But for all those folks who had still not heard of it, be informed that this is one of the most popular and the best selling product from Apple which had successfully registered a new trend among the people and this is where the tablet mania has all started and got popular. There are two variants of the iPad where one of it uses a SIM card to communicate and use the data connectivity while the other provides WiFi connectivity for the same. It boasts an impressive 9.7-inch LED-backlit display which is considered perfect for viewing multimedia contents and playing games.

The display screen is having a resolution of around 1024 x 768 pixels and it is also powered by the latest In-plane switching (IPS) technology which renders excellent output and ensures wide viewing angles and good color reproductions. It is also coated with oleophobic so as to facilitate the fingerprint resistance while using it and there is also the support of many different languages which can be displayed simultaneously.
