I'd like to see if the new iPad 2s get better battery life. It stands to reason that they would, but Apple doesn't really talk about the iPad 2 anymore. I'm not willing to by an iPad 2 just to perform this test but some tech sites should do some battery benchmarks on the new iPad 2. It makes sense to me that Apple is testing out yields for the next iPhone. This new, smaller manufacturing process will allow Apple to put LTE in the next iPhone by having the CPU take up less space and consume less power. I don't envision a speed bump to the Retina iPad this year. Rather, I expect the iPad to be revised again next year. It should be on the new, smaller manufacturing process, but I'd expect the new iPad to be ARM A15 based, not A9 based like Apple's current iOS products. The next iPad may have double the CPU power while also getting better battery life. In fact, with the new GPUs that Apple will be using next year and the new CPUs, I expect the next iPad to be more powerful than the XBO 360 and PS3. That'll be a very interesting day for gaming.
