iPad 3 parts leak in Taiwan

Apple.pro, which has a good track record with such things, has posted a couple pictures of what they say are iPad 3 parts.

We pretty much know an iPad 3 is coming at some point, and we know it will have parts, but for pre-release techno-fetishists and gadget geeks like us, this as close to p0rn as we can post. Enjoy.

(And yeah, Liv might be in some trouble...)

    Like OMG NO WAY!!

    Seriously though, who cares. They're parts.

  2. Mpshah says:

    Parts can be of anything. Meh!!!

  3. Brad says:

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaand....... hrmpphhh!! I'm spent....

    NOT!!

    Come on, though. Seriously. I could strap a Fleshlight to some random connector, take a picture of it in front of an Apple logo, and call it a part to the iPad3.

    Yes, I know that may be a bit on the extreme, but what exactly IS this part in the photos, and how does it prove or how is it different in such a way that we know it's not for the iPad or iPad 2? I don't see how this is Apple Gadget Porn or even something that can be proven to be a part for an iPad 3. Seems frustratingly vague if you ask me.

  4. That's clearly the thingamajig from the iPad 3. Wait! Maybe it's the thingamabob?

  5. This is a part for that new wireless charging system. This is obviously the transfer cable for the flux capacitor to the battery. Its gonna charge by any movement over 88 1/2 M.P.H. LOL

    Now what if the fleshlight were strapped to the flux capacitor? Is your mind blown yet?

    If I was Liv, I'd be pretty disappointed in this birthday gift

    Ohh this part is turning me on...... So h0rny..

    BS, The iPad doesn't have parts.

    Wow, can't believe that no one picked up on the CLEARLY Photoshoped job on this one.

    Look at the "engraving". One would think, here in the real world, that if you zoomed into the part (the inlay) the engraving and Apple logo would, you know, also appear larger. Not have the engraving flow beautifully from inlay to core picture.

    There will be no iPad 3 till next April. That is all.

    It's a whatchamacallit!!!

  13. Stormecenter says:

    Seriously it's completely Photoshopped. "Happy Birthday" is right over the Apple leaf in the inlay, but yet, there's nothing over the original.

    I guess I'll keep waiting, and waiting, and waiting.........

  14. DUDE! The rumors ARE true! That's the thingamajig that a whatchamacallit will plug into!!!!!!! I am so putting my iPad 2 up on eBay today. No reserve!

  15. Liv says:

    Thank You :)

  16. Danny says:

    LIV!!!!!! WADDUP BRO???

    If Apple is planing to launch iPad 3 in 2011 than lots of iPad 2 buyers fill that they are cheated by Apple. Apple should not launch the iPad 2 in market if they are ready with iPad 3 and launching after 6 months new iPad 3 with whole new OS. So why Apple release the iPad 2.
