Apple has introduced a new iPad with crisper screen, 4G speed and other enhancements, the expectation for this new product by Apple are sky-scraping.
Given its market supremacy in tablets, Apple perhaps doesn't have to wow consumers with a fresh overhaul. But expectations are sky-high just the same.
Apple will discover whether its latest changes will be enough to get consumers to line up at its stores when its new iPad goes on sale a week from Friday.
The iPad that Apple CEO Tim Cook introduced Wednesday is faster and offers a dramatically sharper display but otherwise looks quite similar to past iPads. And whether the new iPad will appeal strictly to folks who haven't yet bought one is a key question facing the iconic company as it launches its first major new product since the 2011 death of co-founder Steve Jobs. Apple is increasingly dependent on "post-PC devices" — including the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch — which accounted for 76% of its revenue last year.
