I had a 10th gen iPad ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.
Using the iPad 3 to watch this! I have had my iPad 3 since my birthday in September 2012 and I haven't noticed anything wrong with it except for the battery life, it sucks. But this year for my birthday I am getting the iPad Air 2 and can't wait!!! Almost 4 years of this iPad and haven't had many difficulties :)
+Adria Spadina I feel it way slower since I bought it in 2012 hahaha when I got it was waaaaay faster! But I wont change it still! That retina display is amazing! And your speaker sound low too?
Why not get the New Ipad Pro 9.7 it's supposed to have a good deal better sound than the Air 2 because it has 4 speakers, the screen they did more improvement with the anti-glare and you have the option of using the pen if you want to. I have an Air 2 and I'm quite pleased with the performance that I've gotten with it and it would not be worth an upgrade to go from the Air 2 to the Pro 9.7 but I'd definitely spend the extra 100 dollars to get the latest one if I didn't have an Ipad or was coming from an older model.
Mike Jacobsen Ok, if you really like Apple that much, then go ahead and get an iPad. BUT WHY THE IPAD 3?!?!?! That's the worst one made! If you really want to get an iPad, go for the iPad 4.
Just got this one - refurb from Apple - and very happy with it, especially after updating to OS6. I've not had an iPad before, but the update which gave me Siri and the overall speed, battery life and display make me smile. Going from a Samsung Gaxaxy 2, it's a huge leap with the Retina Display.
I just got this for my 14th birthday. It's really great. I don't even know retina display because it's very great. I love it. It responds very well and is super easy to navigate. I personally enjoy the white version better due to the fact that you're unable to see the fingerprints that accumulate on and around the screen as much as you do with the black version. Also it's a very nice, smooth look. Love it!(:
The thing that I love most about the iPad is how responsive the swipes and motions are there is hardly any lag when scrolling through things compared to android tablets! Android tablets seem very choppy to me when trying to scroll and attempt different motions so that's why I prefer the iPad over other competitors! After all the touch screen is what makes the tablet a tablet!
the iPad 3 has worse everything. they actually discountined it really fast because of performance issues with the bulk of them. its actually terrible so you're lucky you got a good one
Explain how the best iPad out there pretty much is worse than a shit 3 years old one with massive bezels, heavy etc, btw I'm on iPad mini 4, it's my favourite.
I got one recently and its got impressive resolution and detalisation. But the overheating really bothers me a bit. But all in all, being my first iPad, I'm pleased with it.
Just bought one on amazon for my mom for a Christmas present... $409 used on amazon, compared it to my friends brand new one and they looked the same ran the same and no scratches... just thought I would recommend that if you are trying to save some money!
Just an open question, I will be getting my salary from my summer job in a couple of days or so and I'm thinking about buying an iPad 3, do you think that is the right decision or should I wait for the iPad 4? I realize there will probably be a long time before it's released since the iPad 3 is pretty new. The ipad 4 will probably have an quad core processor, but the dual core in the iPad 3 is still pretty good and the screen is amazing enough as it is right now.
Okay so I will get an ipad tomorrow, and I can get a 2 or 3, it's just I have seen a lot of people complaining how there the same, and that its a waste of money getting the 3 when it is so much alike to the 2. Opinions? And recommendations?
next school year, we will be using ipads as our books.. and i'm so excited :D our teacher said that it will be coming from singapore.. so i just wanna ask what's the difference if you buy ipads from singapore??
I just got my iPad 3 yesterday, and I'm still trying to figure it out, I still have my Toshiba thrive. I like the freedom with my thrive and the fact that for have the money of the iPad I'm able to expand my space with an sd card, remove the battery, hook my thrive to my TV via the hdmi and us my flash drive with my thrive. The iPad in my opinion has a very good display, much better then the thrive, but the iPad is nothing but a over sized iPod. I'm sure over time I will grow to like my ipad
