Jobs would’ve never named a new product as “the new whatever”. Anyway, what’s in a name. Right? Let me reveal the specifications, features and price of the ‘The New iPad’ launched officially by Apple, today. The new iPad is packed with a stronger chip, new iSight 5 MP camera First, A5X quad-core graphics chip and many more features. Read on to know more about the new iPad tablet.
Form Factor
There are no major changes in the design. The new iPad is slightly heavier and thicker. It has the same height and width, and if sources are to be believed, both ‘The New iPad”’ and iPad 2 look so similar as to be almost identical.
Processor
The A5X chip with quad-core graphics drives four times the pixels of iPad 2 yet it delivers the same smoothness and fluidity iPad is known for. Even with all that extra oomph, the new iPad still gets an amazing 10 hours of battery life. Apple claims this is up to four times faster than Nvidia’s Tegra 3 tech which many Android competitors are using.
Ultrafast 4G LTE
The new iPad lets you connect to fast data networks around the world — up to 4G LTE. It offers the most comprehensive support for networks around the world. It’s designed with cellular antennas that access a larger frequency spectrum.
Display
‘The new iPad’ features a full size Retina IPS LED-backlit display with a 2048×1536 pixel resolution at 264ppi, 44 percent greater color saturation, and an astounding 3.1 million pixels — in the same 9.7-inch space. That’s four times the number of pixels in iPad 2 and a million more than an HDTV.
Battery Life
The new iPad features a Retina display with four times the pixels of iPad 2 and quad-core graphics. How much of an effect does that have on battery life? Almost none. You still get up to 10 hours of power to read, watch, play, write, and create whatever you want, all you want.
Camera
It features Apple’s 5-megapixel iSight camera. Designed with advanced optics, it lets you shoot gorgeous photos and 1080p HD video. The 5-megapixel iSight camera features a backside illumination sensor that captures great-looking pictures whether by sunlight or candlelight.
Voice Dictation
The new iPhone’s microphone supports voice dictation in several languages including English, French, German and Japanese. Dictation also works with third-party apps, so you can do things like update your Facebook status or share a thought on your Twitter feed.
Price
The starting price of the new iPad remains the same as the iPad 2. One more good news is that the price of iPad 2 has now been dropped for Apple iPad 2, which is now available for $100 less, retailing at $399 now for the 16GB Wifi model, instead of $499. And, here are the price details of the new iPad.
