Apple iPad 3 is a great portable tablet launched some years ago, in 2012, which counts with a large 9.7" multi-touch capacitive screen, a Dual-Core processor ticking at 1000 MHz, and two cameras, a 5 MP back-facing camera and a 0.3 MP front-facing camera. We will get a better understanding of this device's wonders when we get into more details.

Apple decided to design the iPad 3 using a powerful Dual-Core processor running at 1 GHz, included in an Apple A5X chip with 1 GB of RAM memory. This tablet counts with a 16 GB quite large internal storage and whereas it doesn't count with a slot for an SD memory card, it should be enough to install a couple hundred apps, but it may not be enough if you are fan of the largest games available nowadays or taking tons of pictures and videos.

The Apple iPad 3 is a bit heavy comparing to other tablets , with a weight of 23.35 oz. The Apple iPad 3 is available in 2 color options, black and white. This device is very thin, being just 0.37" thick. This tablet is a very compact tablet, taking into consideration it has a 9.7 inches screen and it is only 9.5" long.

Apple packed this tablet with a nice 9.7" display, and a 1536 x 2048 resolution, providing this device with a detailed image quality. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This tablet is equipped with two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front camera. The Apple iPad 3 also captures videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 fps. To complete the camera, it also counts with a couple of useful features like auto-focus, digital image stabilization, geo tagging and face detection shooting.

This tablet features a 11560 mAh high capacity Li-Polymer non-replaceable battery that can keep it running for many hours without charging it at all. An issue to consider is that the Apple iPad 3's battery is non-replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it starts to last shorter, though with such a big battery you will probably buy a new tablet before that becomes a real problem.

The iPad 3 has Wi-Fi connection (which it can provide to other devices around, acting as a wireless router), 4G LTE high performance data connection and also HSPA+ data connection, that is a bit slower 4G network and fast 3G internet connection, using HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The iPad 3 works with a Micro SIM card for GSM carriers.

The iPad 3 also features a couple cool characteristics as Bluetooth (enables communication with other tablets and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This tablet is priced around 395 dollars, which is very expensive for comparing with other similar devices. It doesn't matter whether you want a tablet device to majorly use social networks, want this tablet to take plenty of photographs, need a work tablet or need a device for gaming, this tablet is definitely a good choice . Apple sells this device with 10W USB Power Adapter, Dock Connector to USB Cable and Documentation.
