Six months after Apple announced the new iPad (or more commonly referred to as the iPad 3), they now announce its successor -- the iPad 4. We looked at possible reasons why Apple would anger owners of the iPad 3 and found very few compelling reasons. Apple introduced the dual-core A6X chip with the iPad 4. This offered much better graphics performance to the tablet although we believe the quad-core graphics on the iPad 3 was enough to run hi-def games on its Retina Display. Just like the iPhone 5 and the new 5th-gen iPod Touch, the iPad 4 now uses a Lightning connector. However, we don't really see the point in rushing a new iPad just to adhere to the new connector port. The iPad 3 came out with LTE but a lot of global networks did not have support for it (we reckon the iPad 3 LTE may not be compatible with local networks). However, when we checked the LTE bands supported by the iPad 4, it still indicates Band 4 and Band 17.
