Just as expected, Apple launched its new device which is an upgrade of the iPad 2. The device named "the new iPad" by Apple was released along with hot exiting and amazing features same as it was rumored to be few weeks before the new iPad 3 (as supposed was unveiled) on Wednesday although came to be known as the iPad HD. For weeks or rather months before the new iPad release date, there was a lot of debate and discussion on what features would be included in the third Generation iPad AKA the iPad. But Apple has it all on its website and below are list of the new iPad features as compiled.
The New iPad Features
1. iPad Retina Display:
The Retina display of the new iPad, transforms the entire iPad experience into a much preferred device. Everything on the iPad screen now looks and feels incredibly nice, lifelike and perfectly detailed. The retina display on the new iPad is said to have four times more pixels than iPad 2. It offers a razor-sharp text and richer colors which makes reading text, watching videos and playing games more comfortable without straining the eyes unlike the iPad 2 which looks a little bit blurry. You can compare the difference in the picture below.
The Retina display on the new iPad features a 2048 x 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 very 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, article, Or game, in ways you never could before says Apple.
Breakthrough technology. For a breakthrough display. In order to create a display with four times the pixels, Apple had to design it technology in a completely new and different way. 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.
2. Pixel perfect performance:
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 great features, the new iPad still gets an amazing 10 hours of battery life.
3. 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 the new 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.
4. Instant on Touch and Go:
If you use your iPad all the time, a few minutes here, an hour or so there, 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.
5. Long 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 but 9 hours when the 4G LTE is turn on. All these great features especially the retina display demands more power, yet the new iPad has offered the exact same battery life as the previous model. 10 hours of power.
6. iSight Camera:
The iSight camera shoot 5-megapixel still images with 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 frame worthy 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.”
7. HD video Recording:
The HD video Recording records HD video in full 1080p. Sometimes life takes you by surprise. When you’re browsing the web in your car and you just came across a live interesting event you would like to keep memory of, or you are reading a best seller ebook on your iPad and you want a video clip of a funny event, like your dog trots wearing your daughter’s tutu LOL. 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. This is a big advantage when you’re laughing hysterically. It’s 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 offer the best picture possible. With an ƒ/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.
8. 4G LTE Ultra fast full speed:
Built with the latest in wireless technology, the new iPad lets you connect to fast data networks around the world up to 4G LTE World ready. And very well connected. You use your iPad a lot, so you want it with you wherever you go. The new iPad offers the most comprehensive support for networks around the world. It’s designed with cellular antennas that access a larger frequency spectrum. That means you can get online almost anywhere you are whether you’re on AT&T or Verizon. You can even pop in a local SIM card to get a connection when you’re traveling abroad.
Really really fast is your only option. The new iPad supports fast cellular networks the world over including 4G LTE networks in the U.S. and Canada So you can browse the web, stream content, or download a movie at blazing-fast speeds. It also works on GSM/UMTS worldwide network technologies including HSPA, HSPA+, and DC-HSDPA the fastest 3G networks out there. You’ll see downlink speeds up to 42 Mbps with DC-HSDPA and up to 21.1 Mbps with HSPA+
9. iPad as a personal Hotspot:
Now for the first time, you can share the high-speed data connection on your new iPad. If your carrier supports it, iPad can act as a personal hotspot for connecting up to five devices such as a MacBook Air, an iPod touch, or another iPad, over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB.
10. iOS: The world’s most advanced mobile operating system.
iOS is the magic behind iPad. It lets you see and do everything using Multi-Touch. It includes all the powerful, innovative, and fun built-in apps you use every day, many times a day. It’s the preferred choice for app developers. And it’s yet another reason no other device comes close to iPad.
12. iCloud: Gets your content on all your devices.
iCloud stores your music, photos, apps, mail, contacts, calendars, documents, and more and wirelessly pushes them to all your devices. So if you buy a song, take a photo, or edit a calendar event on your iPad, iCloud makes sure it appears on your Mac, iPhone, and iPod touch, too. You don’t have to do a thing.
13. Dictation: Talking is now the new typing:
Apple now added a dictation option, accessible via a button on the virtual keyboard. using the new dictation option you can 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.
14. Thicker Design:
The new iPad is 0.37 inches thicker than the iPad 2 which was just 0.34 inches. the new iPad is heavier too with 1.44 pound compared to 1.33 of its former device. The heftier new iPad is an interesting proof that Apple will compromise on design for performance.
15. Bluetooth 4.0:
Less i forget about the bluetooth aspect, which has been upgraded on the new iPad to Bluetooth 4.0. The bluetooth now has the ability to work with the newer low power devices. Bluetooth 4.0 will also allow iPad to interact with other wearable devices like medical sensors, assembling data like blood sugar level or heart beat and relying it to medical personnel when need.
