We all know that Apple together with the genius of Steve Jobs, changed the world of technology. One of those changes was the launch of the first iPad, a device that nobody had seen until then and that was placed halfway between a computer and a smartphone.
Steve Jobs and Apple had already revolutionized the entire technological world in 1984 with the presentation of the Macintosh 128K, and they did it again with the first iPad.
The first iPad

It was January 27, 2010 when Steve Jobs presented to the world, from the city of San Francisco, the first iPad.
That first iPad had a 9.7-inch screen and was capable of performing both the same tasks as a smartphone (but with a much better visualization due to its large screen), like those of a computer that we all had in our homes (but being able to take it anywhere, since it barely weighed).
Its dimensions were 24.28 centimeters long, 18.97 wide, 13.4 millimeters thick and a weight of 680 grams.
The screen was IPS type with a resolution of 1,024 x 768 pixels, giving it 132 pixels per inch.
The processor was the Apple A4 1GHz single core, with up to 128GB of storage and a256 MB RAM memory.
The iPad also surprised by its price, since it was expected that it would only be available to the we althiest people and it was not. The 16 GB version cost $499, the 32 GB version went for $599, while the version with more than 64 GB went on sale for $699.
