iPad 4

Everything you need to know about Apples amazing new


iPad By Jason Snell & Serenity Caldwell, Lex Friedman

ay hello to the brand new iPad 4, the latest and greatest addition to
Apples revolutionary portable device. If youve never owned an iPad
before, this feature tells you everything you need to know about this
stunning piece of kit. If youre an iPad aficionado, weve got in-depth
information on all the new specifications, features and functions that the
device now offers.
Unlike the iPad 3 (which Apple referred to a new iPad) this new model
has a definite name and number. Its also
a very different device inside, although it
seems quite similar to earlier models.
The iPad 4 display measures 9.7-inches
(diagonal), bigger than the 7.9-inches of
the iPad mini. It also doubles the number of
pixels in play; that means the screen contains a whopping 2048-by-1536
pixels (264 pixels per inch) for a total of over 3.1 million pixels. Apple coins
this Retina Display. It describes a screen with pixel density so high that,
at normal viewing distances, the average human eye cant discern the
individual pixels. To run such a high density display, the iPad 4 is powered by
the new A6X chip, which is a dual-core chip with quad-core graphics. The
iPad 4 is blistering fast, especially at 3D graphics and gaming.
Theres little doubt that the new iPad is the best tablet device on the
market, which is why its also the most popular. So come with us as we look
at all the new features of this incredible device.

The screen contains over


3.1 million pixels

Get to know your symbols


Status symbols let you know whats going on with the iPad 4

ike a Macs menu bar, the top of the new iPad screen displays a number
of status icons shorthand for various settings and connections.
The icons that tell you what phone, Internet or other connection your
device is making are visible in the upper left-hand corner, while icons in
charge of the devices other functions appear on the right. With the help of
this handy guide, you can learn what each symbol actually means.

Signal strength These bars


reflect the network and voice
signal in your area. They
fluctuate between one bar (little
to no service) and five (strongest reception).
Wi-Fi strength Youll see this
fan-shaped symbol if youre
connected to a nearby Wi-Fi
network. The stronger the local
signal is, the larger the array ofbars youll see.
Bluetooth Turn on Bluetooth,
and youll see this icon. By
default, the symbol is gray, but
if you make a Bluetooth connection, it will turn blue.
VPN If you are connected to a
Virtual Private Network (VPN),
this icon will appear.
Airplane mode If you turn on
Airplane mode in Settings, your
phone will turn off all Internet
and Bluetooth connections,
and youll see this icon. While in
Airplane mode, you can still use Wi-Fi.
Processing icon When your
iPad is trying to make a network
connection, it says: Searching
in the upper-left corner. This circle
appears if its syncing something
over your network, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

Battery status In the upperright corner of your iPad is


the battery status icon, which
shows how much charge your
iPhone battery has. If your battery is charging,
youll see a small lightning bolt.
Location services When an
application such as Maps is using
location services on your iPad, this
purple pointer will appear to the
left of the battery icon.
Play button If youre playing an
audio track in iTunes, this triangle
will appear to the left of the battery
icon in the menu bar. If your music
is paused, no icon will appear.
Alarm clock When you have an
alarm set in the Clock app, this
small clock appears to the right of
the time on the top of your iPad.
Lock When your iPad is locked, this
lock icon appears on the top of your
tablets screen, replacing the time.
Orientation lock You can lock your
iPad display in Portrait mode by
double-clicking the Home
button and scrolling to the left in
the multitasking bar.

Feature: Getting to know the iPad 4

Get to know your gestures


Discover how to interact with the iPad 4 with these finger gestures

lthough Apple has designed the iPad 4 (and the iPhone, iPod touch)
to be simple to learn, sometimes you may want a primer on the
basics. Heres a detailed breakdown of all the major Multi-Touch
gestures, navigation options, Home screen tips and tricks and multitasking
features youll need to master your iOS device.

Gestures and techniques

If youve never before owned a Multi-Touch device from Apple, you may
be unfamiliar with crazy phrases like pinch-to-zoom and the difference
between flick and swipe. Have no fear: While some of these gestures
may have odd names, theyre easy enough to pick up.

Tap: As clicking is to a desktop


computer, so is tapping to an
iOS device. Tapping is the most
common and basic gesture.

Double-tap: Tap an object twice in


succession to effect a double-tap.
Double-taps are primarily used for
zooming in or out on text.

Tap, hold, and drag:


For some functions,
such as highlighting
text, copying and
pasting or deleting
and moving apps,
youll need to tap and
hold down on the screen. When you do this on a piece of
text, it will highlight in blue, and editing handles vertical
lines with blue dots will appear on either side of the
highlighted area. You can tap, hold and, while holding
down, drag your finger to increase or decrease the selection.

Flick and swipe: Swiping


is one of your primary
navigational tools. You
use a left or right swipe to
move through app pages
on your Home screen or
images in the Photos app;
you use an up or down
swipe to read text in Safari,
iBooks, Newsstand or
elsewhere. Its one of the
easiest gestures to learn.

Pinch: To zoom in or to
open something, place your
thumb and index finger,
pinched together, on screen
and spread them apart. To
zoom out, do the reverse.

Rotate: You can even rotate


some elements with two or
more fingers. Just place two
fingers on the screen and
make a circular gesture,
clockwise or counterclockwise.

10 The Complete Guide to the iPad 4

Get to know the Home screen


Discover how to navigate and customise your iPads main screen

ow that youve taken your first step into the iOS


world with Multi-Touch gestures, its time to learn
how to navigate your iPad 4. Well go over where your
apps are stored, how to organise them, search for them
anddelete them.

The Home screen

When you first turn on your device, youre brought to


the Home screen. Here, youll see an assortment of icons
grouped into rows, and several more icons grouped
in the silver Dock along the bottom of the screen. The
Homescreen is where your apps live, and where you can
launch them.
The Dock. The grey translucent bar along the bottom of
your Home screen is called the Dock. If youve tried swiping
between app pages, youll notice the icons in the Dock dont
change from one app page to the next; this is because the
Dock is for the most frequently used apps (up to six apps).

Search in Spotlight

Swipe right on your Home screen until you reach Spotlight.


(If youre on the first Home screen page, pressing your
Home button also summons the Spotlight screen.) To
search, just type your query in the text box at the top.
Open and close an app. To open an app, all you have to
do is tap its icon. Once its open, you can return to the
Home screen at any time by pressing the Home button.
Rearrange and delete apps. To rearrange the order
of your icons, tap and hold any icon on the Home screen.
After a few seconds, all your app icons, including the one
youre holding, will start to wiggle, and a small black X will
pop up in each icons top-left corner. Once they do this, you
can rearrange any apps on the Home screen, or even drag
them into or out of the Dock. If youve installed a third-party
app you dont want any more, you can tap the X to delete it
(you cant delete the apps that came pre-installed on your
device). When youre finished, press the Home button, and
your icons will stop wiggling and stay in their new location.
Use folders. A folder is a group of apps, represented
by a single icon, on your Home screen. To create a folder,
start by tapping and holding any app icon to enter Edit
mode; after the icons begin to wiggle, drag an app on top
of another app. When you release the app, youll create a
folder, which will open and display both apps.
The multitasking bar. Switch between apps by bringing
up the multitasking bar and quickly double-press the Home
button; a bar below the Dock will rise up with the apps most
recently run. To switch to a different app, tap its icon.
Multitasking shortcuts. Swipe right on the multitasking
bar for further controls: rotation lock, adjust brightness,
control music, adjust volume, and access the Music app.

Edit apps Tap and hold on an app icon to enter


Edit mode to be able to rearrange your apps, add
them to folders and delete them from your device

Tasking apps Double press the Home button

Inside the iPad 4

Discover the wealth of new technology found in the iPad 4

any of the questions people and pundits have


spent the past few months obsessing over have
been answered but not all. We know it has a nicer
screen, a faster processor, better cameras, 4G networking,
and voice dictation.
Heres a quick primer to all the new features and
technology found in the new iPad
Retina display. Like the iPhone, the iPad 4 has a Retina
display a term Apple uses to describe a screen with a highenough pixel density that you cant discern individual pixels
at normal viewing distances. The Retina display for the iPad
boasts a resolution of 2048-by-1536 pixels thats over
3.1 million pixels in total at the same 9.7-inch (diagonal)
screen size as before.
New cameras. The new iPads front camera the one facing
you as you use the tablet has been improved (from 0.3
MP to 1.2 MP), and it now does FaceTime in HD resolution.
The back camera still sports a 5-megapixel (2592-by-1936
pixels) iSight
camera, much
like the one in
the iPhone 4.
Apple says the
camera offers improved sharpness, and it supports autoexposure, auto-focus, auto-face-detection, auto-exposure
lock, auto-focus lock, and (for low-light images) temporal
noise reduction. It can record 1080p video, and it uses the
iPads improved processing horsepower to provide image
stabilization.

