This post is now being picked up by a number of publications that seem to be conflating the two pieces of evidence. The screen resolution numbers aren't necessarily connected to the iPads running iOS 6; they could be completely unrelated. The only thing we're sure of is that there are iPads that claim to be running iOS 6 browsing Ars Technica from Apple's campus in Cupertino. Whether those exact iPads are iPad 3s with "retina" displays remains unknown.
