What makes the New ipad 3 heavier than ipad 2?

Hi I had the ipad 1 , and ipad 2, loved the weight so light!!!!
what makes the ipad 3 (I now have it) heavier than the ipad 2?
Thank you...

Bigger battery to compensate the extra energy used by the Retina display. It should be heavier.
Thicker because the pixels of the Retina display need to be elevated so that signals don't cross each other to eliminate fuzzy images.
Hope it helps.

  • Mystery: what are the new circles on my ipad air screen?

    Since I updated to IOS 8 on my Ipad Air this morning , I now have two little circles at the top of my Ipad screen ... one has my name ... and the other has a name I dont recognize. Why are they there all of a sudden, and how can I make them go away?
    Many thanks.

    When do you see them ? If when you have the taskbar open then you can turn them off via Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Show In App Switcher (under the 'Contacts' heading) > Recents 'off'

  • I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and I am traveling in Greece. When I want to make use of the free apps, I get a message that the app is not available in the SA store. What is the point of having an iPad if you cannot use it worldwide?

    I am extremely upset. I purchased my iPad in SA and now I am in Greece. I cannot download free apps as I get a message that the apps are not available in the SA store and only in US stores. When I change to the US store the same thing happens. What is the point of having an iPad if I cannot use it worldwide??? I feel that I wasted my money purchasing it as I specifically purchased it to use when I travel. How can I get access to all the available apps and why are they restricted.

    You can use your iPad worldwide. However, each AppleID is tied to
    a specific country's store. To use the AppStore in any country, you
    must be in that country and have a credit/debit card issued by a financial
    institution in that country with a verified billing address in that country.
    It is the developer's choice which AppStores he makes his app available
    from, and some countries prohibit certain apps.
    To make a purchase from the US store (including downloading a free app
    available in the US store), you must be in the US and have card issued
    in the US with verified billing address in the US.
    You can use your purchases from the SA store worldwide, but you
    cannot make purchases in other than the SA store unless you meet
    the aforesaid conditions.

  • I downloaded the new os7 on my Ipad mini. Now in order to use the ipad I need to use a passcode. I cannot get pass the login screen and I never set up my ipad to use a passcode. What can I do?

    I downloaded the new os7 on my ipad mini. Now in order to use the Ipad, I need to enter a passcode. I cannot get pass this screen. I did
    not set it up to use a passcode. What can I do? I am not too computer savy.

    I have the same problem. I upgraded to iOS7, entered my usual passcode when prompted in setup, and when I tried to access my iPad after installation was finished it denied my passcode. I can't connect to any internet to erase it or anything because the new iOS hasn't yet been configured to a wifi network, so I can't backup from anything either.
    When I connect the iPad to iTunes, it tells me that Find My iPad must be disabled on my iPad before backup or restore can continue - and I can't access anything beyond the lock screen of my iPad at all because it refuses to accept my passcode, so I can't get to Find My iPad.

  • HT4623 I couldn't download the new software to my ipad or iphone because not enough storage so I paid the $20 for additional storage.  The purchase went thru and both phone and ipad are showing 15 GB of storage but I am still getting the message

    I couldn't download the new software onto my iPad or iphone because I didn't have enough storage.  I paid the $20 for additional storage.  Both devices are showing 15 GB of storage but both are still saying that I don't have enough storage available for the new download (3.3 GB req'd)  What else can I do?

    Delete some apps or stuff off your devices. The 'not enough storage' doesn't refer to iCloud space but space on your device.
    If you have a bunch of downloaded music from iTunes, delete it to make room, you can always redownload it after the update. If you have movies, I'd go for them first since video takes up tons more room than audio (delete less movies is the same space as lots of music)
    If you have apps you don't use, you can delete those, as long as you don't mind losing any data associated with them.

  • HT204266 What is the best flash player for iPad?

    What is the best flash player for iPad?

    Whatever works the best for you. Flash, as a program, is so inconsistently coded that there is no singular best player. Some work with one site better than others.
    Try looking for ones that have a free trial so you can see how it works for you.

    I am trying to link coc between a new ipod and my iPad. The iPad was the old device. I did as I was supposed to by logging in the Game Center, then opening coc, and went thru the tutorial. The Game Center keeps trying to load the new village on my iPad and not the other way around. It basically is trying to make my old village the new village, meaning I lose a lot of progress. How do make it combine the 2? If I cannot, is there a way to remove the new village off the Game Center and add the one I want to be saved? Thank you.

    You'll have to contact the app developer for help with this.

    my ipad 3 got truble while updating. there is showing conect to itune while i try to switch on. please let me knwo what is the solution to recover my ipad to previuos stage?

    That image on the iPad screen is telling you what to do. Connect the iPad to your computer and use iTunes to restore the iOS software. You said it yourself, something went wrong. So now you have to restore the device.
    The instructions for restoring the iOS are in this kb article - the article from which you posted your question.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Make sure that you read all the way to the end under "Additional Information" where it talks about using recovery mode. You just might need to use that in order to restore.

  • What is the best web browser for iPad 2

    What is the best web browser for iPad 2?

    I have Mercury, Atomic, Dolphin and iCab. They all offer features that Safari does not have. If you liked the former mini windows view that Safari had in iOS 4, I think iCab would be a great choice. It offers something similar to that as well as tabbed browsing, DropBox support, it can identify as other browsers (I can't remember what that feature is called) and IMO - it blows Safari out of the water.
    All of these browsers have more to offer than Safari, but I like iCab the best.

        I ended up in this thread in search of a functional Exchange ready mail client capable of supporting multiple mail profiles. Since there are no free applications to accomplish this in the app stor, which I can find, I figured I'd leverage the 'community' for some direction before throwing good money after bad.
       As I assume Im not the only one to do this, I figured I'd help straighten these folks out on the lingo (as they werne't applying it properly) and the sassy 'sound like apple users' comment references the way ANTI-apple folks assume you people are less than adequite users.
       If I called an apple an orange, you would say I was wrong. If I did it repeatedly, after correction, you would assume Im incompetant.
       Seriously, its a stupid machine and will only do what you tell it. (true for all computers, apple or otherwise)
       So if I ask for a mail client, dont give me a provider. If I ask for a service, dont name a client. 
        Your right, this post is old. And stilll doesnt have an answer. . .
        In response to MichelPM, I didnt call your baby ugly. The 'Bandwagoning' is cute though. My advice is sound, and helping you folks not to look so... well... stupid.
        Since you interceded though, how about a little help? What mail client do you use? Is it exchange Compatible, with active sync? Does it offer multi-profile support? And the clients want images in their signatures, and multi signature support. (I can do this with my android phone ) 
    Im looking forward to your responses.

    There is no Flash for iOS and there never will be any Flash.
    Try the newer HTML5 versions of those Web sites that offer it.
