Apple CEO Tim Cook unveiled the iPad 3 to reporters in San Francisco Wednesday.
The new model will have a sharper screen and a faster processor, and will also be slightly thicker and heavier than the iPad 2.
The iPad 3 goes on sale on March 16 in several countries around the world, including the U.S.
Prices start at $499.
"We've taken it to a whole new level and we are redefining the category that Apple created with the original iPad," Cook said.
