From iPad 2 to new iPad. Why has Apple picked that name?
iPad 4
S
ay hello to the brand new iPad 4, the latest and greatest addition to Apples revolutionary portable device. If youve never owned an iPad before, this feature tells you everything you need to know about this stunning piece of kit. If youre an iPad aficionado, weve got in-depth information on all the new specifications, features and functions that the device now offers. Unlike the iPad 3 (which Apple referred to a new iPad) this new model has a definite name and number. Its also a very different device inside, although it seems quite similar to earlier models. The iPad 4 display measures 9.7-inches (diagonal), bigger than the 7.9-inches of the iPad mini. It also doubles the number of pixels in play; that means the screen contains a whopping 2048-by-1536 pixels (264 pixels per inch) for a total of over 3.1 million pixels. Apple coins this Retina Display. It describes a screen with pixel density so high that, at normal viewing distances, the average human eye cant discern the individual pixels. To run such a high density display, the iPad 4 is powered by the new A6X chip, which is a dual-core chip with quad-core graphics. The iPad 4 is blistering fast, especially at 3D graphics and gaming. Theres little doubt that the new iPad is the best tablet device on the market, which is why its also the most popular. So come with us as we look at all the new features of this incredible device.
Sleep/Wake button Press this button to lock your iPhones screen. (The phone will still receive calls and play music, but the screen itself will be off ). If its already locked, you can press this button and slide a finger across the screen to wake it up.
Retina display The new display has over 3 million pixels (2048 by 1536) and a pixel density of 264 PPI (pixels per inch). Its called retina because the pixels are more densely packed than the average human eye can discern between.
FaceTime camera This camera on the front works with FaceTime video chat so other people can see your face.
Multi-Touch interface Unlike a laptop, the iPad lacks a physical keyboard, instead you interact with the device by tapping and swiping the display.
Home screen The Home screen contains app icons, and folders. Tap an icon to launch an app, while tapping folders reveals the apps contained inside. Swiping left and right on the Home screen displays different sets of apps and folders (which you can organise yourself ).
Home button The only physical button on the front of the iPad is this one. Press it to instantly return to the Home screen at any time.
Volume buttons These side buttons adjust the iPads volume setting.
Sim card slot The iPad (3G + WiFi) uses a nano-SIM card, which can be inserted and removed using the SIM card tool or a paperclip. The new iPad can connect to regular 3G or faster HSDPA networks, and the 4G LTE networks.
Speaker Youll find the speaker grill on the bottom edge of the iPad. Lightning Connector The iPad uses Apples Lightning connector (underneath) to hook up to your computer and other accessories.
ike a Macs menu bar, the top of the new iPad screen displays a number of status icons shorthand for various settings and connections. The icons that tell you what phone, Internet or other connection your device is making are visible in the upper left-hand corner, while icons in charge of the devices other functions appear on the right. With the help of this handy guide, you can learn what each symbol actually means.
Signal strength These bars reflect the network and voice signal in your area. They fluctuate between one bar (little to no service) and five (strongest reception). Wi-Fi strength Youll see this fan-shaped symbol if youre connected to a nearby Wi-Fi network. The stronger the local signal is, the larger the array ofbars youll see. Bluetooth Turn on Bluetooth, and youll see this icon. By default, the symbol is gray, but if you make a Bluetooth connection, it will turn blue. VPN If you are connected to a Virtual Private Network (VPN), this icon will appear. Airplane mode If you turn on Airplane mode in Settings, your phone will turn off all Internet and Bluetooth connections, and youll see this icon. While in Airplane mode, you can still use Wi-Fi. Processing icon When your iPad is trying to make a network connection, it says: Searching in the upper-left corner. This circle appears if its syncing something over your network, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
Battery status In the upperright corner of your iPad is the battery status icon, which shows how much charge your iPhone battery has. If your battery is charging, youll see a small lightning bolt. Location services When an application such as Maps is using location services on your iPad, this purple pointer will appear to the left of the battery icon. Play button If youre playing an audio track in iTunes, this triangle will appear to the left of the battery icon in the menu bar. If your music is paused, no icon will appear. Alarm clock When you have an alarm set in the Clock app, this small clock appears to the right of the time on the top of your iPad. Lock When your iPad is locked, this lock icon appears on the top of your tablets screen, replacing the time. Orientation lock You can lock your iPad display in Portrait mode by double-clicking the Home button and scrolling to the left in the multitasking bar.
lthough Apple has designed the iPad 4 (and the iPhone, iPod touch) to be simple to learn, sometimes you may want a primer on the basics. Heres a detailed breakdown of all the major Multi-Touch gestures, navigation options, Home screen tips and tricks and multitasking features youll need to master your iOS device.
If youve never before owned a Multi-Touch device from Apple, you may be unfamiliar with crazy phrases like pinch-to-zoom and the difference between flick and swipe. Have no fear: While some of these gestures may have odd names, theyre easy enough to pick up.
Tap: As clicking is to a desktop computer, so is tapping to an iOS device. Tapping is the most common and basic gesture.
Double-tap: Tap an object twice in succession to effect a double-tap. Double-taps are primarily used for zooming in or out on text.
Tap, hold, and drag: For some functions, such as highlighting text, copying and pasting or deleting and moving apps, youll need to tap and hold down on the screen. When you do this on a piece of text, it will highlight in blue, and editing handles vertical lines with blue dots will appear on either side of the highlighted area. You can tap, hold and, while holding down, drag your finger to increase or decrease the selection.
Flick and swipe: Swiping is one of your primary navigational tools. You use a left or right swipe to move through app pages on your Home screen or images in the Photos app; you use an up or down swipe to read text in Safari, iBooks, Newsstand or elsewhere. Its one of the easiest gestures to learn.
Pinch: To zoom in or to open something, place your thumb and index finger, pinched together, on screen and spread them apart. To zoom out, do the reverse.
Rotate: You can even rotate some elements with two or more fingers. Just place two fingers on the screen and make a circular gesture, clockwise or counterclockwise.
ow that youve taken your first step into the iOS world with Multi-Touch gestures, its time to learn how to navigate your iPad 4. Well go over where your apps are stored, how to organise them, search for them anddelete them.
