CUPERTINO – Apple have released a new model of the iPad tablet which they claim is so thin it only exists in two dimensions of space.
The newly named iPad 2D features a design reminiscent of a basic polygon shape and features a smaller bezel which shrinks the footprint of the tablet down to just the x and y axis.
“Meet the new iPad,” said Apple CEO Tim Cook before accidentally giving himself a paper cut as he grabbed the new iPad 2D.
‘Thinnest yet’
This is the thinnest revision of Apple’s market leading tablet and only fractionally thicker them the picture of the iPad on the packaging.
Speaking to a captivated audiences, Cook said the device was 1000% thinner and could not be seen when laid on a flat surface and would be available from just $499.
Tablet manufacturers have fought to compete with the computing giant but have again been left behind by Apple who have manage to completely remove the third dimension from their tablet.
Cook dismissed the growing threat from rivals, saying: “Everyone seems to making a tablet, but we believe they are unnecessarily using an extra dimension not required in today’s new world of post three-dimensional computing.”
Amazon and Google have already announced small tablets, but those will not be considered bulky and unwieldy. Indeed, many current gen iPad owners now consider their 9mm thick device as “a little bit bulky”.
In response, Samsung are reportedly working on out doing Apple by releasing a device that only exists in one point in space.
Faster lighter thinner
Earlier his month analysts warned there was a risk Apple would be unable to deliver new devices in time for the holidays but Cook confirmed the lack of third dimension allowed production to be completed in record time.
“It was only a matter of time before Apple engineers figured out how to get all that tech into a virtually flat plane,” said tech analyst Stephen Smith.
“Every year the iPad gets thinner so it makes sense to do away with depth altogether.”
When asked if the devices thinness could cause a problem in everyday use, one Apple fan responded:
“I’ll only put a cover on it anyway.”
