Apple today announced the launch of the iPad 10, featuring a new all-screen
design.
The new iPad offers a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display and is powered by the
A14 Bionic chip, which according to Apple "delivers even faster performance
with incredible power efficiency for demanding tasks while still providing
all-day battery life."
The powerful A14 Bionic chip comes to iPad, delivering a 20 percent increase
in CPU and 10 percent improvement in graphics over the previous generation.
This makes the new iPad up to 5x faster than the best-selling Android
tablet, and for users looking to upgrade from a device like iPad (7th
generation), they will see up to 3x improvement in overall performance with
the new iPad. Advanced machine learning functions are powered by a 16-core
Neural Engine in A14 Bionic - offering double the number of cores of A13 -
boosting machine learning capabilities by up to 80 percent.
Other key features include:
. Available in 4 colors - blue, pink, yellow, and silver.
. Touch ID moves to the top button.
. An Ultra Wide front camera located along the landscape edge of the iPad
with a 12MP sensor, 122-degree field of view, and support for Center Stage.
. An an updated 12MP back camera that delivers high-resolution photos and
detailed 4K video with support for 240-fps slo-mo.

faster on the new iPad than the 802.11ac Wi-Fi supported on the previous
generation.

The new Magic Keyboard Folio, designed for the new iPad, delivers an
incredible typing experience with full-size keys, 1 mm of travel, and
responsive feel.
For the first time, iPad will have a keyboard with a large trackpad and
support for a click-anywhere experience and Multi-Touch gestures, which
makes scrolling, swiping, pinching, and moving the cursor even more
seamless. The new 14-key function row allows for easy access to shortcuts
and everyday tasks, like adjusting the volume or display brightness. The
highly configurable and versatile two-piece design includes a detachable
keyboard and a protective back cover that attaches magnetically to iPad. The
keyboard magnetically attaches to the Smart Connector on the edge of iPad,
which provides power and data. This means the keyboard never needs to be
charged or paired, and users can easily fold the keyboard behind iPad or
detach it entirely. The back cover has an adjustable stand for even more
flexibility when playing games, watching video, and more.
