Analysts and pundits predict the iPad 3 at the end of the 2011 run for some time now, but if the invoices from suppliers in Asia are to be believed, there's just no way that will happen is if the rumors about the high-dpi screen at first are correct (and we think they are).
9.7 Display sports a 2048 × 1536 pixels, four times more than the current iPad and three times more than the HD displays many Android tablets, it's just at the limit of the LCD Panel technology. Apple previously had hoped to have at least five or six million units by the end of the year and placed orders in this regard, but Digitimes reports that these orders have disappeared.
Chatter around the water cooler display industry is that the sharp is the only company capable of making these panels with any real credibility; Samsung and LG, apparently could not achieve a good yield. If these companies want to throw money, they could invest despite poor harvests, as Microsoft has done in order to bring the Xbox 360 on the market early, but we all know how that turned out. Samsung actually demonstrated an alternative type of high-resolution display, but is unlikely Apple will use it, even if it was ready for the market.
These screens will be among the highest performing in the world, but should be made millions at relatively low cost. Apple does not make your own displays (among other things), so it is dependent on the OEM as Sharp. And if Sharp said "If someone could do it, we could — but we can't," that Apple has no choice but to take that hit and delay product.
Meanwhile, the same sources estimate 30 million iPad 2s will be mailed in 2Q11; without the "rare" parts, they can be made as fast as millions of hands in the cities of the huge factory you can put them together.
Of course, he must say that a product that is not strictly speaking a delay. And I'm sure that Apple was prepared for this situation is likely to keep working with Sharp, which yields simply cannot hit targets in time. So: the revised launch schedule. January, anyone?
