And they say there are no surprises at Apple events! Apple just released a new fourth generation iPad. That's right. Six months after the iPad 3, there's a new iPad.
The new iPad features a new A6X chip, LTE for cellular versions and faster Wi-Fi. This is the same chip in the new iPhone 5 and is supposed to be twice as fast as the last iPad.
The new iPad -- which also has the same 10 hour battery as the now-obsolete iPad 3, is will sell for the same price as the last iPad.
U.S. pricing will look like:
16GB Wi-Fi only, $499
16GB LTE, $629
32GB Wi-Fi only, $599
32GB LTE, $729
64GB Wi-Fi only, $699
64GB LTE, $829
Undoubtedly, this is a great device for new iPad owners (or iPad 2 owners) -- but for iPad 3 owners, the feeling is a bit bittersweet.