When you first turn on your device, youre brought to the Home screen. Here, youll see an assortment of icons grouped into rows, and several more icons grouped in the silver Dock along the bottom of the screen. The Homescreen is where your apps live, and where you can launch them. The Dock. The grey translucent bar along the bottom of your Home screen is called the Dock. If youve tried swiping between app pages, youll notice the icons in the Dock dont change from one app page to the next; this is because the Dock is for the most frequently used apps (up to six apps).
Swipe right on your Home screen until you reach Spotlight. (If youre on the first Home screen page, pressing your Home button also summons the Spotlight screen.) To search, just type your query in the text box at the top. Open and close an app. To open an app, all you have to do is tap its icon. Once its open, you can return to the Home screen at any time by pressing the Home button. Rearrange and delete apps. To rearrange the order of your icons, tap and hold any icon on the Home screen. After a few seconds, all your app icons, including the one youre holding, will start to wiggle, and a small black X will pop up in each icons top-left corner. Once they do this, you can rearrange any apps on the Home screen, or even drag them into or out of the Dock. If youve installed a third-party app you dont want any more, you can tap the X to delete it (you cant delete the apps that came pre-installed on your device). When youre finished, press the Home button, and your icons will stop wiggling and stay in their new location. Use folders. A folder is a group of apps, represented by a single icon, on your Home screen. To create a folder, start by tapping and holding any app icon to enter Edit mode; after the icons begin to wiggle, drag an app on top of another app. When you release the app, youll create a folder, which will open and display both apps. The multitasking bar. Switch between apps by bringing up the multitasking bar and quickly double-press the Home button; a bar below the Dock will rise up with the apps most recently run. To switch to a different app, tap its icon. Multitasking shortcuts. Swipe right on the multitasking bar for further controls: rotation lock, adjust brightness, control music, adjust volume, and access the Music app.

any of the questions people and pundits have spent the past few months obsessing over have been answered but not all. We know it has a nicer screen, a faster processor, better cameras, 4G networking, and voice dictation. Heres a quick primer to all the new features and technology found in the new iPad Retina display. Like the iPhone, the iPad 4 has a Retina display a term Apple uses to describe a screen with a highenough pixel density that you cant discern individual pixels at normal viewing distances. The Retina display for the iPad boasts a resolution of 2048-by-1536 pixels thats over 3.1 million pixels in total at the same 9.7-inch (diagonal) screen size as before. New cameras. The new iPads front camera the one facing you as you use the tablet has been improved (from 0.3 MP to 1.2 MP), and it now does FaceTime in HD resolution. The back camera still sports a 5-megapixel (2592-by-1936 pixels) iSight camera, much like the one in the iPhone 4. Apple says the camera offers improved sharpness, and it supports autoexposure, auto-focus, auto-face-detection, auto-exposure lock, auto-focus lock, and (for low-light images) temporal noise reduction. It can record 1080p video, and it uses the iPads improved processing horsepower to provide image stabilization. RAM upgrade. Apples tech specs webpage doesnt include information about the amount of RAM in the new iPad, although our friends over at iFixit (www.ifixit.com) have torn the device apart and discovered that it has 1GB, compared to just 512MB in the iPad 2. The A6X processor. The iPhone 5 has the A6, and the iPad 3 has the older A5X. But the new iPad gets a significant bump in power thanks to an new, dual-core A6X processor, which contains a quad-core graphics processing unit (GPU). In addition, that improved graphics capability lets app developers increase the level of detail in their apps and take advantage of the new Retina display. 4G LTE wireless. Like its predecessors, the new iPad is available in versions with just Wi-Fi and versions with both Wi-Fi and cellular networking capabilities. But this time
Retina display The new screen has an incredibly high pixel density for super sharp visuals
Faster innards An all-new A6X processor upgrade ensure that theres enough power inside to keep things running smoothly
around, the cellular models include 4G/LTE wireless in the 1,800 band (which ensures that it works with UK networks like EE). 4G offers internet speeds up to a whopping 100Mbps, although actual speeds are more likely to be between 15-20Mbps. The iPad 4 also has support for the new DC-HSDPA 3G networks, which is the latest generation of 3G networking. DC-HSDPA combines two 3G bands into one, offering double the speed of internet connection (up to 42Mbps, theoretically. Weve had up to 16Mbps on it, although 8Mbps is a more reasonable average). Support for 4G requires a whole new contract, and DC-HSDPA is dependent upon your location and network provider. But the iPad 4 can still rely on two widely available 3G wireless technologies: HSDPA, and HSPA+. Bluetooth 4.0. Like the iPhone 5, the iPad 4 includes Bluetooth 4.0, the latest version of the Bluetooth standard. Bluetooth 4.0 includes all the features of Bluetooth 2.1+EDR (the version used in the iPad 2), so existing Bluetooth accessories should work fine. But version 4.0 adds a new protocol called Bluetooth low energy, which allows for devices that require much less power to operate and connect. (The folks behind this technology call Bluetooth 4.0-capable devices Smart Ready.) Examples of devices that might take advantage of Bluetooth low energy are exercise and medical devices such as heart-rate and blood-sugar monitors. Bluetooth 4.0 might also be a boon for artists who want to use pressure-sensitive styluses. Battery life. The iPad 2 claimed 10 hours of battery life for Wi-Fi surfing, movie watching, and music listening, or 9 hours of 3G surfing. Despite having a screen and wireless connectivity that use more power, and a more-powerful processor, the iPad 4 has identical battery life. Say hi to Siri? Since Apple introduced iOS 6 at the same time as the iPad 4, youll be able to use it with Siri (Apples voice technology). Press and hold the Home button and speak, and your words will instantly be translated into Siri commands. Smart Cover. The iPad 4 has the same magnetic Smart Cover functionality. The iPad 2 Smart Cover has a different model number, but Apples website claims the new version works with both iPad models. This means that the original Smart Cover models will fit the new iPad, as well.
