Is this an iPad 3 in the wild? This morning, BGR published photos of an alleged iPad prototype obtained by a source.
The information in the images was taken from iBoot, a development and debug tool. If the pictures are indeed of the next-gen iPad, they show the tablet will have an A6 processor with model number S5L8945X. BGR says as a point of reference, the Apple A4 model was S5L8930X and the A5 is S5L8940X. The new processor looks like a quad-core one, “making the upcoming iPad 3 the fastest iOS device ever, we have been told,” BGR wrote.
The website pointed out two model numbers: J1 and J2. BGR says there aren’t two different devices, but instead one iPad in two versions: one with Wi-Fi-only connectivity and the other with 4G LTE compatibility with international carriers. The rest of BGR’s screenshots are below. These details are in line with our previous report, which mentioned a faster processor, 4G connectivity and an HD screen.
