iPad iPad 4 feels heavier than 3

[Quantus]

Anyone have an iPad 4 and a really precise scale? If so, can you weigh the 4 and report your findings here?

According to Apple's website, they both weight exactly the same, 1.44 lb (all that changed was the processor and Lightning Connector, none of those will add weight).

Both same weight.

Both same weight.

I know. I'm skeptical of Apple's reported stats.

Is it really that big of an issue if Apple added a few kg of weight?

Trust me, its not a pound heavier.

A few KG would be like 9 pounds so yea that would be a big deal...

A few kg? yes, big deal. A few g, not so much 😉

Dude, a few KILO grams? I'd say that's a "big" issue....🙄

Comparing my 4 to a 3, the 4 feels a bit lighter. More like a iPad 2, weight-wise. It might be in my head, but its side by side comparison.

Yep, iPad 4 is actually a few grams heavier (I believe only about 2 grams). It's not much, really.

My bad, I meant grams and not kg, that's what I get for typing shortly after just waking up.
