We believe technology is at its very
best when it’s 1____, when you’re 2_____ only of what you’re doing not the 3_____
you’re doing that can become anything
you want it to be. And that’s why so many people in so many different 4____
are using it for so many different things. It’s a more personal experience
with technology than people have ever had. And now with the new iPad we are 5_____
that experience by dramatically improving the fundamental elements that define
it. We gave it a 6____ new A5X chip for stunning graphics, a 5-megapixel iSight
camera with our 7____ optics, the speed of 4G LTE. We created amazing new
software that redefines what you can do with music, movies, and photos. And
all of this is brought to life on the Retina Display, the highest 8____
display ever on a mobile device.
The display is what the iPad is all about, so when you enhance the 9____,
you enhance everything. In the Retina Display on third-generation iPad is just
spectacular. It’s got a resolution of 2048 by 1536 that’s 3.1 million 10____,
four times more than the previous iPad and over a million more than what’s
called high 11_____ on other devices. And we’ve packed all these pixels into
a display that’s just 9.7 inches. But engineering it was not as simple as
just jamming in more pixels. A pixel is made up of red, green, and blue subpixels
with the signal telling each one when and how much to light up. That’s how
all colors are created. But when you
squeeze four times the pixels into the same space signals can get crossed,
colors become 12_____ and images get fuzzy. To solve this we had to elevate the pixels
onto a different plane and separate them from the 13____. It’s a major 14_____
and it’s the key to making the pixels so small and so close together that a
human eye can’t even distinguish them. So type looks razor-sharp and you’ll see
details and photos that you never knew where there.
A wider color 15____ brings out even more detail and gives you colors
that are incredibly rich, deep, and 16_____. This isn’t just the most
advanced display you’ve ever held in your hand, it’s the most advanced
display you’ve ever seen. The iPad is known
for its fluid 17____ performance, but because the Retina Display has four times
the pixels to drive you need a lot more power. So when we designed the new A5X
chip we gave it a quad-core graphics.
It makes everything you do feel really fast and smooth. And it’s so efficient the new iPad still
gets the same great 10 hour battery life. To go with the beautiful display we added a
new iSight camera. It takes five
megapixel photos using the same advanced optics we developed for the iPhone 4S
and it shoots gorgeous 1080p HD 18____, up to 30 frames per second. But one
of the biggest breakthroughs in the new iPad
is its next-generation wireless technology. It works with more 19____ than any mobile
device ever, so it connects to more of the world’s fastest data networks all
the way up to 4G LTE. With all the
amazing technology built into the new iPad we had an opportunity to create
software that is truly 20_____. And that meant completing the iLife family of
apps. There’s a new version of garage
band that lets you wirelessly connect up to 4 iOs devices so you and your
friends can jam and record together. To complement the iSight camera and the
new iPad we made iMovie even better. Now you can 21____ 1080 p HD video and turn
it into a Hollywood-style movie 22___ in minutes. All on a single device you can take with you
everywhere. And now we’re bringing
iPhoto to the iPad. It’s unbelievably
powerful and so simple to use. The
smart browsing feature lets you go through lots of shots really quickly. You just double tap on a photo and it finds others
that look just like it so you can pick your favorite. With multi-touch gestures you can make your
blue sky bluer, you can apply dozens of 23____ quality effects with just a
few taps. And with photo journals you can share your photos in ways you never
could before. These new iLife apps open up all kinds of possibilities for the
iPad.
The iPad introduced the world to an entirely new way to experience 24___. And now with the new iPad we take an
experience that millions people love and made it 25____ better. It’s the
ultimate iPad the iPad and we think it’s going to 26____ how you see and do just
about everything.
