  • Heavy
  • big
  • mobile data support is £100 premium

Review: Apple's fourth-generation iPad

Arguably the biggest surprise product debut from Apple in 2012 is the new fourth-generation iPad, a tablet that replaces its predecessor and doubles its performance after less than a year on the market.

The iPad 4 feel like something akin to "Schr?dinger's iPad", neither old nor new, not a minor fix and yet not a full update. Apple has always waited a year if not more to update iOS devices in the past, and the iPad 4 coming only 7 months after the iPad 3 seems only to compound that feeling.

Apple iPad (Fourth-Generation) (16GB/32GB/64GB/128GB)

Rating the fourth-generation iPad presents a challenge that has come up several times before with new Apple products: how strong of a recommendation can we offer for a product that is substantially the same as its predecessor, improving in some ways while taking steps back in others
Pros:
  • A technologically small but clear improvement upon early 2012's impressive third-generation iPad
  • featuring the same screen and rear camera
  • coupled with a faster processor and improved front camera.
Cons:
  • Switch to Lightning port currently offers nearly zero benefit to consumers, while considerably increasing both the cost of and need for new accessories
  • Continues to require longer recharging time than pre-Retina iPads when used with its own charger, and over six hours when charged from prior "Made...

Of course it's the best tablet out there... It's made by CrApple and this is CNET. Enough said. Thankfully it's not a Lomas review which never fail to morph into a no holds barred CrApple love in. I have never really been the greatest fan of Apple products.
Pros:
  • Another CrApple product designed to make the company more money from the flocks of iSheep that will undoubtedly "upgrade" after only a few months of having the last one
Cons:
  • It's another technically sub par CrApple product marketed to brainwashed iSheep to get their money from them

The fourth iPad is here, and is a solid contender for any consumer.

After kicking the tires on the fourth iteration of the iPad, it's easy to see that, although it's an incremental update, the newest iPad is the best one of the bunch. Not only does the new processor make the experience much more rewarding, but the Lightning dock connector saves a bunch of hassle...

iPad 4 Review Roundup: The Real New iPad

So the iPad 4 is the new iPad, or rather the new new iPad because the new iPad was first the iPad 3, which has now become the old and discontinued new iPad half a year later. Yeah, it's awkward. But anyway. This new iPad is just the same as the old iPad except it's a little bit faster.

Apple iPad with retina display review Review

Apple's latest iPad is the best iPad yet, even if its no longer the smallest, or the cheapest. As such, this model now becomes the height of tablet luxury, and the one to investigate if you care about having the best screen, and the best compatibility with cutting-edge apps.
Pros:
  • A6X chip delivers even more speed
  • 4G-compatible in the UK
  • Best-in-class app selection
Cons:
  • Still feels heavy to hold in one hand
  • Lightning port means older chargers and accessories won't work
