Absolutely heavier and thicker...

[Bossyman]

...easy to feel and see the difference. Not saying its not a worthy upgrade. Just pointing it out. I, for one, prefer the feel of the 2 MUCH better.

 

[iohass]

didn't have the 2, but can't say this weight bothers me.. maybe it's because i'm really strong, i don't know

It is noticeably heavier but it doesn't bother me.

 

[Adam-Jobs]

When I first picked it up I thought wow this is heavy. An hour later. Just feels normal. Not heavy at all.

 

[throAU]

price paid for LTE battery life.

i'm sure apple didn't want to make it heavier, but all the other LTE mobile devices out there have shocking battery, so i guess they had no choice.

well, either that or drop LTE...

I can see how you might feel that weight, but I'm not sure how you guys are feeling the difference of 0.6mm (Maybe when I get mine tomorrow I too may feel the different )

 

[DS3]

Feel of the 2 MUCH better for less than 2 ounces and half a mm, lol.

Can you imagine this conversation 10 years ago?

The Marware CEO Hybrid or Otterbox Reflex don't fit it. It's a stretch for Apple to claim that all cases fit.

 

[Blorzoga]

The difference is virtually unnoticeable

Since when did Apple claim that all cases would fit the new iPad?

 

[Drag'nGT]

I'll take weight with a 10hr battery on this quality of a device any day.

 

[firstapple]

Really? You can tell its like half a mm thicker? Amazing...

 

[puckhead193]

After the day I don't notice the difference in weight and thickness between my iPad 2.

I read it on the boards here. A guy was told that by am employee, but I should've worded it better. There's employees at Apple stores that don't know what they're talking about sometimes.

 

[badpinoy]

You'll be fine a couple days, just give it some time.

 

[uPad]

Too heavy? C'mon. At least we have arms.

 

[MultiFinder17]

Coming from the original, it feels about the same weight, and it's way thinner

 

[advan031]

I can def notice the difference as well but it's nothing to complain about.

 

[Spink10]

ditto - Im not sure if I like the tapered edges. Think I was so use to my iPad 1 it makes the new iPad feel weird.

P.S. I love the new iPad

 

[Bossyman]

Absolutely noticeable coming from the iPad 2. My 12 year old son noticed it immediately as well.

 

[Bokes]

Heavier because it's better.
enjoy.

This.

After I used the iPad for an entire day I didn't notice the difference in weight or thickness anymore

If there were more men like you, fat chicks wouldn't be lonely anymore.

 

[monkeylui]

The weight, yeah I noticed a little bit. But the thickness, c'mon. It's hardly if at all noticeable.

 

[falconman515]

These threads are SO pointless.

It has twice the friggin size of a battery ok .... its thicker cause it has more and has a full damn retina display.

Really people? .

Funny how we all want TONS more from apple in these but yet go insane cause of the TINIEST gain in weight and size!

And you noticed the Thickness Just one the Dumbest things I've heard said on here today.

I know you just feel the compulsive need to create threads bit do so with things that are important next time and stop you friggin whining about Every Little Thing!

 

[william1949]

Moving from iPad 1 to the "new iPad", the weight difference is negligible, but the speed makes it worth it. No more lags. I'm a happy camper!