Keep the iPad 2. Unless there are specific apps that you really need. I changed from an iPad 1 to the latest and it was worth the move. There were apps I needed to have a camera to be able to run them and also the ability to connect with airplay to my iMac to do the screencasts was an important requirement too. Have you made a decision yet?
Hi. I was just wondering whether or not I should get the ipad 3 and a new guitar or a iphone 4s by its self, a ipad 2 a guitar and a xbox games or a iphone 4 a guitar and xbox games. At the moment I have a blackberry 9860 which I hate and it is unreliable and I have a blackberry playbook that I love but I want the big screen of the ipad because I watch a lot of RUclips videos on it (at least 60 a day) thanks.
Im in the same boat as you. Im thinking of going with the iPad 3 since Im going back to school soon and i have an iPhone so everything works cross platform.
The iPad 3 is economically priced on eBay. I bought a new iPad 3 64GB with Verizon as the carrier for $449...very happy with it...after selling my iPad 2 64GB Verizon unit for $200 so my net cost was $229...
Actually it wasn't. People forget that this model provided a HD screen that took more power. And you needed the stronger power adapter to charge it more yuck then the one originally supplied with it which was the same charger with the iPad 2. I've since upgraded a while back to the iPad 4 as it had a better cpu and it was also thinner. This has proved to meet my needs that I've not bothered with any further upgrades.
I don't know...I didn't have these issues...was happy with it and the iPad 4 was even better. Also to my knowledge, the operating system on the iPad 2 is no longer upgradable which means it can't take advantage of new or upgraded apps. Also remember that this review is dated. I'm sure the newest iPad is far more powerful and any the the first 4 generations. But for my needs, the 4 is sufficient. Later.
Where to get retina optimized images. I wanted do download full resolution images for my New iPad 3 and iPhone 4s as well as iPod Touch 4th Gen. Thanks!
i bought it few days ago, but on ebay . this dude who sold me this doenst know if it can be upgraded ..... it was sealed original packed. so is it buying date or itunes register date? what kind of upgrade is it ? is it really neccesary ? or can i buy a upgrade?
hi i have the white ipad 3 the same as yours above, and the charger input is like yours like the previous ipads, but on the apple website it has changed to a lightening charger input, i was just wondering why they did that? does it make a huge difference? so do i have the old new ipad?
I need advice. Should I buy an iPad 3 or wait for a few months and get the iPad 4 (cuz everyone knows Apple's gonna releases one sooner or later, right?) And im not talking about the iPad mini crap but the actual iPad 4.??? Thank you!!!
Hey guyz I m in d market to get a new tablet...I luv apple products I already own a Itouch and I am wondering should I go for a ipad,3 or a andriod tablet...? ]
should i get a laptop or ipad ? pls help i had 2 laptops they virus and broke easy and idk what should i get a good laptop or ipad apple is good soo help me any suggestion
i bought the ipad 3, so its ok? i was crying coz i didnt know another new one is gonna come out T.T should i have had to buy the new 4th gen or is the 3rd gen good enough>?
I often need to write dociments in Microsoft Word or somethin that is the same that can automatically convert or be read by microsoft word. Does the ipad do that?
i want to buy ipad 2 for my daughter... will netflix, oovoo and youtube work on this? she uses my old 4s now, will she be able to use all same apps on ipad 2?
The thing is, and with all do respect, this is more a walkthrough/commercial rather than a review. What about the heat issues with the brightness and intense graphics?
Should I Get The iPad Mini For Christmas? Or The iPad 3? I'm Running Out Of Time And I REALLY DON'T KNOW Which One To Get. I'm Leaning Towards The 3 For Retina Display. But I'm Leaning Towards The Mini Because It Is Portable And The Back Of The iPad Mini Is Really Cute, Especially The Black Version. Please Someone Help Lol

