CydiaBlog posted something interesting they found on the TVC Mall website. They found parts for the iPad 3 which is rumored to be released in the first months of 2012. In the picture above you can see a replacement part for the microphone on the iPad 3, and it is interesting to see that there are some pretty major changes compared to the iPad 2 microphone part. “The new part, when compared with iPad 2, shows a different arrangement in internal circuitry, hinting a major re-design.
