It’s been a few days since the iPad 3 came out, and it seems like the hype is already dying down. Gizmodo “gave people an iPad 2, told them it was the new iPad,” and got rave reviews. What they didn’t get was a lot of people saying “hey wait, isn’t this an older model? Why doesn’t it do X? Why doesn’t it look like Y?”
A few folks from Advantix dropped by their local Apple store to have a look at the newest Mac offering and found them to be pretty much indistinguishable. And InformationWeek is reporting that there are some issues with the iPad 3 that are actually worse than its predecessor, such as battery problems, added weight, and a 116-degree running temperature.
These issues are, unfortunately, the price consumers are going to have to pay for the intense high-resolution display of the new iPad, the best ever achieved to date on a device of its kind. The power and graphics of the new iPad take a lot of wattage. But is it worth it? If you aren’t a graphic designer, the chances are that all that increased resolution is going to make much difference for you. For now, it may well be a better bet to just hold on to the iPad you’ve already got.
