SAN FRANCISCO >> Apple's new iPad model, with a sharper screen and a faster processor, will go on sale in the U.S. and six other countries next Friday, the company confirmed Wednesday.
The new features mean the iPad will be slightly thicker and heavier than the iPad 2.
Prices aren't changing from the previous models. They will start at $499. Versions capable of accessing cellular networks will cost $629 to $829.
However, Apple is keeping the basic model of the iPad 2 in production, and dropping the price to $399.
Apple said the new display will be sharper than the high-definition television set in the living room. The company says it will show more saturated colors than previous models.
The company said the iPad is powered by a new chip with four processing cores, for smoother graphics.
