The Apple iPad 3 (A1430) — The iPad Gets Retina

Released in March 2012, the third-generation iPad (officially marketed simply as ”the new iPad”) introduced the most significant display upgrade in iPad history: the Retina display. With a resolution of 2048×1536 pixels on a 9.7-inch screen — four times the pixel count of the iPad 2 — the Retina display transformed the visual experience of using an iPad, making text appear as sharp as printed ink and photographs display with stunning clarity. The A1430 is the cellular model, adding 4G LTE connectivity for the first time in iPad history.

The Retina Revolution

The Retina display’s 264 pixels per inch exceeded the resolving ability of the human eye at normal viewing distances — a threshold Apple called ”Retina” quality. In practice, this meant text became genuinely sharp rather than visibly pixelated, images gained extraordinary detail, and the overall visual experience of the iPad leapt forward dramatically. The Retina display required a new Apple A5X processor with significantly enhanced GPU performance just to drive the increased pixel count at acceptable frame rates.

4G LTE

The addition of 4G LTE connectivity in the cellular models dramatically increased download speeds compared to the 3G of earlier iPads, making streaming video and large file downloads genuinely practical over mobile networks for the first time.
