hey guys yall here was TLD with my full review of the third generation iPad now flat-out hands-down bar none no questions asked the biggest and most compelling feature of the new iPad is the Retina display it packs a ridiculous 2048 by 1536 resolution on a nine point seven inch display which in comparison to the iPad twos display offers twice the linear resolution and four times in total pixel density which equates to 264 PPI and has pixels per inch for you perverts out there now it is literally impossible to show up to quality this display through video but just can't happen let's assume you're watching on a 1080p monitor which is what this video was filmed and uploaded in the retina display has a million more pixels in Full HD s 1920 by 1080 resolution I took a few screenshots from the iPad twos display and then line them up with a few screenshots from the Retina display to give you a ballpark idea of what the difference actually looks like the first shot is a dock comparison where you can clearly see how much sharper threatend display is the text the detail and clarity the icons and most noticeably is how jagged and pixelated the edges of the iPad 2's icons look in contrast to the retina display next up is a keyboard comparison between the two and again you can see how much sharper the text is on the Retina display and finally to put things in perspective this is a full display screenshot from the iPad to display placed directly on top of a Retina display screenshot which shows off just how massive new iPads display is with that said this is hands-down the best mobile display I've seen the date web browsing email and pictures look fantastic they're extremely vivid detailed and you kind of just get consumed in the content I did however notice that when watching 1080p iTunes content on the new iPad that it wasn't that noticeable difference when compared to the iPad twos display the Retina display was a little clearer slightly richer but definitely nothing to go throw your iPad to on eBay and run over to the Apple store to pick up the new iPad over now internally the new iPad is powered by an a5x processor which essentially is the same as the iPad 2 but now features quad-core graphics instead of dual-core we also see a bump in ram from 512 megabytes to a full gigabyte on the new iPad but specs aside it won't really feel any faster and here's why when benchmarking both the iPad 2 and the new iPad with a display turned off and only the GPU being tested the new iPad crushed the iPad 2 you can clearly see the performance increase but when I run the same benchmark with both screens enabled they perform nearly identical which leads me to believe that all the X you're processing power is going straight to the Retina display so again it's not going to fill any faster than the iPad 2 which honestly was never slow to begin with aesthetically not much as change on the outside of the new iPad is slightly thicker slightly heavier due to the bigger battery but increase is minimal and it really didn't bother me at all we still have our traditional home button 30 pin connector and speaker located near the bottom towards the top we have a front-facing VGA camera we have our headphone outputs sleep/wake button volume rockers up-and-down and a mute button above that the rear facing camera which has been dubbed the iSight camera is now 5 megapixels and shoots in 1080p with that said here's a few test pictures taken from the new iPad and honestly I felt like an idiot taking these but you can see they look decent nothing mind-blowing with definitely not bad if you ever had to use your iPad as a camera or as a last resort so we'll look at one last picture and hop over to a 1080p video test so we are filming a 1080p video recording tests got Mellie to the left and Big Mac to the right they are looking at this let's see if it can autofocus on to their dog treat maybe not hey go Big Mac melody drinking some water hey good one - yo chill oh so there's no denying if new iPads camera is good but honestly it was a dumb ass move on Apple's parka throw the good camera on the back and leave us with a crappy ass VGA non HD front-facing camera or honestly it would get more used to using it for things like Skype FaceTime so on and so forth and besides who the hell shoots video with a tablet now two of the questions I get most about the new iPad or a does it have Siri and the quick answer to that is no which leads to question B and that is why the hell not to be honest I'm not sure why they didn't include it on the iPad if I had to take a guess I'd say because it's still officially in beta but maybe we should ask Siri herself Siri why aren't you in the new iPad the iPad can't handle this s now jokes and theory aside that did include voice dictation which honestly I use more on my iPhone 4s than I use Siri so here's a quick example of voice dictation in action yo Steve comma iPad greater than sign Windows tablet period you mad bro question mark so alongside the Retina display the other major noticeable upgrade is the addition of 4G LTE if you're in the US you can opt for either Verizon or AT&T LTE but in my experience testing both out Verizon smashed AT&T I couldn't get an AT&T LTE signal to save my life now a verizon complete opposite story I was getting ridiculous speeds of about 10 to 20 megabits per second down and up and the cherry on top is that they offer a hotspot feature for no additional charge lastly we'll look at battery life which impressively retains the same 10-hour battery life as the iPad 2 and even claims to get around 9 hours on 4G upon testing the 4G LTE model I got around 8 to 9 hours performance which is right on spot with what Apple claims so definitely notice appointment there but I did notice because the new battery is so large that it takes a lot longer to charge as opposed to the iPad 2 which isn't a huge deal as long as the performance is there but I can definitely see how some people might be annoyed when they were used to the charging speeds from the iPad 2 so in conclusion I feel that while the new iPad is still the best tablet on the market there isn't enough there to ditch your iPad 2 for now if you've never owned an iPad or you're upgrading from the first generation or even if you want to upgrade for something like a Kindle Fire or a lower end tablet than hell yes I would wholeheartedly recommend the new iPad the Retina display looks incredibly sharp 4G LTE is a fantastic addition and battery life is awesome but again if your iPad 2 owner there isn't enough of a real-world difference that I could honestly recommend upgrading especially if you're happy with what you got so thank you guys for watching the video if you're feeling like being awesome make sure to give this video a thumbs up it is much much much appreciated if you guys are interested in checking out an in-depth comparison between the new iPad and the iPad 2 as far as benchmarks loading apps all that good stuff go to click the video right here if you haven't subscribed feel free to do so by clicking this annotation and I will see you guys yeah you
