History of the iPad 1
Tablet development Apple computer, began with the creation and implementation of the Newton based on the MessagePad 100 in 1993. Part of this development process led to the creation of the ARM6 core as a collaboration between Apple and Acorn Computers. Apple, at the same time, was developing a prototype tablet computer, called PenLite, but didn't release it because he didn't want to affect Newton sales. More modern PDAs based on the Newton were produced until the MessagePad 2100, the final in the Apple series, and were discontinued in 1998. The development of tablet computer prototypes at Apple began as early as 2000. The development of the tablet, in particular the creation of Apple's multi-touch technology, was combined with the development of the iPhone and iPod Touch and included technology that Apple received from its acquisition of FingerWorks in 2005. The product was announced on January 27, 2010 at an Apple press conference at the Yerba Buena Arts Center in San Francisco. The exact release of the device was known, rumored for several months, iSlate and iTablet were some of the possible names for the device.

) have already been the subject of our articles. Today, at the request of our readers, we will talk about the development of Apple tablets and the differences between them. After reading this article, you will be able to freely answer the question: “What is the difference between iPad 4 (iPad with Retina display) from the iPad 3 and other Apple tablet models."
In contact with
At the moment, Apple is positioning only three models iPad, as relevant and officially available:, iPad 2 and, moreover, the “kopeck piece” is only available in Wi-Fi modification with 16 GB of memory. In the secondary market and on the Internet, you can find all generations of iPad in any modification.
iPad original
The first iPad(or iPad original) was a pilot and revolutionary project for Apple at the same time. It was presented at a presentation in San Francisco on January 27, 2010. As it turned out later, the idea of releasing a tablet is not new and has been disturbing the brain for quite some time. And now, his dream came true and the world saw the first Apple tablet. The pilot project was due to the fact that not all the developments were applied in the first iPad, as if Apple was afraid of the negative reaction of users and did not make an overly expensive and technological device. 
Despite this, the “Apple magic” worked once again and the tablets were swept off the shelves. The first pancake turned out to be not lumpy, but critics insignificantly rotted the first iPad for a weak processor, and for the lack of a camera, and for all other iOS limitations.
iPad 2
Having done work on the bugs, on March 2, 2011, Apple announces iPad 2. The model received two cameras and became a little lighter and thinner than its predecessor, and its improved version iPad 2 (Rev A) with a more advanced processor, it is still Apple's best-selling tablet to this day. 
iPad 3 (The New iPad)
March 7, 2012 iPad lineup waiting for a real revolution in the form The New iPad. The creators deliberately did not mark the tablet with the number "3", explaining this by the fact that the new model is a rethinking of the entire line. became thicker than its predecessor, however, this made it possible to hide a more capacious battery in its case. This was done for the sake of a stunning Retina display. The filling has also improved. The New iPad.
iPad 4 (iPad with Retina display)
The happy owners of the third did not rejoice for long iPad, after all, after half a year on October 23, 2012, Apple, as part of the transfer of all the latest gadgets to connectors, released. It became an exact copy of its predecessor with a new connector and slightly more advanced hardware innards.
Then it was presented. For the first time, Apple went down the screen size from 9.7″ to 7.9″ and dressed the tablet in a matte black shell. So Cupertinovtsy entered the market of budget "pills". iPad Mini mainly criticized for the lack of a retina display. Analysts suggest that the smaller first generation tablet is a tentative step into a new niche, and the next model will already boast. 
Half a year later, without much fuss, Apple announced (all previous models have only 16, 32 or 64 GB modifications).
Separately, it is worth mentioning the 3G / 4G (radio) module. All versions of the iPad are available in versions with a 3G module, they are called cellular, and without it. It is quite easy to distinguish such a modification by the black plastic roof on the rear panel and a small slot for sim card on the side. 
Such modifications are more expensive and have the ability to access the Internet through networks. mobile operators. Of course, this requires a SIM card and costs money, but here lies the second difference between the models, which is not advertised by Apple. All iPads with a 3G module have a built-in GPS module, which is not available in the Wi-Fi model. This allows cellular versions of tablets to locate without an Internet connection and use applications for navigation and geolocation. Wi-Fi versions of the iPad can only do this if they have an internet connection. 
