Our full review on Apple's latest and greatest third-generation iPad tablet after a few weeks of use.
Apple's new iPad isn't a revolutionary upgrade to the iPad 2 , but the combination of a superb display and great software means it remains by far and away the best tablet on the market.
Outstanding display; Slick user experience and software; Dual-channel HSPA+ speeds
Not 4G-capable in Australia; Thicker & heavier than predecessor; Gets warm during regular use
The iPad has earned its reputation. While there is strong competition from the likes of Samsung and Asus, neither of these companies have (yet) been able to rival the iPad in terms of screen resolution and software experience.
+ Screen transforms the way you consume digital content
Let's face the elephant in the room first. The 'New iPad Wi-Fi + 4G' as Apple calls it - I'll use iPad 3 - may be branded 4G but that's eff-all value to us Brits. The tablet's cellular radio doesn't work with the frequencies being proposed for UK 4G communications.
Apple's third iPad is the most impressive yet, boasting a Retina Display, A5X processor and an upgraded 5 megapixel iSight camera
launches: hilarious, aren't they? The whole world (it can seem) works itself into a tizzy about when they're going to be and what's going to be unveiled.Jumping from the iPad 2's 1024x768 screen to one with a stupendously large 2048x1536 resolution makes a huge difference to just about everything...
Truly stunning screen; exceptionally user-friendly; excellent audio; unbeatable selection of apps; movies and music; flawless build quality
A touch heavier and thicker than iPad 2; charging takes ages; more internal storage would be nice
Simply called "iPad," Apple's third-generation tablet improves on many of the features that helped its predecessors dominate the market.
If you are an iPad 'one' user, or a user of any other tablet available in the market, then you should consider the upgrade to the New iPad. If you are an iPad 2 user however, we suggest you skip this iteration and wait for the fourth generation iPad as that will be a better value for money upgrade...
Retina Display; Better rear camera; Snappier performance
Slightly heavier than the iPad 2; 4G capabilities unavailable in India; Apps will consumer more space; courtesy new display
If you read onscreen, then going back to the iPad 2 after using the new iPad even for an hour or two is going to feel like the worst kind of pain. The text clarity is just that much better.
Apple just made the new iPad official and it comes with a Retina Display that goes up to 2048 x 1536 resolution with a pixel density of 264ppi. Apple's existing apps will be scaled up to the high-res display and will be encouraging developers to do the same
+ Retina Display; + Tried and true design; + Good Battery life
- No LTE for most of us; - No major changes; - Apple iPad; - USB Dock Connector; - Charger; - 3.5mm headphone
