iPad 3 Rumors Won't Affect Sales of iPad 2 This Holiday

People are talking about iPad 3 which is rumored to be released in February or March of next year. But will this affect the sales of iPad 2 this holiday season? I bet not.

The rumor about the alleged release of iPad 3 originated from the technology website “Digitimes” on Monday is threatening the holiday sales of the tech giant.

A similar incident that happened before could also happen now. Fortune Magazine’s Philip Elmer-Dewitt pointed out that what happened to the sales of iPhone 4 last summer could happen to iPad2 this holiday season. When rumors about the release of iPhone 5 peaked last July, sales of iPhone 4 took the downward spiral since customers waited for the fresh version of the gadget.

The same thing could happen to the iPad 2 this holiday season since rumors about the release of iPad 3 on the first to second quarter of 2012 are now circulating the net.

According to the Digitimes report, the iPad 3 is expected to be a major upgrade over previous models, with twice as much screen resolution, a faster processor, and an updated version of the sensational Siri.

According to speculations, some interesting characteristics of the upcoming new version of the iPad will be “transparent” and “rimless.” Watch the video HERE.
