Not 4G-capable in Australia
Thicker & heavier than predecessor
Gets warm during regular use
Not much of an update
Still slightly weighty
Price too high
The fourth-gen iPad is otherwise identical to its recent predecessor -- same size
Weight
And Retina screen. It's heavy to hold in one hand
And most older accessories won't work without investing in a pricey Lightning adapter
Retina display, Small text is easy to read, iOS 6 has tons of features, Battery life, Lots of apps, A6X processor
Nonexpandable memory, Proprietary port / Closed "world" that may turn some off, Maps still behind the competition, Will the tiny Lightning connector be sturdy enough for docking stations?
The iPad 4 is an update that definitively confirms Apple's tablet range as one of the very best there are. It has set things straight after an iPad 3 that was very good but wasn't quite a home run in terms of processing power and longevity. The iPad 4 is ...

Faster graphics processor, better frontfacing camera, UKcompatible 4G connectivity and that same design we know and love.
This is the latest gadget from Apple to switch to the Lightning connector, making existing chargers and speakers incompatible
Same design, same weight, same display – this is a tweak to the existing iPad, which it has replaced, rather than an all-new machine. Not worth upgrading to unless you want the 4G speeds, but a great place to start if you don't have an iPad....
