Nonexpandable memory
Proprietary port / Closed "world" that may turn some off

Will the tiny Lightning connector be sturdy enough for docking stations?
You could argue that the new port on the bottom of the new iPad 4G is a downgrade
The smaller Lightning port is easier to use
But it does mean it won’t work with existing cables
Docks and accessories. This might be less of an issue for the iPad than the iPhone or iPod touch however - it’s always been too big for most docks anyway - and Apple has made up for this change (which
Let’s not forget
This is the latest gadget from Apple to switch to the Lightning connector
Making existing chargers and speakers incompatible
A bit chunky next to some of its competitors
Not a radical departure from the iPad 3

The newest iPad's faster A6X processor adds extra system speed and graphics power. Improved worldwide cellular compatibility makes the LTE model a more appealing proposition. And the iOS App Store remains best in class, with the widest selection
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
