Apple executives revealed the new iPad a couple of days ago at the launch event which was held in San Francisco. The Apple executives showcased the many features present in the new iPad (wasn’t named the iPad 3). Yes, the new iPad is the official name which Apple has given to the third-gen tablet. Anyway, the features that the new iPad has include: Retina display, LTE networking and a quad-core engine. All of these features consume a lof of power. In the presentation it was also revealed that the new iPad has the same 10-hour battery life which was seen in the iPad 2. One of the things which were not included in the presentation was that this new battery is a 42.5 watt-hour rechargeable lithium-polymer battery thus, capable of providing the device with the power it needs.
The new battery which is featured in the new iPad, as mentioned above, is a 42.5 watt-hour rechargeable lithium-polymer battery which has 70% more capacity as compared to the battery found in the iPad 2 which was only a 25-watt-hour battery. You can see the image of the iPad 2 battery in the image below and judging by its size you can probably assume that the battery present in the new iPad will cover most of the device’s surface.
Though the battery life is the same, the bigger battery is necessary to provide the Retina display, quad-core graphics and the LTE networking with the power they need to function. The A5X chip is currently rumored to have double the RAM and thus, it would require such a big battery.
The size of the battery is probably the reason the new iPad is thicker than the iPad 2, which means that the new iPad has 9.4 mm thick frame. Either way, the new iPad is experiencing strong sales.
