iPad HD..or 2.5?

The successor to the iPad 2 was unveiled on March 7, 2012 by Apple CEO Tim Cook at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. The new iPad is supported by the new dual core A5X processor with quad-core graphics, and a Retina Display with a resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels (over 50 percent more pixels than a standard 1920×1080 high definition TV screen). As with previous iPads, there are two models, in this case a Wi-Fi only model and a Wi-Fi + 4G LTE model.

Apple have not paid as much attention to the new model in comparison with the other two products and are hoping the ‘iPad 3′ will be following in its ancestors footsteps. This fault in advertising may be the reason why many were left in the dark about the iPad’s release on Friday. However, those who have heard and shown interest in this new piece of tech are being left disappointed  with its new features. Some even believe that newcomers will be confused by the range of products now available.

After interviewing many people on the subject, most of them think that Apple could have put more time and effort into new designs and features for new iPad. They think that there needs to be more of a significant change for Apple to justify it as a new product.

On the contrary, if you search hard enough then you will actually find out that most of the features expected have come through in the new iPad. Thousands of people have already joined the queue to get their hands on this new iPad – expect a busy Friday at the Apple store for release day!
