Apple iPad 4 review: Marching on

14 November 2012
Three Apple tablets in a single year. This is more than anyone asked for and yet, by some weird logic - or lack thereof, not too many for Apple to successfully sell. All fine and dandy, unless you got the iPad 3 - better luck next time if you were unfortunate enough to buy it in September...

So you want apple to take back the product, not because it's broken, not because it's flawed, but because they released a new product and forgot to mention it to you when you baught the iPad 3. You, my friend, are not thinking str8.

They release their flagship, then release another flagship a few months after, then release another flagship a few months after etc... Apple had to popularize their new lightening connector across all their iOS lineup. Some Apple store are taking back the ipad 3 and giving a 4

                So I got the ipad 3 exactly 13 days before the announcement of the iPad mini and ipad 4. Everyone was expecting the mini but no-one expected the iPad 4. The very next day I called Apple (South Africa) to say I wanted to return it and get the iPad 4 when it comes out. Apple said sorry, after 7 days they don't refund or return it (their policy in South Africa is 7 days). I explained to them in the past Apple released one every year and I was expecting that when I bought mine - they didn't care. I also have a iphone 4s. I can safely say after Apple sold me this expensive ipad 3 then went against their usual policy of a year between upgrades and then wouldnt return it - I will never buy another Apple product again, I will get a samsung galaxy and a samsung or microsoft tablet when i upgrade in a year or so.

                  Anonymous, 16 Nov 2012android DOESN'T have any good free appThey dont? I use only free apps and i think all of them are good. Many of them are exact same on iOS, just that they are not free on iOS.

                  Anyway, about ipad 4, this must be the all time low launch Apple had, boring boring boring. I will search for articles about advances in glue used on flypaper, im sure its more exiting, it has to be. Or about rat glue, if i get an ipad4 i already have the board.

                      Apple has taken a major feet in the tablet market. The change dne in ipad 3 to formulate ipad 4 is way better dan iphone 4s to iphone 5. The ipad 4 is the nly device in dis world to hav quad core graphics prossessor. Ipad 4 wont realy have any competion in market for some good amt of time. So overall a great tablet and surely very fast and snappy.

                        How sad is it that GSMArena can use the same picture for the iPad 3 and iPad 4
                        decided to compare the (The wifi + cellular versions) and literally the only difference was a different chipset and secondary camera :( smh I hope Apple stops making the iPad 3 cause it makes no sense in likfe

                              It's simple the reason why apple made the ipad 4 was to standardize the pod connection with the iphone 5. Although the real reason was to make more money but from people who can't tell the difference.
