Buying the new iPad

I've never had an iPad before and just wanted to know if the new iPad is worth buying? Is it better than the iPad 2?

What are all the differences between the iPad 3rd Gen and the iPad 2? Is the iPad 2 worth the cost savings?

I purchased an ipad from a dealer on ebay with a 9 month warranty still on it. I set it up and decided to return it and buy the new Ipad instead. How can I be sure I didn't activate the warranty, or deactivate if it has been activated?

Sorry, I can't tell what it is you're trying to ask. What does the warranty have to do with your intention to return the iPad (to whomever) and get another one?
There's no way to deactivate a warranty.
The warranty transfers with the machine, has nothing to do with the owner.
Look around in the Support pages, you can figure out a way to type in your serial number and see what your current warranty status is.

I have an iPad 1 and would like to buy the new iPad. Will Apple exchange my old iPad for the new one . I live in Saudi Arabia.

Apple does not take trade-ins. You'll have to look for a dealer that does, though you'll probably get more for the iPad 1 if you sell it yourself.

Im looking to buy the new ipad but Iv a question. I can only afford either the 16gb with cellular or the 32gb without cellular...if one HAD to pick between the two what would u pick

I'm looking to buy the new ipad but I've a question. I can only afford either the 16gb with cellular or the 32gb without cellular. If one HAD to pick between bigger storage space or the added cellular which would u pick? Please help!

Like I said, I only have WiFi iPads, and don't know much at all about the data plans, but I don't think that you have to commit to a long term contract and I believe that there are plans that you can cancel at any time. My point is that if you sign up for a plan, and you use it say 4 months out of the year, you could be spending that money that you saved on the original cost of the iPad and even more in the future.
Actually, you can look at the AT&T plans here.

I am planning to buy the New Ipad from Apple online store. Can I purchase the unlocked version because the online store gives me the option of US carriers ONLY?

iPads are not locked to the carriers.

Actually it depends on the Bandwidth of the network they will be using. You can see a list of tech specs on the iPad website.

You can't make calls with iPad; you still need your cell phone.
It's a pain to use 3rd party software to make calls with iPad.

Want to buy The New iPad

Hello everybody. I need some help,please.
I`d want to buy the New iPad after i sold my iPad 2.
But Apple cant ship it oversea(i live in Russia).
Is there some shops,that will sell new iPads and that will ship it to Russia?

Not any authorized resellers. There are people who buy them from stores and resell abroad, but for very high mark-ups in price. Your best bets are either to contact a friend in a country with the iPad and ask him/her to buy one for you, or to wait for release in Russia.

Should I buy the new ipad or ipad 2?

The new ipad have just released and i still hesitate to buy the new ipad or ipad 2. I heard a lot of rumours saying that the new ipad is overheating. Can you guys give me a few comments????

All I can tell you is that my new iPad doesn't overheat, nor do the others that have been purchased in my company. In general it's been agreed by most objective observers that the problem was overblown, though undoubtely there are some units that overheat.
As to which you should get, that's up to you. I'm quite happy with the higher resolution of the new screen, but the iPad 2's screen was more than adequate. If you have an Apple Store or dealer who carries the iPad, I'd suggest you pay a visit and compare the screens for yourself. The back camera on the new iPad is certainly better, but I have had little need to use the cameras in either, so that's something you'll also have to decide for yourself.

If you have a USB printer connected to your computer, Mac or PC, you can activate or install AirPrint and print from your iPad over wifi without any special apps.

Where is the best place to buy the new ipad? Please help

I am ready to buy a new ipad. There is no apple store in my town but I will be close to one in a couple of days. My town has Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. Assuming I can find what I want... in case I have issues with it, where is the best place to purchase from?? (as far as ease of return, etc). Please advise.

Dah*veed ..... I do not disagree with what you said about the AppleCare+ protection plan as it does state on the website that proof of purchase is required - IF ... You purchase over the phone. Actually, I did not expect to be able to do this over the phone, but as I said I received the paperwork today via email.
I copied this from the website and I'm typing this on my new iPad so it may come out a little distorted but you can read the sentence at the bottom that says it can be done over the phone with proof of purchase. I gave the rep my serial number, confirmed my address and CC details and the deal was done. I even called back later in the day to make absolutely certain that I did in fact purchase the AppleCare+ plan that has the two incidents of accidental damage included for a $49.00 charge. The rep did in fact confirm that I did buy the correct plan that I wanted and I am looking at the printed paperwork confirming the whole thing.
Maybe I just got lucky!
iPad - AppleCare+
Every iPad comes with one year of hardware repair coverage and 90 days of telephone technical support. AppleCare+ for iPad gives you two years of repair coverage and technical support from the original purchase date of your iPad. And it adds coverage for up to two incidents of accidental damage due to handling of your iPad, each subject to a $49 service fee.1
How to get AppleCare+
You must buy AppleCare+ within 30 days of your iPad purchase.
There are three ways to buy:
From the Apple Online Store: When you order the new iPad or iPad 2, you’ll have the option to add AppleCare+ to your cart before you check out.
At an Apple Retail Store (requires a Genius Bar appointment, inspection of the iPad, and proof of purchase).
By calling 1-800-275-2273 (requires proof of purchase).

I am willing to buy the new ipad (wifi 4g), since i live outside of US and we dont have a LTE connection and CDMA based 3G carriers.. which version of iPad should i settle for?

and isnt ipad supposedly locked to at&t and verizon????

They aren't locked in this edition for worldwide use. However I don't believe you can use an AT&T on Verizon and vice versa. If you have CDMA service you will need the Verizon iPad.

Buying the new ipad from Israel

What would be the best channel to order the device?
Should I be buying from US or from EU ?
I'm confused by the fact that the US models are assosiated with a specific carriar, while the EU models don't seem to be carrying this assosisation.
Also - Does the purchase location in any way affects the warrenty?

Guys,
I understand bouhady problem completly and infact have the same one myself.
For the holidays a coworker of mine is travaling to US, he will be staying with his relatives near this Apple store http://www.apple.com/retail/theoaks/
I would like to purchase the new iPad and have my friend pick it up, sadly I don't know the correct process to "authorize" my friend to pick the device for me.
Also I don't know how I need to pay for the device, can I pay with my credit card or do I need to give him the money?
Would it be better to have Applie deliver the order to his relatives home perhpas?
Help from someone who has purchase like this pefore would be very appreciated.
Also as bouhady mentioned, our local applie representitive (sadly not applie itself) is not yet selling the new iPad http://www.idigital.co.il/ so we can't buy it here. Also, I would preffer buying from Apple officially as some people have said: "This one is for Steve".
So guys, that is the status.
