Why is this even news? Don't we already have multiple corroborated sources verifying the existence of the Retina display iPad3? And what's the other takeaway - that iOS6 will eventually be released?
Wouldn't the opposite of this information be what's newsworthy?
None of the sources is what I would consider reliable. Multiple unreliable sources doesn't improve the reliability that much unless they are reporting independently.
The iPad on Apple's invitation to March 7 event[1] clearly sports a retina display. Compare it to iPad tv ads[2] and you'll see the difference between the displays...
This is news because no one really knows what Apple will release and not release.The rumors and chatter before the iPhone 4S indicated an iPhone 5 with a new design but that didn't pan out. That is the reason this is newsworthy and this is the reason for Apple's secrecy, to increase the speculation in the media.
