Apple Launches New iPad

New iPad Features Retina Display, A5X Chip, 5 Megapixel iSight Camera &
Ultrafast 4G LTE

SAN FRANCISCO―March 7, 2012―Apple today introduced the new iPad, the third
generation of its category defining mobile device, featuring a stunning new
Retina display, Apple's new A5X chip with quad-core graphics and a 5
megapixel iSight camera with advanced optics for capturing amazing photos
and 1080p HD video. iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G connects to fast networks
worldwide, including AT&T's and Verizon's 4G LTE networks, and still
delivers the same all-day 10 hour battery life* while remaining amazingly
thin and light. Beginning today, iPad 2 will be offered at an even more
affordable price starting at just $399 (US).

"The new iPad redefines the category Apple created less than two years ago,
delivering the most amazing experience people have ever had with
technology," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of
Worldwide Marketing. "The new iPad now has the highest resolution display
ever seen on a mobile device with 3.1 million pixels, delivering razor sharp
text and unbelievable detail in photos and videos."

The new iPad's Retina display delivers four times the number of pixels of
iPad 2, so dense that the human eye is unable to distinguish individual
pixels when held at a normal distance, making web pages, text, images and
video look incredibly sharp and realistic. The 3.1 million pixels in the
Retina display are more than one million more pixels than an HD TV, and with
44 percent increased colour saturation the new iPad displays colours that
are unbelievably richer, deeper and more vivid. Movies are now capable of
playing at full 1080p HD-resolution, delivering an incomparable viewing
experience on a mobile device.

The powerful new A5X chip with quad-core graphics was specifically designed
by Apple to deliver a fast, responsive user experience while supporting the
incredible Retina display. With double the graphics performance of the A5
chip, the A5X provides a superb balance between performance and power
efficiency so users can enjoy all the benefits of the stunning new display
while experiencing a smooth Multi-Touch interface, immersive gameplay,
incredible visual depth and all-day battery life that iPad is known for
delivering.

The 5 megapixel iSight camera features advanced optics for taking stunning
pictures and recording full HD video. Backside illumination allows you to
take great photos in low-light conditions and a new video image
stabilisation feature removes the bumps and shakes typically seen when
filming with a hand-held device. Images can be enjoyed on the large Retina
display, then edited, enhanced and easily shared with friends and family
using the built-in Photos app on iPad.

iPad Wi-Fi + 4G with built-in next generation 4G LTE has the most
comprehensive support for fast networks worldwide including HSPA+ and
DC-HSDPA, and now both CDMA and GSM iPad users have the ability to easily
roam internationally. The world-ready iPad delivers blazing download and
upload speeds so web pages load incredibly quickly and email with large
attachments can be sent and received easily. Personal Hotspot can be used to
share the fast network connection on your iPad with up to 5 other devices
using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB**.

With iOS 5.1, the latest update to the world's most advanced mobile
operating system, the new iPad has a number of new features and enhancements
including: a redesigned Camera app with video stabilisation technology; the
ability to delete photos from Photo Stream; support for dictation in
English, French, German and Japanese; and Personal Hotspot. iOS 5.1 also
works seamlessly with iCloud, a breakthrough set of free cloud services
including iTunes in the Cloud, Photo Stream and Documents in the Cloud, that
works seamlessly with your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC to
automatically and wirelessly store your content and push it to your devices.
When content changes on one of your devices, your other devices are updated
automatically.

The new iPad also supports dictation, another amazing way to get things
done just using your voice. Instead of typing, tap the microphone icon on
the keyboard, then say what you want to say and the new iPad listens. Tap
done, and iPad converts your words into text. You can use dictation to write
messages, take notes, search the web and more. Dictation also works with
third-party apps, so you can update your Facebook status, tweet, or write
Instagram captions.

Apple also introduced the iPhoto app, along with major updates to iMovie
and GarageBand, completing its suite of iLife apps for iOS. iLife and the
iWork apps, Pages, Keynote and Numbers, have all been updated to take
advantage of the new iPad Retina display. iPhoto includes breakthrough
Multi-Touch features so you can use simple gestures to sort through hundreds
of photos and find your best shots, enhance and retouch your images using
fingertip brushes and share stunning photo journals with iCloud. iMovie now
gives you the ability to create amazing Hollywood-style trailers as you
record HD video, and GarageBand introduces Jam Session, an innovative and
fun new feature that allows a group of friends to wirelessly connect to play
instruments and record music together live on their iOS devices.

iPad runs almost all of the over 585,000 apps available on the App Store,
including more than 200,000 native iPad apps, from a wide range of
categories, including books, games, business, news, sports, health,
reference and travel. The iTunes Store puts the world's most popular online
music, TV and movie store at your fingertips with a catalog of over 20
million songs, over 90,000 TV episodes and over 15,000 movies. The new
iBooks 2 app for iPad lets users experience an entirely new kind of ebook
that's dynamic, engaging and truly interactive. iBooks created with Apple's
new iBooks Author offer gorgeous, fullscreen ebooks with interactive
animations, diagrams, photos, videos, unrivaled navigation and much more.
