The new iPad has 4G LTE network, Retina screen and a strong A5X chip system,so it will definitely need more power. According to ZDNet’s message, the power of the hardware is from a group of 11666mAh battery, 70% more than the iPad 2 battery capacity.

what is amazing is not teh increasing of the battery capacity but it has yet became excessive thickening and heavier. ZDNet said that this means that Apple has mastered the method for lithium-ion battery Capacity substantially. ”

Said truthfully, then the next generation iPhone (we really can not call for the iPhone 5 …) should be much higher than the iPhone will be able to power on 4S, and will not increase the size and weight when uses the same screen of the Retina, and increase the 4G LTE capacity.

So you can pay tribute to Apple’s battery laboratory and production line. I wonder if you, like us, are looking forward to this new iFixit disassembled the iPad the (first half of 2012), to see the new battery’s true capacity.
