Yesterday came loaded with new Apple devices. The keynote that we were able to enjoy took place at the Steve Jobs Theater and in it we could see the new iPhone 11, the new Apple Watch Series 5 and the new 10.2 inch iPad, which replaces what we know as iPad 2018. This new iPad expands its screen to 10.2 inches and is compatible with the Smart Keyboard. In the presentation they gave great importance to the functions of iPadOS, so the presentation was almost a reminder of everything that this new operating system could do. Do you want to know everything about the new Apple iPad?
A 10.2-inch Retina display for the new iPad
The curtain rises. Everything sounds and looks luxurious thanks to the 10,2-inch Retina display and stereo sound. The Apple TV app enters the scene, with which you can access the blockbusters of the moment. And here's a movie ending: When you buy an iPad, you get a year of Apple TV +, a new streaming service with tons of original movies and series. It's popcorn season.
The new iPad brings with it an increase in retina display arriving at 10.2 inches. It must be remembered that the iPad 2018 was 9.7, so there is a slight increase in the panel. Regarding the technical specifications of the same, it is necessary to highlight its resolution of 2160 × 1620, with a brightness of 500 nits, oleophobic anti-fingerprint cover and Apple Pencil compatibility like its predecessor. On the official website, special importance is given to the screen to promote, incidentally, the arrival of Apple TV +. It must be remembered that the purchase of a new device from now on entails one year free of this service. And they will repeat it ad nauseam.
Bring out the 10.2-inch iPad with its A10 Fusion chip
El A10 chip Fusion of the new iPad is the same as that of the previous 2018 version. So there has not been a significant power increase because the chip and the technology built into it is the same. However, Apple emphasizes that with this chip, games and images flow with incredible detail. They also highlight the compatibility of wireless controllers such as Xbox or Playstation (this compatibility comes from iPadOS) to take advantage of this chip.
The A10 Fusion chip has plenty of power to edit 4K video, play graphically heavy games, and use augmented reality apps.
Cameras, battery and accessories - all in one
La rear camera 8 megapixel has an aperture of 2,4. Features a five-element lens, hybrid infrared filter, compatible with Live Photos, autofocus and panning up to 43 megapixels. There is nothing new with respect to the iPad 2018. It is important to highlight the automatic stabilizer and the back lighting. Refering to FaceTime HD camera, without novelties, it presents an aperture of 2,2 with a sensor capable of capturing images of up to 1,2 megapixels. It is capable of recording video in HD (720p). The front camera is capable of capturing 1080p video at 30 frames per second and 720p at 120 frames per second.
Regarding the battery, Apple ensures that the autonomy of the battery it will be one day full. When Apple speaks of "full day" it refers to normal use within a 24-hour day. That time for those from Cupertino is 10 hours.
Surf the web, download books, or do whatever comes to your mind here or in Hawaii. All without going through a plug, because 10 hours of autonomy go a long way. Now fun knows no borders.
As for accessories compatible with the new iPad It is necessary to highlight the integration of the Smart Connector, until now available only in the iPad Pro. This means that we can connect the iPad to the Apple technology, Smart Keyboard, or to another keyboard with this type of connection. It is also compatible with the 1st generation Apple Pencil, so we can take notes by hand, draw, highlight or sign documents thanks to all the new features built into iPadOS.
Do you have to write a class assignment or create a presentation? Use the on-screen keyboard or dock the standard-size Smart Keyboard and type freely.
The jewel in the crown is iPadOS
iPadOS is loaded with features designed specifically for iPad, such as more intuitive multitasking, a redesigned home screen, and a PC-worthy navigation.
Why fool us. The novelties of this new iPad are not many, but if we integrate all of them together with the new Apple operating system, iPad OS, the use of this device changes completely. The integration of the 1st generation of the Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard makes this iPad a tablet suitable for any standard use both educational and professional.
Yesterday's presentation revolved around the myriad of new things we can do with iPadOS. However, those features will also be available on the iPad 2018, but without such a large screen or the Smart Keyboard. If you want to check the news of iPadOS I invite you to read our article in which we talk in detail about all of them.
Availability, colors and price
This new iPad is available in three colors: gold, space gray and silver. In addition, we can acquire them in two capacities: 32 and 128 GB.

While the most expensive version of 128 GB with WiFi + LTE connection amounts to 619 euros.
It is important to emphasize that Apple has given great relevance to its Trade In program, with which we can give our old iPad or tablet to get a discount for our new device. With this they manage to promote the purchase of devices with an interesting discount and, in addition, be able to build your new iPads with 100% recycled aluminum.
