Pick up the new iPad 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. To make that hands-on experience even better, we made the fundamental
elements of iPad better - the display, the camera, the wireless connection. All
of which makes the new, third-generation iPad capable of so much more than you
ever imagined.
Four times more pixels than iPad 2. Razor-sharp text. Richer colors. The Retina
display transforms the entire iPad experience. So everything looks and feels
incredibly lifelike and perfectly detailed.
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 the new iPad features a 2048-by-1536 resolution, 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. 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.
The new iPad has a million more pixels than an HDTV.
Breakthrough technology. For a breakthrough display.
In order to create a display with four times the pixels, we had to design it in
a completely new way. You see, every pixel in a display has multiple signals
telling it when to light up. But when you have a lot of pixels and a lot of
signals on the same plane, signals get crossed and image quality suffers. To
make sure everything on the new iPad looks crystal clear, Apple engineers
elevated the pixels onto a different plane - separating them from the signals.
It,s technology that,s breakthrough. Just like the new iPad itself.
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.
More power on display.
The Retina display on the new iPad wouldn,t be possible without the new and
powerful A5X chip. It drives power to every one of the 3.1 million pixels in the
display. And its quad-core graphics processing makes everything you do on iPad
feel incredibly responsive. From the little things like swiping, scrolling, and
pinching to the big things like editing photos in the new iPhoto, applying
filters and transitions in iMovie, and, of course, playing games.
Instant on. Touch and go.
You use your iPad all the time. A few minutes here, an hour or so there. And
each time you press the Home button or open the Smart Cover, it,s ready to go.
Instantly. That,s the work of flash storage. It,s fast and reliable, so you can
get to your apps and do whatever you need to do, pronto.
Battery life spared.
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.
The new iPad features Apple,s 5-megapixel iSight camera. Designed with advanced
optics, it lets you shoot gorgeous photos and 1080p HD video
.
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. Autofocus,
tap to focus, and tap to set exposure functions mean every photo you take
instantly becomes a frameworthy gem. 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.
Record HD video in full 1080p.
Sometimes life takes you by surprise. You,re reading a best seller on your iPad
waiting for the morning train when you spy a gifted 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 the new 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.
Its all in the lenses.
Megapixels matter. But the quality of a photo is determined by other things, too
- like the camera,s optics, image signal processor, and software. The iSight
camera uses advanced optics to give you the best picture possible. With an F/2.4
aperture and a five-element lens, it captures light efficiently to produce a
sharper overall image. And the hybrid infrared filter - typically reserved for
expensive SLR cameras - keeps out harmful IR light for more accurate, uniform
colors.

connecting up to five devices - such as a MacBook Air, an iPod touch, or another
iPad - over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB.

Talking is the new typing.
Write an email. Send a text. Search the web. Or create a note. And do it all
with only your voice. Instead of typing, tap the microphone icon on the
keyboard. Then say what you want to say while your iPad listens. Tap Done and,
just like that, your spoken words become written words. 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.
Apps for iPad aren,t like anything else. That,s because every app - 200,000 and
counting - is designed to work with iPad features like the beautiful 9.7-inch
screen, Multi-Touch, the accelerometer, the gyroscope, and more.

and it starts downloading instantly. iPad lets you know when updates are
available, so your apps are always current.
Apps made just for iPad.
An app that,s made for iPad is genuinely made for iPad. That means it,s
