With the whole tech world restless with anticipation ahead of the upcoming iPad 3, expected to be announced on March 7th,?it appears Apple is confident the third generation iPad will comfortably break all previous sales records.
According to ChinaTimes (via 9to5Mac), Apple ordered 65 million 264PPI 'Retina Displays' from Samsung and LG, that is 63% more high resolution screens than Apple required a year ago, when the iPad 2 was released.
Both suppliers have already started mass production. It is unclear at this point, if the third manufacturer rumored to be involved in iPad 3 panel production, namely Sharp (who did not come in for a mention from ChinaTimes), might also deliver an additional volume of Retina Displays to be sent to Apple's supply chain for iPad 3 assembly.
When hearing such figures, one has to wonder how Apple plans to impress ever more customers, with the previous iPad already having managed to conquer the tablet market. The latest report reveals that Apple sold 15.4 million iPad 2 in the holiday quarter alone.
China is certainly a market where the iPad has huge potential for further growth, but a trademark battle with Chinese company Proview Technology over the 'iPad' name could be a big setback.
