Immensely powerful yet thin and light, the Apple iPad 4 is brilliant in every sense of the word. It has all the appealing elements of iPad – a speedy A6X chip, a stunning Retina display, high-performance iSight and FaceTime cameras, advanced wireless capabilities, and over 275,000 apps – all work together to create the best possible experience.
See everything like never before
Everything you do with iPad, you do through its large, beautiful display. And when the display is better, the entire iPad experience is better. The Retina display on iPad features a 2048-by-1536 resolution, rich color saturation, and an astounding 3.1 million pixels. That’s four times the number of pixels in iPad 2 and a million more than an HDTV. Those pixels are so close together, your eyes can’t discern individual ones at a normal viewing distance. When you can’t see the pixels, you see the whole picture. Or article. Or game. In ways you never could before.
Twice the speed. Twice the graphics performance.
The powerful A6X chip delivers up to twice the CPU and graphics performance of the A5X chip. And it makes iPad feel faster and even more responsive. Apps launch instantly and run smoothly. Graphics intensive games are fluid and lifelike on the gorgeous Retina display. And with improved image signal processing built into the A6X chip, the photos and videos you take with the 5 megapixel iSight camera look sharper and even more Retina worthy.
Now there are even more reason to smile.
FaceTime on iPad puts you face-to-face — even when you’re miles apart. You can make a video call over Wi Fi or cellular, so if you’re out and about, your friends and family are never out of the loop. And now with the new FaceTime HD camera, everyone can get an even better view of you and what’s around you. You can also use it for taking self-portraits or recording 720p HD video.
Sometimes life takes you by surprise. You’re reading on your iPad while waiting for the train when you spy a talented performer on the platform. Or you’re browsing the web on the couch when your dog trots by wearing your daughter’s tutu. The iSight camera on iPad lets you capture all these unpredictable, beautiful, and hilarious moments. In 1080p HD, no less. And with automatic video stabilization, your recording is free of bumps and shakes. Which is a big advantage when you’re laughing uncontrollably.
The 5 megapixel iSight camera features a backside illumination sensor that captures great-looking pictures whether by sunlight or candlelight. When you shoot photos, the big, beautiful Retina display becomes a big, beautiful viewfinder — giving you plenty of room to compose your shot. Autofocus, tap to focus, and tap to set exposure functions mean every photo you take instantly becomes frame worthy. And with built-in face detection that automatically balances focus and exposure across up to 10 faces, there’s more room for more grins. So everyone look at iPad and say "Cheese."
Make faster connections. The world over.
The iPad 4 with Retina display features advanced Wi Fi that’s up to twice as fast as any previous-generation iPad. And access to more cellular data networks1 around the world makes it fast in more ways than one, and in many more places.
The App Store is home to more than 275,000 iPad apps and counting. But quantity is only part of the story. These are beautiful, immersive, made-just-for-iPad apps. And they change the way you do everything. You can make a spreadsheet for work, make a Hollywood-style trailer for fun, plan a lesson, plan a trip, or simply plan a meal — all on a single device.
Smaller, smarter, Durable, reversible
Part of every new iPad is the all-new Lightning connector. It’s 80 percent smaller than the 30 pin connector. And it features an all-digital, eight-signal design that’s significantly more durable. Another brilliant feature of Lightning: It’s reversible. Which means there’s no wrong way to plug in the cable.