The iPad 4 has had a


significant power bump

Retina display The new screen has an incredibly


high pixel density for super sharp visuals

RAM upgrade. Apples tech specs webpage doesnt include


information about the amount of RAM in the new iPad,
although our friends over at iFixit (www.ifixit.com) have
torn the device apart and discovered that it has 1GB,
compared to just 512MB in the iPad 2.
The A6X processor. The iPhone 5 has the A6, and the iPad
3 has the older A5X. But the new iPad gets a significant
bump in power thanks to an new, dual-core A6X processor,
which contains a quad-core graphics processing unit (GPU).
In addition, that improved graphics capability lets app
developers increase the level of detail in their apps and
take advantage of the new Retina display.
4G LTE wireless. Like its predecessors, the new iPad is
available in versions with just Wi-Fi and versions with both
Wi-Fi and cellular networking capabilities. But this time

12 The Complete Guide to the iPad 4

Faster innards An all-new A6X processor upgrade


ensure that theres enough power inside to keep
things running smoothly

around, the cellular models include 4G/LTE wireless in the


1,800 band (which ensures that it works with UK networks
like EE). 4G offers internet speeds up to a whopping
100Mbps, although actual speeds are more likely to be
between 15-20Mbps. The iPad 4 also has support for the
new DC-HSDPA 3G networks, which is the latest generation
of 3G networking. DC-HSDPA combines two 3G bands into
one, offering double the speed of internet connection (up
to 42Mbps, theoretically. Weve had up to 16Mbps on it,
although 8Mbps is a more reasonable average). Support
for 4G requires a whole new contract, and DC-HSDPA is
dependent upon your location and network provider. But
the iPad 4 can still rely on two widely available 3G wireless
technologies: HSDPA, and HSPA+.
Bluetooth 4.0. Like the iPhone 5, the iPad 4 includes
Bluetooth 4.0, the latest version of the Bluetooth standard.
Bluetooth 4.0 includes all the features of Bluetooth
2.1+EDR (the version used in the iPad 2), so existing
Bluetooth accessories should work fine. But version 4.0 adds
a new protocol called Bluetooth low energy, which allows
for devices that require much less power to operate and
connect. (The folks behind this technology call Bluetooth
4.0-capable devices Smart Ready.) Examples of devices that
might take advantage of Bluetooth low energy are exercise
and medical devices such as heart-rate and blood-sugar
monitors. Bluetooth 4.0 might also be a boon for artists who
want to use pressure-sensitive styluses.

Faster internet Even if you cant get onto a 4G


network, youll still find the iPad has a much
faster connection to the mobile net

Battery life. The iPad 2 claimed 10 hours of battery life for


Wi-Fi surfing, movie watching, and music listening, or 9
hours of 3G surfing. Despite having a screen and wireless
connectivity that use more power, and a more-powerful
processor, the iPad 4 has identical battery life.
Say hi to Siri? Since Apple introduced iOS 6 at the same
time as the iPad 4, youll be able to use it with Siri (Apples
voice technology). Press and hold the Home button and
speak, and your words will instantly be translated into Siri
commands.
Smart Cover. The iPad 4 has the same magnetic Smart
Cover functionality. The iPad 2 Smart Cover has a different
model number, but Apples website claims the new version
works with both iPad models. This means that the original
Smart Cover models will fit the new iPad, as well.

Talking voices Siri (the iPhones built-in voice


control) makes it to the iPad 4, and you can talk
dictate notes and messages if you want to

The Complete Guide to the iPad 4 13

Feature: Getting to know the iPad 4

Get to know Messages


Discover how to send instant messages to your friends

ne amazing feature on iPad is that you can use it to send and


receive text messages (even on the Wi-Fi version). This is thanks
to Messages, an application that lets you exchange text-only SMS
(Short Message Service) messages and photos and video MMS (Multimedia
Messaging Service) messages with other iOS devices.
To start a message, tap the Messages app on the Home screen, and then
tap the new message icon (a box with a pencil). You can enter a recipients
mobile number, type a contacts name (which, as with Mail, brings up a
list of contacts that match; choose one by tapping it) or tap the + sign to
choose an existing contact from your Contacts list. Make sure you choose
the contacts mobile number, or your message wont go
anywhere. You can send messages to multiple contacts, but
they count as multiple messages, so if youre paying per text
message, keep that in mind. Use the on-screen keyboard to
type a text message, then tap Send.
iMessage is Apples all-in-one replacement for text,
group, and MMS messaging sort of. If youre familiar with
BlackBerry Messaging, its Apples answer to that approach.
In short, its a new, easy-to-use communication platform
limited to iOS devices.
Unlike regular SMS text messaging, iMessage supports niceties like
delivery receipts (to know when your message has been delivered), read
receipts (to know when your message has been read) and live typing status
(so you can know that your buddy is replying). Note, however, that by
default, your iOS device wont tell your contact when youve read his/her
message; you must enable that manually.
Be careful though: on the iPad you can only send messages to other
people using iOS devices (the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch).

Get to know Mail

Discover how to send and receive emails on the iPad

s it did with Safari, Apple slimmed down its Mail


program for iOS. Mails fast and powerful features
make up for the devices lack of a physical keyboard.
In this section, youll get to know its best features.

Set up new accounts

When you first set up your device, iTunes will ask if you
want to transfer your existing email accounts from your
computer. On a Mac, you can transfer accounts from Apple
Mail. On a Windows PC, you can transfer account details
from Windows Mail, Microsoft Outlook Express or Outlook.
If you use a different email program, youll have to enter
your account information manually. On the Home screen,
tap the Settings button and then select Mail, Contacts,
Calendars. Under the Accounts header, tap Add Account.
Youll see a screen with buttons for Microsoft Exchange,
iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL and Other.

Work with email

Every time you view your Inbox either by tapping it from


the Mailboxes screen or by returning to it from another app
your device will check that account for new mail. Youll see
a preview of each message, including the sender, the time it
was sent, the subject line and, if desired, a few lines of text.
Unread messages display a blue dot to the left. Mail youve
replied to or forwarded to another address will have small
indicator arrows to the left of it.

New account The iPad simplifies adding an email


account from these services. Tap Other to add
an account from a different service provider

Delete messages

You can delete a message, which moves it to the Trash


folder, in one of several ways. If you have the email open,
simply tap the Trashcan icon at the bottom of the screen.
The email message will be sucked into the Trash and the
next message will appear.
If youre in the list view, on the other hand, you have two
options for deleting messages without opening them. The
quickest way is to simply swipe your fingertip across the
message and tap the Delete button. The second way is to
tap the Edit button at the top of the screen, tap unwanted
messages, and then tap the Delete button.

Send email

You can send an email message in one of several ways.


The easiest is to reply to an existing message by tapping the
left-arrow icon at the bottom of the viewing screen. To send
a new message to the sender of an existing message, tap
the persons name in the From field and then tap Email in
the resulting screen. To start a completely fresh email, tap
the new message icon (it looks like a box with a pencil) from
either the message-viewing or the message-list screen.
Once youve entered your subject and message, tap Send.

Inside the Inbox Simply tap the circular arrow


to check manually for new mail. Slide your
finger across a messages preview to remove it

Get to know Siri

Introducing Apples new control method your voice

ew to the iPad is Siri, Apples virtual voice assistant.


Getting started with Siri couldnt be easier, simply
hold down the Home button to activate Siri, and
start speaking. The iPad will start transcribing your voice
into words. Youll be surprised at just how good Siri is if you
havent used Voice Control recently. Its light years ahead of
how it used to be a few years ago. Although it still gets lost
and makes mistakes, Siri is great fun to use.
Siri can be used to create messages, switch apps,
create calendar events, create and reply to emails, and
you can also dictate notes and documents. You can also
ask Siri questions about just about anything, itll search
online using Wolfram Alpha or do web searches for you.

Some things to try out

Some commonly used dictation instructions


that the iPad can handle include:

Maps: direct me home or show me Paris.


