Apple iPad with Retina Display (4th Gen, 2012)

This fourth-generation iPad has so much in common with the third generation released in March 2012 that we decided to forego many of the features here because we already discussed them in detail last March.
Pros:
  • Retina display
  • Small text is easy to read
  • iOS 6 has tons of features
  • Battery life
  • Lots of apps
  • A6X processor
Cons:
  • Non-expandable memory
  • Proprietary port / Closed "world" that may turn some off
  • Maps still behind the competition
  • Will the tiny Lightning connector be sturdy enough for docking stations

The 4th generation iPad is an outstanding improvement on an already fantastic product. Nothing revolutionary in terms of newness. Though there was no need to completely redefine the iPad.

Apple iPad 4 (4G Version) Review

We were all taken aback when Apple released this fourth-generation iPad, not least because it came out at the same time as the iPad Mini , and only six months after the third-gen device had been released. Enter some angry Apple fans who had just paid out for a device that was already out of date.
Pros:
  • Great Retina display
  • Amazingly good battery life
  • Nice range of apps
  • 4G support
  • improved FaceTime camera
Cons:
  • Not terribly portable
  • Lacks memory card slot

iPad 4

Engadget - Tim Stevens : "Twice as fast, better battery life, same cost. What more do we need to say? The new iPad is a hit on all fronts -- but it of course won't be received that way by all.

iPad 4 vs iPad 3: spot the differences

During the event where the iPad Mini was announced, Apple also introduced a new normal-sized iPad. We compared this new iPad 'Retina' with the last iPad. Then referred to as the 'new' iPad, we will now call it iPad 3, and the Retina will be called the iPad 4.

Apple's new iPad remains the tablet to beat, but this is a minor upgrade over its predecessor

Less than eight months after Apple launched the 3rd Generation iPad (called the "new iPad"), there's a new new iPad in town. The 4th Generation iPad is a minor upgrade to the previous model but the biggest benefit for Australian users is compatible 4G connectivity.
Pros:
  • 4G capable in Australia
  • Improved front-facing camera
  • Quality app ecosystem
Cons:
  • Only a minor upgrade over 3rd Gen
  • Lightning accessories are expensive
  • Gets warm with regular use
