Apple’s new all-screen design in four vibrant colors
The new iPad features an all-screen design in four gorgeous finishes – Blue, Pink, Yellow, and Silver. The stunning 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display extends to the edges, so users have even more screen area for apps, games, and fun on the iPad – all roughly the same size as the previous generation. The new Liquid Retina display delivers a beautiful visual experience with 2360×1640-pixel resolution, nearly 4 million pixels, 500 nits brightness, and True Tone technology. Touch ID moves to the top button on the iPad, which makes it easy to unlock, log into apps, or use Apple Pay.
A14 Bionic Chip
The powerful A14 Bionic chip comes to the iPad, providing a 20 percent increase in CPU and 10 percent improvement in graphics over the previous generation. This makes the new iPad 5x faster than the best-selling Android tablet, and for users upgrading from a device like the iPad (7th generation), they will see a 3x improvement in overall performance with the new iPad.
Advanced Camera and Audio
Supports landscape ultra wide front camera center stage with 12MP sensor and 122-degree field of view, which automatically pans and zooms as users move around. The upgraded 12MP wide back camera on the iPad delivers high-resolution photos and detailed 4K video, with support for 240-fps slo-mo.
The dual microphones are designed to work in conjunction with the cameras, capturing audio from the camera in use, and reducing distracting background noise. The new landscape stereo speakers provide an immersive video viewing experience on the iPad with the larger display.
Wi-Fi 6, 5G, and USB-C for faster connectivity
Users can do much more on the iPad with fast wireless connectivity on the go. With new support for Wi-Fi 6, connections on the new iPad are 30 percent faster than the 802.11ac Wi-Fi supported on the previous generation.