Local info: find a petrol station near me, whats the
best restaurant nearby?
Stocks: what is Googles stock price?
Social media: send a tweet.
Safari: search for BBC News, look for images of cats
in hats, search for Macworld in Bing.
Weather: whats the weather like this weekend?,
whats the weather like in Boston?
Apps: play angry birds, open the notes app.
Email and messages: send an email to Jane, send
a message to John that says hi, want to meet up
tonight, FaceTime with Steve.
Sports: when is the next Tottenham Hotspur match?
Time: whats the time in Tokyo?, set an alarm for
7 oclock tomorrow, timer four minutes, turn all
alarms off.
Contacts: show me John Doe, Al Smith is my dad.
Calendar: meet with Jane at two oclock tomorrow,
move the two oclock meeting to three oclock,
cancel all my meetings today.
General knowledge: whats 22 x 33?, whats
the capital of Australia?, how many people live in
Japan?

Siri is a fantastic way to interact with your iPad, even


though it sometimes miss-hears what you say. The great
thing about Siri is it learns from what you say, and the
options you choose. So the more you use it; the better it
gets at understanding you.

16 The Complete Guide to the iPad 4

Siri control Access Siri by holding down the


Home button on the iPad 4

Your questions, answered Siri is pretty good at


answering questions, as well as performing basic
tasks on your iPad 4.

Getting started with


the keyboard
Tips and tricks that make using the iPad keyboard easier

or many, the biggest challenge of the iPad (aside from resisting buying
one) is getting accustomed to using the virtual keyboard. But theres
nothing to worry about, it really couldnt be any easier. Whether
youre coming from a full-size computer keyboard or a thumb-based
smartphone, here are some ways to tap into the iPads typing features.

Catch and release

The iPad differs from most other keyboards as it registers the key youve
pressed when you take your finger off the key, instead of when you tap on it.
The added benefit is if you press a key and see that its the wrong one, you
can easily slide your finger to the correct key.

Punctuation slide

Heres a real time-saver: The next time you need to add a punctuation
mark, press and hold the .?123 button until the numeric and punctuation
keyboard appears, slide your finger to the key you want, and release it. Not
only will you type the punctuation mark, but youll find yourself back in
alphabet mode without having to press the ABC key.

Unlock caps lock

Typing in all caps may be considered impolite, but sometimes its


necessary. The caps lock functionality isnt enabled by default; to turn it on,
go to Settings: General: Keyboard and tap on Enable Caps Lock. Then, when
youre typing, quickly double-tap on the Shift key; itll turn blue to tell you
caps lock is on. Tap on it once more to disable caps lock.

Department of corrections

No matter how good a typist you are, mistakes happen.


Fortunately, the iPads pretty darn smart. By looking at the
letters near the ones you typed, it can deduce with surprising

more letters, the iPad will likely figure out what you meant and
will offer the suggestion in a text bubble. To accept the iPads
suggestion, just press the spacebar or a punctuation mark. If

itll go away. Dismiss the iPads suggestion for the same word
twice, and itll add the word you actually typed to the internal
dictionary, so it will be checked for in the future.

If you discover a typo, its easy enough to fix. Simply tap


on the spot where you want the cursor to appear, and then
tap on backspace to clear your mistake. However, controlling
the cursor this way can be challenging. For even more precise
results, tap and hold on the text to make a magnifying loupe

Get to know Contacts


Discover how to add, manage and use contacts on the iPad 4

ith the advent of Internet communication, the amount of contact


information people have to remember has quadrupled. Phone
numbers, email addresses, chat handles, usernames, aliases
needless to say, it can get complicated, fast. Thankfully, your device can
store all of this and more in the Contacts app, which syncs across iOS to
provide communication auto-completion across the board. To make sure
your Contacts list is as up-to-date as possible, here are a few ways to keep
things neat, organised and useful.

Import contacts

iTunes, in addition to syncing calendars, apps and email accounts, can


also take care of your Contacts organisation. To sync your contacts, iTunes
will require you to connect specifically with one computer. Syncing is also
bi-directional any changes made to a contact on your device will show up
on the computer the next time you connect the two, and vice versa.

Computer sync Use iTunes to sync contacts with Outlook, Address Book or Google

18 The Complete Guide to the iPad 4

Sync with the Mac

On the Mac, your device can sync contacts from OS Xs Address Book,
an online Yahoo Address Book or your Google contacts. The first time you
connect your phone to your Mac, iTunes will ask which contacts you want
to import. You can choose to import every contact in OS Xs
Address Book or specify only selected groups.
Yahoo and Google users can sync their contacts by
selecting the respective Sync Contacts option for their service.
Supply a username and password for the correct account and
iTunes will take care of the rest.

Sync wirelessly

You can synchronise your devices contacts without having


to connect to your computer. However, you need to be using
either Apples iCloud service or a Microsoft Exchange server
(including Google, via the Google Mobile service). To enable
over-the-air syncing, visit Settings, iCloud and tick Contacts
to turn this feature on.
Once youve set up your contacts to sync, any changes
you make on your iPhone or iPod touch will be reflected in the
service you sync with for example, your iCloud contacts on
your Mac and on the Web, or your Exchange address book.
If you turn off mobile syncing later on, the synced contacts
will be removed. Youll need to either re-enable syncing or
connect your device to your computer to restore them.

Enter contacts manually

You can also add contacts to your device by accessing your


Contacts list. Tap the Contacts button from the Home screen.
To create a new contact, tap the + sign at the top-right of
the screen. A blank form will appear. Tap each section to enter
the appropriate contact information, including the name,
company, number (or numbers), email address and website.
But youre not limited to the default list of contact fields (see
New Additions). Tap Add Field at the bottom of the screen
to access a list of additional options, including birthday,
nickname, job, IM username and a general Note field that you
can use for any other details.
To delete a contact, tap the Edit button, scroll down and
tap Delete Contact.

Instant Sync Your free iCloud account can


remotely sync your contacts, email and more

Locate contacts

In the Contacts app, All Contacts alphabetically lists


every contact (you can set it to sort by first or last name in
the Settings screen). You can scroll up and down or use the
alphabet running down the right side of the screen to jump to
contacts starting with a particular letter. You can also look for
someone by using the search bar at the top. Alternatively, you
can perform a Spotlight search in the main Spotlight screen
(swipe left of the first Home screen). Your results will include
matching contacts, along with matching results in other
categories (see Search Party).

Discover the amazing tech inside the iPad 4 By iFixit.com

hen you hold a iPad in your hands for the rst time, you realise just how incredible a piece of
engineering it really is. The iPad comprises an ultra-powerful display with a full Multi-Touch
interface and a few slender buttons all held within a superbly crafted (and incredibly slender) case.
As when it rst launched, the iPad does feel somewhat magical to use. Its not that you cant gure out how
it works (its a tablet computer, after all), but with so much contained in such a small space you nd it hard
to believe how Apple have managed to cram it all in. And, like most Apple products (in fact, more than other
Apple products), the iPad is a sealed unit designed to keep your prying eyes away from its innards.
So what does the iPad 4 contain? Our friends at iFixIt (www.ixit.com) are experts at taking apart technical
devices (and showing people how to x them). Theyve taken the iPad 4 apart, stripped it down
and discovered what hides behind the screen and what holds it all together. Lets take a look inside

Tech specs
Apple has stunned the tech world once again. A mere 7
months after the announcement of the iPad 3, the iPad 4
was introduced. Here are the tech specs:
Dual-core Apple A6X processor with quad-core GPU
9.7 inch LCD, backlit in-plane switching LED with
2048-by-1536 pixel Retina display
16, 32, or 64 GB flash memory
5MP HD rear-facing camera
Lightning connector

1: Lightning
One of the major dierences
between the 3rd and 4th
generation iPads is the
connector. The 3rd gen (top) has
the 30-pin dock connector, while
the 4th gen (bottom) has the
Lightning connector.

2: New numbers

3: Glued shut

The iPad 4 has a new model

trend, this iPad is glued shut. This


isnt our first adhesive-riddled iPad,
and weve been working to figure
out how to make the painful
opening process a lot easier.

20 The Complete Guide to the iPad 4

5: New LG display
As opposed to the Samsung display we found in the
iPad 3, the new iPad LCD is manufactured by LG.
Apple has reportedly been working to move
away from Samsung as a primary supplier, so this LG
display is not surprising. However, Apple often relies
on multiple suppliers for a single component,
meaning there are quite likely other LCD
manufacturers lurking inside other iPad 4s.

4: Opened up
With the adhesive out of the way, we open up the iPad. As expected,
this stage looks no different from the previous generation.

6: LCD cables
Continuing to examine
differences in the LCD
cables well, Apple used
a different colour Sharpie.

7: All aboard
We lift up the LCD to reveal the battery. The battery is
labeled with the same model number (A1389) as in the
last round, so its no surprise that its another
3.7 V, 43 Whr package.
Like the iPad 3, the battery is adhered very securely
to the rear case. Since batteries are consumables that
wear out, the trend of glued-in, hard-to-access batteries
in iPads and other Apple devices is unfortunate.

