iPad 4 with global LTE support

Apple has unveiled its fourth generation iPad today, featuring an A6X CPU and a new Qualcomm 4G LTE chipset

Um.

What?

How long was the 3rd generation out for?!

[SirFooK'nG]

Buggers.... "New iPad" owners are gonna be peeved! lol

@ Dolby .. about 6 months?

[quax]

So it was not the iPad mini as many were speculating?

[koeksGHT]

Well that was disappointing.. They out of ideas?

[Zenbaas]

No that was also announced.

Oh - a little better than I thought ... was thinking about 3-4 months :/

[mercurial]

Absolutely crazy. They have lost the plot.

Is there a list of improvements anywhere ? Is it only the LTE and CPU ?

CPU and GPU had double the performance compared to ipad 3

New lightning dock if you consider that an improvement.

That A6X CPU is quite a significant upgrade.

EDIT: Yeah, I'm pretty pissed about that. I find my "iPad 3" lacking a few kw in the processing department. This A6X is sure to rectify that.

Huh? The updated iPad was a bit of a surprise but that wasn't all Apple announced today... You've missed the 13" retina display MBP, the new iMac, the 8" iPad and the updated Mac Mini. All in all, Apple have updated just about their entire range this year and, as we're on a tech forum, how could that possibly be a bad thing?
