Pick up the iPad with Retina display and suddenly,
it’s clear. You’re actually touching your photos, reading a book, playing
the piano. Nothing comes between you and what you love. That’s because the
fundamental elements of iPad — the display, the processor, the cameras, the
wireless connection — all work together to create the best possible
experience. And they make iPad capable of so much more than you ever
imagined.
The best display ever on a mobile device.
Everything you do with iPad, you do
through its large, beautiful display. And when the display is
better, the entire iPad experience is better. The Retina display
on iPad features a 2048-by-1536 resolution, rich color
saturation, and an astounding 3.1 million pixels. That’s four
times the number of pixels in iPad 2 and a million more than an
HDTV. Those pixels are so close together, your eyes can’t
discern individual ones at a normal viewing distance. When you
can’t see the pixels, you see the whole picture. Or article. Or
game. In ways you never could before.
iPad - 2048 x 1536
HDTV - 1920 x 1080
iPad with Retina display has a million more pixels than an HDTV.
Twice the speed. Twice the graphics performance.
The new A6X chip inside iPad is our most
powerful mobile chip yet. It delivers up to twice the CPU and
graphics performance of the A5X chip. And it makes iPad feel faster
and even more responsive. Apps launch instantly and run smoothly.
Graphics-intensive games are fluid and lifelike on the gorgeous
Retina display. And with improved image signal processing built into
the A6X chip, the photos and videos you take with the 5-megapixel
iSight camera look sharper and even more Retina worthy.
10-hour battery life.
iPad features a 3.1-million-pixel Retina
display and an advanced processor and 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.

Built-in apps.
Right out of the box, iPad takes the things
you do every day and makes them extraordinary. Map out your next
adventure. Then shoot it in 1080p HD. Ask Siri to help you find the
best pizza in town. Watch a webcast or a movie. Read a best seller
or a magazine. Check email. Send messages. Or stay in touch
face-to-face over FaceTime. You’ll be amazed at how much is built
right in.
Over 275,000 apps from the App Store.
The App Store is home to more than 275,000
iPad apps and counting. But quantity is only part of the
story. These are beautiful, immersive, made-just-for-iPad apps. And
they change the way you do everything. You can make a spreadsheet
for work, make a Hollywood-style trailer for fun, plan a lesson,
plan a trip, or simply plan a meal — all on a single device.

Wave hello with the new FaceTime HD camera.
FaceTime on iPad puts you face-to-face — even
when you’re miles apart. You can make a video call over Wi-Fi or
cellular, so if you’re out and about, your friends and
family are never out of the loop. And now with the new FaceTime HD
camera, everyone can get an even better view of you and what’s
around you. You can also use it for taking self-portraits or
recording 720p HD video.
Record HD video in full 1080p.
Sometimes life takes you by
surprise. You’re reading on your iPad while waiting for
the train when you spy a talented performer on the
platform. Or you’re browsing the web on the couch when
your dog trots by wearing your daughter’s tutu. The
iSight camera on iPad lets you capture all these
unpredictable, beautiful, and hilarious moments. In
1080p HD, no less. And with automatic video
stabilization, your recording is free of bumps and
shakes. Which is a big advantage when you’re laughing
uncontrollably.
Shoot 5-megapixel still images.
The 5-megapixel iSight camera features a
backside illumination sensor that captures great-looking pictures
whether by sunlight or candlelight. When you shoot photos, the big,
beautiful Retina display becomes a big, beautiful viewfinder —
giving you plenty of room to compose your shot. Autofocus, tap to
focus, and tap to set exposure functions mean every photo you take
instantly becomes frameworthy. And with built-in face detection that
automatically balances focus and exposure across up to 10 faces,
there’s more room for more grins. So everyone look at iPad and say
“Cheese.”


Advanced Wi-Fi technology. Built in.
The new Wi-Fi capabilities built into
iPad keep you connected faster than ever — up to twice as fast
as any previous-generation iPad. With dual-band (2.4GHz and
5GHz) 802.11n Wi-Fi and support for channel bonding, download
speeds can reach up to 150 Mbps. Translation: Many
of the things you do every day may start to feel a whole lot
faster.
Next-generation cellular connectivity
— up to LTE.
If you want to connect to the Internet
even when you don’t have access to Wi-Fi, choose iPad with Wi-Fi
+ Cellular. It now supports even more ultrafast cellular
networks around the world — including LTE wireless networks
and other advanced networks such as HSPA, HSPA+, and DC-HSDPA.
So you can download content, stream video, and browse the web at
amazing speeds — without a contract or long-term commitment.
