  • 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
  • Front facing camera still only VGA quality Look and Feel...
  • No real gain to main CPU performance
  • Signficantly longer charging time
  • 16GB a tight fit for growing apps
  • Anemic front camera
  • No Siri (yet)
  • 4G won't work in the UK
  • 16GB storage will fill up very quickly
  • No strong reason for most earlier iPad owners to upgrade
  • No Siri personal-assistant feature
  • HDMI
  • SD-card adapters cost extra
  • Still lacking Flash support
  • USB port
  • Or built-in card slot
  • Slightly increased weight
  • IOS 5.1 still lacks large-screen optimizations
  • Bottom left side gets warm
  • Can't FaceTime over 4G
  • 50MB limit for iTunes downloads over 4G
  • Front camera doesn't do HD
  • 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
  • No camera settings. 4G data usage is difficult to monitor. Apps are starting to strain the processor
  • Largest tablet battery but also the biggest power drain and slowest recharge time

  • No Siri
  • The new iPad is slightly heavier than last year's model
  • Apps and movies optimized for the screen might take up more space
  • And ports for HDMI
  • USB
  • And SD require adapters
  • Not enough noteworthy enhancements with iOS 5.1
  • 4G not available in UK yet
  • Lack of killer new feature means this isn't a must-have upgrade for Ipad 2 owners
  • But viewed as a standalone tablet it's the best around
  • Aside from the Retina display
  • The latest iPad lacks mindblowing new features that advance the state of the tablet art
  • No 128GB option
  • Slightly larger and heavier

  • Abstract:  Here it is, the new iPad. After much hype about the new Apple product, we're here to go over just how this hunk of metal and plastic fared in our labs. While the screen is certainly the best we've ever seen, the battery isn't, and it lacks the type of per...

  • Now that we've finished testing the 3rd gen. iPad, what we've seen so far is very impressive.Its screen is amazing for a tablet, it has the same established operating system that other iOS devices have, and it doesn't try to re-invent the wheel. Many of t...

  • Screen, HSPA+, faster processor, largest number of tablet specific apps
  • No weight reduction over previous model, no increase in battery life, high resolution apps take up more storage space
  • Still the best tablet on the block, but more evolution rather than revolution...

  • Truly stunning screen, exceptionally user-friendly, excellent audio, unbeatable selection of apps, movies and music, flawless build quality
  • A touch heavier and thicker than iPad 2, charging takes ages, more internal storage would be nice
  • So, with our biggest complaint being that we'd really like more space to store more things on it, it's clear that we're rather enamoured with Apple's latest tech-rectangle. It's as easy to use as ever, it still has the biggest music, movie and app stores...

  • Retina display, much better camera, same price structure as previous generation
  • 4G features not available in UK
  • The new iPad is just that: The iPad, updated for a new year and millions of new iPad users. It's not smaller or lighter, but it's got a remarkable screen, a much better rear camera, and support for cellular networking that can run at Wi-Fi speeds. It's th...

  • Amazing, stunning screen, Powerful graphics, Good battery life, Excellent build quality, Good value
  • Poor connectivity, Annoying artificial limitations, Need iTunes to get content on it, No expandable memory, Thicker and heavier than most premium tablets
  • There's no denying that the Apple new iPad is a stylish, desirable tablet, and its Retina Display is simply stunning. It also packs plenty of power under the hood thanks to its A5X SoC, combining a dual-core processor with quad-core graphics – all without...
