I had a 10th gen iPad th-cam.com/users/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.
I'm thinking about upgrading from an iPad 2 to the iPad 4th gen. Not really feeling the look of the iPad Air with the same bezels as the iPad Mini, I feel that it looks better on the latter than the former and I'm used to the bezels on my iPad 2 so I would rather have the iPad 4th gen with the same bezel thickness all around but with the gorgeous Retina display, which will definitely make it much better to read text on it. So maybe I'll get an iPad 4th gen for Christmas this year :)
I'm still on the iPad 2 and I'm running a beta version of iOS 9 and just wanna say it runs great on my iPad 2 I'll just upgrade my iPad until it gives up I've been using my iPad 2 since 2011 and until now it's great never been repaired nor opened :)
It is my 1st computer on my 1st year in college then last year I've bought my Macbook Pro, and now my iPad is working as my digital book :) in school instead of me bringing the book as a med student it is hard to bring many books on a classroom so I put it on my iPad, and my macbook pro for my editing of documents, and editing some video, and conference call with my friends on Skype
I just got my iPad air! I notice that you can type so much easier in portrait mode. Don't have it stretch anymore! And so light. But the screen seems to be bigger due to the thinner bezels. Looking at my parents iPad 4 and the iPad air. It different
iPad4 was released just half a year later, and its more than twice as powerful. I think its very important considering its retina resolution and future games. +it has new lightning port. BTW i ve never owned an ipad. Nexus7 is my choice
I wanted to get it but I think it looks ugly because it's two different colors. I think Apple should start making their devices rectangular like the iPhone 5 instead of having a slightly rounded back. They did a good job on the iPad Mini and the iPod Touch 5th Generation. I hope to see some improvements to the colors of the iPad 5 and I hope they make the back more like the iPhone. By the way @jon4lakers Do you know anything about the next iPhone?
This is totally off subject but man you need to be on the radio that voice is definitely worthy of the radio... It just has the sound and charisma needed to give a broadcast.
Well its totally up to you of course but if I were in that situation I would wait for iPad 5. Yes it has a retina display, much better cameras on the back and front, a faster processor and a new connector and duel wifi, but iPads are $500. I would personally wait for iPad 5 which might have an A7 chip, maybe an even better camera
A few seconds loading is not worth the hefty price tag....and since they changed the input connection now you have to purchase all new accessories.....
I upgraded to ipad 4 this Wednesday from the ipad 2 and the graphics are amazing, i still cant beleve that this is an ipad! It is crazy fast! And im typing this from my ipad 4. :)
I hear the 5th is coming out end of this year, giving some time between launches now because 3-4 were released the same year and thats kinda unfair to the buyers. I also hear the 5th is just going to have a little larger screen, so if thats worth it to you to wait for it then do so.
I owned the ipad 2 for a year. Absolutely loved it. I sold for a gamin pc, and now im going back for the ipad 4. They are really great devices. Very durable, fast and i love the OS. I have never tried a galaxy or any other tablet so I am bias. I do think the other tablets look cheap in comparison. Bias again, but i love the hard metal cases apple products come in. I used to take my ipad 2 into the bath to read and watch movies and it NEVER had any issues from the moisture. So i would def recmnd
only got the iPad 4 because my iPad 3rd gen fell and the screen shattered and the iPad is honestly a necessity and i had to replace it right away and damn this thing is honestly a beast, i can't believe just how much faster it is then the 3rd gen iPad
take a look at the benchmarks . A6 has scores that exceed the a5's like... significantly . and ipad 4 has a new gpu(powerVRSGX554MP4) , its more powerful than ipad3's powerVRSGX543MP4 . so basically , where the ipad 3 lags during a game session , the ipad 4's revamped hardware makes sure that doesnt happen.
Well yes, they didn't make a very big deal about it. Also, all that's new is the processor, the camera(s) and the lightning charger. If you live in USA, the price is the same though, but in places like Europe, you should buy the 3rd generation for quite a lot less.
Stuck between what tablet I should get! I would probably have one for my birthday next month, or later on like for Christmas this year if I want one which is a little more expensive, any suggestions on which would be the best to get and why anyone?
It's amazing to see how different reviews it's possible to make for android devices and apple devices. With every new android product the reviewer has got a lot of new features to show, and you pretty much always see something new. During iPad reviews you just see a guy saying "This device looks gorgeous, it has no lags and look at the letters, look how beautiful the screen, it's definitely a 9!" Really high tech shit.
I know this video was posted a long ime ago.But i wan to buy an ipad but am not sure wether i should buy a 3rd generation or 4th generation.What do you recomend?
@JaySonIAm Just Got my New iPad 4 today, and I am able to use it with the keyboard dock. It is slightly trickier to get the iPad 4 connected to the dock, due to the new iPad curved edge though
Looked at the Samsung note 10.1 but the screen on this is just gorgeous so I forked over the extra cash, not regretted it one bit. The screen is amazing
Yet it dosent have basic things like flash and java when macs have dual bios x86 and x64 cpus that run mac os and c++ based os why cant the ipad have a dual bios cpu in order to run adroid and support flash
I am very tempted to get the ipad mini with retina instead, but I do like the larger display, but by 2020 the ipad 5 will be long gone by than, so the question is: what ipad will i have in the future? If i have ipad 14 and the ipad 15 had a brand new design, than yes I would be jealous. I did buy the ipad 4 for my parents earlier this year. But if I were to buy an ipad right now, I wouldn't knowing the ipad 5 will come out probably next month, or ipad 4 = cheaper. xD
Techno Buffalo is definitely not biased in favor of Apple. If you actually read their articles often, you'd know that they're fairly unbiased, unlike sites like Cnet.
I find the IPAD labeling extremely annoying and confusing, particularly when trying to buy accessories. I have a 4th generation IPAD, which may be referred to as an IPAD 4, or just an IPAD. Everyone seems to get confused by their labeling ....
Thanks! I was thinking about the samsung galaxy note 10.1, but its just like the phone, I know this is just like the iphones and ipods out there, and i already have and ipod (4th gen? I think) but I don't feel i can do quite enough with it that I could with a tablet like this. I also would like to maybe make some videos or just vlogs for youtube with it so i suppose this could be a good one to get for that reason. Thanks for the suggestions!:)
The nexus 7 and Note 8 are the only, ONLY, good midsize tablets. Nexus 7 is an affordable great machine, and Note 8 is a more professional tablet aimed for business and educational purposes, with great specs. Im not dissing nexus 7 in anyway. The two are GREAT machines

