Apple's 9th generation iPad, featuring the A13 Bionic chipset and a 10.2-inch Retina display with True Tone, will start from RM1,499.
Powered by the A13 Bionic chipset, it is claimed to deliver a 20% performance boost over its predecessor, up to 3 times faster than the best-selling Chromebook, and up to 6 times faster than the best-selling Android tablet. The 10.2-inch Retina display comes with a light TrueTone sensor which will automatically adjust the screen to the temperature of the room.
It houses a 12 MP f/2.4 selfie camera with a 122-degree field of view and the Centre Stage technology. The Centre Stage technology pans and zooms in a camera's field of view to get the perfect shot during a FaceTime call or a video conference. It also packs an 8 MP wide rear camera.
Running on the iPadOS 15, the new iPad comes in 2 storage variants: 64 GB and 256 GB. Other new features include Split View and Slide Over, new widgets layout, Quick Notes, Translate app, Live Text, Focus, and a new Portrait Mode in FaceTime.
