Rumor — iPad 3 Could Be in Production By the End of 2011

Now that the iPhone 4S has been announced (and released), Apple fans will most likely be focusing their attention on the next update to Apple’s product line — the iPad 3.

According to a recent rumor, the iPad 3 could enter into the production phase by the end of this year. This could mean that an early 2012 release isn’t out of the question — at least if you believe the financial analyst who sparked these rumors.

Since our last month supply chain checks we are now seeing 600,000 to one million iPad 3 builds showing up on the plan for the fourth quarter of calendar 2011.� — Alex Fidacaro, Financial Analyst.

Like any rumor, only time will tell us if this is actually accurate.
