Apple Insider posted a story that Apple is said to have chosen two suppliers to provide batteries that will be thinner and lighter, but also up to 30 percent more expensive, for its third-generation iPad.
The report said Apple's third-generation iPad will be mass-produced in the first quarter of 2012. The device's battery is said to have been redesigned to be thinner and lighter, and will reportedly offer a longer service life than the battery found in the iPad 2.Apple rumored to use thinner, lighter, safer battery for iPad 3
"Furthermore, the new battery pack will also be required to meet CTIA IEE 1625 standard for better quality and safety reliability, a trend that has been commonly seen nowadays, especially in the U.S.," the report said.