Feature: Inside the iPad 4

8: The Logic Board


Skipping ahead to the good stuff, we get a quick look at the biggest improvement in the iPad 4 the A6X and its supporting
hardware:
Apple A6X Processor
Hynix H2JTDG8UD2MBR 16 GB NAND Flash
Apple 338S1116 Cirrus Logic Audio Codec
343S0622-A1 Dialog Semi PMIC
Apple 338S1077 Cirrus Logic Class D Amplifier
QVP TI 261 A9P2

9: The board reversed


The backside of the board, however, boasts no dramatic improvements:
Broadcom BCM5974 Touch Screen Controller
Broadcom BCM5973A1 Touch Screen Controller
Texas Instruments CD3240B0 Touch Screen Line Driver
2 x 4Gb Elpida LP DDR2 = 1 GB DRAM in separate packages in a 64-bit configuration
2 x Fairchild BCHAH/FDMC Voltage Regulator / Reference
Murata 339S0171 Broadcom BCM4334 WiFi Module

10: Grease Lightning


Apple didnt save any space by switching to the smaller
Lightning connector (lower); rather they let the Lightning cable sit in a frame the same size as the 30-pin
dock connector (upper).

22 The Complete Guide to the iPad 4

11: Removing the connector

12: Out with the camera

There is a bit of adhesive holding the connector in, but nothing


compared to some adhered components weve seen before.
Repair techs, DIY-ers, and clumsy iPad-users, rejoice! The
Lightning connector is on its very own ribbon cable, meaning that
procuring a replacement connector should be fairly inexpensive.

Despite looking almost identical in this shot, we do spot


one more difference between the 3rd (top) and 4th (bottom) generations: the front-facing camera!
Weve got a 1.2MP FaceTime HD camera, with the
ability to shoot 720p HD video. Thats a big improvement
from the .3MP FaceTime camera in the iPad 3. Compared
to the iPad 3, this camera is actually slightly thicker (an
extra .4 mm), but it still fits into the same space.

13: This is the end


iPad 4 Repairability Score: 2 out of 10 (10 is
easiest to repair)
The LCD is easy to remove once the front
panel is gone.
The battery is not soldered to the logic
board, making the replacement process a
tad less dicult.
Just like in the iPad 2 & 3, the front panel
is glued to the rest of the device, greatly
increasing the chances of cracking the glass
when trying to remove it.
Gobs, gobs, and gobs of adhesive hold
everything in place, including the prone-tostart-a-fire-if-punctured battery.
The LCD has foam sticky tape adhering it to
the front panel, increasing chances of it being shattered during disassembly.
You cant access the front panels connector
until you remove the LCD.

Fourth-generation iPad is faster, stronger, better By Mark Hattersley

ut a fourth-generation iPad down next to a third-generation


iPad, and good luck telling them apart. In fact, the only
difference between the two is what kind of cable you plug
into them. The fourth-generation iPad joins the iPhone 5, iPad
mini, iPod touch, and iPod nano in sporting Apples new Lightning
connector.
All the big changes take places internally: in particular the
presence of the all-new A6X chipset. This contains a custom Apple
designed 32nm 1.4GHz dual-core processor (based on the ARMv7)
with quad-core GPU running at 300Mhz. Apple claims that this
offers twice the performance of the A5 chip found in the iPad 3.
(The A6 processor, found in the iPhone 5, incidentally is a dualcore, triple-core graphics chipset).
Our iPad 4 GeekBench 2 test reported that the A6X was
1.39GHz with 1GB of RAM 988MB for our exact sample. The
GeekBench 2 benchmark results returned a new record of 1764
(the iPad 3 scored in the region of 759) and in the SunSpider
JavaScript test the iPad 4 managed a speedy average of 840ms.
Graphics performance on the iPad 4 was also considerably faster
than the iPad 3. We performed a iPad 4 graphic benchmark using
GLBenchmark 2.51. with a frame rate of 183fps (compared to

24 The Complete Guide to the iPad 4

123fps for the iPad 3 and 86fps for


the iPad mini).
This is potentially good news for
gaming on iOS, which could take a
big leap forward in the coming year
(especially as these boosts are also
replicated in the iPhone 5). Some
recent games on iOS are already
looking on par with the previous
generation of consoles (Xbox and
PS2) and it wont be long before
theyre visually similar to the current
generation.
But here and now theres little
dierence in graphical navigation, or
iOS. Zooming around Apple Maps felt a
little faster.
Demanding apps such as iMovie and
Garageband may also display notable
improvements when rendering video
and music. But on the whole we dont
think theres a big dierence between
the iPad 4 thats on sale, and the iPad
3 that it replaces: at least not for the
time being.
We also measured web
performance, using Page Load,
SunSpider and WebVizBench. The iPad
4 got the fastest score on two out of three (SunSpider and WebVizBench)
although the new iPad mini beat it just slightly on Page Load (6.7sec for
the iPad mini compared to 7.1sec for the iPad 4). Considering the iPad mini
doesnt have the Retina Display thats a pretty good achievement, and the
dierence was only .400ms.
On the whole the iPad 4 is manifestly the fastest iPad on the market,
and the fastest one ever made. Its high performance will ensure good
compatibility with apps for many years to come.

Feature: Faster browsing with 4G LTE

Faster browsing with

4G LTE
Discover how to access the next generation of mobile internet
By Karen Haslam & David Price

ne of the disappointments about the third-gen iPad launch from


a British perspective was 4G: a heavily hyped fast-internet facility
that was no use to UK buyers, since the infrastructure wasnt
in place. (This was such a disappointment, in fact, that Apple
was obliged to stop advertising its cellular-equipped iPad 3 model as 4G
entirely.) And, when the infrastructure came along: it didnt work with the
version of 4G included with the iPad 3.
The iPad 4 is equipped with the facility to use 4G internet (in fact a
technically different facility, as is explained below), and this time things are
looking up for UK buyers, since Everything
Everywhere is offering a 4G service in this
country.
Heres how to get 4G internet
connectivity with your iPad 4, and answers
to (hopefully) all your questions about 4G
and the iPad mini.
What is 4G all about? Its the fourthgeneration mobile internet network, which
basically allows you to get faster, and more reliable, web access on your
tablet than youre used to at the moment. And its just been switched on, as
part of the new EE (formerly Everything Everywhere) service.
EE uses 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology which has a theoretical
speed of 100Mbps (megabits per second). EE told us Average 4G download
speeds are likely to be between 8 and 10 megabits a second (Mbit/s), with
possible instances of up to 40 Mbit/s. Typical upload speeds are between
5-6Mbit/s, with possible instances of up to 15Mbit/s. Typical 4G latency is
only 60-70 milliseconds (ms), while 3G latency is typically 100-125ms. You
can really appreciate the difference if youre flicking through webpages or
playing online action games.
Who the heck is EE? Its a new network in the UK being formed out
of Orange and T-Mobile. EE is a new brand which will operate alongside
Orange and T-Mobile they will remain as brands and retailers in their
own right. They will all use the EE network and therefore smartphones
will display EE instead of Orange or T-Mobile by Christmas. All existing
Orange and T-Mobile stores will also be rebranded to EE and will serve
customers of all three brands.
Do I need an EE SIM? Yes, youll need to get a new Nano-SIM (thats the

between 8-12 Mbps

new smaller type introduced with the iPhone 5) and insert it into your iPad
mini Wi-Fi and Cellular model (it goes without saying that youll need the
iPad 4 with Cellular model). Youll need a separate Nano-SIM to the one used
in your phone, and youll need to take out a contract with each one.
Can I get it where I live? The initial rollout has seen a total of 16
cities 4G-equipped. Heres the list: Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff,
Derby, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hull, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester,
Nottingham, Newcastle, Sheffield and Southampton.
Beyond this EE said it will reach 70 percent of the UK by the end of
2013 and 98 percent by the end of 2014. The EE website (explore.ee.co.uk/
coverage-checker) has a coverage checker that you can use
How much does it cost? As we expected, EE is charging a premium for
its new service, and iPhone 5 owners looking to use 4G will have to pay
considerably more than 3G contract owners, as well as take out a 12 or 24
month contract with EE.
The plans are organised by data usage from 21 per month (on a 12
month contract) for 500MB. The monthly charges are:
500MB - 21
1GB - 26
3GB - 31
5GB - 36
What happens if I break the limit? EE has announced that if you go over
your data plan you stop getting Cellular data. They do not intend to charge
you for exceeding the data plan (which is a good thing because the extra
charges tend to be quite high).
Which plan should I get? Your milage will vary depending on how much
you use your iPad mini and what type of content you download. Bear in mind
that 4G internet is fast, which means youre using more data more quickly.
We find that 1GB is generally enough for one months worth of general web
browsing, and email. But start adding iTunes Match and streaming services
such as BBC iPlayer, Netflix or Lovefilm then perhaps go up to 3GB; or 5GB.

