The new iPad 3 is nothing short of amazing. Of course the star of the show is the beautiful Retina display that brings 4 times more pixels to your screen that its predecessor. All this powered by Apple's own A5X processor.
But what else is hiding under the hood of Apple's new tablet? We have the full iPad 3 specs for you, right here...
Apple just posted a video presentation of the iPad 3 on its website. It's not available on YouTube or for download yet, but I assume it's just a matter of time.
Go over Apple's website to see how beautiful the Retina display looks on the iPad 3...
It looks like a lot of our forecasts are materializing today, including the iPad 2 sticking around. We figured we'd see Apple continue to sell last year's tablet after today, with a bit of a price drop to appeal to a wider audience.
And that's exactly what it's doing. Apple just announced that it will be keeping the iPad 2 around for folks that aren't impressed with the new slate's features starting at just $399...
As announced earlier today, you can now pre-order your iPad directly from Apple for delivery on March 16th.
The iPad 3 comes in several flavors. Black, white, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, Wi-Fi or LTE. Fortunately for your wallet, prices remain similar to what they've been for the last two years...
Feeling a little blue about the Apple TV refresh now that you see it got a nice new interface along with 1080p? Don't fret, current Apple TV owners will be able to bask in the glory of that new interface as well via a software update later today.
Of course, if you're an Apple TV jailbreaker we advise you to hold off on updating if you want to maintain your jailbreak, but we have to admit it will be mighty hard not to give into the curiosity of the new UI update.
Apple has been slowly porting its popular suite of iLife applications from the Mac to iOS over the last 12 months. There's iMovie for iOS, and GarageBand. And now the company has just introduced iPhoto for iPad.
Just like its Mac OS counterpart, iPhoto for iPad is a photo management app that will "give you great new ways to browse through all of your photos, and has truly groundbreaking ways to edit those photos."
Something the iPad has always been able to claim is great battery life. Both the first and second generations of the tablet have had a 10 hour battery — meaning you could practically use the thing for 10 hours straight before it died.
But with the new iPad's upgraded hardware, a lot of folks have wondered if it would be able to hold around that 10 hour mark. I mean, between a new Retina display, quad-core processor and 4G LTE, it can't possibly maintain great battery life. Can it?
One week folks, that's all the waiting you'll have to do before getting your hands on the new iPad.
You can pre-order the new iPad starting today, with availability on March 16th — the same day as the new Apple TV.
Thankfully, the prices for the devices have remained the same as the current generation iPads, with Wi-Fi only flavors going for $499, $599, and $699 for 16, 32, and 64GB respectively. LTE models will go for $629, $729, and $829 for the same amount of storage space.
As with the current generation, there will be both black and white versions, with separate LTE models for both Verizon and AT&T...
Apple has just announced its new iPad and is going down the list of its new features. We're now talking about the tablet's new backside camera and it looks like that, as expected, it's received a major update.
The camera system in Apple's new tablet is very similar to the setup in the iPhone 4S. It has a backside illuminated sensor, 5 element lens, IR filter, and ISP (Image Signal Processing) built into the slate's new A5X processor...
The rumors were true. The new iPad will come equipped with a 4G LTE option for speeds much faster than current 3G speeds.
Even better is the fact that almost everyone in the United States will be able to benefit, because LTE is for both Verizon and AT&T, just as we expected.
But folks in other countries won't be left out. Verizon, Rogers, Bell, Telus and AT&T are all featured LTE partners.
Still no word about Siri as I am typing this, but the new iPad sure is coming with dication support. Just like the iPhone 4S, it supports English, French, German, and of course now, Japanese.
It's not been confirmed that this will come to previous iPad models as well, but I doubt it. Just like Siri for the iPhone 4S, dictation on the iPad will be one of those features that could technically be ported to older devices, but won't for marketing reasons.
The iPad A5X processor with quad core graphics was confirmed today at Apple's new iPad media event.
When comparing to competitors Phile Schiller said: "The Apple A5 was already twice as fast. This is a graphics powerhouse."
Seeing that the current A5 chip inside the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2 is no slouch, it's insane to think of how much horsepower is behind this chip. It should have no problem keeping the new Retina Display satisfied...
