If you can remember all the way back to last week, you may recall a leaked display component that was allegedly from the iPad 3. It looked legit enough, and appeared to show quadruple the pixels (double the resolution) of the iPad 2 under a microscope. At the time, there wasn’t a lot of reason to doubt the authenticity of the part, but sometimes bogus claims are made.
Today any doubt that this was indeed an iPad 3 display can probably be put to rest. The display was sent to techno-handyman site iFixit (by MacRumors, who published the original story), to give it a more thorough examination. The big hope was that iFixit’s engineers would be able to connect the display to an iPad 2 and power it up.
That didn’t happen. As it turns out, the iPad 3 display has a different LCD cable, one which isn’t compatible with current iPads. iFixit pondered the prospect of splicing connectors and rigging the display to fit the iPad 2; but the site decided against it, citing time constraints and no guarantee of success."