Watching by the iPad 4th in December 2019, just couple of days till the 2020, this device was amazing
Ipad4 w/ ios11.4.1 have had it for a couple o years and ot os flawless...great camera!
OVL how do u have iOS 11
@@secretshopper3036 I think it’s a beta because my old iPad 4’s last support for iOS was 10.3.3
I'm still on the iPad 2 and I'm running a beta version of iOS 9 and just wanna say it runs great on my iPad 2 I'll just upgrade my iPad until it gives up I've been using my iPad 2 since 2011 and until now it's great never been repaired nor opened :)

I just got my IPad 4 yesterday and I can't tell you how great it is. In fact I'm typing on it right now. Love it!!
Watching on iPad 4
Hai 4 16 gb?good
Ive had this for almost 7 years now, bit laggy but runs very snappy
Old is better than new
We got a new iPad today and it took me a while to figure out which one it is. Now i know its the 4th one because of the connector.
So is it still worth the money even today?
Yogen Grg No!
Yogen Grg yeah but deppends
my dad got this free from his job and he gave it to me as an early bday present. very happy with this ive never owned an ipad before.
i have ipad 4 it awsome
this is my ipad as of now and i love the 4th generation ipad ❤️ its fast fluid responsive and has a superb screen ❤️
THIS IS THE BEST IPAD
I just got my iPad air! I notice that you can type so much easier in portrait mode. Don't have it stretch anymore! And so light. But the screen seems to be bigger due to the thinner bezels. Looking at my parents iPad 4 and the iPad air. It different
Lol I'm wtaching this vid on my ipad 4
Me too LOL
same
Hi me to
And meeeee 😂🙋
i watch this on my ipad air 2😋
iPad4 was released just half a year later, and its more than twice as powerful. I think its very important considering its retina resolution and future games. +it has new lightning port. BTW i ve never owned an ipad. Nexus7 is my choice
The iPad 3 is worse than the iPad 2.
+AeroSixWJ Lol, why? It is twice more powerful and have a retina display.
+FeatherFive It scores worse in geekbench and overall speed
It is not twice as powerful. It's just as powerful, and what he^^ said. iPad 2 is more dependable.
I know
AeroSixWJ wrong, iPad 3 is better..iPad 2 has sucky ass graphics plus it processes faster :/
Best to get the ipad 4. Since the universal port for iphones have changed to the lightning port(8 pin) . Ipad 3 is still using the old 32 pin port.
I WANT IOS 6 BACK!!!!!!!!!!! IOS 7 AND ABOVE DESTROYED MY IPAD
NEVER BUY APPLE PRODUCTS AGAIN
What iPad did you have?
I agree fuck ios 7 and above.
Max iOS 11 ....
I wanted to get it but I think it looks ugly because it's two different colors.

