CPU
1 GHz dual-core Apple A5
Introduced
January 2011
Discontinued

Tablet PC by Apple

A bit smaller, one-third thinner, and a little lighter than the original iPad , the iPad 2 also moved the iPad line to Apple’s dual-core A5 processor. It was also the first iPad available in white or black.

Perhaps the most important new feature is the addition of  rear- and front-facing FaceTime cameras, making this the first iPad able to connect to iPhones, iPod touches, and Macs that support FaceTime.

For the first time, the iPad was also available in a CDMA “+3G” wireless version for use with Verizon and other CDMA carriers – for an additional $130.
