be in full HD.

据称下一代iPad将实现更好的显示效果，甚至有消息称会达到全高清显示。

Likelihood: high. One could even argue that retina display is overdue.

可能性：高。视网膜屏早就该在iPad上应用了。

Quad-core processor

四核处理器

Apple gave us a nice improvement in processor speed from iPad 1 to iPad 2 and the rumors are that we can expect a considerable bump with a quad-core iPad 3 processor.

iPad 2的处理器与iPad 1相比有不小的进步，传言说iPad 3将更进一步，配置四核处理器。

Likelihood: high.

可能性：高。

Better battery

更强劲的电池

We've seen reports that the next iPad battery will pack some firepower with more than twice the milliamp-hours of the iPad 2 battery. This could be simply what's required to power a device with a better screen and faster processor.

有报道称，下一代iPad电池容量将是iPad2的两倍。这也不难理解，大容量电池是实现高分辨率屏幕和更快处理器的必要条件。

Likelihood: high.

可能性：高。

Thicker than the iPad 2

比iPad 2更厚

If the iPad 3 comes with all these previously discussed improvements, it'll require a little more breathing room that will make it thicker than the iPad 2. That's not saying too much, however, because the iPad 2 is fantastically thin.

如果前面提到的这些改进都能在iPad 3得以实现，那么它可能会在厚度上做出一点牺牲。因为iPad 2实在是非常轻薄。

Likelihood: high.

可能性：高。

Cheaper iPad 2

iPad 2价格跳水

The speculation is that Apple will seriously knock down the price of the iPad 2 when it introduces the iPad 3. We've seen the company do similar things before with the iPhone. When the 3GS came out, the 3G became much cheaper. When the iPhone 4 came out, the 3GS saw a discount.

人们猜想iPad 3发售时，iPad 2价格会大幅下调。这是苹果公司的一贯做法，iPhone 3GS推出时，iPhone 3G价格下调。iPhone 4上市销售，3GS也会降价销售。

Likelihood: high.

可能性：高。
