    No, you DO NOT know that. No one knows that. All we know is that CURRENT Apple TV shipments have been pushed to March 10. That tells us NOTHING and is NO proof of a new one.

    What I do not understand is the motivation for posting faked pictures of everything from unreleased products to tornados and tsunamis. What's the point? I don't get it at all.

    This will be the last product that Steve Jobs was the major influence on. He mastered his reality distortion field to perfection and everyone that looks at the new iPad will think they are looking at the new Apple TV. Imagining a 65 inch screen with an 8K display. What ever program is in their thoughts will be seen on the screen. Steve jobs will have the "best magician ever in the world" added to his legacy. There AI top that absurd rumor!

    Sure I did. I just completely reject the idea of Apple making a television because it's ludicrous.

    It is called sarcasm. Look it up.

    This is ridiculous. Especially for AppleInsider that has covered all this stuff from day one.



    Your description of how it "could" still be defined as a retina display is almost word for word a description of how Apple in fact defines the term. Stupid.



    A "Retina Display" doesn't have to have any particular pixel density or pip at all. That's almost the whole point of the term. Even 800x600 is a "Retina Display" if it's typically or usually held far enough away from the face.

    If you'd written sarcasm, I'd have seen it.

    These images?and the display itself?can never impress as much because they are the SECOND display we?ve seen of this quality. The iPhone retina display is simply awesome, and having it at tablet size will be beautiful... but not nearly as striking as if we hadn?t already been using iPhone 4 and 4S for a year and a half.



    Still, there?s really nothing the iPad needs to be: incremental speed boosts (both processor and network) and catching up to the iPhone?s display! (I don?t even think a better camera is truly needed because in such a big it?s acceptable to have just a video/FaceTime camera with essentially no still cam/camcorder. Acceptable... but not great, so I do hope the camera improves also.)
