As well as launching their new iPad Mini, Apple has also started selling their new fourth generation iPad, which comes with updated components from the iPad 3 that was launched earlier in the year.
The iPad 4 features the same Retina Display as the iPad 3, but it now comes with a faster A6X processor and also Apple’s new lightning dock connector. This new connector is smaller and more durable than the previous 30-pin connector, making it easier to use and more efficient. The iPad 4 is available from today in Apple stores in the UK, US, and other countries.
Pricing and Models
Prices on the iPad 4 are the same as the iPad 3, the 16GB iPad 4 WiFi retails for £399 and the 32GB model retails for £479. There is also a 64GB model which retails for £559. These prices make the iPad 4 a competitive option in the tablet market, offering high-end features at a reasonable cost.
As well as the WiFi-only models, there are also WiFi and Cellular models. Prices start at £499 for the 16GB model, £579 for the 32GB model, and £659 for the 64GB model. The Cellular models provide the added benefit of being able to connect to the internet via mobile networks, making them ideal for users who need internet access on the go. You can find out more details over at Apple.
Enhanced Features and Performance
The A6X processor in the iPad 4 is a significant upgrade from the A5X processor in the iPad 3. This new processor offers twice the CPU performance and up to twice the graphics performance, making the iPad 4 faster and more responsive. This is particularly beneficial for tasks such as gaming, video editing, and running multiple apps simultaneously.
Another notable feature of the iPad 4 is its improved front-facing camera, which now supports 720p HD video recording. This enhancement makes FaceTime calls clearer and more enjoyable. The rear camera remains the same 5-megapixel iSight camera found in the iPad 3, which is capable of capturing high-quality photos and 1080p HD video.
The iPad 4 also supports dual-band WiFi, which means it can connect to both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. This results in faster internet speeds and a more stable connection, especially in areas with a lot of wireless interference.
Have a look at the difference between iPad and iPad Mini to see how the two Apple tablets compare side by side. The iPad Mini, with its smaller 7.9-inch display, is more portable and easier to hold with one hand, making it a great option for reading and browsing on the go. However, the iPad 4’s larger 9.7-inch Retina Display offers a more immersive experience for watching videos and playing games.
The iPad 4 is a powerful and versatile tablet that builds on the strengths of its predecessor while introducing several key improvements. Whether you need a device for work, entertainment, or staying connected, the iPad 4 offers a compelling combination of performance, features, and value.
