Techno: New iPad (iPad 3) vs iPad 4

We went to Harvey Norman as usual "Jalan Jalan Cari Pasal". Thinking of buying an iPad. New iPad would be nice..hmm..Surprisingly the salesman informed us that the 4th generation iPad has been released to completely replace the 3rd generation, and has now been named "iPad with Retina display." Tak sampai Malaysia lagi..So let see the difference..

Screen : Same

Camera : iPad 3 comes with a 0.3 MP standard definition whilst iPad 4 makes full use of the Retina display for video chatting with a 1.2 MP HD camera.

Processor : iPad 3 comes with a dual core A5X processor + quad core GPU. iPad 4 comes with Apple's latest A6X processor which Apple claim doubles the performance of CPU tasks.

Battery : Same

OS : Apple's latest operating system, iOS 6 which recently launched alongside the iPhone 5 and it's also featured on the iPad 4. iPad 3launched with iOS 5.1 but is upgradeable to iOS 6.

Price : With the announcement of the iPad 4, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the iPad 3 would be made cheaper. Apple has different ideas, with the plan seeming to be to phase out the 3rd gen iPad. The iPad 4 comes in at the same price of the iPad 3, with the Wi-Fi only tablets coming in at $US499 for 16 GB,US$599 for 32 GB and US$699 for 64GB respectively. The aptly named Wi-Fi + Cellular versions cost a bit more, at US$629, US$729, and US$82 for the three storage options.

Connectivity : The big difference between the two iPad generations lies within their connectivity options. The most obvious of these is the new 8-pin Lightning dock, first announced on the iPhone 5. This is 80 percent smaller and more durable than Apple's original 30-pin offering.