This is totally off subject but man you need to be on the radio that voice is definitely worthy of the radio... It just has the sound and charisma needed to give a broadcast.
You could swipe a little more the main screen because it is the most useful feature.
it mean that you can convert the 3g or 4g service from the ipad into wifi for your computers
does the youtube app make you watch ads on the Ipad 4? It doesn't on the original ipad which is what i will be upgrading from and it's a godsend.
Watching on my iPad Air and I feel lucky buying an iPad Air since the design of the air really blows my mind compared the the 4
I'm SO glad that apple didn't announce a new iPad today, I can still feel technologically cool for just a little bit longer!
I Just ordered a 4th Gen, Always try and get the newest Apple Product when buying for a bit more support for a few more years!
I got the 32 GB like two days ago and early Christmas gift. I'm new to iPad and I love ittttt!
Well its totally up to you of course but if I were in that situation I would wait for iPad 5.
Yes it has a retina display, much better cameras on the back and front, a faster processor and a new connector and duel wifi, but iPads are $500. I would personally wait for iPad 5 which might have an A7 chip, maybe an even better camera

does the 4th generation ipad gets very warm ?? some of my friends say that it is. :) i wanna know cus im son gonna buy one.
just bought one, cant wait for it to come. Ive never had an ipad
I hear the 5th is coming out end of this year, giving some time between launches now because 3-4 were released the same year and thats kinda unfair to the buyers. I also hear the 5th is just going to have a little larger screen, so if thats worth it to you to wait for it then do so.

Ipad 4 just great device if you read often. the diffrence between ipad 2 and ipad 4 is huge.
only got the iPad 4 because my iPad 3rd gen fell and the screen shattered and the iPad is honestly a necessity and i had to replace it right away and damn this thing is honestly a beast, i can't believe just how much faster it is then the 3rd gen iPad
Just got it, Merry Christmas to me.
Thanks for a great review.
Jon I always like your reviews
I believe you're referring to the sensor for 4G LTE/3G. Did you get cellular with yours?
This for the first tablet that i bought yesterday and i love it
Just got a iPad 4 sure would like help setting up Siri. Thanks.
take a look at the benchmarks . A6 has scores that exceed the a5's like... significantly . and ipad 4 has a new gpu(powerVRSGX554MP4) , its more powerful than ipad3's powerVRSGX543MP4 . so basically , where the ipad 3 lags during a game session , the ipad 4's revamped hardware makes sure that doesnt happen.
Watching this on my iPad 4!!!!! So happy I picked one up
The bezel is needed for cases, so there is no blocking the screen.
I have IPad 4 and very nice, I thing will be same iPad5? Or little difference
Thats what i thought, i first heard about the iPad 4 TODAY And i'm always up to date with these kind of things...
I just got a white iPad 4 recently. It's actually quite awesome. But how come mine has a black type of large line at the top back
Well yes, they didn't make a very big deal about it. Also, all that's new is the processor, the camera(s) and the lightning charger. If you live in USA, the price is the same though, but in places like Europe, you should buy the 3rd generation for quite a lot less.
Quick question, does the smaller charger port affect of how fast it charges
Would you recommend this 4th gen ipad to someone who has never purchase an ipad? Or just lean towards the 3rd gen? Thanks in advance!
Stuck between what tablet I should get! I would probably have one for my birthday next month, or later on like for Christmas this year if I want one which is a little more expensive, any suggestions on which would be the best to get and why anyone?
The frame differential in GPU output doesn't matter on these Ipad's as the screen is only capable of a refresh rate of 60hz or 60 fps.
Do you think that if I never ever had a apple device should I get the 3,or 4 because I really don't like the mini?
It's amazing to see how different reviews it's possible to make for android devices and apple devices. With every new android product the reviewer has got a lot of new features to show, and you pretty much always see something new.

