价格
Price
起价和iPad 2一样：16GB版499美元，32GB版599美元，64GB版699美元。但苹果将16GB版iPad 2的价格下调了100美元至399美元。
Starting price remains the same as the iPad 2: $499 for 16 gigabytes of memory, $599 for 32GB and $699 for 64GB. However, Apple is cutting the 16 GB iPad 2 by $100 to $399.
发售日期

屏幕分辨率
Screen resolution

1536 x 2048 pixel resolution, double that of the iPad 2.
显示屏
Display
每英寸264像素，也是iPad 2的两倍。由于像素非常高，苹果将之称为"视网膜"显示屏，意思就是在适当的距离内，显示屏的超高像素密度已超过人眼能分辨的范围。
264 pixels per inch, also double that of the iPad 2. There are so many pixels that Apple calls this a 'retina' display, meaning the eye can't distinguish the pixels at a comfortable distance.
无线连接
Wireless capability
从3G升级为更快的4G LTE网络。（4G版价格多出130美元，iPad 2与其3G版也是相差这个价格。）
Upgraded from 3G to the faster 4G LTE network from AT&T and Verizon. (The pricing bumps up by $130 for 4G, the same as with the iPad and 3G.)
外观
Form factor
由于内置更强大的芯片和其他新特性，新一代iPad比iPad 2略重、略厚，但高宽和宽度是一样的。
Packed with a stronger chip and other new features, the new iPad is slightly heavier and thicker. It has the same height and width, though.
重量：652克（iPad 2：601克）
Weight: 1.4 pounds (iPad 2: 1.33 lbs.)
厚度：9.4毫米（iPad 2：8.8毫米）
Depth: 9.4 millimeters (iPad 2: 8.8mm)

摄像头
Camera
新的iSight摄像头的分辨率为500万像素，有自动曝光和自动对焦功能。iPad 2的摄像头不到100万像素。
The new iSight camera boasts 5 megapixels, auto exposure and auto focus. The iPad 2 had a less-than 1 megapixel camera.
处理器
Processor
苹果说，新的A5X四核图形处理芯片的图形处理能力是iPad 2双核芯片的四倍。
Apple says the new A5X quad-core graphics chip gives it four times the graphics power than the dual-core chip in the iPad 2.

语音输入
Voice dictation
新一代iPad的麦克风支持多种语言的语音输入，包括英语、法语、德语和日语。
The new iPhone's microphone supports voice dictation in several languages including English, French, German and Japanese.
可能会让一些粉丝失望的是，Siri语音识别软件并没有从iPhone 4S上移植过来。

Color
有黑色和白色两种，跟iPad 2一样。
