The battery in the iPad 3 will reportedly
be thinner and lighter than the one in
the iPad 2, according to a report in
Taiwan Economic News, suggesting that
the new tablet may also see a thinner,
lighter design or other improvements.
Citing "institutional investors" as its
sources, the Taiwanese news site said
that the new battery will not only be
thinner and lighter but offer a longer life
than the iPad 2's battery. The new
battery will also need to meet higher
standards for quality and reliability,
which means that Apple's cost for it
could shoot up by 20 to 30 percent.
Suppliers Simplo Technology and
Dynapack International Technology will
start to deliver the new battery pack to
Apple during the fourth quarter and
ramp up into full production in the first
quarter of 2012.
