Apple has yet to confirm an event for the iPad 3, but iMore isn't the only site confirming the March 7 date. Jim Dalrymple of The Loop confirmed with a simple "Yep," when asked about the rumor.
The Verge reported the quad-core A6 chip might end up being a dual-core A6 chip, citing source close to the matter. Either way, it will be an upgrade. The iPad 2 uses a dual-core A5 chip, so the hardware will still get an upgrade.
Buzz over the pending launch of Apple's next tablet device is peaking - that's for sure. This week, unconfirmed photos of iPad shells have been reported on sites like 9to5Mac, MacRumors and Repair Labs.