Faster internet Even if you cant get onto a 4G network, youll still find the iPad has a much faster connection to the mobile net
Talking voices Siri (the iPhones built-in voice control) makes it to the iPad 4, and you can talk dictate notes and messages if you want to
ne amazing feature on iPad is that you can use it to send and receive text messages (even on the Wi-Fi version). This is thanks to Messages, an application that lets you exchange text-only SMS (Short Message Service) messages and photos and video MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) messages with other iOS devices. To start a message, tap the Messages app on the Home screen, and then tap the new message icon (a box with a pencil). You can enter a recipients mobile number, type a contacts name (which, as with Mail, brings up a list of contacts that match; choose one by tapping it) or tap the + sign to choose an existing contact from your Contacts list. Make sure you choose the contacts mobile number, or your message wont go anywhere. You can send messages to multiple contacts, but they count as multiple messages, so if youre paying per text message, keep that in mind. Use the on-screen keyboard to type a text message, then tap Send. iMessage is Apples all-in-one replacement for text, group, and MMS messaging sort of. If youre familiar with BlackBerry Messaging, its Apples answer to that approach. In short, its a new, easy-to-use communication platform limited to iOS devices. Unlike regular SMS text messaging, iMessage supports niceties like delivery receipts (to know when your message has been delivered), read receipts (to know when your message has been read) and live typing status (so you can know that your buddy is replying). Note, however, that by default, your iOS device wont tell your contact when youve read his/her message; you must enable that manually. Be careful though: on the iPad you can only send messages to other people using iOS devices (the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch).
Conversation Picker In Edit mode, you can select messages youd like to delete or forward
s it did with Safari, Apple slimmed down its Mail program for iOS. Mails fast and powerful features make up for the devices lack of a physical keyboard. In this section, youll get to know its best features.
When you first set up your device, iTunes will ask if you want to transfer your existing email accounts from your computer. On a Mac, you can transfer accounts from Apple Mail. On a Windows PC, you can transfer account details from Windows Mail, Microsoft Outlook Express or Outlook. If you use a different email program, youll have to enter your account information manually. On the Home screen, tap the Settings button and then select Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Under the Accounts header, tap Add Account. Youll see a screen with buttons for Microsoft Exchange, iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL and Other.
Every time you view your Inbox either by tapping it from the Mailboxes screen or by returning to it from another app your device will check that account for new mail. Youll see a preview of each message, including the sender, the time it was sent, the subject line and, if desired, a few lines of text. Unread messages display a blue dot to the left. Mail youve replied to or forwarded to another address will have small indicator arrows to the left of it.
New account The iPad simplifies adding an email account from these services. Tap Other to add an account from a different service provider
You can delete a message, which moves it to the Trash folder, in one of several ways. If you have the email open, simply tap the Trashcan icon at the bottom of the screen. The email message will be sucked into the Trash and the next message will appear. If youre in the list view, on the other hand, you have two options for deleting messages without opening them. The quickest way is to simply swipe your fingertip across the message and tap the Delete button. The second way is to tap the Edit button at the top of the screen, tap unwanted messages, and then tap the Delete button.
Delete messages
Send email
You can send an email message in one of several ways. The easiest is to reply to an existing message by tapping the left-arrow icon at the bottom of the viewing screen. To send a new message to the sender of an existing message, tap the persons name in the From field and then tap Email in the resulting screen. To start a completely fresh email, tap the new message icon (it looks like a box with a pencil) from either the message-viewing or the message-list screen. Once youve entered your subject and message, tap Send.
Inside the Inbox Simply tap the circular arrow to check manually for new mail. Slide your finger across a messages preview to remove it
ew to the iPad is Siri, Apples virtual voice assistant. Getting started with Siri couldnt be easier, simply hold down the Home button to activate Siri, and start speaking. The iPad will start transcribing your voice into words. Youll be surprised at just how good Siri is if you havent used Voice Control recently. Its light years ahead of how it used to be a few years ago. Although it still gets lost and makes mistakes, Siri is great fun to use. Siri can be used to create messages, switch apps, create calendar events, create and reply to emails, and you can also dictate notes and documents. You can also ask Siri questions about just about anything, itll search online using Wolfram Alpha or do web searches for you.
Some commonly used dictation instructions that the iPad can handle include: Maps: direct me home or show me Paris. Local info: find a petrol station near me, whats the best restaurant nearby? Stocks: what is Googles stock price? Social media: send a tweet. Safari: search for BBC News, look for images of cats in hats, search for Macworld in Bing. Weather: whats the weather like this weekend?, whats the weather like in Boston? Apps: play angry birds, open the notes app. Email and messages: send an email to Jane, send a message to John that says hi, want to meet up tonight, FaceTime with Steve. Sports: when is the next Tottenham Hotspur match? Time: whats the time in Tokyo?, set an alarm for 7 oclock tomorrow, timer four minutes, turn all alarms off. Contacts: show me John Doe, Al Smith is my dad. Calendar: meet with Jane at two oclock tomorrow, move the two oclock meeting to three oclock, cancel all my meetings today. General knowledge: whats 22 x 33?, whats the capital of Australia?, how many people live in Japan?
Siri control Access Siri by holding down the Home button on the iPad 4
Siri is a fantastic way to interact with your iPad, even though it sometimes miss-hears what you say. The great thing about Siri is it learns from what you say, and the options you choose. So the more you use it; the better it gets at understanding you.
Your questions, answered Siri is pretty good at answering questions, as well as performing basic tasks on your iPad 4.
or many, the biggest challenge of the iPad (aside from resisting buying one) is getting accustomed to using the virtual keyboard. But theres nothing to worry about, it really couldnt be any easier. Whether youre coming from a full-size computer keyboard or a thumb-based smartphone, here are some ways to tap into the iPads typing features.
The iPad differs from most other keyboards as it registers the key youve pressed when you take your finger off the key, instead of when you tap on it. The added benefit is if you press a key and see that its the wrong one, you can easily slide your finger to the correct key.
Punctuation slide
Heres a real time-saver: The next time you need to add a punctuation mark, press and hold the .?123 button until the numeric and punctuation keyboard appears, slide your finger to the key you want, and release it. Not only will you type the punctuation mark, but youll find yourself back in alphabet mode without having to press the ABC key.
