DigiTimes made waves when it added a new twist to the iPad 3 rumor mill: Apple may release two versions of the device, one higher-end model and one moderately priced option. (The story in question has since been restricted to site subscriber access only.) However, BGR posted leaked photos that indicate the upcoming tablet will simply ship with two different connectivity options: Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi plus global LTE. Most recently, the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple presented an 8-inch iPad with a resolution comparable to the current tablet to hardware suppliers in Asia. But demo'ing the device with component makers likely means the 8-inch slate won't be ready for public eyes this year.
