Just how thin is the new fourth-generation iPad? According to the company?s own product page, impossibly so.
The page describing the iPad?s design says quite prominently that the new iPad is 0.37 millimeters thin, or about the same thickness as the lead in a mechanical pencil. It?s also roughly the thickness of three or four human hairs stacked together.
We reviewed the fourth-generation iPad last week, but during our testing we failed to notice Apple had flattened the tablet to the point where it?s about as thick as four sheets of standard office paper. Perhaps we were holding it wrong?
No word on when Apple will be fixing the obvious typo, first spotted by an eagle-eyed Reddit user. In both the accompanying text and the official spec page, Apple lists the correct spec of 0.37 of an inch.
It?s not like Apple, known for its perfectionism, to make this kind of mistake, although the company recently announced the departure of iOS software chief Scott Forstall ? maybe he was also the company?s lead proofreader.

BONUS: iPad 4 Review
View As Slideshow ?Apple's Fourth-Generation iPad
The iPad 4 looks almost exactly the same as its predecessor, the iPad 3. Apart from the Lightning connector, they appear identical, but the iPad 4 has a much more powerful processor in the A6X. It also has a better front-facing camera and improved Wi-Fi connectivity. It still starts at $499 for a 16GB model (Wi-Fi only).
Back View
The back of the iPad 4 sports the familiar aluminum back.
Compared With iPad 3
Here's the iPad 4 (black) beside the iPad 3 (white).
Back Comparison
The two tablets are virtually identical.
Missing Capacity Label?
The iPad 3 has a label that shows the capacity, but the iPad 4 does not.
Lightning vs. Dock Connector
The new Lightning connector is the only obvious physical difference between the two tablets. Although the connector "modernizes" the iPad, it doesn't enjoy the design benefits the iPhone 5 gained from shrinking the dock connector.

FaceTime Camera
The front-facing camera on the iPad 4 is now a 720p FaceTime camera. You can see how its performance has improved from the iPad 3 (left). Not only are images sharper, but color is improved, too.
