Based on what we've learned from its latest tablet
Apple will be hardpressed to wow fourthgeneration iPad buyers in 2013. Let's unpack this
LTE support in the new iPad is indeed a killer feature
But it's not anything that could have led Tim Cook's keyn
Amazing display
LTE speeds
Comparable battery life with LTE
The editors didn't like
Only Verizon iPad offers wireless hotspot feature for now
AT&T may be coming soon
Nearly all updates to tech specs are used to beef up the "retina" display
Very few performance improvements over the iPad 2 otherwise
Still no Siri
Despite dictation su
The iPad remains a closed device on many levels and that's something you must live with once you enter Apple's world
IOS lacking some features
If you don't care for Retina or LTE
It's not a compelling upgrade over the iPad 2
Thicker and heavier
Runs a little warmer than the iPad 2
STILL no Flash video support
Slightly more sluggish power-up/-down than before
More things = bigger battery
Runs a bit warmer
Extra thickness makes some iPad 2 accessories incompatible
Comparatively little on-board storage
Especially for a HD-media-oriented device

No real gain to main CPU performance
Signficantly longer charging time
16GB a tight fit for growing apps
Anemic front camera
No Siri (yet)

HDMI

Slightly increased weight
IOS 5.1 still lacks large-screen optimizations

No innovations here
Just evolution
Still no microSD card slot
HDMI output
Or USB ports
FaceTime camera stinks
Slightly thicker and heavier (nitpicking here)
Thanks to that bigger battery
The iPad New lasts just as long as the iPad 2—an exactly-as-advertised 10 hours of real-world use and days upon days of standby time. But the differences end when charging time comes around. In our tests
It took up to twice

Abstract: Named not with a number but rather simply “The New iPad,” the third-generation device sports enough improvements that it can easily be declared the best tablet now available on the market. If you're still on the first edition, are using an inferior Androi...

Slightly heavier than iPad 2, limited design changes, battery not quite as good as iPad 2's

4G won't work in the UK, Thicker and heavier than iPad 2
