In pictures: Apple's new iPad

This morning, Apple officially announced its next tablet, ending months of gossip, rumours and speculation. Check out the rest of the gallery for an overview of the new iPad, plus a side-by-side comparison to the iPad 2.

'Resolutionary'. That's the catchphrase of Apple's latest iPad tablet, which has a 9.7in retina display with 2048x1536 resolution.

The new HD display is the main star of the new iPad. It boasts a total of 3.1 million pixels at 264ppi, with a 44 per cent increase in colour saturation.

The new iPad is slightly thicker than before, measuring 9.4mm (compared to the iPad 2's 8.8mm). Presumably this concession was necessary to pack in the new HD display. Otherwise, the new iPad doesn't stray too far from the iPad 2 in the looks department.

iPad 2 resolution vs. new iPad resolution. While this image from Apple is obviously a mock-up, it does give an indication of how sharp the new screen will be. This should be of benefit to readers of eBooks.

The iPad 3 also comes with a new microphone key, which can be used to access the inbuilt Siri tool. Popular apps such as iPhoto, iWork, iMovie, GarageBand and iBook have also recieved updates. Battery life, meanwhile, is rated at 10 hours; the same as the iPad 2.

Here's how the new iPad (left) stacks up against the iPad 2 (right).

New iPad display vs. iPad 2 display. The difference in screen resolution is obvious.

The new Apple iPad will be powered by a dual-core A5X processor and quad-core powered graphics.

Faster browsing and multi-tasking are immediate advantages that the new A5X processor will bring to the iPad 3 (sorry, "new iPad").

The new iPad will be hitting US shelves with 4G capability. However, it only supports 700MHz and 2100MHz spectrum bands which is incompatible with Australia's only current LTE network (Telstra's 1800MHz 4G network).

The new iPad's camera has also been upgraded to 5-megapixels (the iPad 2's snapper came in at under a megapixel).

Other camera improvements include auto-exposure, noise reduction, improved image stabilisation and 1080p video recording. The 2048x1036px display should make photos look better even when zoomed in: ideal for the new iPhoto app with its plethora of editing options (see next slide).

New to the iLife suite is iPhoto, tricked out with multi-touch gesture control for sorting, enhancing and retouching your snaps. There are Journals (galleries) and effects, plus the ability to create collages for sharing on Facebook.

Popular apps such as iPhoto, iWork, iMovie and GarageBand have received fresh updates that take advantage of the new iPad's Retina display. The new iLife suite can be downloaded now – iPhoto, iMovie 1.3 and GarageBand 1.2 will set you back $5.49 each from the App Store. You'll pay $10.49 for Keynote 1.6, Pages 1.6 and Numbers 1.6. Updates are available for free to existing customers.

The new iPad's additional grunt is expected to boost the tablet's gaming capabilities. If Apple is to be believed, the system's quad core graphics are four times faster than Nvidia's Tegra 3 offering. We'll reserve judgement for our full review.

Apple is launching 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models of the new iPad, available to buy on March 16th in black or white. The Wi-Fi model starts from $A539 for the 16GB model, $A649 for the 32GB and $A759 for the 64GB. For Wi-Fi + 4G the 16GB will set you back $A679, the 32GB $A789 and 64GB $A899.

The iPad 2 will continue to be sold alongside the new iPad and has had its price reduced to $A429 for the 16GB Wi-Fi model and $A569 for Wi-Fi + 3G.
