Apple to launch two new tablets in 2012?

New rumors are spreading about Apple’s plans for their tablet devices in 2012. According to some unnamed sources in consumer electronics supply chain, Apple plans to launch two versions of the iPad tablet.

This reminds us somewhat on the strategy Apple took with iPhone. First there was iPhone 4 and then it was followed with iPhone 4S. Now according to aforementioned rumors Apple will first launch iPad 2S. iPad 2S should be an updated version of the currently available iPad 2 tablet. It should feature slightly better hardware including faster processors and better batteries. This device should be available in March of 2012.

The following tablet should be the next evolutionary step for tablets. iPad 3 will be available only in the third quart of 2012 but it should be the real thing. It will work on quad core A6 chip with a new Retina Display.

According to this rumors the mass production of iPad 2S should begin soon. Can Apple really release two iPad models in only one year? As always these are just rumors and you should take them with a pinch of salt, as nothing is sure until Apple releases the informations, which they as usually wont do until latest possible moment. What is your opinion, will Apple really release 2 iPad models next year?
