Citi: Next-gen iPad to launch in February with Retina display

The iPad 3 is being upgraded with a retina display with double the pixel density of current iPad devices (iPad 1+2 sport 132 pixels per inch), which would be one of the main selling points. It's also been reported that Apple's eying a February 2012 release date. A retina display wouldn't necessarily require a larger chassis, so perhaps Apple is also gearing up to upgrade the iPad 2's craptacular cameras, especially since the rear-facing camera on the iPhone 4S is arguably point-and-shoot quality, and leaps and pounds ahead of the iPad (not arguable). In November there were several reports pointing towards a slightly thicker, but higher res design, while DigiTimes claimed around the same time that Apple was working on a dual-LED back lighting system as an alternative for an iPad 3 with Retina display and suppliers had already begun shipping panels for the device.
