Cult of Mac reports that Apple's iPad 3 with Retina Display will be thinner than iPad 2, contrary to recent rumors.
Few days back, iLounge's Jeremy Horwitz had revealed that he had managed to get access to some leaked iPad 3 parts, which suggested that it will slightly (1mm) thicker than iPad 2.
Also if yesterday's report, which claimed that Sharp has failed to meet Apple's requirement and won't be supplying IGZO LCD panels for iPad 3 is true then expert say that Apple will have to fall back on the design, which uses dual-light bar to support iPad 3's Retina Display that could result in iPad 3 being slightly thicker then iPad 2.
However, Cult of Mac insists that according to their sources it will be thinner:
The forthcoming iPad 3 will be thinner than the iPad 2, Cult of Mac has exclusively learned at the Consumer Electronics Show from a well-placed source.
A major accessory manufacturer already working on iPad 3 cases has told Cult of Mac the upcoming device is measurably more svelte than the iPad 2, despite the fact that the iPad 2 is already Apple’s thinnest profile iOS device.
While we all know how passionate Apple is about making their next generation devices thinner, we don't think it is a big deal if iPad 3 will be a mm thicker if it comes with a gorgeous Retina Display.What do you think? Does it really matter?
