Although the displays on the iPad and iPad 2 are pretty darned nice, TUAW readers and bloggers alike have wished for a Retina display-like screen on our magic tablets. Now a tipster at TechUnwrapped has pointed out that several images found in Newsstand — an iOS 5 feature — and the Twitter framework are suggesting a possible higher-resolution display for an upcoming iPad 3.
The screen resolution on existing iPads is 768 x 1024 pixels, and in previous versions of the iOS SDK screen backgrounds and other images were sized accordingly. The tipster has found evidence of images at twice the size — 1536 x 2048 pixels — suggesting that the next generation of iPad might include a display with that resolution.
What do you think, TUAW readers? Will the iPad 3 come with double the resolution? Let us know in the comments.
