The iPad 4 - Apple's Fourth Generation iPad

The new iPad 4 is the fourth generation iPad from Apple. And it is regarded the best full size iPad yet. It came as a surprise because of the fact that everyone were expecting the iPad Mini to make its way for the first time. The iPad 4 is the successor of the previous generation iPad - the iPad 3.



When the iPad 4 came in the market for the first time, many people criticized Apple for the unexpected release. They found it more of a tweak than a brand-new product. However, Apple has proved that the iPad 4 can be a tweak but it's a tweak that makes a lot of sense.

The new fourth generation iPad is named iPad with retina display by Apple. This is a change in naming as we all know the previous full size iPads in a different way. However, the new iPad is popularly known as the iPad 4 everywhere. 

The iPad 4 has a few significance upgrades including a Lightning connector that replaces the old 30-pin connector and brings the iPad into line with the other iOS devices. The same rear iSight 5MP camera remains but the front-facing FaceTime camera has been upgraded to HD status with a 1.3MP HD sensor on the front. And the biggest of all is that the iPad 4 has the brand new Apple A6X processor. This is the same model used in the iPhone 5. But the 1.4GHz model used here also has quad-core graphics.
