Rippleman Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Picked up the new iPad yesterday. Comparing to my iPad2 is easy. First thing I noticed was the screen difference of course with the sharper icons. Checked the camera, HUGE improvement there. Was extremely disappointed with the ipad2 in that area. I still can't imagine why they put such crappy cameras in the first one. As for speed, everything seems about the same. Some games (I only play a couple) seem to not do we'll with the increased resolution. The mouse (my fingers) doesnt go across the screen as fast or as far as I am accustomed to. As for the heat gate issue, I don't notice a bit of difference or even feel any heat from the back of the unit. With the 4g connection, I wish I could say something about it but havent hook up up yet, today maybe I will do that. Useless little review, but some might is interesting.

goofyinthehead Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 so outside of some sharper icons and a camera I would never use, it doesn't seem worth the cost Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1075379-picked-up-the-new-ipad-yesterday/#findComment-594848115 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+virtorio MVC Posted May 6, 2012 MVC Share Posted May 6, 2012 I'd give up the high res display for one that is thinner and lighter. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1075379-picked-up-the-new-ipad-yesterday/#findComment-594848141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rippleman Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 so outside of some sharper icons and a camera I would never use, it doesn't seem worth the cost Ya, to some the camera alone is worth the extra $100, but only if you use it I guess. I use mine alot for business purpose and lots of personal too. Worth it for me but not everyone.

moloko Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I decided to go and get the Ipad 2 instead of the new one. Screen sharper is not worth 100$ to me. and the ipad2 is a bit lighter and thinner.

TheLegendOfMart Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 It doesn't just have a sharper screen, it has a quad core graphics chip that is comparable in power to the Playstation Vita GPU.
