By much more functional do you mean half the speed /ram ,weaker battery,no a6x chip,or new beast graphics card ,and the slight jailbreak lag? I'm loving my iPad 4 first iPad for me and I think I made the right choice really loving the screen and speed :😱
Maybe thats why iphone and ipads sell so much 😛 seriously all the people i know with iphones or ipad just care about jailbreak and get that installous going lol