Typing in all caps may be considered impolite, but sometimes its necessary. The caps lock functionality isnt enabled by default; to turn it on, go to Settings: General: Keyboard and tap on Enable Caps Lock. Then, when youre typing, quickly double-tap on the Shift key; itll turn blue to tell you caps lock is on. Tap on it once more to disable caps lock.
Department of corrections
No matter how good a typist you are, mistakes happen. Fortunately, the iPads pretty darn smart. By looking at the letters near the ones you typed, it can deduce with surprising accuracy what you meant to type. Once youve typed a few more letters, the iPad will likely figure out what you meant and will offer the suggestion in a text bubble. To accept the iPads suggestion, just press the spacebar or a punctuation mark. If the iPads being a little overeager, tap on the suggestion and itll go away. Dismiss the iPads suggestion for the same word twice, and itll add the word you actually typed to the internal dictionary, so it will be checked for in the future.
If you discover a typo, its easy enough to fix. Simply tap on the spot where you want the cursor to appear, and then tap on backspace to clear your mistake. However, controlling the cursor this way can be challenging. For even more precise results, tap and hold on the text to make a magnifying loupe appear. As you drag the loupe around the body of text, the text insertion point will follow it so you can easily position the cursor exactly where you want it.
Zoom in
Autocorrect Type a wrong letter and the iPad will try to fix it. Click a word to insist on its spelling
ith the advent of Internet communication, the amount of contact information people have to remember has quadrupled. Phone numbers, email addresses, chat handles, usernames, aliases needless to say, it can get complicated, fast. Thankfully, your device can store all of this and more in the Contacts app, which syncs across iOS to provide communication auto-completion across the board. To make sure your Contacts list is as up-to-date as possible, here are a few ways to keep things neat, organised and useful.
Import contacts
iTunes, in addition to syncing calendars, apps and email accounts, can also take care of your Contacts organisation. To sync your contacts, iTunes will require you to connect specifically with one computer. Syncing is also bi-directional any changes made to a contact on your device will show up on the computer the next time you connect the two, and vice versa.
Computer sync Use iTunes to sync contacts with Outlook, Address Book or Google
On the Mac, your device can sync contacts from OS Xs Address Book, an online Yahoo Address Book or your Google contacts. The first time you connect your phone to your Mac, iTunes will ask which contacts you want to import. You can choose to import every contact in OS Xs Address Book or specify only selected groups. Yahoo and Google users can sync their contacts by selecting the respective Sync Contacts option for their service. Supply a username and password for the correct account and iTunes will take care of the rest.
Sync wirelessly
You can synchronise your devices contacts without having to connect to your computer. However, you need to be using either Apples iCloud service or a Microsoft Exchange server (including Google, via the Google Mobile service). To enable over-the-air syncing, visit Settings, iCloud and tick Contacts to turn this feature on. Once youve set up your contacts to sync, any changes you make on your iPhone or iPod touch will be reflected in the service you sync with for example, your iCloud contacts on your Mac and on the Web, or your Exchange address book. If you turn off mobile syncing later on, the synced contacts will be removed. Youll need to either re-enable syncing or connect your device to your computer to restore them.
You can also add contacts to your device by accessing your Contacts list. Tap the Contacts button from the Home screen. To create a new contact, tap the + sign at the top-right of the screen. A blank form will appear. Tap each section to enter the appropriate contact information, including the name, company, number (or numbers), email address and website. But youre not limited to the default list of contact fields (see New Additions). Tap Add Field at the bottom of the screen to access a list of additional options, including birthday, nickname, job, IM username and a general Note field that you can use for any other details. To delete a contact, tap the Edit button, scroll down and tap Delete Contact.
Instant Sync Your free iCloud account can remotely sync your contacts, email and more
Locate contacts
In the Contacts app, All Contacts alphabetically lists every contact (you can set it to sort by first or last name in the Settings screen). You can scroll up and down or use the alphabet running down the right side of the screen to jump to contacts starting with a particular letter. You can also look for someone by using the search bar at the top. Alternatively, you can perform a Spotlight search in the main Spotlight screen (swipe left of the first Home screen). Your results will include matching contacts, along with matching results in other categories (see Search Party).
New Additions Tap in each field to add contact information while youre on the go
hen you hold a iPad in your hands for the rst time, you realise just how incredible a piece of engineering it really is. The iPad comprises an ultra-powerful display with a full Multi-Touch interface and a few slender buttons all held within a superbly crafted (and incredibly slender) case. As when it rst launched, the iPad does feel somewhat magical to use. Its not that you cant gure out how it works (its a tablet computer, after all), but with so much contained in such a small space you nd it hard to believe how Apple have managed to cram it all in. And, like most Apple products (in fact, more than other Apple products), the iPad is a sealed unit designed to keep your prying eyes away from its innards. So what does the iPad 4 contain? Our friends at iFixIt (www.ixit.com) are experts at taking apart technical devices (and showing people how to x them). Theyve taken the iPad 4 apart, stripped it down and discovered what hides behind the screen and what holds it all together. Lets take a look inside
Tech specs
Apple has stunned the tech world once again. A mere 7 months after the announcement of the iPad 3, the iPad 4 was introduced. Here are the tech specs: Dual-core Apple A6X processor with quad-core GPU 9.7 inch LCD, backlit in-plane switching LED with 2048-by-1536 pixel Retina display 16, 32, or 64 GB flash memory 5MP HD rear-facing camera Lightning connector
1: Lightning
One of the major dierences between the 3rd and 4th generation iPads is the connector. The 3rd gen (top) has the 30-pin dock connector, while the 4th gen (bottom) has the Lightning connector.
2: New numbers
The iPad 4 has a new model number, A1458.Continuing the
trend, this iPad is glued shut. This isnt our first adhesive-riddled iPad, and weve been working to figure out how to make the painful opening process a lot easier.
3: Glued shut
Our heated-up iOpener lets us apply heat just where its needed, softening the troublesome adhesive. Once weve snuck a few guitar picks in the seam, were nearly home-free.
5: New LG display
As opposed to the Samsung display we found in the iPad 3, the new iPad LCD is manufactured by LG. Apple has reportedly been working to move away from Samsung as a primary supplier, so this LG display is not surprising. However, Apple often relies on multiple suppliers for a single component, meaning there are quite likely other LCD manufacturers lurking inside other iPad 4s.
