Another Hint For Apple iPad 2 2048×1536 High Resolution Display

In our previous post iPad 2 Probably To Have 2048×1536 High Resolution Display, we told you that the next generation iPad 2 is likely to have 2048×1536 High Resolution Display, The report was based on a developer who found higher resolution images, accidentally left behind by Apple developers in version 1.1 and 1.2 of iBooks for iPad.

However Rafeed.me have found another “x2″ iPad graphic found in iBooks 1.2, See the Wood Tile@2x.png below. It’s cur­rent dimen­sions are 1536×800 pix­els. For com­par­i­son, the pre­vi­ous Wood Tile.png in iBooks 1.1 was a mere 768×400 pixels.

Well, it looks like he is right in that the sec­ond gen­er­a­tion iPad will have a “super high res­o­lu­tion” dis­play. The Wood Tile@2x.png shows that the iPad 2 res­o­lu­tion would be 2048×1536 pix­els, which is 264 pix­els per inch (PPI), whereas if the iPad 2 were to have a “retina dis­play,” you’d be look­ing at some­thing with 326 PPI. The cur­rent first gen­er­a­tion iPad is 132 PPI. Apple will effec­tively be dou­bling the PPI of the iPad 2. Is that “super high res­o­lu­tion” enough for you?
