Not that we needed any more clues, but it never hurts to see Apple confirm expectations

There’s much you can tell from an event invitation from Apple, such as one intriguing new feature like the lack of a Home button, or the Retina display on the iPad 3.

If you look closely at the image in Apple’s press invite to the March 7 event in San Francisco, the display on that touch-controlled device seems to be Retina-quality.

On the iPad 1 and iPad 2, you can distinguish individual pixels from afar, let alone this distance. Yet no dots are visible here. Is it simply because the image is low-res? We don’t think so. In fact, it would make absolutely no sense at this point for Apple not to equip its next iPad with a Retina-display.

So while logic alone tells us the next iPad will boast crisp visuals, it’s nice to see that even Apple is hinting at it a week before Tim Cook & friends take the stage.
