Source: mashable.com
Summary:
More details are surfacing about the next generation of iPhone and iPad, including that both devices will feature Qualcomm chipsets and that the iPad 2 will have an SD card slot.
The Verizon iPhone 4 utilizes a Qualcomm chipset instead of the Infereon version used in the AT&T/GSM iPhone in order to connect to Verizon's CDMA network.
However, Engadget reports that the Verizon iPhone 4 is just the first of many Apple devices that will use Qualcomm as its primary chipset.
Both the iPhone 5 and the iPad 2 will utilize a dual CDMA/GSM chipset from Qualcomm, assuring that both devices work on Verizon and AT&T simultaneously.
There won't be a need for two different versions of the same device.
According to Engadget's sources, the new iPad will be slimmer and sleeker, but will retain its 10-inch screen.
It will have two cameras (something that we've often heard) and a "super high resolution" screen much like the Retina Display in the iPhone 4, though it won't have the same pixel density.
The most surprising revelation though is that the iPad 2 will have an SD card slot built into the device.
And contrary to previous reports, it will not have a USB port.
Still, the ability to load and unload media and documents via a traditional SD card is a surprising but welcomed addition.
The iPad is on track for an April release, once again in line with previous reports.
There is no word about what new additions will be made to the iPhone 5, but it is going once again be a complete redesign of the device.
It will run on Apple's A5 multi-core CPU.
One thing it won't have is support for 4G LTE connections, though.
While we have to classify all of this information as unconfirmed rumors, all of this information lines up with previous leaks and reports about Apple's upcoming 2011 line of iOS devices.
We want to stress though that Apple still has a few months before the release of either device, so they could easily change designs or features before their eventual releases.
