The iPad 4 is definitely the best full-size iPad yet, but if you have a third-gen model, you may feel that six months is too soon to upgrade. Perhaps Apple thought the same, so it delivered a gentle rather than a killer upgrade, though the speed improvement over the last model is evident.

Faster processor; Improved FaceTime camera; UK-compatible 4G connectivity

Reduced battery life; Not much change from iPad 3; Too soon

The fourth generation iPad feels more of a refinement. If you invested in the third-generation tablet don't feel too hard done by. 4G is still at early adopter level in the UK and will be until there are more compatible phones and greater network choice.

Fantastic build; Improved camera; Amazing screen; 4G welcome addition

iOS still not as flexible as other OS's; 4G doesn't support multiple bands; Minor upgrade

I got Apple I pad 4 with Retina Display from JB hi-fi for this Christmas , Its really good with high graphics quality, high pixel of camera and thousands of App can be download. Its wonderful. Thanks...cheers

With so many tablets PC's coming out each year, it is much more difficult to choose a tablet PC that suits you nowadays. In my case, I chose the Apple iPad (4th generation), and I've never been so satisfied with a purchase before.

The Apple iPad 4 came as something as a surprise in late 2012. Everyone was expecting the iPad Mini, but as the new iPad (or iPad 3) had only been out since March, and so a replacement after just 6 months was a bit of a shock.

Nov 6 2012 - Apple's recent revision of their flagship iPad device retains its best overall features including the retina display and improves the performance, battery life and FaceTime camera.

The sneaky iPad 4 takes our tablet top spot almost by default. There are no cosmetic changes to swoon over but this is a seriously slick, turbo-charged version of our favourite slate, and all for the same price as the outgoing iPad 3.

The pricing of the iPad 4 is the same as the iPad 3 when it came out, which is good news – if you want to get an iPad 3 , that is. Yes, the previous model is now cheaper, and it's a better purchase in my opinion.

It's pretty easy: there's a Retina Display that makes everything look superbly crisp, an updated A6X processor with much superior...

It's clear, it's bright, it's crisp; essentially it properly expands the Smartphone experience onto...

Not much of an update...

Less than eight months after Apple launched the 3rd Generation iPad (called the "new iPad"), there's a new new iPad in town. The 4th Generation iPad is a minor upgrade to the previous model but the biggest benefit for Australian users is compatible 4G connectivity.
