Not a jot. The iPad 2 was rumored to have a retina display, and we all know how well that panned out. Now the same rumor is popping up about the iPad 3 retina display, but at least this time there’s been a year or more of development to make it happen. href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-20125504-64/ipad-3s-dense-display-a-challenge-for-manufacturers/">CNET has been researching what it would take to get a screen sufficiently pixel-dense to earn it Apple’s Retina Display label — namely 2048×1536  resolution.

It turns out that both Samsung and LG have the technology to do this, but it’s not sure if they will be able to face the insane demand required of an iOS device. According to their source:

“They have production plans for 2,048×1,536 displays. Starting in November. But those are only plans at this point. It’s not a question of making just one. That, of course, can be done. The challenge is making lots of them. This is a quantum leap in pixel density. This hasn’t been done before.”
