Why You Should Get the Verizon iPad Instead of AT&T

2012-03-21
hey guys it's Brannon minimun from pocketnow.com when you go to buy a new iPad you have to choose color capacity and carrier yes the three C's of the new iPad in this video we're going to help you better determine which configuration is right for you let's get to it so let's start off talking about color white Heights fingerprints far better than the black DOS however with white you get a very defined definite border around the screen which can help kind of make the screen look a little bit smaller some people say that black actually makes the screen appear more vast it's a matter of personal opinion in my opinion I still like to go with white because it hides fingerprints very well number two capacity 16 gigabytes used to be enough space but what we're finding now is that apps are getting huge absolutely huge the New York Times app is about a hundred megabytes and it just shows content some of the biggest games use about two gigabytes of space if you download an HD movie you're going to be at about 3.5 to 4 gigabytes if you download the high-def version if you download a high-def version of a TV show that's 500 megabytes so if you're doing a cross-country flight you want to load it up with movies and games and TV shows you're gonna run out of space at 16 gigabytes 64 gigabytes is for people that keep all of their music on their iPad for most people that's overkill that's why I went smack in the middle to the 32 gigabyte version which suits my needs perfectly and there's a great balance between its ton of space and not enough space number three carrier AT&T has not as much LTE as Verizon meaning the network is not as ubiquitous however their fallback network their 3G network is several times faster than Verizon's network so if you have helped to eat in your area on AT&T definitely go with the AT&T version but everyone else should go with the Verizon version because there's much more Verizon 4G than there is 18 t LTE also as an interesting bonus if you take out the micro sim on the Verizon iPad and you put in an AT&T micro SIM you will actually be able to get on to ATT's 3G network of course it says 4G at the top but it's really there 3G network which is great because then you have the option to either use Verizon's 4G network or a TN t--'s 3G network let's say you have an AT&T phone with an unlimited data plan to save a little bit on data costs you're traveling pop out the Micro SIM if you have a micro sim on your AT&T smartphone pop it in the iPad boom you've got that unlimited data and you don't have to pay that fee for the Verizon data plan so hopefully this video was helpful for you it's a lot of choice and it's so it's a lot of money when you start adding up all these options but a good balance of all of them would be the Verizon 32 gigabyte white version as I mentioned in the unboxing video that's the one that I went with that's the one I'll be using for personal usage I think it's the best balance let us know what you think the best balances in terms of color carrier incapacity in the comments and if you like this video please give us a thumbs up thanks for watching that's it for now