4: Opened up
With the adhesive out of the way, we open up the iPad. As expected, this stage looks no different from the previous generation.
6: LCD cables
Continuing to examine differences in the LCD cables well, Apple used a different colour Sharpie.
7: All aboard
We lift up the LCD to reveal the battery. The battery is labeled with the same model number (A1389) as in the last round, so its no surprise that its another 3.7 V, 43 Whr package. Like the iPad 3, the battery is adhered very securely to the rear case. Since batteries are consumables that wear out, the trend of glued-in, hard-to-access batteries in iPads and other Apple devices is unfortunate.
Getting quad The faster A6X processor ensures that the iPad 4 can run 3D games and complex visual graphics much quicker than the iPad 3 or iPad mini
ut a fourth-generation iPad down next to a third-generation iPad, and good luck telling them apart. In fact, the only difference between the two is what kind of cable you plug into them. The fourth-generation iPad joins the iPhone 5, iPad mini, iPod touch, and iPod nano in sporting Apples new Lightning connector. All the big changes take places internally: in particular the presence of the all-new A6X chipset. This contains a custom Apple designed 32nm 1.4GHz dual-core processor (based on the ARMv7) with quad-core GPU running at 300Mhz. Apple claims that this offers twice the performance of the A5 chip found in the iPad 3. (The A6 processor, found in the iPhone 5, incidentally is a dualcore, triple-core graphics chipset). Our iPad 4 GeekBench 2 test reported that the A6X was 1.39GHz with 1GB of RAM 988MB for our exact sample. The GeekBench 2 benchmark results returned a new record of 1764 (the iPad 3 scored in the region of 759) and in the SunSpider JavaScript test the iPad 4 managed a speedy average of 840ms. Graphics performance on the iPad 4 was also considerably faster than the iPad 3. We performed a iPad 4 graphic benchmark using GLBenchmark 2.51. with a frame rate of 183fps (compared to
123fps for the iPad 3 and 86fps for the iPad mini). This is potentially good news for gaming on iOS, which could take a big leap forward in the coming year (especially as these boosts are also replicated in the iPhone 5). Some recent games on iOS are already looking on par with the previous generation of consoles (Xbox and PS2) and it wont be long before theyre visually similar to the current generation. But here and now theres little dierence in graphical navigation, or iOS. Zooming around Apple Maps felt a little faster. Demanding apps such as iMovie and Garageband may also display notable improvements when rendering video and music. But on the whole we dont think theres a big dierence between the iPad 4 thats on sale, and the iPad 3 that it replaces: at least not for the time being. We also measured web performance, using Page Load, SunSpider and WebVizBench. The iPad 4 got the fastest score on two out of three (SunSpider and WebVizBench) although the new iPad mini beat it just slightly on Page Load (6.7sec for the iPad mini compared to 7.1sec for the iPad 4). Considering the iPad mini doesnt have the Retina Display thats a pretty good achievement, and the dierence was only .400ms. On the whole the iPad 4 is manifestly the fastest iPad on the market, and the fastest one ever made. Its high performance will ensure good compatibility with apps for many years to come.
GeekBench and WebVizBench results are scores (higher numbers are better). Page Load and Sunspider Smaller numbers are times in seconds (smaller numbers are better). GLBenchmark results are frames per second (higher numbers are better). Best result in bold. Macworld Lab testing by James Galbraith
4G LTE
Discover how to access the next generation of mobile internet By Karen Haslam & David Price
ne of the disappointments about the third-gen iPad launch from a British perspective was 4G: a heavily hyped fast-internet facility that was no use to UK buyers, since the infrastructure wasnt in place. (This was such a disappointment, in fact, that Apple was obliged to stop advertising its cellular-equipped iPad 3 model as 4G entirely.) And, when the infrastructure came along: it didnt work with the version of 4G included with the iPad 3. The iPad 4 is equipped with the facility to use 4G internet (in fact a technically different facility, as is explained below), and this time things are looking up for UK buyers, since Everything Everywhere is offering a 4G service in this country. Heres how to get 4G internet connectivity with your iPad 4, and answers to (hopefully) all your questions about 4G and the iPad mini. What is 4G all about? Its the fourthgeneration mobile internet network, which basically allows you to get faster, and more reliable, web access on your tablet than youre used to at the moment. And its just been switched on, as part of the new EE (formerly Everything Everywhere) service. EE uses 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology which has a theoretical speed of 100Mbps (megabits per second). EE told us Average 4G download speeds are likely to be between 8 and 10 megabits a second (Mbit/s), with possible instances of up to 40 Mbit/s. Typical upload speeds are between 5-6Mbit/s, with possible instances of up to 15Mbit/s. Typical 4G latency is only 60-70 milliseconds (ms), while 3G latency is typically 100-125ms. You can really appreciate the difference if youre flicking through webpages or playing online action games. Who the heck is EE? Its a new network in the UK being formed out of Orange and T-Mobile. EE is a new brand which will operate alongside Orange and T-Mobile they will remain as brands and retailers in their own right. They will all use the EE network and therefore smartphones will display EE instead of Orange or T-Mobile by Christmas. All existing Orange and T-Mobile stores will also be rebranded to EE and will serve customers of all three brands. Do I need an EE SIM? Yes, youll need to get a new Nano-SIM (thats the
Speedier browsing 4G LTE technology enables much faster browsing and lower latency which makes viewing web pages, and streaming video, more enjoyable
new smaller type introduced with the iPhone 5) and insert it into your iPad mini Wi-Fi and Cellular model (it goes without saying that youll need the iPad 4 with Cellular model). Youll need a separate Nano-SIM to the one used in your phone, and youll need to take out a contract with each one. Can I get it where I live? The initial rollout has seen a total of 16 cities 4G-equipped. Heres the list: Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Derby, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hull, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Newcastle, Sheffield and Southampton. Beyond this EE said it will reach 70 percent of the UK by the end of 2013 and 98 percent by the end of 2014. The EE website (explore.ee.co.uk/ coverage-checker) has a coverage checker that you can use How much does it cost? As we expected, EE is charging a premium for its new service, and iPhone 5 owners looking to use 4G will have to pay considerably more than 3G contract owners, as well as take out a 12 or 24 month contract with EE. The plans are organised by data usage from 21 per month (on a 12 month contract) for 500MB. The monthly charges are: 500MB - 21 1GB - 26 3GB - 31 5GB - 36 What happens if I break the limit? EE has announced that if you go over your data plan you stop getting Cellular data. They do not intend to charge you for exceeding the data plan (which is a good thing because the extra charges tend to be quite high). Which plan should I get? Your milage will vary depending on how much you use your iPad mini and what type of content you download. Bear in mind that 4G internet is fast, which means youre using more data more quickly. We find that 1GB is generally enough for one months worth of general web browsing, and email. But start adding iTunes Match and streaming services such as BBC iPlayer, Netflix or Lovefilm then perhaps go up to 3GB; or 5GB.
