Is the new iPad the best ever released? In most ways, yes. But – and this may be more visceral than logical – it also feels like something has been taken away from the iPad experience. The 3rd Gen iPad is faster, has a vastly improved touchscreen, and serves up better features like Siri-powered voice dictation, a 5MP camera, and Bluetooth 4.0. But some of the magic has been lost as well.
This perception may pass with time. I hope it does. But for now, I can’t help but feel slightly let down by the heat issue. It’s like buying a car with a faster engine, a geeked-out dashboard and flashier interior, only to find that the AC doesn’t keep you cool.
I’m really not complaining here; in most respects the iPad 3 is a winner, and unquestionably blows the socks off the competition. I’m not returning it. I’m simply saying Apple may have had to sacrifice too much for what it delivered. Time will tell.
