What’s that Digitimes? One stupid Apple rumour per day isn’t enough for you and you want to post another?

From the laughably titled Real iPad 3 reportedly to launch in 3Q12:

Apple’s new generation iPad will enter mass production soon with the launch set for March 2012, according to sources from the upstream supply chain; however, the sources revealed that internally Apple does not view the new iPad product as iPad 3, but rather an upgraded iPad 2 and the real iPad 3 will not be launched until the third quarter of 2012 at the earliest.

Remember when the iPad 2 showed up in March 2011, and then the iPad 3 showed up in September? No? That’s because it didn’t fucking happen! And I predict the same will be the case next year: there will be an iPad update, but we won’t get two. Oh, and this is a gem:

The iPad 2 upgrade will be thinner than iPad 2, and will offer longer battery life.

Yeah, because the one thing people love is having to replace all their accessories because the form-factor of their expensive iOS device changes every six months.