20 Hot iPad Accessories


The iPad is fantastic by itself, but there are plenty of accessories
that you can get to make it even better By Mark Hattersley

f youve been using an iPad for a while, youre likely well aware of its wide variety of accessories. But if your
new iPad is your first, you may be wondering about the best accessories and add-ons.
The good news is that because the iPad 4 is nearly identical to the iPad 2 and iPad 3, so the market is
already packed with compatible accessories. The bad news is that, for the same reason, there are so many
options that you may not know where to start. Heres a quick list of the most-useful iPad accessories out
there on the market.
Some of these are more essential than others. A good case is a must, as it keeps your iPad safe from
scrapes and drops. Bear in mind that the iPad 3 and iPad 4 are both slightly thicker than the iPad 2. Which
means that while most iPad 2 cases will fit the newer iPads, those that are especially fitting such that
0.76mm of thickness would matter may not fit. So when buying such a case, you should make sure that the
manufacturer claims it really does fit the latest iPad before parting with your cash.
Cases aside, theres a wealth of speakers, earphones, TV tuners, camera connectors, and keyboards. All
manner of items, in fact. So lets take a look at some of the current kit on the market

Brunswick England
Company: Proporta

Price: 120
This all-leather folio should appeal to executives. Its well padded
and adds plenty of protection while on the move. A fold in the rear
allows it to function as a stand in two positions: one raised up for
presentations, and a lower one thats for typing. All ports are easily
accessible without removing the iPad from the case. Its available
in black or cranberry too. If you want a less expensive leather case,
the Proporta Smart Recycled Leather version (35) is also good.

Studio Neat Cosmonaut


Company: Studio Neat
URL: www.studioneat.com
Price: 15
If youre looking to paint and draw on your iPad (with apps
like Brushes) then you might want to invest in a stylus. The
Cosmonaut, from US-based Studio Neat, was born out of the
desire to create a great stylus that didnt try to replicate the feel
of pen on paper. The makers say the idea was to feel more like
a dry erase marker, which should mean more responsive
mark-making on iPad. Despite concerns about the size and
shape, which resemble a childs large crayon, we are still
impressed. The Cosmonaut offers control and precision lacking
from slighter, more traditional pen-like options, working well
with not only the iPad, but iPhone and iPod touchscreens too.

Folio cases are perhaps the most common choice for an
iPad, and Griffins Elan Folio is a stylish choice. Its available
in a variety of designs, from colourful notebook-esque
styles (the Cabana range) to those with a more demure,
business look. Built-in magnets wake the iPad when you
open it, and put it to sleep when you close it. Inside is a
soft lining to protect the screen, and theres an elastic loop
for a stylus. The cover can be flipped back to turn it into a
stand, either for watching videos in landscape mode, or
typing with the rear raised slightly from the desk.

Company: Maroo
URL: www.maroo.com
Price: 32
Attention-grabbing cases dont come much brighter
than those made by Maroo. While most offer garish graffiti patterns aimed squarely at the teenage boy market,
some like this Matau are surprisingly stylish and offer a
nice alternative to the
swathe of business
leather cases on the
market. The back is
made from scratchfree suede, and its a
convincing look. We
like the matching tab
on the rear which the
front slots into in order to turn the Rakou

Looking for the best set of wireless speakers to go with
your new iPad? Here you go: get a Sonos Play:3. With a
Play:3 and a Bridge device you can bounce audio from
your iPad, or Mac/PC straight to the speaker. If that wasnt
good enough, the Sonos Player app brings together the
audio from your Mac, iPhone, iPad; services like Spotify,

Last.fm. A truly superb speaker system.

Hover Bar
Company: TwelveSouth

crazy, yet so stunningly simple, that it becomes an
instant classic. The HoverBar from TwelveSouth is one
such device. Its a malleable metal arm with a clamp at
one end and an iPad mount at the other, but its how its
put to work that really counts. Attaching the clamp to
any surface or object allows you to hover your device at
any angle or height you require. Floating next to an iMac
is an obvious solution, but the HoverBar works equally
well from a bedside table, kitchen counter, car seat or
anything offering an inch of available area to grip.

The HP Photosmart 5510 is a printer you can use with
your iPad (or iPhone or any iOS device) thanks to Apples
AirPrint technology. This is built in to the iPad and means
all you have to do is connect the printer to the same

your Smart Cover with a specific-fit rear cover. The iPad slides

still the easiest way to stream iTunes content to your TV.

LA robe Moorea

Lightning to 30-pin Adaptor

Company: Be.ez
URL: www.be.ez
Price: 25
Named after the French Polynesian island of Moorea, this
sleeve is big enough for your new iPad with a Smart Cover
attached. Each side is padded with 5mm low-resilience
polyurethane (thats hard foam to you and I) and is lined
with a soft material. An inner lip protects the iPad on every
edge, including from the zip along the top.Its also available in green and pink, but there are other designs in the
10-inch LA robe range (Allure and Club) if the Moorea is too
flowery for you.

Company: Apple
URL: www.apple.com/uk
Price: 30
Lightning replaced the 30-pin connection that has been
used on most Apple devices since the introduction
of the original iPod. With such a legacy behind it the
change is something of a shock to many long-term Apple fans, who now find themselves having to deal with a
device that doesnt physically fit many of the accessories
we own.
Fortunately Apple has released this Lightning to 30pin Adaptor that enables you to attach older 30-pin dock
devices and cables to the newer iPhone 5.
Using the adaptor is easy enough. Plug it into the
iPhone and you have an older 30-pin connection as on
the iPhone 4S, and earlier devices.
It enables you to charge, and sync, most devices. The
only thing it doesnt do is support video output, for that
youll need the new Digital Adaptor.

Smart Cover

Digital AV Adapter

Company: Apple
URL: www.apple.com/uk
Price: 35
The Smart Cover clips on to the side of the new iPad using
two magnets and a clever clamp that makes it easy to
attach and remove, while simultaneously ensuring that
it doesnt slip off. Another set of magnets clamp it to the
screen of the new iPad, and opening and closing the
Smart Cover wakes up and puts the device to sleep. It also
folds into a triangle to form a stand for the iPad to make it
easier to type and the inside of the Smart Cover is a micro
fibre surface that helps keep the screen clean as you open
and close the cover. What it doesnt do particularly well
is protect the new iPad, which is a virtually solid piece of
glass that will happily shatter if you drop it onto a concrete
ground. So you should seriously consider a full case as well.

Company: Apple
Price: 39
This handy little adapter enables you to mirror anything
you see on your iPads screen on a HDTV. Its useful if you
want a quick and easy way to show off whats on your iPad
on a bigger screen without investing in an Apple TV. While
its not as versatile as an
Apple TV its also a third
of the price, and can be
carried around with you.
The Digital AV Adaptor is
a great way to play video,
stream audio, and show
off photos. Its also useful
for doing presentations,
which are increasingly
shown using HDTVs or
projectors with a HDMI
input. A second Dock
connector input enables
you to keep your iPad on
charge while streaming
the video out to the HDTV,
which is great when playing long movies (which
can be played up to 720p
resolution on the iPad.

Smart Feather
Company: Incipio
URL: www.incipio.com
Price: 25
Apple chose not to make a companion rear
cover to go with the Smart Cover, so plenty
of companies have stepped up to the plate to
fill the void. Incipio has modified its original
Smart Feather to fit the iPad 3 and iPad 4. It
comes in the same colours as Apples
Polyurethane Smart Covers, so looks like an
original Apple cover. Theres also a screen protector in the box. Look for part code IPAD-255,
this is the new version, as its easy to confuse
with the iPad 2 version IPAD-235.

Feature: The 30 best apps

The

30 best apps
Our picks from the App Store gems Fred Dutton

he headline feature of the iPad 4 is of course that fast new A6X CPU
and Retina screen. And what a thing of beauty it is. Crisp, vibrant
and sharper than a vintage Monty Python sketch, it truly needs
to be seen to be believed. Tech this good deserves to be taken
advantage of. Theyll still look good on the new device, but they could look
great. So, to help you fully put your new tablet through its paces, weve
compiled a list of the best Retina-ready apps currently on the App Store.

