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...

        Yes I agree to the review that the new processor is amazing. And that's because it is made by SAMSUNG.

          Why is everyone making such a big deal out of this FaceTime crap? Isn't this basically a Skype ripoff written for iDevices? I know Apple likes to "reinvent" but this is plain ridiculous. However they call it it will just be video telephony, NOTHING more and come to think of it, it was invented near the end of the 19th century.

            If you look at Ipad3, the only difference with Ipad4 is the processor. Is there any feature new in Ipad4 that Ipad3 don't have?

              Anonymous, 14 Nov 2012Duh. As the market expands and matures, of course Apple's ... moreIt's easy to say that just now, but Android overtaking Apple's marketshare in the tablet sector was a laughable scenario a mere year ago.

                    Seriously? Lightning connector as a positive just because now you don't have to have twice as many cables and such after Apple forced iPhone5 users to dump all their existing stuff for new expensive gubbins?

                    Whatever dude !! :/

                        Doesn't matter if Android has 700,000 apps. Most of them are garbage and don't work well with all devices.

There are more tablets being sold overall. The only thing that matters is that they keep their sales numbers up.

                                Actually is good spec wise, good graphic chip but it's still a pain to play HD videos. Gsmarena states that... and i know it... to bad you have one of the best graphics and screens and play VGA files.. I can see it's s a clear rip off for iPad 3 owners. Still talking about those 200.000 Retina apps... i find them expensive. They (Apple) and most of you... users, forget that after paying $500 i have to pay $3+ for every single of those Retina apps. I understand that quality comes at a price but Android makes more sense. And as a tablet UI iOS will suck for me every single time i see that iPhone screen just maxed to 9,7 inch. You are missing so many features that Android Tablets like the Note 10.1 have in the Tablet UI department...

                                  the iPad 3rd gen should've had the A6 processor and the front HD camera when it came out, this is daylight robbery!!
