If the computer were invented today, what would it look like? It would be powerful enough for any task. So mobile you could take it everywhere. And so intuitive you could use it any way you wanted — with touch, a keyboard, or even a pencil. In other words, it wouldn’t really be a “computer.” It would be the new iPad.
Retina display. As beautiful as it is functional.
The 9.7-inch Retina display is an immersive way to experience all the things you can do with iPad. Whether you’re writing a business plan or painting a masterpiece, the spacious display offers a vividness and clarity that’s so stunning you can’t help but touch it. Which is exactly the point.
A10 Fusion chip. Engineered for performance.
64-bit architecture. Four-core design. Over 3.3 billion transistors. Translation: iPad is incredibly fast. Which comes in handy when you want to edit a 4K video, play graphics-intensive games, or experience the latest augmented reality apps.
The most immersive way to experience augmented reality.
Augmented reality (AR) is a new technology that brings virtual objects into the real world. And every aspect of iPad — from the display to the processing power to the cameras to the motion sensors — is designed to make AR apps more magical than ever before.
Apple Pencil. Dream it up. Jot it down.
iPad has always been a great way to get what’s in your mind down on the page. And now you have a new way to do it. Write notes, paint a watercolor, or sign a lease. With Apple Pencil, you’ll do it all with pixel-perfect precision and responsiveness. Use it as naturally as you would a pencil, while doing a whole lot more than you would with one.
Two great cameras that do more than take great photos.
Built-in front and back cameras allow you to shoot gorgeous photos and cinematic videos, scan documents, make FaceTime calls, or even create a floor plan using augmented reality.
Unlock securely and shop easily with Touch ID.
Touch ID makes unlocking your iPad simple and secure. You can also make purchases conveniently and safely with Apple Pay. Just place your fingertip on the Touch ID sensor and you’re good to go.
With over a million apps for iPad, iPad can do countless things.
Every one of the 1.3 million iPad apps has been designed specifically for the large iPad display. There are apps for anything you want to do — photography, drawing, or just getting some work done. And finding your new favorite apps is as easy as visiting the App Store, where our editors are always curating the best of what’s new and noteworthy.
