MacRumors, referring to Digitimes, published some interesting news regarding future Apple products, expected in 2011. Among them, the new iPad, iPhone and Apple TV. But first things first.
The SoC-tablet system will replace the processor ARM Cortex-A8 on Cortex-A9 and increased RAM doubled to 512 MB. In 2011, the tablet will be available in two versions: with 9.7-inch display and 7-inch. the last resolution will be the same as the older model - 1,024 × 768 pixels, and the characteristics of the tablet should not be different. Also in earlier reports Digitimes reported that Apple may move to OLED-displays in the iPad, but as long as these data have not been confirmed in any way. Now there is a shortage of such panels and, most likely, the company will continue to use LCD-based IPS technology in the 9.7-inch tablet, and a 7-inch. In addition, these screens are better adapted to display text than OLED.
As for the iPhone, then in 2011, according to rumors will be released CDMA version of the device, and it will produce in the factories of Pegatron Technology. In China, the new iPhone will be distributed by the operator China Telecom mobile, and in the US - Verizon. In addition, the design of Apple's device will also likely undergo changes - glass back panel will give way to metal. Part of it will also be, and "integrated antenna," whatever that meant.
Recent suggestions have concerned Apple TV. In an updated set-top box, which lost the HDD, is AMD Fusion platform, as well as software iOS platform used, which will provide a familiar interface, familiar from iPhone, social networks and support App Store.
Judging from the data source, the mass production of new products will begin in December this year, and their announcement will take place in early 2011. However, we must consider the fact that these figures are the work of analysts, using indirect information from suppliers of components, working with Apple and not the fact that in the future they confirmed.
