The new device is an upgrade to the previous iPad 2, offering new features like the retina display, 4G LTE capability and an improved camera. When we asked you what feature you were most excited about, though, clearly only one upgrade mattered: retina display. About 69% of you voted in favor of it, out of more than 1,000 votes.

Yesterday, we asked you to look even further down the road: ten years, in fact. What would the iPad of 2022 look like? The responses varied. Some of you thought it would be smaller, and others predicted it would be foldable and flexible. A common response was that there would be no frame, just glass. Many thought it would be transparent or would feature holographic technology. But we've decided that the winning prediction comes from MikeYoungMC, who wrote:

We particularly liked his idea of "textural APIs," but also appreciate his humor: "Most of this technology will be used for sharing pictures of cats." Here's a man who understands the Internet.

For his answer, MikeYoungMC will win a $500 Apple gift card and a Belkin prize pack. He's our second winner, following Amanda Grondahl, who won Thursday. If you didn't win, take solace in the fact that we have three more gift card/prize pack combos to give away. Today, we're asking you to look ahead once again, but not quite as far this time. From iOS to the iPhone to the iPad, Apple has a recent history of innovating in ways that change not just the face of Apple but the industry itself. We want to hear your predictions for what the company's next game changer will be. Read on to learn how to enter.
