????《華爾街日報》（The Wall St. Journal）的沃爾特?莫斯伯格：比高清電視還要高出百萬像素。“主要是對核心功能的升級——9.7英寸屏幕以及蜂巢網絡上的數據速度。這些升級非常重大。使用新的屏幕就像是新配了一副近視眼鏡——你突然意識到自己之前覺得已經很清晰的視野原來可以再清楚很多。”

????《紐約時報》（The New York Times）大衛?波格：對上一版本的改進。“假如你打算購買一部平板電腦，令人高興的一面是：現在只需花同樣的價錢，就可以買到一部升級版iPad，它依然比其他所有競爭產品外觀更漂亮、整體更協調、設計更連貫。但是，假如你已經擁有了一部iPad 2，那就更值得高興了：因為這一次你至少不用像以前那樣覺得自己已經過時了。”

????科技網站The Verge的喬舒亞?托珀爾斯基：平板電腦之王iPad能否衛冕成功？“把那些小小的抱怨放到一邊，說到設計和材質，iPad仍然是平板電腦這一類別中最出色的產品。其他平板電腦可能擁有更多的端口更多或者更大的屏幕，但iPad的精致、美觀和堅實可謂無人能及。”

????蘋果資訊網站Macworld的杰森?思耐爾：蘋果升級了產品，屏幕、攝像頭和無線網絡連接的品質都得到了提升。“何謂全新iPad？就是在新的一年，為數以百萬計iPad用戶打造的升級版iPad。它并沒有變得更小巧或是更輕便，但卻擁有一塊難以置信的屏幕和效果更出眾的后置攝像頭，還能支持更先進的無線蜂窩網絡，速度和Wi-Fi不相上下。它還是成千上萬用戶青睞的產品，但是時隔一年，品質得到了進一步的提升。擁有iPad 2的用戶也不必焦慮，他們的iPad依然能再挺一年。但他們可能不愿意太近距離地欣賞全新iPad的屏幕。一旦仔細鑒賞了視網膜顯示屏，就很難再把眼睛移到別的屏幕上。”

????福克斯新聞（Fox News）的克雷頓?莫里斯：蘋果全新iPad真機實測。“全新iPad擁有更優秀的顯示屏、更快速的處理器、更出色的攝像頭，當然，也少不了生機勃勃的全新操作系統。這些乍看起來可能只是平板電腦領域的一小步。但當我親身體驗了全新iPad一周后，我可以明確告訴你，這是互聯網世界向前的一大步。”

????科技博客Daring Fireball的約翰?格魯伯：像素像素像素，電池電池電池，速度速度速度。“在這么大的視網膜顯示屏上閱讀，感覺真是棒極了。你可以試試在幾個小時后轉回iPad 2上看看，那感覺就像回到了上個世紀。在像素較少的屏幕上，反鋸齒文字的效果很模糊；在中等像素的屏幕上，反鋸齒文字的效果不錯；但在像素如此之高的全新iPad上，反鋸齒文字的顯示效果簡直超乎想像——你之前所看到的效果很好的文字（例如iPad 2上的文字），如今看來都模糊不堪，可謂‘曾經滄海難為水’。”

????The Wall St. Journal's Walt Mossberg: A Million More Pixels Than HDTV. "The key upgrades are to those core features — the 9.7-inch screen and the data speed over cellular networks. These upgrades are massive. Using the new display is like getting a new eyeglasses prescription — you suddenly realize what you thought looked sharp before wasn't nearly as sharp as it could be."

????The New York Times' David Pogue: A Polishing of the Old. "If you're in the market for a tablet, here's the bright side: For the same price as before, you can now get an updated iPad that's still better-looking, better integrated and more consistently designed than any of its rivals. And if you already have the iPad 2, here's an even brighter side: At least this time around, you don't have to feel quite as obsolete as usual."

????The Verge's Joshua Topolsky: Does the tablet king retain its crown? "Minor gripes aside, the iPad remains best in breed when it comes to design and materials. Other tablets may have more ports or larger screens, but few can match the elegance, sleekness, or solidness of this device."

????Macworld's Jason Snell: Apple advances the ball with a better screen, camera, and cellular connection. "The new iPad is just that: The iPad, updated for a new year and millions of new iPad users. It's not smaller or lighter, but it's got a remarkable screen, a much better rear camera, and support for cellular networking that can run at Wi-Fi speeds. It's the iPad that millions of people have embraced, only one year better. Users of the iPad 2 shouldn't fret: Their iPad investment is certainly good for another year. But they might not want to look too closely at the new iPad's screen. Once you get a load of that Retina display, it's hard to go back to anything else."

????Fox News' Clayton Morris: Hands-on with Apple's new iPad. "The new iPad includes a better display, faster performance, better camera, and a snappy new operating system. Those may seem like small steps in the tablet space. But having used the new iPad for the past week now, I can tell you it's a giant leap for connected mankind."

????Daring Fireball's John Gruber: Pixels pixels pixels. Battery battery battery. Speed speed speed. "Reading on the big retina display is pure joy. Going back to the iPad 2 after reading for a few hours on the iPad 3 is jarring. With bigger pixels, anti-aliased text looks blurry; with smaller pixels, anti-aliased text looks good; but with really small pixels like these, anti-aliased text looks impossibly good — and what you thought looked pretty good before (like text rendered on older iPads) now looks blurry."
