Apple iPad 4 review: Marching on

14 November 2012 | Read the review | Post your comment
Apple iPad 4 review: Marching on - read the full textThree 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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
