The all-new thinner and lighter design makes Apple iPad 2 even more comfortable to hold. It's even more powerful with the dual-core A5 chip, yet has the same 10 hours of battery life. With two cameras, you can make FaceTime video calls, record HD video, and put a twist on your snapshots in Photo Booth. And the iPad Smart Cover (not included) attaches magnetically and wakes up, stands up, and brightens up your iPad 2.
Please note that the iPad 2 will be eligible for a free over-the-air (OTA) iOS 7 upgrade starting September 18th, 2013.
