Apple iPad 4 Features:

Display

iPad 4 is really very much same to the old iPad 2 and I think it would be difficult for you to distinguish between the both when switched off. Before we get on the other features of iPad 4, one of the most important feature worth discussing is: The Retina Display. Now you must be thinking that what is this Retina Display?

Actually Retina Display is a brand name used by Apple for liquid crystal displays in which they claim that have an enough pixel and resolution density – roughly 300 or more pixels per inch that the human eye is unable to notice pixilation at a typical viewing distance. This typical distance varies in case of each device. For iPhone and iPod it is 10 inches and in case of iPad it is nearly 15 inches.

The new iPad, as I already told you is a bit thicker and heavier than the iPad 2. The new iPad 4 comes in two models : One is with WiFi and the latter is WiFi + Cellular.
