Apple released the Apple iPad 2022 and it comes in a number of colors. The new iPad 2022 has an aluminum build at the back and the frames are also aluminum. It has a Liquid Retina IPS LCD display with the 1st Gen stylus support. The display has an 80% screen-to-body ratio with scratch-resistant glass and oleophobic coating for protection. It has a 1640 resolution and can reach up to 500 nits of brightness outdoors. The display is fast and responsive to touch but it has only a 60Hz refresh rate.
It runs on iPad OS 16 and the Apple iPad 2022 is powered by the Apple A14 Bionic chipset. It is capable of handling any task thrown at it, but most of us wished Apple used the A15 Bionic. The A15 Bionic is what Apple used to power the new iPhone 14 Pro Max. It comes with 6GB RAM and 256GB storage space. The RAM and storage are enough to optimize performance on the new iPad.
There is a 12MP camera at the back of the Apple iPad 2022 and it is capable of recording 4K videos. It also comes with another 12MP camera for front-facing pictures and it can shoot 1080p videos. IPads are not known to have great cameras like iPhones. The cameras are there to snap documents most of the time. It has a fingerprint scanner mounted at the top with a 28.6Wh battery that can last a whole day.
