Apple has unveiled a new version of its iPad, which sports an all-new design with a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, along with improvements in performance, video and more. Powered by the A14 Bionic chip and available in four colors, the new iPad 10th generation delivers what Apple describes as even faster performance and power efficiency for demanding tasks, while delivering all-day battery life.
The new Liquid Retina display has a resolution of 2360 x 1640 pixels, or almost 4 million pixels, and extends to the edges of the tablet, which means it has more screen real estate for apps and games – while the new iPad maintains roughly the same size as previous models.
Apple’s new iPad 2022 is available from 589 euros. Apple claims that the device’s A14 Bionic chip offers a 20% increase in processor performance and a 10% improvement in graphics over the previous generation, making it faster and more efficient for everyday tasks at home. work, school or home.
A redesigned camera
The new iPad’s camera has also been changed — for the first time on an Apple tablet, the front camera is now located along the long edge of the device. Apple explained that this change was made with a view to video calls and recordings. The landscape’s Ultra Wide front camera has a 12MP sensor and a 122-degree field of view, while the iPad’s improved 12MP Wide rear camera lets you take photos in high resolution and shoot 4K videos.
The new iPad also offers faster connectivity with new support for Wi-Fi 6 connections, while 5G cellular models allow the iPad to reach peak speeds of up to 3.5 Gbps, according to Apple. At the same time, a USB-C port supports more accessories and faster charging times when used with more powerful charging adapters.
New accessories for the redesigned iPad include a new detachable Magic Keyboard Folio, which gives users full-size keys and, for the first time for the iPad, a large trackpad. Users can also configure shortcuts for daily tasks. The keyboard magnetically attaches to the Smart Connector on the edge of the iPad, which provides power and data and means the keyboard never needs to be charged or paired.
“The most advanced iPad yet”
New features added to iPadOS 16 include the ability to edit or unsend recently sent messages in the Messages app, as well as the ability to recover recently deleted messages. Additionally, Live Text now uses “device intelligence” to recognize text in images and videos, which means users can now interact with text in paused video images.
The Wi-Fi models of the new iPad are available at a starting price of 589 euros, and the Wi-Fi + Cellular models from 789 euros. The 10th generation iPad can be ordered from Apple today and will be available in stores starting Wednesday, October 26.
