Apple has been rumored to unveil a 7-inch iPad for years now, and we most recently heard the Kindle Fire competitor is set to launch sometime this fall. Earlier this month, leaked Samsung documents helped tighten up some of the rumors.
Today, Asian publication Digitimes is reporting that the 7-inch iPad will feature a slim bezel display, that will bring less space between the display and outside of the device...
I don't know about anyone else, but just seeing the word "rumor" at this point makes me cringe. It seems like we saw enough gossip regarding Apple's latest tablet over the last few months to write a novel. Or at least several chapters of one.
But was it really worth it, reporting each new rumor nearly every day? How much of the gossip ended up materializing? And how much of it didn't pan out? We answer these questions, and more, inside...
Is this the real secret of the iPad 3 invite? According to a report by The Next Web's Matthew Panzarino, Apple could be cooking up something incredible for the iPad 3.
That incredible secret — one that has ironically been sitting under everyone's nose the entire time — is a special touch feedback technology that was first revealed where? Yep, Cupertino, California.
Panzarino reasons that while the currently existing haptic feedback technology employed by Android products and the like are pretty uninspiring, this new technology could permanently change how we expect to interact with touch screen devices...
Tomorrow's event won't be exclusively about the iPad 3, as 9to5Mac confirms what we've heard before about an Apple TV refresh:
We’ve gotten a few more tidbits about tomorrow’s Apple TV announcement (Oh, there will be a new iPad too!). The Apple TV J33 model, MD199LL/A – J33 BEST -USA, which we’ve covered before will come in at the same $99 price point (and similar prices globally). We know from previous reports that it will have updated hardware internally including Bluetooth 4.0 Broadcom chip as well as a higher powered processor capable of 1080P video.
This is definitely not a surprise. As a matter of fact, we dedicated a whole section of our predictions for tomorrow's event about the Apple TV.
9to5Mac also mentions a mystery accessory that would be available for $39. It likely is a dock, cable, or maybe a new remote. All those questions will be answered tomorrow, so make sure to tune in to iDB for the full coverage.

Many Android device manufacturers have opted to include near field communication (NFC) technology inside of their devices. NFC allows customers to transmit data between two devices. The biggest use for NFC is for mobile payments – which Google has been actively pursuing with its Google Wallet technology.

Apple is expected to unveil its iPad 3 tomorrow. Finally, we'll get to see the tablet that the company has been working on for the past year. And perhaps best of all, we'll finally get to put these silly iPad 3 rumors to rest.

We've heard and passed on a number of rumors and reports regarding Apple's next tablet over the last few months. So we decided to bring them all together in one last post to help you make your final predictions on what we'll see Apple announce on Wednesday...
Citing a "reliable source", VentureBeat reports that the rumored iPad 3 will actually called the iPad HD, which others have also indicated. Many believe Apple will pick iPad HD instead of iPad 3, because the next tablet out of the company will feature a 'stunning' Retina display. Apple's next iPad is set to be announced at a media event March 7th, in San Francisco.
As we showed you last week, the Retina display's quality on the iPad looks great. Following up with the rumors, it would make sense for Apple to use the iPad HD moniker...
