Apple launches the new iPad with the A13 chip |
Apple just released the latest version of its most popular tablet, the regular iPad. This new model is the 9th generation iPad, which was launched in 2010 and features a new processor called the A13 Bionic.
The powerful A13 electronic chip brings more power and functionality to the most popular iPad while maintaining a day of battery life.
There's also a new 12MP front camera that supports the Center Stage feature, which debuted on the iPad Pro last year. This allows users to enjoy interactive video calls.
As the user moves, the Center Stage will automatically move the camera to maintain the field of view. When other people join you, the camera recognizes them as well and gently zooms out to include them in the conversation.
Center Stage makes FaceTime video calling and third-party video calling apps more natural.
For those who've seen the iPad in the past few years, the rest of the iPad looks like the ninth.
The company said the new processor is 20% faster than the previous model. This makes the new iPad three times faster than the best-selling Chromebook and six times faster than the best-selling Android tablet.
The 10.2-inch screen is the same size and resolution as before, but now supports True Tone, which can automatically adjust the screen's color temperature based on ambient light.
True Tone technology makes images more natural and provides users with a more comfortable viewing experience in all lighting environments.

The latest version of the iPad comes with iPadOS 15. It was announced earlier this year. It includes improvements to the iPad Home screen, app organization, and multitasking functionality.
In addition, the increased performance allows users to run advanced apps and games smoothly on the cheaper device.
The A13 Bionic's Neural Engine also supports high-level machine learning functions. It contains real-time text in iPadOS 15. It uses device intelligence to identify text in images so that users respond to it.
The iPad is considered the most attractive because it is the most economical model in this group. This year, the company increased the base storage capacity to 64GB and maintained a starting price of $329.
The device is also compatible with the Apple Pencil and the first generation Apple Smart Keyboard. It's available in silver or space gray and can be ordered starting today (September 14) with delivery scheduled for next week.
In addition, the iPad's initial storage capacity is 64GB, which is twice the storage of the previous generation, to bring more value to users.
There is also a 256GB option for users who want to store more apps, games, photos, and videos.
"The iPad has never been so important for work, study, and communication," says Apple. We're excited to bring one of the biggest updates ever to our most popular iPad. Use Stage with the A13 Bionic Center for the most engaging video calling and double the storage space. The new iPad offers advanced features, versatility, and simplicity at an incredible price.
