Background
On February 28, 2012 Apple sent out invitations to a media event on March 7. The invitations simply read: "We have something you really have to see. And touch." Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed the device at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts on March 7, 2012. The new iPad has a lithium-ion polymer battery that lasts up to 10 hours; an Apple A5X dual-core CPU; a quad-core graphics processor; a 5-megapixel, rear-facing camera capable of 1080p video recording; and a VGA front-facing videophone camera designed for FaceTime. The display resolution is 2048×1536 (QXGA) with 3.1 million pixels—four times more pixels than the iPad 2. The new iPad however is slightly thicker than its older sibling by 0.8 mm and is heavier by 51 grams for the Wi-Fi model (652 grams).
