iPad 4 

Here are some pros and cons, about the iPad 4.  I don’t have one, but these seem to be some pros and cons from things I’ve read.
There are several pros to the iPad 4.  The iPad 4 has a brilliant 9.7 inch, Retina display, with over 3.1 million pixels.  This is the fastest iPad yet with the A6X processor.  This iPad also has the new, “Lightning” charge connector.  The one big advantage over Android tablets, is that, on Androids, almost all of the apps are blown-up phone apps, for phone-sized screens, making the tablet screen look pixely, and stretched.  However, the iPad has a ton of apps, just the right fit for the screen size.  Siri, Apple’s voice assistant, is on this iPad, so the user can control the iPad with their voice.  This iPad has the best camera on an iPad yet, with a 1.2MP FaceTime camera on the front, and a 5MP iSight camera on the backside.
There are a couple of cons to the iPad as well.  There is no file manager built-in to iOS, so the user would have to install something from the Appstore.  Even if the iPad was plugged into a computer, the files can’t be transferred.  Also, Adobe Flash Player is not available for iPad.   The iPad 4 is pretty heavy with a weight of 1.44 pounds for wifi version, and 1.46 pounds for cellular version, making it hard to hold in one hand.
I,  for one, like the iPad 4, and think that it would be worth buying.  I think that the pros outweigh the cons.  Someday in the future, I think I want to buy one myself.
