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....
It’s daft to say Apple’s fourth-generation iPad is its best yet - how could it not be? If you're sure you want an iPad, fanboy or not, it's the one to go for. Still, there’s no need at all to upgrade if you have an iPad 3, of course - wait for the 5, ...
