I'm Scott Stein and all you third-gen IPAN odors I've unfortunate news yes there is a new iPad a fourth generation iPad and what does that mean well it does seem that in one calendar year we've made two generational leaps instead of one and if you bought a third gen iPad I'm sorry because you don't have the cutting-edge iPad anymore if you have not bought an iPad it's actually really good news because this is an improvement over the third gen iPad at least in terms of the processor there's an a6 X instead of an a5 X and what does that mean well the last I phone the iPhone 5 made a leap from an a6 from an a5 previously and it was about double the speed and so far using this that seems to be the case here too the system boots faster apps load faster even games play faster on it for the most part this looks exactly the same as the other one it still has a 2048 by 1536 Retina display and has the same thickness the same weight comes in black and white on the street you couldn't tell them apart and they feel pretty similar now there are a few key differences one there is the lightning connector so that these are all part of the same iOS family the other difference with the new fortune iPad is that there's an HD front-facing camera it takes crisper FaceTime videos shoot 720p and crisper still photos of yourself is it the iPad 2 get now that's the question because now there are two iPads there's the fourth gen and those there's this little iPad Mini floating around which is incredibly convenient very light and very fun to use now I imagine these are going to be two very different use cases because the iPad Mini really feels almost like a Kindle or a book and it has an iPad 2's guts inside essentially but you don't really notice that if you're caring about reading or video playing now the 4th gen iPad this thing is a powerhouse and it's the fastest iOS device that's on the market right now it eclipses the iPhone 5 and it provides the best combination of power and performance for those who want that this is the way to go if you're a pro user if you're using this for photography or if using this for video editing if you're using this as a laptop alternative and the fortune iPad is the way to go and if you were thinking about buying an iPad before if you're on the fence if you were waiting to see well then this is absolutely the right time to get it because let's face it I don't really know when the next iPad is going to come out now would that happen sooner or later odds are that would be later and this iPad now is the iPad for a considerable time and starting at $4.99 the same as before for 16 gigs going up to 32 and 64 gigs and with additional LTE capabilities you know it matches the price that we've seen before LT is a little bit different this now works better internationally whereas a third gen iPad did not and that could be part of the reason why this is going to be a lot more appealing globally for markets that weren't able to use LTE before so why all of a sudden everybody suddenly get a little less excited about the large iPad well I think the iPad Mini has a lot to do with it because it's an exciting new design but let's not forget that earlier this year this was the premier tablet to get and still is because of its act collection and because of its performance and the faster processor means this is a better product all around this is an improvement on the third gen iPad although it's really not enough to consider buying for that upgrade but if you haven't bought an iPad before and we're looking for a new fast one the 4th gen is absolutely the one to get on the other hand if you want something that's more portable something that's maybe your second iPad even or something that's more affordable go for the iPad Mini it's a difficult decision to make but I think it's really about portability versus performance this time with the two new iPads that are on the market I'm Scott Stein and that's a look at the new fourth-generation iPad from Apple
