Do you believe what you're seeing?
9to5Mac along with iFixYouri repair say they've got the new iPad 2 display. Better yet, they've got the purported part number: LP097X02-SLN1, compared to the original iPad's LP097X02-SLA3 display. It's said to be lighter and more than 1-mm thinner than the original while featuring a thinner bezel as well -- right, just as the
rumors and our
own sources have said. Such a display would also enable some tapering of the edges in line with those
milled aluminum dummies we've seen. The big mystery is still the resolution. A
9to5Mac commenter claims to have deciphered the part number to reveal its LG Phillips 9.7-inch XGA 1024 x 768 H-IPS display origins (
same resolution as the current iPad, if true). Unfortunately, we have no way to confirm this. One more pic of the part number details after the break.
Update:
9to5Mac posted a few new details. First, it says that the new display is 10 grams lighter. Fine. It then adds cheekily, "Oh, if we told you that the dots on the display matched up with the current display, would you be upset?" Well, would you?