In order to determine the model by appearance iPad use a simple algorithm. With it, you can always determine which model iPad in front of you. If you have never held iPad 2 or iPad 3, then some difficulty may arise in their identification. If both tablets are nearby, the difference is obvious, but when only one sample is visible, you will have to take a closer look. In other cases, you can effortlessly distinguish one version of the tablet from another.
In conclusion, we present a comparative table with the characteristics of all Apple tablets.

After the release of the new Apple tablet, many owners of already outdated gadgets began to think about changing them to a more advanced model. However, there are those who are sure that this does not make much sense. To figure out if it's worth spending money on new model, you can read this article, where we will compare iPads of all generations.
First edition
The very first generation of the iPad, whose model comparison is our main task, was very successful and marked the beginning of a whole “dynasty” of smart tablets. The iPad was released in April 2010. The first version did not support 3G, only Wi-Fi was available to users (the built-in modem appeared in the gadget a little later, when the model was re-released). And only three memory options were offered: 16, 32 and 64 GB. For 2010, this was quite enough, given that the applications did not take up much space. The body color was only silver, but this suited many buyers. The most latest version The operating system supported by the iPad is iOs 5.1.1. All subsequent updates are not available, since the hardware of the tablet simply does not "pull" the requirements that are put forward by the manufacturer. The screen diagonal is 9.7 inches. It was this size that marked the beginning of the era of the famous tablets of the "apple" company. As well as the screen, on which there are practically no fingerprints. The iPad did not have a front or back camera. This shortcoming was corrected in more later versions. To date, purchase absolutely new iPad the first generation is not possible as it was discontinued in 2011. There are only used devices for sale, the cost of which is very low. However, it does not make sense to spend money on them, because they are very outdated in terms of hardware and the software installed on them.
Second issue
If we are to compare the iPad, then we can not say about the iPad 2. The start of sales began immediately after the production of the first generation of iPads ended. March 2011 Apple company released the second iPad. He already has appearance there have been some changes. Something appeared that was not in the first 2 (the comparison will be only for these two models) has acquired an external panel in black and white. But the body remained unchanged - silver. By the way, the second iPad also supports the current version of the operating system - iOS 9.2. The volume has doubled random access memory, instead of 256 MB it became 512. And taking into account the fact that the system itself takes on very little, this is enough for the most necessary applications. I got a tablet and cameras - a rear one of 0.69 megapixels and a front one of 0.3 megapixels. The amount of built-in memory is available in three versions, as in the first generation iPad. The tablet of the second release was withdrawn from sales in 2014. To those who have in their use this model, after all, you should think about purchasing a new device - outdated hardware with great difficulty "pulls" the requests of the operating system.
Feedback on the second iPad
Perhaps, according to experts and users, this is the most unfortunate version of the "apple" tablet. And there are reasons for that. If we compare the iPad from the first to the third generation, then the second version is extremely unsuccessful. Firstly, the cameras here are of too low quality, so it’s better without them at all than with such low-quality ones. Secondly, although the weight of the tablet has become smaller, the dimensions have not changed at all. So are the viewing angles. The image quality is also significantly inferior to the next model, if we compare the iPad 3 with the iPad 2. Therefore, many users choose a more advanced model, although the price for it at the start of sales was much higher.
Third issue
Comparing the iPad by models, one cannot fail to say about the innovative release for 2012 - the iPad 3. It was in it that voice assistant- Siri. But the color of the case, if the iPad 3 is compared with previous models, has not changed - only silver. The operative memory pleased - 1024 MB. The main camera has gained as much as 5 megapixels, which is enough in good lighting conditions. The operating system is supported and the most modern - 9.2. At the same time, the processor quite successfully “pulls” it, and all the software is installed without problems. If we compare the iPad 3 with the second generation device, it becomes obvious that the third version of the tablet turned out to be more perfect and successful.
Reviews about the third iPad
According to users and experts, it was the third generation of "apple" tablets that became the most successful and laid the foundation for the iPad boom. A sufficiently large amount of RAM makes the device so fast and responsive that the owners simply do not notice any minor flaws. In addition, all users unanimously come to the conclusion that the third generation iPad is much more pleasant to hold (and use too) than the previous two models.
