So it's almost been a month since 'The New iPad' was announced and I picked it up on launch day, March 16th, in the form of the White 16gb WiFi model.
From the moment I turned it on, I have been very impressed with the overall performance. There are people who review all these product's and say they are amazing just to live up to the hype of Apple and their hold over the tech industry. But I am seriously amazed by the way they have managed to improve on a product that they created the market for,only 2 years before, and have made it drastically better.
First off, The screen.
The screen is what Apple call the Retina display. The resolution is 2048 by 1536, which has over 1 million extra pixel than what we call high definition (HD) TV's. This is double the resolution of it's predecessor, The iPad 2.
The New iPad is slightly thicker and hevier than the iPad 2, But only to fit in all of the improvements.
For instance, many people were expecting a quad-core A6 proccesor, but they came up with a modified dual-core A5 proccessor call The A5X chip. But that does have quad-core graphics at least.
The new iPad also features 4G LTE, but I went for WIFI, due to the lack of 4G in the UK. It offers amazing speeds to stream, download, upload, send and browse content from whereever you are.
They have upgraded the iSight camera ( Rear Facing Camera ) to a 5 mega pixel sensor. This improves from the previous models 0.7 mega pixel camera.
It also offeres up Voice Dictation. This is a much easier and quicker way to type. All you do is find the microphone on the keyboard, tap it, then talk and the ipad does the rest.
Take a look at the youtube channel for more on the new iPad.