Sky Gamblers

iPhoto

Infinity Blade 2

Price: 2.99
The App store blurb for arcade
veteran Namcos brilliant aerial dogfight sim promises, 4x anisotropic
filtering, High Dynamic Range (HDR)
rendering, radial blur and refractive
raindrops. Not sure what all that
means? Neither are we, but were
assuming its longhand for looks
ruddy amazing. Not only is it a fun,
addictive shoot em up, but Sky
Gamblers squeezes every last drop
of horsepower out of the new iPad.
A phenomenal showcase for what
Apples machine can really do.

Price: 2.99
The new iOS version of Apples
brilliantly accessible photo-editing
suite is a great tool for showing off
the new iPad screen. Not only does
it offer unparalleled clarity when
displaying your high definition
photos, but it also makes it that
much easier to accurately edit your
images. Unwanted blemishes are
easier to spot, subtle tweaks are
easier to appreciate and crops are
easier to judge. Honestly, youll want
to glue a picture hook to the back of
your tablet and hang it on the wall.

Price: 4.99
The game that Apple originally used
to showcase what the iPad 2 could
do now offers a similarly impressive benchmark for its successor.
Developer Chair Entertainment has
updated its acclaimed action game
to fully support the new screen and
it looks better than ever. Put this
up against a top-end PlayStation 3
game and you wouldnt be able to
spot the difference. Whats more,
the touch screen swordplay action is
still great fun, offering some of the
deepest gaming on the system.

34 The Complete Guide to the iPad 4

Sketchbook Pro

iMovie

Pages

Price: 2.99
Not only has developer Autodesk
updated its popular digital sketchbook app so that it supports the
new iPads Retina screen, but it has
also leveraged the devices new
processing power to add additional
functionality. Artists can now make
use of more layers on their images
18 (up from 12) for the 1024 x 768
canvas, and six (up from four) for
the 2048 x 1536 canvas. In short,
one of the best art packages
available on the system just got
better, and at no extra charge.

Price: 2.99
It should come as no surprise that
one of Apples own flagship apps
was among the first programmes to
receive an update adding support
for the manufacturers new
generation of tablet tech. Full HD
footage captured with the iPads
impressive new camera looks ace at
1080p. Whats more, Apple has even
added extra features: new cross-app
content sharing with GarageBand, a
few new editing tools and the ability
to cut together a Hollywood-style
trailer for your movie.

Price: 6.99
Apples popular word processing app was another obvious
candidate for a Retina update and
the platform holder has failed to
disappoint. As well as full support
for the new screen, the latest update
has brought with it a couple of
additional features. You can now
include a variety of charts in your
documents, and theres improved
Cloud support too. And on top of
that, the new built-in dictation tool
in the iPads virtual keyboard really
comes into its own here!

Feature: The 30 best apps

Mass Eect Infiltrator

Solar Walk

Numbers

Price: 4.99
The iOS companion piece to megaselling PC and console space RPG
Mass Effect is one the first new
apps to come with Retina support
as standard. The game itself is a
stripped-down, arcadey take on
its more nuanced and complex
source material, but is a fun 3D
shooter nonetheless, and a brilliant
showcase for the systems power. In
a similar vein, the Dead Space app,
from the same publisher and
developer also has Retina support.

Price: 1.99
The fascinating interactive galactic
map app was always going to
benefit from the new iPads extra
power and developer Vito
Technology doesnt let us down.
The app now includes new high
resolution textures, slick visual
effects and a handsome new user
interface that makes exploring our
galaxy even more of a sensory assault. New space objects have been
added too including the asteroid
belt and the moons of Neptune.

Price: 6.99
Apple hasnt wasted any time updating its Numbers spreadsheeting
app to take advantage of its newly
empowered tablet. As well as
support for that razor sharp Retina
screen, its shoehorned a number
of performance improvements as
well as the ability to display your
data in an impressive array of 3D
charts. It remains the best app of its
kind on the App Store and a hugely
useful oce tool no matter the
scope of number crunching.

Real Racing 2

Labyrinth 2 HD

Photoshop Express

Price: 2.99
Firemints best-selling racing sim
has made impressive use of Apples
latest hardware update. Naturally,
the already eye-popping visuals
have received an additional boost
with full support for the Retina
display. But the developer has
gone above and beyond by adding
a nice new feature that lets third
generation iPad owners capture
and edit screen grabs of the racing
action which you can save in a
gallery or share with friends. Its
a fun extra that really helps
showcase the new iPads power.

Price: 5.49
Labyrinth 2s core concept is as old
as the hills you tilt the playing
surface to guide a marble through
a maze dotted with obstacles and
pitfalls. However, developer Illusion
Labs has breathed new life into it
on the iPad by upping the
challenge and broadening the
scope. Its added multiplayer, }
incorporated a vast array of off-thewall new elements and included a
full-featured level editor allowing
you to create your own stages.
Whats more, it also looks fantastic,
thanks to a new Retina update.

Price: Free
Adobes alternative to iPhoto isnt
quite as slick and accessible as
Apples editing suite, but is a solid
package nonetheless, offering a
range of tools, filters and special
effects with which to touch-up
your snaps. Be warned, some of the
features on offer are only available
via an additional in-app purchase,
so go in with your eyes open. As is
the case with Apples iPhoto, the
newly Retina-friendly app is both a
great way of showing off the new
iPads amazingly detailed screen
and all your images.

Photoshop
Express is a great
way of showing

Keynote

iStopMotion

Order and Chaos

Price: 6.99
Another part of Apples oce suite,
Keynote lets you easily create
presentations and slideshows from
your iPad. Like all Apple software,
its extremely user-friendly and has
a range of clever tricks to help set
your work apart. You can add
your own animations, incorporate
media youve created in iMovie
or GarageBand, build dynamic
charts and graphs, all with a few
quick swipes of the display.

Price: 6.99
Does what it says on the tin.
iStopMotion is a rather brilliant
little package that lets you create
your own stop-motion animation
on your iPad. Once youve set up
your scene, you can trigger a time
lapse photo sequence which takes
an image every few seconds, giving
you time to move objects around
and create a complete movie. Its
well put together, easy to use and,
with added Retina support.

Price: 4.99
Lets not beat around the bush
Order and Chaos is a fairly
shameless iOS riff on the hugely
popular fantasy MMO World of
Warcraft. Though it wins few
points for originality, Gamelofts
effort scores with its moreish
gameplay, classy feature set and
accomplished visuals. Take note
its a subscription title, so you have
to pay a monthly fee on top of the
purchase price to keep playing.

Star Walk

Flight Control Rocket

Price: 1.99
From the same developer behind
the excellent Solar Walk app, Star
Walk is an essential iOS purchase
for amateur astronomers. The app
offers an astonishingly detailed
map of the night sky complete with
profile pages for all of the main
heavenly bodies. Whats more,
thanks to GPS, it also works in
real time. Just hold your device up
to the night sky and the app
will overlay information about the
stars visible in your display.

Price: 69p
Flight Control remains one of the
true App Store classics fun, easy
to pick up and impossible to put
down. A few years on from their
original effort, developer Firemint
has unleashed a sequel of sorts,
and its every bit as addictive. The
principle remains the same you
need to guide your vessels onto
a series of landing pads while
avoiding other air trac. This time,
the action has shifted to outer
space, bringing with it a range of
new gameplay possibilities. As one
of the first games released in the
wake of the new iPad, it fully
supports the new Retina display.

Star Walk is an
essential purchase

Incredibooth
Price: 69p
Just the thing for a wild night on
the town, Incredibooth lets you
snap strips of photobooth-style
images with friends, offering
you a range of wacky filters and
backdrops to up the fun factor.
The results are often hilarious. Its
a straightforward point-and-shoot
app, but its also very thoughtfully
put together with a wide range
of editing and sharing options.

Garageband

Barefoot World Atlas

iBooks

Price: 2.99
Ever fancied yourself as the next
Phil Spector or Brian Eno? Well,
GarageBand is the app for you.
Either plug in one of your own
instruments or use the virtual
keyboards, drumkits and guitars
included, and record your own
mini-masterpiece. Its as complex
and sophisticated as you want it to
be. Newcomers can record a brief
jingle, while experts can work on
an epic multi-track symphony.
No musical ability is required.

Price: 5.49
This fantastic new kids app is an
iPad-only interactive atlas that
colourfully immerses youngsters
in the myriad wonders of planet
Earth. Its a great way of engaging
children in geography, detailing
different wildlife, the worlds great
cities, geological features and
weather systems. Theres spoken
narration as well as written text,
vibrant photography, lovely
illustrations and a massive library
of sound effects and music.