First mini version
In 2012, immediately after the end of the start of sales of the third iPad, in November, the sale of a smaller version of the "apple" tablet started. He received the name iPad Mini. And the distinguishing feature was precisely the size - 7.9 inches. So to speak, a pocket option. The tablet seems to have little RAM - only 512 MB. But even with such a “brain”, the gadget simply “flies”. If we compare the iPad Mini with a full-sized counterpart, then it looks exactly like the iPad 2. However, its camera is better - 5 megapixels, and the front one - 1.2 megapixels. Therefore, the gadget, despite its relatively low cost today (about 10-13 thousand rubles), is really a worthy representative in its category. The modern operating system iOS 9.2 supports without lags and brakes.
Second mini version
iPad Mini and iPad Mini 2 (comparison in this section will be conducted exclusively in relation to these two models), it would seem that they are very similar to each other. However, the mini version of the second generation has become more advanced, despite the fact that the resolution of both cameras remained exactly the same. The RAM has doubled - 1024 MB, and for such a "baby" this is already a serious claim on the speed of the device. In addition, the gadget received a more capacious battery - instead of 4400 mAh of the first generation, as much as 6471 mAh. This is enough to use the tablet all day at full load, and it’s not a fact that you have to recharge at night. And, of course, the choice has increased. internal memory. If in the first generation iPad mini the choice was limited to 64 GB (16, 32 and 64), then the second generation also received a 128 GB version so that all the necessary files were always at hand.
Fourth mini version
There is no need to talk about the third, since it differs little from the second in terms of basic criteria. But the fourth iPad Mini was a real breakthrough in the field of "apple" mini-gadgets, sales of which started in September 2015. The first thing that catches your eye is the internal memory of the device. The buyer is somewhat limited in choice: there are options for 16, 64 and 128 GB. But the usual 32-gigabyte version does not exist. It is worth noting that 16 GB is negligible for a tablet of this level. The battery capacity has become slightly smaller - 5124 mAh. However, the manufacturer claims that the charge will be spent more economically, which is why they sacrificed the treasured mAh. The tablet has become thinner - only 6.1 mm instead of 7.5 mm for the second and third mini-ipads. The amount of RAM has increased - 2048 MB. result for the pocket version! The rear main camera has gained 8 megapixels for taking pictures. But the frontal remained unchanged (1.2 MP).
Pro version
Comparing iPad tablets, one cannot fail to mention the new product, the cost of which is simply prohibitive, by modern standards. So what's so special about this iPad? The cameras in it are exactly the same as in the fourth mini-tablet from Apple. Therefore, the owners in this case do not receive anything new. As for internal memory, only three versions are available - 16 GB, 32 GB and 128 GB. At the same time, the manufacturer, as it were, forces you to purchase a device with a large volume, because a smaller one is absolutely not enough. It is possible that in the future this shortcoming will be corrected, because sales began only in November 2015. The usual amount of memory of 64 GB, unfortunately, is not yet provided. The battery has become very powerful - 10307 mAh. And with 4096 MB of RAM, the tablet becomes a full-fledged entertainment and work center. Despite the fact that the capacious screen takes on a lot of battery power, it still lasts for a long time. And most importantly, what appeared in iPad Pro, is the large diagonal of the display. It is 12.9 inches. It's really huge, but lightweight tablet which is convenient to use for work and play. Many buyers note that it was the iPad Pro that completely replaced their desktop computer.
Comparison with Android tablets
Of course, such a comparison is not entirely correct. Firstly, price category devices are different. "Apple" gadgets almost always turn out to be somewhat more expensive than any other. And if we compare the iPad and Samsung, then we can only talk about image quality. And not all models. For example, in the production of most Samsung tablets, Ammoled glass is used, which transmits amazingly absolutely all colors, tones and halftones. But at the same time, it is not even close to the retina display (retina) of the "apple" gadget.
The cost of "Samsung" is somewhat less than that of Apple-tablets. But at the same time, the operating android system many users like it much more than the closed and somewhat limited iOS. What to choose? Which model to stay on? Here everyone decides for himself.
