iOS 4.3 hints at 1 megapixel rear-facing camera

At this point we practically know for a fact that the next iPad 2 will have a camera or two. What we don’t know for a fact is how many megapixels the cameras will have. Up until now we thought that the rear-facing camera would have 5-8 megapixels. It appears we were wrong. A new report by 9-5 Mac claims that the rear-facing camera will be a meager 1 megapixel.

Whether or not this rumor is true, has yet to be seen. It seems slightly unlikely that Apple would settle for such a low quality camera. My guess is that the came ran on the front will be 1 megapixel, and the camera on the rear will be a 5 megapixel camera. Considering how much room Apple has to work with, I don’t see any reason why they would do anything different.

Hopefully we won’t have to wait to much longer to find out. The astrological signs have told me that there is a chance that Apple will announce the iPad 2 as early as February 9th. The report is currently unverified, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen.

What do you think? Do you think Steve will be there? Tell us in the comments section below.