Price: Free
One of the iPads few weaknesses is
that, as an e-reader, it cant hope to
match up to a Kindles E Ink display.
The tablets more traditional screen
is harder to read for longer periods
than the competitions virtual
paper. However, with the advent
of the Retina display and a
corresponding iBooks update,
thats much less of an issue. The
added clarity makes it much easier
on the eye with a number of new
functionality enhancements too.

Need for Speed:


Most Wanted

Another Monster at
the End of This Book

Touchgrind BMX

Price: 2.99
The iPads a great device for racing
games, and weve got a few in this
feature. While Real Racing 2 has
the realism, and Asphalt has all
the action, its this game, Need For
Speed: Most Wanted that has the
graphics. One of the most visually
arresting games you can buy, and
its fun too: tearing along streets
and avoiding the cops!

Price: 2.49
This Sesame Street interactive story
book is one of the most charming
kids apps currently available on
the App Store. And theres a fair
few young-at-heart adults wholl
get some chuckles out of it too. Its
not terribly complicated its just
a well-told story dotted with a few
lively mini-games and animations
designed to build youngsters
vocabulary and spatial-relations
skills. And a new Retina update
really helps bring things to life,
with vibrant colours and smooth
transitions. Highly recommended.

display update has it looking
even better than ever to boot.

Modern Combat 3
Price: 4.99
The closest thing youll get to a
full Call of Duty game on the App
Store. The first person shooter
genre isnt naturally a great fit for
touch screen controls, but Modern
Combat 3 does its best within
the limitations, offering up a fun,
slick and perfectly playable action
game. It wins no points for
originality this is an app that
knows exactly who its audience is
but as shooting galleries go, this is
a solid, Retina-enabled choice with
great multiplayer functionality.

Ever since iOS 5.1 your new iPad no longer needs to be physically connected
to a computer rst in order for it to work. As you might expect from Apple, the
process is simple and quick; about the most technically dicult part is inserting
the nano SIM card into the iPad 4. However, in typical Apple style theres a SIM
tray pin included in the box to make this task even easier.
Well assume that you have all the boring stu like tablet price plan sorted out
and have un-boxed and inserted the SIM card into your new iPad. From here on
in its no more than a ve-minute process. Wire-free setup is a breeze and all you

SyNCiNg AN ipAd ANd ituNeS uSed tO MeAN tHAt
you had to plug your tablet into your Mac or PC and either
sit and watch the progress bar or leave it and pop back
whenever you thought it might be ready. Happily, there is
now a better solution to syncing your iPad 4.
Now you can keep your iPad 4 and iTunes account on
your PC or Mac completely in tune wirelessly. No more
hunting around for that white cable. Never again will you have to scrabble
around under your desk to try to plug the USB cable into your PC.
Wireless syncing works when both your iPad 4 and computer are connected to
the same wireless network and when your tablet is connected to a power source.
Youll have to keep your computer on and running iTunes, too. This means that
you can leave your iPad 4 charging overnight and wake up to a fully synced
tablet and iTunes. The more content youve purchased the longer it will take, but
wireless sync covers everything: applications, music, bookmarks, books, contacts
calendars, movies, photos, notes, documents and ringtones are all synced
wirelessly over your network.
When your iPad 4 is connected to a power source and on the Wi-Fi network,
it shows up just as it would, were it plugged into your computer through a USB
cable. This means you can change settings and other options wirelessly, too.
Somewhat ironically, you have to plug your iPad 4 into your computer to
enable wireless syncing, but after that, its all wire free.

everything just happens automatically. Buy an app on your iPad 4, for example,
and its automatically sent to your iPhone. Similarly, if you download a new album
on your iPhone, its ready and waiting for you on your iPad 4. It works seamlessly
and invisibly in the background.
Its not just for music and apps though, as iCloud ensures that your email,
contacts and calendars are all kept up to date, too. It doesnt matter which of
your devices the change is made on, every single one will simply update itself to
match when the change is made.
You get 5GB of free storage, but as apps, books, music and TV shows dont
count towards this space, its a generous allowance. If you need more space
you can buy it. You can also back up your iPad 4 to iCloud for an added level of
protection. No matter what happens, your data will be safe. iCloud also includes
Photo Stream that immediately pushes any pictures you take on your iPad 4 to
your Mac. Theres a lot more to iCloud and its sure to be greatly expanded in the
future. Well show you how to set it up here.

use your iPad 4s GPS capabilities to never lose track of where it is

a disaster, but thankfully, Apple has already thought of
this. Find My iPhone is a tool that as the name suggests
will help you locate your iPhone, but it also enables you to
nd Mac and iPad devices.
The app isnt just for those terrible worst-case scenarios
where you actually do lose your iPad 4, but for the more
mundane times when youve discovered that youve left your iPad 4 at home or
at work, too. The relief of nding out that your missing tablet is, in fact, still in
your house somewhere is great. There have even been reports of people using
technology to nd iPad 4s that were actually stolen and having the police recover
them.
You have to remember to keep the Find My iPad service on at all times, but
this will use some battery power. However, slightly less battery life is probably
better than a completely lost tablet. Once youve turned the GPS tracking on
youll need the Find My iPad app, to use on another iOS device, or you can track
your device down online. Best of all, you can send a message to your iPad 4, so if
someone has found it, you can let whoever does know that its yours.
In addition, you can completely wipe your tablet should it go astray. This
means that if you do lose your iPad 4, no one can steal your data and all your
contact details are kept completely safe. If nothing else, Find My iPad oers

text messages? Well, now you dont. iMessage is built in to
iOS and lets you send free messages to anyone else with
an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. You can send pictures and
video, as well as just plain text messages, as long as the
recipients are running an Apple device.
The best part is theres no setup involved. Your iPad will
automatically detect if that person has a device with iOS and send the message
to them using a system Apple calls iMessage, which you access using the
Messages app. Theres often some confusion betwen the two: Messages is the
App you use, iMessage is the name of the service that sends free messages to
other iOS devices. So The Messages app can send iMessages (and also SMS text
messages on the iPhone, but not on the iPad).
You can send group messages, so if you need to let everyone in the family
know whats going on, just add them to the conversation and type away. You
can see when the other person is typing a reply and there are delivery and read
receipts so that you know when your message got through.
All the messages are encrypted with the latest security software so theres
no chance your conversations can be read by anyone else. Also, thanks to the
new voice recognition system, you can dictate messages direct to your iPad. This
makes sending those short messages even faster, and its surprisingly accurate,
too. Dont worry though, you can still use the keyboard if talking to your phone
makes you feel a little bit self-conscious.

popped up and interrupted whatever you were doing were
really distracting. Halfway through reading a web page
it would suddenly pause and youd get a message that
someone had just checked in on Foursquare, or that youd
been mentioned on Twitter.
Not to mention that if you had a lot of apps with notications, it could take
ages to wade through and dismiss them all. It made using your new iPad a bit of
a pain, if were honest. With Notication Center in iOS all this has changed and
now your new iPad experience is much more streamlined.
The Notication Centre lets you see far more detail about exactly whats going
on, and you can get to it from anywhere at any time. You can happily continue to
do what you were doing, be that watching a movie, playing a game or editing a
document, and your other apps wont get in the way.
You still get to see what notications are coming in, but its on your terms. The
Notication Center doesnt have to be restricted to standard messages though. It
will display the weather forecast and if youre interested stock prices, too. All
the notications are kept hidden away until you really need them. Dont worry,
you can still get all those old-style notications back if you wish. Youll nd out

Now, however, the rather aptly named Reminders app
is here to help you with all your to-do lists. The app itself is

Integrations with Voice Dictation is just one of the great features of
Reminders. Additionally, you can use the GPS to activate reminders when you
leave or arrive at certain places. So, your phone will remind you to pick up some
milk on the way home as you leave work.
Naturally, you can set your own time-sensitive reminder too, and if you have
a lot of reminders you can easily search through them. They can be sorted in a
list or by date and you can see a calendar view of all your reminders a month at
a time. If youre using the iCloud service all your reminders can be synced across
devices. If you set a reminder on your iPad it will show on your iPhone and vice
versa. Thanks to the Notication Center your reminders will show up, even on a

your words and watch as your iPad transcribes
them into any app youre currently using.
This can be a great timesaver, especially if youre still
getting used to typing on a glass keyboard. Its true that
some people can reach truly amazing typing speeds, but
those blisteringly fast wordsmiths denitely reside on
the tail end of the bell curve.
For most of us, typing on an iPad is slightly slower than using an actual
keyboard, so the dictation tool could prove highly useful. And, it has to be said,
theres just something plain cool about being able to dictate messages and
notes directly on the iPad.
Be aware though that your iPad needs to be connected to the internet in
order to work: all the grunt work of transcribing your voice is done by Apples
giant server farms, but its a small price to pay for not even having to train your
device to recognise your voice. If youre used to dictation tools on traditional
computers, youll love just being able to dive right in without hours of teaching
your machine that you meant six, not sucks.
Well show you the ins and outs of dictating some text onto your iPad 4, and
where you can enable and disable that feature at will.

