The New iPad In Singapore

The New Apple® iPad® arrived in Singapore on Friday, 16th March 2012 at 0800hrs local time, together with 9 other countries, US, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Switzerland and the UK, along with Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

Simply known as “The New iPad“, it features the new Retina™ display, Apple’s new dual-core A5X chip with Quad-Core Graphics, a 5-megapixel iSight® Camera that can record 1080p HD video too, and 4G LTE mobile broadband capabilities (network dependent).

Look-wise, there is no significant difference in dimension between the new iPad and the iPad 2, but the Display resolution of the new iPad has 4 times the pixels of the iPad 2.

The new iPad comes with a High resolution Retina display at 2048 x 1537 pixels at 264 pixels per inch (ppi), while the iPad 2 is 1024 x 768 pixel at 132 ppi.

The Width and Height of the new iPad remains the same as the iPad 2, at 7.31 inch (185.7 mm) Wide by 9.50 inch (241.2 mm) in Height. It is slightly thicker than the iPad 2, (the new iPad is 0.37 inch / 9.4 mm thick compared to the iPad 2 0.34 inch / 8.8 mm), and weighs slightly more than the iPad 2 (about 0.11 lbs / 50g more).

Battery life remains the same as the iPad 2 too, at up to 10 hours (varies by use and configurations) of Web surfing on Wi-Fi, watching video or listening to music.