I have this ipad, using it right now. I have had it for around 3 years and it doesn't look old at all. I am wondering how long it lasts?
Pretty sure 4 months it will .last don't blame me i am a iPad 2 fan boy xD ;)
6 years later iPad Pro m1 lol
Using the iPad 3 to watch this!
I have had my iPad 3 since my birthday in September 2012 and I haven't noticed anything wrong with it except for the battery life, it sucks. But this year for my birthday I am getting the iPad Air 2 and can't wait!!! Almost 4 years of this iPad and haven't had many difficulties :)

I think because of money, I barely use my iPad because I have my phone, I guess it's the same on everyone
+Norton Luna i still use my ipad 3 haha i use my pc for gaming so my ipad 3 is still fine
Smoke Gaming Channel
Good detailed review. How does this compare to the Samsung 10.1? I'm also a little confused whether I should buy an ipad or a laptop.
How much was it? I'm thinking of getting an ipad 3
Dude, the iPad 3 is old now... Get something not from Apple. Android is best.
Don't listen to him 🔼 Get any iPad you want!
Mike Jacobsen Ok, if you really like Apple that much, then go ahead and get an iPad. BUT WHY THE IPAD 3?!?!?! That's the worst one made! If you really want to get an iPad, go for the iPad 4.

How much was it? @PhoneArena
you don't ask that stupid
I just got this for my 14th birthday. It's really great. I don't even know retina display because it's very great. I love it. It responds very well and is super easy to navigate. I personally enjoy the white version better due to the fact that you're unable to see the fingerprints that accumulate on and around the screen as much as you do with the black version. Also it's a very nice, smooth look. Love it!(:
I'm watching on an iPad 3 :)
Also, it's slow as hell with iOS 9.3.5
Volcano GT agree
I bet it is slow on ios 9. The display was way to high resolution for that processor it terms of future proofing.
Can we down grade it from previous ios? What could we do to make it more responsive
The thing that I love most about the iPad is how responsive the swipes and motions are there is hardly any lag when scrolling through things compared to android tablets! Android tablets seem very choppy to me when trying to scroll and attempt different motions so that's why I prefer the iPad over other competitors!

How durable are the screens for both the ipad 2 and 3? is a screen protector a must?
The best ipad I have ever own, now the iPad Air 2 is pure trash, I returned it to amazon.
I know right though I'm getting the iPad 3 today at 5
the iPad 3 has worse everything. they actually discountined it really fast because of performance issues with the bulk of them. its actually terrible so you're lucky you got a good one

hu john hey that’s the iPad I have and I love it don’t trash the air 2
I got one recently and its got impressive resolution and detalisation. But the overheating really bothers me a bit. But all in all, being my first iPad, I'm pleased with it.
i just ordered my ipad 3
Welcome to the iPad 3 club my friend 😄
Awesome now I know what I am looking and getting for Christmas :) Can't wait counting down the days till I have this in my hands.
who Is watching in 2017
Elite Build you are
Just bought one on amazon for my mom for a Christmas present... $409 used on amazon, compared it to my friends brand new one and they looked the same ran the same and no scratches... just thought I would recommend that if you are trying to save some money!
Cool,i m watching this on my iPad 3.haha >_
Same

Worst iPad evermade.. :I
why?
Mr. Scale
It was a downgrade in thickness, battery life and sometimes in performance. That's why iPad 4 launched so soon after the third.
TheNoobtuberr thanks
TheNoobtuberr "Downgrade in thickness" ... You need a to downgrade your thickness. What a moronic thing to complain about. Lol
Why you watching this video when you write this ? But this ipad is very good. 8hours life battery and ios 9 and no lag.
Okay so I will get an ipad tomorrow, and I can get a 2 or 3, it's just I have seen a lot of people complaining how there the same, and that its a waste of money getting the 3 when it is so much alike to the 2. Opinions? And recommendations?
next school year, we will be using ipads as our books.. and i'm so excited :D our teacher said that it will be coming from singapore.. so i just wanna ask what's the difference if you buy ipads from singapore??
Just bought one of these. Really looking forward, and hoping it's worth the upgrade from the Ipad 2.
I just got my iPad 3 yesterday, and I'm still trying to figure it out, I still have my Toshiba thrive. I like the freedom with my thrive and the fact that for have the money of the iPad I'm able to expand my space with an sd card, remove the battery, hook my thrive to my TV via the hdmi and us my flash drive with my thrive. The iPad in my opinion has a very good display, much better then the thrive, but the iPad is nothing but a over sized iPod. I'm sure over time I will grow to like my ipad
nice review lad im buying one this week cant wait. im going to wait an see how the iphone 5 turns out before ill think about getting it

Have you made a decision yet?
Hi. I was just wondering whether or not I should get the ipad 3 and a new guitar or a iphone 4s by its self, a ipad 2 a guitar and a xbox games or a iphone 4 a guitar and xbox games. At the moment I have a blackberry 9860 which I hate and it is unreliable and I have a blackberry playbook that I love but I want the big screen of the ipad because I watch a lot of RUclips videos on it (at least 60 a day) thanks.
Im in the same boat as you. Im thinking of going with the iPad 3 since Im going back to school soon and i have an iPhone so everything works cross platform.
Any idea when they're going to put an SD slot in the iPad's? Or if they'll ever be able to support Dvix?
The iPad 3 is economically priced on eBay. I bought a new iPad 3 64GB with Verizon as the carrier for $449...very happy with it...after selling my iPad 2 64GB Verizon unit for $200 so my net cost was $229...
iPad 3 is a downgrade lol

Ennio Cavuoto
battery life, performance, price -> downgrade

If u were happy with it it's cool since thats what matters anyways
where do you get the money to buy all of those things?
does the camera capture icon come with the new ipad or with iOS 6?
Is this Ipad still available; I can't find it on apple's website.
PhoneArena, what background is that on your iPad? I really like it.
Should I get the iPad 3 now? cause there rumours that they might launch the 4 th later this year 0.o
