The following is the content of the article:

Apple will hold the next-generation iPad conference on March 7, local time. Apple's invitation letter to the media states that "something you really have to look at and touch."

Apple did not provide other specific details, and the scientific media's various conjectures about Apple's upcoming iPad 3 are also surging. The following is a summary of the five major aspects of Apple's new iPad conference:

1, iPad 3 specification parameters Rumors are true Apple iPad 3 is most likely to configure the retina screen, or at least twice the resolution of the iPad 2, resolution or reach 2048X1536. Screen upgrades, 4G LTE network links and other features may make the iPad 3 slightly thicker than the iPad 2. On the processor side, Apple watchers believe that the iPad 3 will carry a quad-core A4 processor or a dual-core A5X processor.

2. Whether the Home button disappears Apple's invitation letter to the media shows only a small part of the iPad's body, which makes many tech bloggers very excited, because there is no Home button on Apple's new iPad border. But perhaps Apple only shows the side or upper part of the iPad body, so it can't see the round Home button on the glass panel.

3, whether to support Siri

A Chinese blogger reported last week that the iPad 3 will support the Siri voice assistant function. After such rumors did not appear again, but this rumors seem to make some sense.

4, iPad 2 price cuts Consumer electronics retailer Best Buy has lowered the price of iPad 2 products of all specifications last year by 50 US dollars. After launching iPad 2, Apple lowered the price of its original iPad by 100 US dollars. Once Apple releases the new iPad product, retail stores will cut the iPad 2 product price by $100.

5. Release other products: Apple TV or iPod

Earlier this month, Apple’s Apple TV set-top box was sold at Best Buy, and the product was not sold at Wal-Mart. Apple’s move has caused speculation that Apple will launch a new Apple TV to replace the old set-top box, and the product will support 1080p HD video content. However, Apple TV set-top boxes can not be confused with the rumored Apple TV, Apple TV may also be successful in research and development.

In addition, Best Buy is still offering price promotions on iPod products. However, the industry has not paid too much attention to the iPod because Apple has not updated the product since September 2010.
