Apple replaces iPad 2 with Retina display model

The iPad with Retina display is available in a Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi with cellular model, and comes with an A6X chip, 5 megapixel iSight camera and LTE support.

Apple senior vice president Phillip Schiller says the iPad with Retina display is a dramatic upgrade in power, performance and value from the iPad 2. The iPad 2 had an A5 chip, 3 megapixel camera and a 1,024 x 768 pixel display - compared with the Retina display's 2,048 x 1.536 pixels.

Apple's new lineup now has four tablets at three prices:

iPad Air starting at $499

iPad Retina display starting at $399

Apple's tablet is compatible with AT&T, Sprint, T-mobile or Verizon carriers.