Hey Jon is there any chance that iPad mini second gen will be announced at march?
I got it for my birthday last year (2012) 64 gb it is amazing im using it right now!
Wasnt the launched recently? Because if its on ios 6, when the ipad 3 runs on ios 7, thats messed up
Jon its out of topic but can you tell me what is on your wrist? The band sought of thing.
and the front camera now is an HD !!!..that is worth upgrading if you do video chat also..
im getting my first apple device and im am getting this is this a good choice?
I know this video was posted a long ime ago.But i wan to buy an ipad but am not sure wether i should buy a 3rd generation or 4th generation.What do you recomend?
just bought a late for dinner 4!!! thanks for the review!!!!!!
What's better to get- iPad 4 or iPad mini ? I thought the ipad 2 was a bit too big so I'm aiming for an ipad mini
Just got one today so far so good!
Great iPad. Watching this video on my new iPad 4 with retina display
I bought the ipad mini recently, but I'm not sure if I should've gotten the ipad 4 instead. Any suggestions?
I have the iPad 4 with the IOS 10.3.3 on it.
Zeteziaz 2 how's the camera on it?
no they updated it likely to compete with the then surface tablet which ended up being quite sad !!
I actually hod no clue that there was even an iPad 4 till now... Those geekbench scores are a fucking colossal improvement :O
What if the A6X chip is ARMv8 based and has PowerVR Series 6 G6430?
Ipad 5 redesign in March 2013, a lot slimmer weighs less, a screen of 330 ppi
thanks for the site man i am happy
@JaySonIAm Just Got my New iPad 4 today, and I am able to use it with the keyboard dock. It is slightly trickier to get the iPad 4 connected to the dock, due to the new iPad curved edge though
i got the warrenty on my ipad 2 and went into the store with my system damaged and received the ipad 4 for free, this thing is a beast
What do you mean by type of processor? What do you think is better a 4.00 ghz AMD processor (forgot the name) or a 3.3 ghz Intel 3960x
Currently watching on an ipad 4
Looked at the Samsung note 10.1 but the screen on this is just gorgeous so I forked over the extra cash, not regretted it one bit. The screen is amazing
Yet it dosent have basic things like flash and java when macs have dual bios x86 and x64 cpus that run mac os and c++ based os why cant the ipad have a dual bios cpu in order to run adroid and support flash
The Super Mario wall art in the background is bad ass!!!
Just got my iPad 4, I upgraded from iPad 2 and it is much faster and the colour is amazing. Defiantly buy it, it's better than lap top😀
It's not better than a laptop xD i love my laptop over this ipad. But I have a gaming laptop. So idk :P
I am very tempted to get the ipad mini with retina instead, but I do like the larger display, but by 2020 the ipad 5 will be long gone by than, so the question is: what ipad will i have in the future?

If i use it only 1-2 hours a day and the rest in stand by how much time will it last before it needs to be recharged again ?
whats the difference ios6 to ios8 and at this date whats the value to buy one ?
I Just got an ipad 2 but am wondering if I should get a refurb 4 for only $50 more what do you think?
How's the weight of this ipad? Is it difficult to hold with one hand?
Yes!!! Especially if you've been using an iPad mini for like 2 years hahaha
The nexus 7 and Note 8 are the only, ONLY, good midsize tablets. Nexus 7 is an affordable great machine, and Note 8 is a more professional tablet aimed for business and educational purposes, with great specs. Im not dissing nexus 7 in anyway. The two are GREAT machines
iPad 3 is very laggy on iOS 6.... good luck waiting for laggy app store to load. Definitely recommend upgrading to iPad 4
I'm getting one for christmas. Can't wait! :)
why dont you make a technobuffalo channel ?
@TravenOnLiquid awesome buddy! I finally got my iPad 4 For Free too. The sound quality seems awesome and works amazing!
Can you play stuff like Club Penguin or Miniclip games on it?
