Apple is currently working with its component suppliers for the iPad 3 to go under trial production starting in October. According to sources the company has started to order components such as display panels, and chips for the imminent early 2012 release date.
Even though a lot of people have been hoping for another refresh later this year, it appears those rumors may have started to fizzle out. Apple’s extremely popular iPad and other devices are without a doubt worth waiting for and hard to compete with. In the last few days you may be aware of HP throwing in the towel on their HP TouchPad that was just recently launched.
The TouchPad experienced price cuts, sales promotions and finally just realized that they cannot compete with Apple after selling a mere 10% of their stock that went to retail giant Best Buy. HP isn’t the only company experiencing tough sales however when it comes to Apple’s commanding market share for tablets. The iPad 3 will be nothing short of success either, even though some people went out and purchased the (Liquidation) $99 TouchPad.

iPad 3 Display at 9.7 inches

The iPad 3 is expected to receive some serious upgrades including a vivid high resolution screen at 2048 x 1536, and according to some suppliers some of these components have already made their way for initial prototypes. Also reported was the fact that the screens would remain at 9.7 inches.
Apple’s supply chain is very hard to compete with because not only can they produce high quality products, they can do so with a very comfortable bottom line. Other companies find it extremely hard to compete and much of it should be attributed to Apple’s supply chain, commitment to quality and the loyal fans.
One component supplier in particular commented saying that “Apple has already placed orders for parts for about 1.5 million iPad 3 ‘s in the fourth quarter.”