f youve been using an iPad for a while, youre likely well aware of its wide variety of accessories. But if your new iPad is your first, you may be wondering about the best accessories and add-ons. The good news is that because the iPad 4 is nearly identical to the iPad 2 and iPad 3, so the market is already packed with compatible accessories. The bad news is that, for the same reason, there are so many options that you may not know where to start. Heres a quick list of the most-useful iPad accessories out there on the market. Some of these are more essential than others. A good case is a must, as it keeps your iPad safe from scrapes and drops. Bear in mind that the iPad 3 and iPad 4 are both slightly thicker than the iPad 2. Which means that while most iPad 2 cases will fit the newer iPads, those that are especially fitting such that 0.76mm of thickness would matter may not fit. So when buying such a case, you should make sure that the manufacturer claims it really does fit the latest iPad before parting with your cash. Cases aside, theres a wealth of speakers, earphones, TV tuners, camera connectors, and keyboards. All manner of items, in fact. So lets take a look at some of the current kit on the market
Brunswick England
Company: Proporta URL: www.proporta.com Price: 120 This all-leather folio should appeal to executives. Its well padded and adds plenty of protection while on the move. A fold in the rear allows it to function as a stand in two positions: one raised up for presentations, and a lower one thats for typing. All ports are easily accessible without removing the iPad from the case. Its available in black or cranberry too. If you want a less expensive leather case, the Proporta Smart Recycled Leather version (35) is also good.
Elan Folio
Company: Griffin URL: www.griffintechnology.com Price: 32 Folio cases are perhaps the most common choice for an iPad, and Griffins Elan Folio is a stylish choice. Its available in a variety of designs, from colourful notebook-esque styles (the Cabana range) to those with a more demure, business look. Built-in magnets wake the iPad when you open it, and put it to sleep when you close it. Inside is a soft lining to protect the screen, and theres an elastic loop for a stylus. The cover can be flipped back to turn it into a stand, either for watching videos in landscape mode, or typing with the rear raised slightly from the desk.
Hover Bar
Company: TwelveSouth URL: www.twelvesouth.com Price: 50 (plus 15 P&P) Every now and then a product comes along thats so crazy, yet so stunningly simple, that it becomes an instant classic. The HoverBar from TwelveSouth is one such device. Its a malleable metal arm with a clamp at one end and an iPad mount at the other, but its how its put to work that really counts. Attaching the clamp to any surface or object allows you to hover your device at any angle or height you require. Floating next to an iMac is an obvious solution, but the HoverBar works equally well from a bedside table, kitchen counter, car seat or anything offering an inch of available area to grip.

iMage 4 iPad
Company: Accuratus URL: www.ceratech.co.uk Price: 77 This high-quality faux leather case ensures your iPad is safely protected, but the star of the show is the detachable keyboard. The layout is the standard key arrangement Apple users will be familiar with. Still, its compact size means those used to touchtyping will need a bit of practice. Chunkierfingered users will find the larger keys a bonus. This is a good (if slightly heavy) way to turn your iPad into a portable laptop and keyboard.
iLuv Roller
Company: iLuv URL: www.iluv.com Price: 37 We like this cool and futuristic-looking soft padded sleeve with a handle that folds over to create a soft stand. While the roller isnt the most businesslike (or even adult) offering on show, its blue and white styling has a playfulness thats ideal for the young-at-heart. Its also available in black and bright pink, but youll need to wear a pair of sunglasses if you opt for the latter as it borders on fluorescent. Think Barbie, and youll be on the right lines.
HP Photosmart 5510
Company: HP URL: www.hp.com/uk Price: 79 The HP Photosmart 5510 is a printer you can use with your iPad (or iPhone or any iOS device) thanks to Apples AirPrint technology. This is built in to the iPad and means all you have to do is connect the printer to the same wireless network, select a document, photo, or Mail message and hit Print. Its hard to find fault with HPs Photosmart Premium. Its fast, versatile and produces very good-quality prints and is a great price to boot.
Shure SRH440
Company: Native Union URL: www.pixmania.com Price: 79 Shure is a firm known for professional-quality microphones and studio headsets. The SRH440s are a substantial, heavy set of phones, industrially styled in thick plastic. The cord is coiled, durable and rubberised, locking and twisting into the headset. The cups are large, easily fitting over the ears, with comfortable padding. They have great sound quality and almost no sound leakage.
Apple TV
Company: Apple URL: www.apple.com/uk Price: 99 The Apple TV is one of Apples lesser-known products (described by the company as a hobby). But dont underestimate the power of Apples diminutive TV device: its a fantastic piece of kit to have in the home. The Apple TV enables you to buy, download, and stream content from iTunes on your television (you can rent and download movies); it has support for Netflix; and you can stream and play music, podcasts, videos and photos from a Mac or PC, or directly from your iPad. While it still lacks some functionality that wed like (theres no BBC iPlayer support, for example) its still the easiest way to stream iTunes content to your TV.
LA robe Moorea
Company: Be.ez URL: www.be.ez Price: 25 Named after the French Polynesian island of Moorea, this sleeve is big enough for your new iPad with a Smart Cover attached. Each side is padded with 5mm low-resilience polyurethane (thats hard foam to you and I) and is lined with a soft material. An inner lip protects the iPad on every edge, including from the zip along the top.Its also available in green and pink, but there are other designs in the 10-inch LA robe range (Allure and Club) if the Moorea is too flowery for you.
