Apple iPad conference five focus: Home button disappears to support Siri

According to foreign media reports, the American technology website PC World published an article by Jared Newman, summarizing the five focus of the new iPad conference, including whether the Home button will disappear, whether iPad 3 can support Siri, and whether Will launch new Apple TV or iPod at the same time.

Apple has formally sent an invitation letter to the media and will hold a new iPad conference in San Francisco on March 7 and said "We have something you must look at and touch." Of course, Apple did not disclose more details, but this does not prevent the outside world from speculating about the conference.

Here are five highlights of the new iPad conference that PC World has summarized:

First, the rumors iPad 3 specifications are true Apple iPad 3 most likely feature is the "Retina" HD screen, or at least the equivalent of iPad 2 twice the resolution of the screen, reaching 2048 × 1536 resolution. The upgrade of the screen, as well as the 4G LTE network connection, may cause the iPad 3 body to be slightly thicker than the iPad 2. Regarding processors, Apple watchers expect the iPad 3 to use a quad-core A6 processor or a dual-core A5X processor.

Second, the Home button disappears Apple in the invitation issued to the media shows a small part of the iPad body, but the exciting science and technology blog is that the picture in the iPad does not have the Home button. But it's also possible that Apple just showed the side of the device so it can't see the round Home button on the glass panel.

Third, iPad 3 can support Siri

There have been reports previously that the iPad 3 will support the Siri voice assistant function. However, after this rumor did not appear again, I wonder if it can become a reality.

Fourth, iPad 2 price promotions Best Buy has already lowered the price of each version of the iPad 2 by 50 US dollars. Last year, Apple immediately lowered the price of the first iPad by 100 US dollars immediately after the iPad 2 was released. Therefore, once the new version of iPad is released, Apple retail stores will certainly take the lead to lower the price of iPad 2 by 100 US dollars, and the distributors will also follow suit.

Fifth, other products, Apple TV or iPod?

Earlier this month, Apple’s Apple TV set-top box was sold out on Best Buy, and this product is no longer sold by Wal-Mart. This has led speculation that Apple will launch a new Apple TV, replacing the old product, which may support 1080p video content. Of course, Apple TV cannot be confused with the rumored Apple TV. Apple TV may not be completed yet.

In addition, Best Buy is promoting the iPod player. Although the outside world has not paid too much attention to the iPod update, since September 2010, Apple has not updated the iPod, so it may launch a new version of the iPod player at the iPad 3 conference.
