what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here at that unboxing for you of the ipad 3g + Wi-Fi a low for brevity we'll just call it the ipad 3g the box looks almost identical to the ipad Wi-Fi model in fact at the top it still just says ipad doesn't even say AT&T there so this is running on a tMT's network this is the 32 gigabyte model you've probably seen the box many times before i got a picture of it on the front ipad on the side some specs on the back and really going way to know that it's 3g is right there 32 + 3g and that is about it so let's go ahead and dig in of course we'll use the big ol knife to flip this over and cut the plastic i'll be doing a full this battery of tests if you will comparing this to the Wi-Fi model see there's a difference in battery life performance internet speed i'm just putting it through the general paces like we usually do in our videos so rip off the plastic set off to the side here's the box comes right up just a little bit of cardboard right there and here is the ipad 3g sitting right on top press it off to the side for just a minute I'll keep digging in and see what else we get in the box so this should be very familiar of course we have a power cord and USB and this should be exactly the same as the Wi-Fi model with the one exception of the sim removal tool because this does have a micro sim card essentially it's like a regular sim card just a bit smaller and you get sort of your fingertips and iPad although and you do get some stickers to case you're wondering so go ahead and close that and the 3g model is about a hundred and thirty dollar premium over the non 3g model so push the box off to the side and let's take a look at the ipad 3g so now we got all the unboxing stuff out of the way let's take a look at the iPad itself it is highlighted by a 9.7 inch capacitive touchscreen which really takes up almost the entire device got a bit of a black bezel around it and some chrome sort rimming it's got a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 and it's got a 100 32 pixels per inch supposedly has an oleophobic screen which means it will avoid fingerprints but if you've ever used an ipad you'll notice it is a fingerprint magnet so we've got your iDevice typical button you've got the home button right there on the left-hand side you have a micro sim tray that's where you'd put in that sim removal tool and pull out that micro sim essentially it looks like a regular sim card but shrunk it down actually you can cut regular sim cards to be the same size as micro sim and work in these on the right-hand side you've got your standard array of iPad buttons you've got your volume up and down and your screen rotation lock on the top you've got a lock in power 3.5 millimeter headset jack which is not recessed you may notice this big black bar across the top that is actually if I turn it over where the 3g radios resides so you can actually get a little better 3g reception if you're trying to come through the aluminum here on the back and i should probably say that's not chrome around the side it is aluminum or aluminium depending on where you're watching this and that's really the big differences here the other different conditions to the 3g radio versus the just Wi-Fi ipad this actually has assisted gps and it's it as a gps chip to help get a better sort of location on where you are the irregular ipad uses the cell tower to sort of get your GPS configuration and speaking of the ipad Wi-Fi let's go ahead and bring that into frames you can see the difference between the two click here turn it on so you look the same here is the or here are the two iPads side-by-side you really can't see any different or notice any difference I guess the only way you can tell from the top is that this is a little bit broken up by the black on the back you can definitely see a difference we've got that sort of two-tone look I think the ipad Wi-Fi only has little cleaner alliance doesn't have to have that black bar but again no 3g radio and no Wi-Fi from a thickness standpoint they are exactly the same thickness you can see right there there's really no difference Apple claimed 10 hours of battery life on each when just using Wi-Fi and about nine hours when using the 3g and if you won't cure about the 3g data plans at least on eighteen t thirty dollars is going to get you a truly unlimited plan where you can download and watch whatever you want the truly unlimited sense and about half of that fifteen bucks is going to get you 250 megabytes of data or you can always add on more if you go over and they'll tell you when you go over and these are not in addition to your cell phone data plan they don't go on that plan it's a separate bill you actually activate all that stuff right from the ipad so i'll put these two heads ahead and show you speeds and course we'll run the ipad 3g through our full battery of tests if you will to see how it performs if you guys have any questions or things you want to see go ahead and leave them in the comments and I will check them out anyway i'm jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo for all your tech news and create your own tech blog and make a
