As the rumored release date for Apple’s next-generation iPad nears, clues as to what the iPad 3 will look like keep flowing from a variety of sources.
A new rumor involves images found in iBooks 2, Apple’s latest iOS app, which hint at a 2x display, giving more weight to the rumors that a Retina Display will be included on the iPad this spring.
