Apple iPad vs iPad2 upcoming version (speculations)

1

Update: This was a speculation comparison we added the actual iPad2 version to see which rumors were wrong

NOTE: The rear camera resolution is still unknown


iPad next generation is highly expected

Here are some speculations of the upcoming iPad version presented as a comparison matrix.

Hardware features

  • Front camera probability: 100%
    There is no way it does not include it. First version should already have it. For the resolution, some rumors talked about a poor resolution 0.7MP (1024x768).

  • Rear camera probability: 100%
    As for the front camera, it's very unlikely that the upcoming iPad version does not have a rear camera. The uncertainty remains for the resolution.

  • RAM probability: 100%
    256MB was barely enough so there is no doubt the iPad 2nd generation will have at least 512MB.

  • Dual core processor probability: 50%
    The first iPad generation is running flawlessly with one core, adding some RAM should be enough to make it comfortable. So this will probably be for a later generation.

  • Near Field Communication (NFC) probability: 50%
    iPhone next generation will most likely have NFC, but it might not be as useful on the iPad, so it's not sure Apple will include it.

  • Retina screen resolution probability: 30%
    The iPhone 4 have a beautiful screen, some expects the same pixel density for the new iPad screen. That would mean 2048x1536 pixels; I don't think there will be enough power to support this resolution while keeping the UI fluid as Apple do it.

  • USB Port, SD Card slot probability: 30%
    It's unlikely that Apple start to include this standard port, since that would cut 64GB sales, in case of several capacity versions.

  • Bluetooth 3.0 probability: 30%
    The latest Bluetooth version is not yet popular, there is very few chances Apple will include this technology in it's upcoming iPad
