So Apple's latest worst-kept secret is out – it's released a new iPad to keep the Android pack at bay. And while it's a stunner visually, you'll see that iPad 2 is an iteration in terms of its core specs. Here's everything you need to know about the new iPad 2. 1. iPad 2 is lighter and thinner Apple called it an all-new design. And it is. The main physical thing is that the new iPad is thinner - 33 per cent thinner, clocking it at 8.8mm. Incredibly, that's thinner than the iPhone 4 which clocks in at 9.3mm. It's also 15 per cent lighter, which is welcome. You wouldn't want it to be completely lightweight, but a bit less weight is good
