The Apple IPad 3 Review:

Introduction:

So,
the iPad is dead, long live the iPad. That's also part of the deal. The
retirement of the first-generation of the Apple tablet is nothing out of the
ordinary. There used to be the iPad and the iPad 2. Now, we have the iPad and
the iPad 2 is the backup, the second choice.

The
new iPad. Here's one for you. You're Apple and you're about to launch your
latest product. You want to dispel even the remotest suspicion of recycling old
stuff. You want the slightest hint smothered of sequels and their questionable
worth. What do you do?

Make
it nothing like the old one? No, no - you're not paying attention. Pretend
you're Apple. The market leader in tablets, the standard-setter in touchscreen,
the king of design, the god of marketing.

Yes,
it's as simple as a single stroke of divine wisdom. You get rid of the numbers.
Next is wrong - new is what everyone cares about. If you're telling people
they're getting the ultimate, the last thing you want them to think about is
what comes later. Numbers are about the order of appearance, the new iPad is
about the order of succession. In the royal sense.

The
three iPads look almost exactly the same but, to be fair to the new iPad, it
brings a massive upgrade. The 2048 x 1536 pixel Retina display has four times
the resolution of the previous model. The bar is yet again set too high for the
competition. And it's a leap worth several generations. Apple did well to make
sure the monstrous screen is well covered in terms of graphic processing with
some extra GPU cores too and the performance is flawless.

The
5MP camera is an improved version of the one on the iPhone 4 and the video
recording is duly upgraded to 1080p. There's Wi-Fi hotspot support too but
that's carrier-dependent and our Wi-Fi-only iPad naturally doesn't have it.

The
long list of cons shouldn't come as a surprise. Some of them are down to
Apple's way of doing things but we'll look closer at the screen outdoor
performance and the reported overheating in gaming or video playback.

Siri
didn't make the cut this time around and you won't find some basic iOS apps
either such as Weather, Stocks, Clock, Calculator and Voice Memos. Let's hope though
there won't be blank spaces in our review of the new iPad. Follow us on the
next page where we look at what's new in the hardware department.
