The whole world got to see and know what the third-gen tablet had to offer to the people, during the Apple launch event held in San Francisco. The thing which caught the attention of people was that the Apple executives were referring to the new device as ‘the new iPad’ and thus, that became its official name. The rest of the features were also showcased during the event, and people found out that the new iPad has a Retina display, an A5X chip, Voice Dictation and LTE networking amongst other things, which has made the new iPad one of the most sought-after devices currently available. The Apple executives also revealed that AT&T and Verizon, the two carriers, will be providing the personal hotspot feature on the new iPad. According to sources, Verizon will be providing the 4G hotspot, while AT&T hasn’t made an announcement!
Albert Aydin, a Verizon Spokesperson, said that the new iPad on the Verizon wireless networks will have the hotspot feature. The 4G tablets have this feature and customers who sign up for the $30 for 2GB plan will also have access to the hotspot feature.
On the other hand, AT&T is working with Apple in order to enable the hotspot feature in the future and thus, they currently don’t offer it.
For those of you who don’t know, the hotspot feature allows users to share their data connection with five other Apple devices. Announcements are still to be made regarding whether or not other launch partners such as Rogers, Bell and TELUS will be supporting this feature or not.
All in all, in order to support the LTE networking and other features, the new iPad has a larger battery to provide the device with the necessary power.