Get to grips with the music app on your iPad 4
THE MUSIC APP ON THE iPAd REPLACES THE iPOd
app that was on some older iPads and iPhones. As you
might expect the Music app is where youll nd all your
audio les. In it, youll nd all your iTunes songs, albums,
playlists and more. Its not just all your music either,
because its here that youll also nd your podcasts and
audiobooks.
Although the name of the app has changed, the functionality hasnt altered
all that much. If youve used the iPod app on a previous iOS device, youll
probably not notice the changes theyre that subtle in implementation.
One thing that has stayed the same is the exibility of the app, though it
remains easy to use. Getting to your favourite music is easy with options to
create your own playlists on the iPad or have the Music app create some for you
with Genius Playlists. With album artwork you can use the coverow view to
swipe through your albums by cover.
As well as helping you manage all the music you own, theres also a quick
link to the iTunes Store to let you get your hands on even more. And if you
have iTunes Match you can stream and download all the tracks from all of your
iTunes collections. So, whether you want to hear the same song over and over
again, or shue your songs to add a bit of variety, or just have Genius go to
work and create some creative playlists for those long journeys to and from
work or in the gym, this tutorial will help you get to grips with the app.

ONe OF THe bIGGeST TeCH TReNDS OF THe LAST
year or so is the shift to cloud computing, where you save
data, and then access it, from a remote server rather than
on your own machine.
Naturally, Apple has put this to excellent use in iTunes,
allowing users to store their entire music library in the
cloud and access it from any device without using up
memory. Apples service, called iTunes Match, scans your music library and
either matches the track with a high quality version from the iTunes Store or,
if it doesnt have the track in its database, uploads your version to cloud. Once
complete, you can stream your tracks from any device (providing you have an
active internet connection) without having to download them to that device.
If you do want a hard copy of a song on one of your machines, Match also lets
you download it from the cloud free of charge. The best part? You can store up
to 25,000 tracks, transforming your humble iPad into a serious music archive.
Whats more, you can access your songs from up to 10 dierent iTunes-enabled
devices.
Unsurprisingly, the service doesnt come for free it will set you back 21.99 a
year. However, as our tutorial will demonstrate its easy to set up, easy to use and
very versatile.

changed this for many and the lure of instant information
has been hard to resist.
How can you cope with the deluge of data available
in a web browser? Its possible to spend all day reading
garbage online and not learn a thing. Many people long to read in-depth articles,
books (like this one), and classic magazines like Macworld all in a new digital

Newsstand is designed to try and help bridge the gap between the print and
online publishing worlds by combining the richness of published material with a
highly convenient way of accessing that information wherever you happen to be,
all from the comfort of your iPad (the best part is that you can also get the same
content for your iPhone and iPod touch via the same app).
You can choose to buy individual issues or subscribe for a set period of
time. When you select the latter, new issues will appear automatically in your
Newsstand without you even having to get up and pick up the mail.
Newsstand isnt an exclusive feature of the iPad 4. In fact, it can be used
on any iOS device, even the earlier iPads, but the sheer quality of the iPad 4s

THe IPAd 4 HAS AN AMAZING SeT OF CAMeRAS. Much
better than those found on the iPad 2, which appeared to
be the same type as the one found on the iPod touch.
However, such poor images wouldnt have done the
iPad 4s amazing screen justice, so Apple beefed up the
camera and brought it on par to the iPhone 4, capable
of taking 5MP shots with the iSight camera, and 1.2MP
shots with the front-facing FaceTime camera. It can also record video in highdenition (1080p) just like the iPhone 4S.
In addition to this vastly superior camera, Apple has updated the Camera app,
making it much easier to take photos with this rather bulky device compared
with a regular camera or even an iPhone. So even though that camera is of a
lesser quality, you wont struggle to take pictures with your iPad.
The Camera app enables you to snap photographs, and shoot video using
both the rear-facing (iSight) and front-facing (FaceTime) cameras. The Camera
app keeps things simple, but there are a few options available to you.

you might just want to leave them there. However, no
matter how good a camera you possess, some judicious
editing can always help to improve the nal result.
You might want to make the colours and contrast

friends and they all have the dreaded red-eye, youll want to get rid of that.
Luckily, thanks to the power of the dual-core A6X chip inside the iPad 4,
your tablet is a powerful image-editing tool. The Retina display also helps you
to be more accurate, thanks to the fantastic detail it provides.
The iPad 4 itself lets you make your pictures look better with a single tap. It
can also help you with some of the usual pitfalls of photography. If you take a
shot of people with the ash, then sometimes theyll have red-eye. To help you
make your subjects look a little less like theyve been possessed by the devil you

you to cut out the best bit of a photo and reframe your shot for a better result.

WHiLe THe iPAd 4S CRySTAL CLeAR ReTiNA display
might have hogged all the headlines, one of Apples other
key enhancements deserves its fair share of the limelight
too. The new iSight camera is a quiet revolution for the
tablet, oering a 5-megapixel lens and the ability to shoot
sharp 1080p video footage with clever auto stabilisation
to smooth bumps and shakes.
Thats a really signicant improvement over the iPad 2, which boasted a
humble 0.7 megapixel lens capable of shooting only in 720p. Youll really notice
the dierence, especially on that lovely new Retina display.
The camera is an important part of the iPads impressive feature set, making
it a true jack-of-all-trades multimedia device. Spot something lm-worthy
going on? Pick up your iPad, bring up the camera app and hit record. Once your
done, head over to iMovie and edit your footage into a proper movie, perhaps
adding some music youve composed in GarageBand. Quickly upload it directly
to YouTube in-app, and within 30 minutes of lming a video clip you could be an
internet sensation.
Its all extremely easy to use. There are no calibrations to make, dials to
twiddle or menus to navigate just point at your subject and start shooting.
Theres even an idiot-proof auto-focus feature to ensure your lm always looks
professional. And Apple makes it easy to trim your video, or you can edit it using
a professional app like iMovie. With a bit of practice youll be turning around

Tutorial: Set up Twitter

Integrating Twitter
into your iPad 4
Using Twitter on the iPad 4 is even easier with Twitter integration
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DONT KNOW, TWITTER IS
a social-networking and micro-blogging site whose
popularity has skyrocketed in the past few years.
Celebrities get closer to their fans and people from all
over the globe converse in 140 character bursts about
everything from politics to Saturday night TV.
Its one of the few external services that has seen
deeper iOS integration. You can enter your Twitter username and password
to send locations data and pictures to the social networking site. You dont
even need to download a Twitter client from the App Store get tweeting your
pictures and locations.
Setting up Twitter integration is very simple. You can use an account you
already have or create a brand new one. In addition, you can also use multiple
accounts. So, if you have personal and business accounts you can tweet to
both and keep your personal and private accounts separate. The Twitter
integration isnt fully complete as you cant use Siri to send a tweet just yet. If
you have a Twitter app on your iPad you can dictate your message into the text
entry eld, but you cant ask Siri to send your tweet directly.
The advantage of having Twitter built right into the system is that other apps
will be able to integrate your account much more easily. Youll be able to tweet
more info from more apps with ease.

Tutorial: Managing storage

Keep tabs on how much


storage apps are using
Use iOSs tools to see which apps are using up space
THe STORAGe CAPACITY ON YOUR IPAD 4 IS
small by the standards of most computers. Filling it up
takes no time at all, especially with all the video and
music you can so easily download from the iTunes Store.
And as apps get increasingly complex, they balloon in
size. Its entirely possible to ll up even a 64GB iPad just
with apps. Its twice as easy to ll up a 32GB model too.
This would leave you no space for music, videos or any of the other fun stu.
Thankfully, iOS lets you see exactly which apps are taking up the most
space. This is great if you are running low on storage and need to dump some
apps you dont need or use. Remember that you can always re-download any
of your apps. Deleting apps to make temporary space is perfectly plausible
now and easily done. The ability to back up your iPad to iCloud is great for your
phone security and this storage can also be managed right on your tablet. See
how much of your allowance you are using and buy more space if you need it,
