iPad’s beautiful 9.7-inch Retina display delivers gorgeous detail and vivid colors and features a higher-resolution touch sensor, which enables Apple Pencil support. Available for purchase separately, Apple Pencil delivers a remarkably fluid and natural drawing experience. Advanced sensors measure both pressure and tilt, and provide pixel-perfect accuracy and low latency. iPad’s palm rejection technology even makes it possible to rest your hand on the screen while you use Apple Pencil.

The new iPad features the Apple-designed A10 Fusion chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, delivering 40 percent faster CPU and 50 percent faster graphics performance2 for seamless multi-tasking and graphics-intensive apps.

The new iPad, available in space gray, silver and gold colors, is a stunning, large viewfinder for immersive AR experiences. Its Retina display, powerful chip, enhanced cameras and advanced sensors, including a gyroscope and accelerometer for accurate motion tracking, are designed to support the next generation of AR apps.
