Apple employees are hard at work at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, California. This venue has already been used twice for iPad unveiling events in 2010 and 2011. This year, the same venue has been chosen for unveiling iPad 3 to the anxiously awaiting world.
Workers are busy decorating the venue and making arrangements on the inside, in order to ensure that Apple’s event goes smoothly without any glitches. Even though less than 48 hours remain until the iPad 3 is officially unveiled, the rumor mill just can’t stop. Word on the street is that Apple is working on an enhanced Smart Cover for it’s latest tablet. There’s also word that the company is working on a full glass backed iPhone 5.
A very well connected source reveals that Apple will announce an enhanced iPad 3 Smart Cover at the release event. It must be noted that this particular source has been previously correct about a host of rumors related to Apple products. Last year Apple announced the Smart Covers with iPad 2. These covers are unique in their own way. Not only do they provide protection to the impressive iPad touchscreen, they can also be used as a stand for watching movies, making FaceTime calls or for extensive typing.
At Apple, there is always room for improvement. Every year the company launches new and improved versions of it’s existing products that have captivated their respective markets. So it goes without saying that Apple will also release an improved version of the Smart Cover. The enhanced iPad 3 Smart Cover supposedly has a rear protective shell made out of PU/bicast leather and fiberglass. Keep in mind that the previous Smart Cover had no rear protective shell. Apart from this one major improvement, nothing much will be changed.
Apple is known to follow it’s release cycles. It has done so with the iPad. The iPad 2 was released in March 2011, and the next generation iPad is being released in March 2012 after one full year. Since Apple launched iPhone 4S back in October 2011, many believe that Apple will give up it’s tradition of announcing a new iPhone at the annual summer WWDC conference and will announce iPhone 5 in Fall of 2012. The iPhone 4S already has a glass back, but it has been rumored that Apple is going to use a ceramic material or the unbelievably strong Gorilla Glass to create the back of it’s next iPhone. Such materials would allow the company to make the device thinner, which in turn makes it more desirable.
As always, nothing can be said for sure until the company makes official announcements. The world anxiously awaits release of Apple’s next generation tablet. We’re quite sure that future trends will be easy to predict after the launch of this tablet.
