The Right ClickNew iPad unveiled at Apple event
In a highly-anticipated event, Apple has announced the new iPad, its latest tablet device. And in a little over a week, Canadians can get their hands on one of their own.
On March 16, the new iPad will be released in Canada, with capabilities to connect to the 4G LTE networks on Rogers, Bell and Telus.
The two big key things that the new iPad showcases are its graphics and its speed. Its new Retina Display is high-definition at 1080p, with a resolution of up to 2048 by 1536 pixels, making the resolution a whopping 3.1 million pixels. That's 264 pixels per inch of screen. The display also has 44% better colour saturation than the previous iPad, and boasts quad-core graphics thanks to its A5X processor.
At 9.4 mm and 1.4 lbs, it is slightly heavier and thicker than the current generation of iPad (at least the Wi-Fi model), although it certainly looks thinner. It still boasts the same battery life at 10 hours (9 hours on 4G).
The new iPad will be available in 16GB for $499, 32GB for $599, 64GB for $699. It is also available in the 4G model at $629, $729, and $829. It can be pre-ordered as of today.
