The piecemeal drip of purported iPad 3 components continues, with what's tipped to be the third-gen Apple tablet's fascia emerging in shots out of China. If legitimate, the glass front panel confirms that - while Apple may well be considering ditching the physical home button - it's sticking around for this iPad generation, at least; there's also a longer ribbon cable assembly, Apple.pro reports, though since there's no IPS LCD screen it's not corroboration of the so-called Retina Display expected on the slate.

The iPad 3 we know today
There’s a brand new Apple mobile device on the way by the name of iPad 3, and based on the tips, rumors, and leaks that have been sent out thus far tied with features we simply expect will be inevitable, we’ve got what we expect is a pretty accurate picture of what this next generation device will be. The most recent rumor is one that shows the hardware upgrade from the outside in, it including a more tapered design across the back with a same sized display on the front along with a larger camera lens hole. Though this hole might simply mean it’ll have a nicer lens and a slightly modified set of contents, it’s possible that the changes begin with an upgraded camera rating and a sleeker yet more powerful battery.

With the third-gen model expected to break cover officially in early March, there’s no shortage of excitement around what, exactly, will differentiate it from predecessors and rivals. Still, take a step back, and some of the rumored specs arguably present more questions than answers, most obviously the huge improvement in photographic abilities. How will Apple convince us that an 8-megapixel camera is essential?
iPad 3 Apple A5X chipset reportedly leaked
The iPad 3‘s logic board bearing its new Apple A5X processor has leaked, if Chinese tipsters are to be believed, the latest component from the hotly-anticipated third generation tablet to break cover. Although previous speculation had centered on Apple using an A6 chip in the new iPad, the photo shared at forum WeiPhone suggests a more evolutionary rather than revolutionary upgrade is intended.
