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...
Among the seemingly hundreds of contradicting iPad 3 reports we've heard over the past few months, one piece of gossip in particular has held true: the Retina display. And like so many of the other rumors, this one materialized today.
Apple just unveiled its new tablet, the iPad 3, complete with a staggering 2048 x 1536 resolutions. Simply put, this means the screen of the new tablet contains roughly 4x more pixels than its predecessor...
Finally. After months of rumors and speculation, it's finally here. Tim Cook has just unveiled the the new iPad. And though we feel like we've seen and heard enough about the device over the past few months to write a novel, none of that compares to the real deal.
As expected, the new iPad's hardware has received some major upgrades. Sure, it might look similar to its predecessor. But when you take a peek under its hood, you can see that the iPad 3 is an entirely different animal...
As expected, Tim Cook just announced a new Apple TV with a brand new UI and 1080p support in tow.
The rumors have been swirling about the Apple TV refresh for some time now, and they ultimately proved to be true.
With the new Apple TV comes 1080p support for iTunes in the Cloud, which means you can re-download all of your purchased content in 1080p for free.
Apple just announced on stage that iOS 5.1 will be available today, and will support Japanese language for Siri. At this time, that's all we know about iOS 5.1 but I'm sure new features will be unveiled as the event unfolds, so stay tuned for more info.
We had heard rumors from Siri herself that she would soon support Japanese, but it was confirmed this morning by Apple CEO Tim Cook. It will be part of iOS 5.1 when it's available, likely today.
Apple's iPad 3 event has begun, and the company's CEO Tim Cook has just taken the stage to get things started. Judging by his words, the theme of today's announcements is going to be "post PC products" (duh).
As with every Apple event, the company is kicking things off by talking about numbers. After all, numbers are what define whether or not a company is successful. And judging by this data, Apple's doing pretty good...
