Comparison of the New 3rd Gen iPad Versus the iPad 2
First up is the name. Apple is aiming to standardise the naming of the iPad more in line with their other products. The iPod Touch for example has never been referred to as the "iPod Touch 2". The name stays the same even as its upgraded.
With this in mind they are calling the third generation the "new iPad" in a clear attempt to get everyone on the same page. We can foresee some confusion as people go to buy the iPad in the future but hopefully the price drops on existing stocks of the iPad 2 will help people see clearly which model they are buying.
So truthfully, is the "New iPad" a large leap forward? We would say not. After all how far can technology really advance in just twelve calendar months? This is more of a refinement and a natural evolution than any sort of giant technology leap. For this reason you'll need to understand the subtle differences before you make your buying decision.
In terms of thickness, the difference is negligible. The iPad is slightly thinner. But you won't notice it. They are still both fantastically slim to be frank.
Let's look at the weight now. The new iPad is about a twentieth heavier. Which is next to nothing frankly. So another non-issue.
The biggest single improvement as far as we are concerned is the improved display. Going from 1024 pixels to 2048 pixels is a huge jump. That's actually FOUR times the pixel resolution display. Everything that actually uses the improvement will look a lot crisper and cleaner. It'll take a while for apps to catch up with the increased display however. And we do have some small concerns about all those iPhone apps scaling up and looking a little over-pixellated.
The processor goes from dual to quad core in its graphics chip. This is a nice upgrade. But with the iPad only really running one app at a time, it's not as if we ever found any of the previous iPads to be slow. Still, we are not complaining and if the chip had not improved we would have been asking why.
The RAM doubles to a Gig from a half Gig. Our feelings on this are that this is a solid improvement that should be of a constant help.
The battery life is the same. Which is pretty fantastic at a rock solid ten or so hours. The iPad just goes and goes!
Storage space options and wireless options are similar. The new model has a LTE option which you either care about or don't. We believe the Wi-Fi versions are the consistent bigger sellers.
The "New iPad" can shoot in 1080p video mode and it has a 5 megapixel camera which is a significant upgrade.
Our conclusion is simply that you should consider the main reasons you would use an iPad and let that guide you towards which model you purchase. For many, especially with the price reduction, the iPad 2 is more than enough while for high end users they will gravitate towards the latest model.
