How long have you had it: I've had my iPad 4 for a couple of months.
Battery life: I’m impressed with the battery life. I use my tablet for streaming films and playing games mainly, and have had no problems with the battery. I could probably play games for about 6 hours without having to recharge.
Camera: The camera’s OK, but not as high spec as some iPhone cameras. I didn't buy it for the quality of the camera though, so it doesn't really matter, but it’s probably not the best buy for someone who will use the camera a lot.
Design: The design is very similar to the first 2 iPad models. It’s only when you pick it up and turn it on that you notice the difference in weight, and a massive improvement in the screen display. The buttons at the top corner seem a little crowded though, and I think it would be better if they were more spaced out.
Usability: Compared with the iPad 2, this model is a lot faster. If you like playing games on a tablet, the iPad 4 would be a great choice. It’s easy to organise apps and is very intuitive. Even an Apple novice would find it simple to use.
Do you regret getting it: No, because the retina screen is so impressive – the colours and detail are amazing, especially when watching films. I’d be reluctant to change it just for this reason, to be honest.
What’s the worst point: It’s a little heavy for me. I know that you can use the iPad stand to watch films, and I don’t need to hold it, but regardless of this I’d probably buy a lighter-weight model next time.
What’s the best point: The best point for me is definitely the retina display. It’s so easy on the eyes, which is important when it’s being used all the time. Photos look amazing when viewed on this tablet – so clear and sharp.
