What mystical speed improvements will there be? is there an ipad race i missed? when i open an app it pretty much opens right away, flipping pages in books is immediate , will i now just have to look at things and they openor should i wait for the ipad 5 so that when i think about apps they open
hahahahahahahahaha
Uh, no you don't get better battery life except in light usage scenarios.
Play a game and do anything intense, you get WORSE battery life than an iPhone 4S.
In most scenarios, you'll get roughly equal battery life over the course of a day.
Yes, you can browse Macrumors for 8 hours a day on the iPhone 5. It's true, if that's your intended usage, then you do get better battery life.
If you want to sit comparing.
General use no difference.
We're talking wi-fi here right? Don't have 4G in the UK yet.
General use IS near instantaneous web page loads versus *waiting* for the page to load.
I'm sorry you live in UK, here 4G LTE is several times faster than WiFi.
Interesting.
I can't see me using 4G over Wi-fi though. Costs too much to use data on a phone. Does the Iphone 5 not have twice as fast wi-fi like Ipad 4?
I am not sure what kind of A6 you have been using, but my iPhone 5 is noticeably faster than my old iPhone 4S in almost every area....
Its officially stated battery life is better, and that's what we're talking about here (since no one has actually used an iPad 4 yet). Incidentally, I do notice better battery life on my iPhone 5, and I do more than surf the web.
LTE is several times faster than WIFI????Not sure where you live,but I can't imagine that place exists

If your wifi router is connected to a 10MBps line....

Yeah, personally I get 24 MBPS on LTE and about 10 on my cable connection. It's amazing.
i have about 100 apps, none are slow at all

how do you get faster than instantly?

3rd generation was a half-assed rushed release just to grab quick bucks.
'4th' generation is what the iPad 3 was supposed to be.

No, he's not being an idiot. I agree with him. You are just blinded by the hype.
Everything my iPad 3 does, it does quickly, efficiently, instantly and immediately. Explain how something can be twice as fast as immediate. If a web page loads instantly, how can it load twice as fast as instantly? So you are saying the new iPad is so fast, it will already do what you are thinking before you tell it to? B.S. No way. Even the most hardcore Apple fanboy is not dumb enough to believe that.
I think there may be some power saving still since they are only using 12W only up by 2W compared to previous one. And may be dec battery as well. Other remaining power, I think went to increasing the clock for GPU so they can claim 2X GPU compared to A5x.(which is a real kick in the groin for current iPad 3 users IMHO)
Who are you kidding? Nothing loads even close to instantaneously on iPad 3. Never used a desktop Safari running a Quad i7 @4-5ghz have you?
Cry more.
What about color/display?
I'm wondering if colors look better on the new iPad (4th generation), similar to how colors on iPhone 5 are more vibrant (44 percent more according to apple) than 4s. This actually DOES make a difference to me. I didn't think it would, but when I look at colors on my iPhone 5 I am still astonished at how great they look.

Once the youtube vids come up with the side by side 4th gen vs 3rd gen I think we can settle this. I agree there is actually being 2x as fast on tests and probably true, but in real life usage it may not be 2x as fast and may not matter to most users.
thoughts on speed ..
Granted, I am a crazy iPad user, in that I have about 400 apps on my iPad.
But, that being said, I definitely notice times that the speed lags, or that apps hang. Much as when the iPhone 4s came out and we compared the speed of that to the 3g iPhone and thought it couldn't get faster, and then alas, here's iPhone 5, I'm betting that the speed bump on this new iPad WILL be noticeable.

They bumped to a dual-band chip which they always should have done, but the maximized marginal profits once again without the public knowing. The iPad 3 was destined for old technology, just like the iPad mini, but this new mini iPad will sell off the charts.
Main reason iPhone 5 is so thin is because of the use of in-cell technology glass... that will be the next thing to be in the iPad line-up, in order to make them thinner in due time...
In-cell glass allows for just one piece of glass, when most of the other devices use 2 or 3 panes/sheets... usually a cover glass to protect, then a touch-sheet needed for touch gestures, then the LED/LCD screen illuminating the pixels.
