DigiTimes Reiterates 2048x1536 for iPad 2

DigiTimes is reiterating reports that the iPad 2 will have a 2048x1536 high resolution display.

As Apple is set to start mass producing its next-generation iPad 2 at the end of February, and sources from upstream component makers pointed out that Apple is increasing iPad 2's resolution to 2048 by 1536 and the new strategy is expected to widen the company's technology gap with its competitors.


The double resolution Retina Display for the next iPad has been a highly debated topic. John Gruber from Daring Fireball says the iPad 2 will not get a resolution bump. Engadget sources say it will be "super high resolution". Evidence suggests it will get a resolution bump but its unclear which generation will see that bump.

DigiTimes predicts Apple will sell over 40 million iPad units in 2011.
