One exciting, and some times annoying, thing about the launch of a new Apple product is the number of rumors that surround it before the product is officially launched. And the rumored iPad 3 is no different. We have seen a lot of rumors about the iPad 3. And here is one more. But 99.9% of the times, the rumors are not really true, and remain rumors for ever.

The new rumor is a leaked product, which is supposed to be the microphone flex cable used in the new iPad 3. This news has been leaked on the popular Cydia blog. And it seems like a lot of people are excited about the leak and the product as well. The leaked microphone flex cable is also on sale on TVC Mall.

“The new part, when compared with iPad 2, shows a different arrangement in internal circuitry, hinting at a major re-design. The tail end of the part makes a “U-turn”, whereas the iPad 2′s Microphone Mic Flex Cable makes almost 90-degree turn both ways. Except for few details, the leaked part so far doesn’t offer a tantalizing tease.”

But a new internal product in an iPad does not have to mean that the external appearance of the iPad 3 will change, or will have new external features, right? Apple may keep the look and feel of the iPad 3 same as that on the iPad 2, but add new features inside. We can not be completely sure of this till we see an official image or hear it from a company representative officially.

But I guess we will sure see these pretty soon. What do you think?
