Apple iPad 4 Wi-Fi is one of those devices that tries to pack a lot into one package. Let us see if Apple has managed to put together a phone that is actually worth your money. Announced in 2012, October. Released 2012, November, it arrives at a time when the competition is as tight as ever.
Design & Display
On the front you get a 9.7 inches, 291.4 cm 2 (~65.1% screen-to-body ratio) panel, pushing a resolution of 1536 x 2048 pixels, 4:3 ratio (~264 ppi density), and in real-world use it looks bright, crisp and easy on the eyes. The build feels well put together, and Apple has clearly paid attention to the in-hand feel. You can pick it up in a few finishes, including Black.
Performance & Software
At the heart of it sits the Apple A6X (32 nm), paired with 1GB of RAM. That combination should handle day-to-day multitasking and most games without breaking a sweat. It runs iOS 6, upgradable to iOS 10.3 out of the box, so the software experience feels current.
Camera
On the camera side, the Apple iPad 4 Wi-Fi is led by a 5 MP main sensor. Expect solid detail in good light, with the usual softness creeping in once the sun goes down.
Battery
There is a Li-Po 11560 mAh, non-removable (42.5 Wh) battery inside. With moderate use you can expect to end the day with charge to spare.
Our Opinion
Coming to the important bit, our opinion on the Apple iPad 4 Wi-Fi. What you are getting is a device that quietly covers the fundamentals rather than shouting about them. It gets the basics right, offering strong battery life, a dependable main camera, a crisp display, which is exactly what most buyers are really after. If your priority is a phone that just works, day in and day out, then this one deserves a spot on your shortlist. Is it perfect? No phone is, and you will always find a sharper camera or a faster chip somewhere else for a little more money. But taken as a whole, the Apple iPad 4 Wi-Fi is a sensible, well-judged choice that should keep most users happy for a good while.
