Some interesting information hidden deep within the code of iOS 5 has been uncovered by the folks over at 9to5mac. By code-digging over the last few months – including Siri, several secret features in the new software have been exposed by the site.
The recent find concerns on an unreleased Apple product, codenamed J2. The site considers that this could be the next version of the iPad. Apart from that, the folks also think that this could be the eagerly awaited Retina display-equipped tablet that everyone has been talking about.
The J2 codename matches up with a report from Digitimes which also named a J2 device as Apple’s next tablet. The report mentioned that Apple is currently giving two tablet PC projects to its upstream partners for development codenamed J1 and J2. The major differences according to the sources between the new tablet PCs compared to the previous models will be their size, specifications and technologies.
According to 9to5Mac, J1 and J2 are similar tablets, with J2 being the 3G model. Apple might also be testing the device as referenced in iOS 5 in early betas.
Rumors have been heard that Apple was working on an iPad with a Retina-like screen before, but such evidence have been seen for the first time. But still it seems like Apple and its supply partners are facing problems in producing high resolution displays.
Due to manufacturing limitations, Apple may have to decide between a thinner tablet with a lower screen resolution or an iPad with a Retina display which is slightly thicker.
Which one would be a better choice? Share your thoughts below.
