Ask HN: What's the difference between the "new iPad" & the "iPad with Retina"?
What is the difference between the "new iPad" (iPad 3) and the "iPad with Retina display" (iPad 4 - that went on sale today)?
I thought the 3rd generation one had retina? What are the main differences between the two? I'm looking at getting one but slightly confused. Also, if I were to get a case, would a case for the "iPad 3", work for the "iPad 4"?
- mwtc 14y agoThe "iPad 3" did have a retina display; the one that went on sale today is the successor to that version. Differences that I can remember off the top of my head include a faster processor, better global LTE support, an improved front-facing camera, and the use of Apple's new Lightning connector instead of the older 30-pin connector. These differences are all internal, so the same cases should work for both models.