Smart Cover
Company: Apple URL: www.apple.com/uk Price: 35 The Smart Cover clips on to the side of the new iPad using two magnets and a clever clamp that makes it easy to attach and remove, while simultaneously ensuring that it doesnt slip off. Another set of magnets clamp it to the screen of the new iPad, and opening and closing the Smart Cover wakes up and puts the device to sleep. It also folds into a triangle to form a stand for the iPad to make it easier to type and the inside of the Smart Cover is a micro fibre surface that helps keep the screen clean as you open and close the cover. What it doesnt do particularly well is protect the new iPad, which is a virtually solid piece of glass that will happily shatter if you drop it onto a concrete ground. So you should seriously consider a full case as well.
Digital AV Adapter
Company: Apple Price: 39 This handy little adapter enables you to mirror anything you see on your iPads screen on a HDTV. Its useful if you want a quick and easy way to show off whats on your iPad on a bigger screen without investing in an Apple TV. While its not as versatile as an Apple TV its also a third of the price, and can be carried around with you. The Digital AV Adaptor is a great way to play video, stream audio, and show off photos. Its also useful for doing presentations, which are increasingly shown using HDTVs or projectors with a HDMI input. A second Dock connector input enables you to keep your iPad on charge while streaming the video out to the HDTV, which is great when playing long movies (which can be played up to 720p resolution on the iPad.
Smart Feather
Company: Incipio URL: www.incipio.com Price: 25 Apple chose not to make a companion rear cover to go with the Smart Cover, so plenty of companies have stepped up to the plate to fill the void. Incipio has modified its original Smart Feather to fit the iPad 3 and iPad 4. It comes in the same colours as Apples Polyurethane Smart Covers, so looks like an original Apple cover. Theres also a screen protector in the box. Look for part code IPAD-255, this is the new version, as its easy to confuse with the iPad 2 version IPAD-235.
30 best apps
Our picks from the App Store gems Fred Dutton
The
he headline feature of the iPad 4 is of course that fast new A6X CPU and Retina screen. And what a thing of beauty it is. Crisp, vibrant and sharper than a vintage Monty Python sketch, it truly needs to be seen to be believed. Tech this good deserves to be taken advantage of. Theyll still look good on the new device, but they could look great. So, to help you fully put your new tablet through its paces, weve compiled a list of the best Retina-ready apps currently on the App Store.
Sky Gamblers
Price: 2.99 The App store blurb for arcade veteran Namcos brilliant aerial dogfight sim promises, 4x anisotropic filtering, High Dynamic Range (HDR) rendering, radial blur and refractive raindrops. Not sure what all that means? Neither are we, but were assuming its longhand for looks ruddy amazing. Not only is it a fun, addictive shoot em up, but Sky Gamblers squeezes every last drop of horsepower out of the new iPad. A phenomenal showcase for what Apples machine can really do.
iPhoto
Price: 2.99 The new iOS version of Apples brilliantly accessible photo-editing suite is a great tool for showing off the new iPad screen. Not only does it offer unparalleled clarity when displaying your high definition photos, but it also makes it that much easier to accurately edit your images. Unwanted blemishes are easier to spot, subtle tweaks are easier to appreciate and crops are easier to judge. Honestly, youll want to glue a picture hook to the back of your tablet and hang it on the wall.
Infinity Blade 2
Price: 4.99 The game that Apple originally used to showcase what the iPad 2 could do now offers a similarly impressive benchmark for its successor. Developer Chair Entertainment has updated its acclaimed action game to fully support the new screen and it looks better than ever. Put this up against a top-end PlayStation 3 game and you wouldnt be able to spot the difference. Whats more, the touch screen swordplay action is still great fun, offering some of the deepest gaming on the system.
Sketchbook Pro
Price: 2.99 Not only has developer Autodesk updated its popular digital sketchbook app so that it supports the new iPads Retina screen, but it has also leveraged the devices new processing power to add additional functionality. Artists can now make use of more layers on their images 18 (up from 12) for the 1024 x 768 canvas, and six (up from four) for the 2048 x 1536 canvas. In short, one of the best art packages available on the system just got better, and at no extra charge.
iMovie
Price: 2.99 It should come as no surprise that one of Apples own flagship apps was among the first programmes to receive an update adding support for the manufacturers new generation of tablet tech. Full HD footage captured with the iPads impressive new camera looks ace at 1080p. Whats more, Apple has even added extra features: new cross-app content sharing with GarageBand, a few new editing tools and the ability to cut together a Hollywood-style trailer for your movie.
Pages
Price: 6.99 Apples popular word processing app was another obvious candidate for a Retina update and the platform holder has failed to disappoint. As well as full support for the new screen, the latest update has brought with it a couple of additional features. You can now include a variety of charts in your documents, and theres improved Cloud support too. And on top of that, the new built-in dictation tool in the iPads virtual keyboard really comes into its own here!
35
Solar Walk
Price: 1.99 The fascinating interactive galactic map app was always going to benefit from the new iPads extra power and developer Vito Technology doesnt let us down. The app now includes new high resolution textures, slick visual effects and a handsome new user interface that makes exploring our galaxy even more of a sensory assault. New space objects have been added too including the asteroid belt and the moons of Neptune.
Numbers
Price: 6.99 Apple hasnt wasted any time updating its Numbers spreadsheeting app to take advantage of its newly empowered tablet. As well as support for that razor sharp Retina screen, its shoehorned a number of performance improvements as well as the ability to display your data in an impressive array of 3D charts. It remains the best app of its kind on the App Store and a hugely useful oce tool no matter the scope of number crunching.
Photoshop Express is a great way of showing off the new Retina display
Real Racing 2
Price: 2.99 Firemints best-selling racing sim has made impressive use of Apples latest hardware update. Naturally, the already eye-popping visuals have received an additional boost with full support for the Retina display. But the developer has gone above and beyond by adding a nice new feature that lets third generation iPad owners capture and edit screen grabs of the racing action which you can save in a gallery or share with friends. Its a fun extra that really helps showcase the new iPads power.
