A Chinese blog, Apple Daily, has released some leaked picture of the iPad 3 before Apple itself planned to give a preview in early March. The unconfirmed but pretty convincing photos of the iPad 3 look similar to the iPad 2. However, Apple Daily claims that iPad 3 will provide you with a quad core Apple A6 processor and a 4G. This is a pretty big leap from iPad 2 with only 3G connectivity and 1 GHz dual core Apple A5 processor.

Apple Daily claims they know that iPad 3 will bring a 9.7 inch Retina Display, which is the same size with iPad 2 but with 2048×1356 resolutions (4 times higher). The case also showed that it has an 8 megapixel camera in the outer corner. This thing is a fact as MacRumors confirmed the Retina Display last week. The case has been improved and the screen resolution is similar with the iPhone 4S.

However, the rumors about this new iPad 3 are still pure rumors. We’ll have to wait until March 7 when Apple announces the new tablet.
