The iPad 4

Apple actually called this device in their press release the 4th Generation iPad and on their website as the iPad with Retina Display but for ease and quick understanding and recognition, I will be calling the new iPad as the iPad 4. Anyway, yup! Apple announced the iPad 4 together with it's little brother, the iPad Mini. The iPad 3 was announced back in March and with that, the iPad 4 will be the 2nd iPad (if you do not count the iPad Mini) to be announced within the same year. The question that lingers in my head now is if Apple will announce another iPad for 2013, I believe they will and we will be calling that one as the iPad 5.

The iPad 4 is basically, and like most other successors to a previous device, is an upgrade to the iPad 3. The word "upgrade" on the iPad 4 means, the latest Apple chipset and iOS 6. That is basically the most apparent new thing on the iPad 4. But we should be able to discover new things in the iPad 4 that the iPad 3 did not have or wished it had.