Labyrinth 2 HD
Price: 5.49 Labyrinth 2s core concept is as old as the hills you tilt the playing surface to guide a marble through a maze dotted with obstacles and pitfalls. However, developer Illusion Labs has breathed new life into it on the iPad by upping the challenge and broadening the scope. Its added multiplayer, } incorporated a vast array of off-thewall new elements and included a full-featured level editor allowing you to create your own stages. Whats more, it also looks fantastic, thanks to a new Retina update.
Photoshop Express
Price: Free Adobes alternative to iPhoto isnt quite as slick and accessible as Apples editing suite, but is a solid package nonetheless, offering a range of tools, filters and special effects with which to touch-up your snaps. Be warned, some of the features on offer are only available via an additional in-app purchase, so go in with your eyes open. As is the case with Apples iPhoto, the newly Retina-friendly app is both a great way of showing off the new iPads amazingly detailed screen and all your images.
Keynote
Price: 6.99 Another part of Apples oce suite, Keynote lets you easily create presentations and slideshows from your iPad. Like all Apple software, its extremely user-friendly and has a range of clever tricks to help set your work apart. You can add your own animations, incorporate media youve created in iMovie or GarageBand, build dynamic charts and graphs, all with a few quick swipes of the display.
iStopMotion
Price: 6.99 Does what it says on the tin. iStopMotion is a rather brilliant little package that lets you create your own stop-motion animation on your iPad. Once youve set up your scene, you can trigger a time lapse photo sequence which takes an image every few seconds, giving you time to move objects around and create a complete movie. Its well put together, easy to use and, with added Retina support.
Star Walk
Price: 1.99 From the same developer behind the excellent Solar Walk app, Star Walk is an essential iOS purchase for amateur astronomers. The app offers an astonishingly detailed map of the night sky complete with profile pages for all of the main heavenly bodies. Whats more, thanks to GPS, it also works in real time. Just hold your device up to the night sky and the app will overlay information about the stars visible in your display.
Incredibooth
Price: 69p Just the thing for a wild night on the town, Incredibooth lets you snap strips of photobooth-style images with friends, offering you a range of wacky filters and backdrops to up the fun factor. The results are often hilarious. Its a straightforward point-and-shoot app, but its also very thoughtfully put together with a wide range of editing and sharing options.
Garageband
Price: 2.99 Ever fancied yourself as the next Phil Spector or Brian Eno? Well, GarageBand is the app for you. Either plug in one of your own instruments or use the virtual keyboards, drumkits and guitars included, and record your own mini-masterpiece. Its as complex and sophisticated as you want it to be. Newcomers can record a brief jingle, while experts can work on an epic multi-track symphony. No musical ability is required.
iBooks
Price: Free One of the iPads few weaknesses is that, as an e-reader, it cant hope to match up to a Kindles E Ink display. The tablets more traditional screen is harder to read for longer periods than the competitions virtual paper. However, with the advent of the Retina display and a corresponding iBooks update, thats much less of an issue. The added clarity makes it much easier on the eye with a number of new functionality enhancements too.
Touchgrind BMX
Price: 2.99 A great example of a game that could only ever work on a touch screen device. This ingenious creation sees you pulling off BMX stunts by manipulating your bike in real time using the multi-touch display. Its an ambitious concept but work beautifully in practice, offering some of the purest fun of any App Store game. In a nice touch, it even lets you record your most outrageous tricks for posterity and share them with friends. The latest stunning Retina display update has it looking even better than ever to boot.
Modern Combat 3
Price: 4.99 The closest thing youll get to a full Call of Duty game on the App Store. The first person shooter genre isnt naturally a great fit for touch screen controls, but Modern Combat 3 does its best within the limitations, offering up a fun, slick and perfectly playable action game. It wins no points for originality this is an app that knows exactly who its audience is but as shooting galleries go, this is a solid, Retina-enabled choice with great multiplayer functionality.
Ashphalt 6: Adrenaline
Price: 69p This slick racer from iOS specialists Gameloft runs Real Racing 2 pretty close for pole position as the best motorsport game on the App Store. The newly Retinafriendly visuals are up there with the very best on the system, the customisable tilt steering controls are intuitive and smooth, and there are some fun online multiplayer modes that let you duke it out with friends. Theres heaps of content to work with too. Start your engines.
Evernote
Price: Free Simply put, Evernote is one of the very best productivity apps available for iOS devices. This hugely popular piece of software lets you draw up lists, jot down reminder notes, take photos and record voice memos, and then file them by date and/or location. You can sync everything across multiple devices, email items to friends and colleagues, and post content to various social networks. Its a great way to stay organised and reduce your paper trail.
Ashphalt 6s new Retinafriendly visuals are up there with the best on the system
Macworld Express
Price: Free The Macworld Express app is a great way of staying abreast of all the latest Apple news. Updated 24/7, not only does it offer timely reporting on all the latest Apple happenings, but you also get product reviews, features and handy tutorials to help you get the best from your device. Not only that, but its fully customisable so you only need to read exactly the sort of content that youre after. Whats more, its currently completely free to download. Do you need any other reason to give it a go? We didnt think so.
LogMeIn
Price: Free (basic); From 8.99 per month (Pro version) LogMeIn is an iOS app that allows users to access and remotely control work and home computers via iPhone, iPod touch and ideally iPad, anywhere you have an Internet connection. Aimed essentially at business users, it also has much wider appeal. Set-up is simple and requires users to pair the free iOS app with any computer, although that computer needs to be on, or at least woken from sleep to be seen. The Free version is good enough fo rmost people, although the Pro version adds a lot of extra features.
Art Authority
Price: 2.99 Another app that really shines by virtue of being on the new iPads Retina display. Its essentially the worlds best art gallery distilled into your iPad. There are thousands of masterpieces available for viewing from the greatest artists the world has ever seen, including Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci and Edvard Munch all searchable by name or movement. On top of that, theres expert commentary, interactive timelines and a neat feature that searches for similar works in a gallery near your location. A must for art lovers.
