Ah right. The site makes it seem like it's iPad2 for £329 and "iPad with retina" (iPad3?) for £399. I was getting confused with the whole version thing, be it 2, 3 or 4 Whittie told me the mini was the 4. The site isn't much clearer. I thought your point was you may as well get the retina display and that's the £399 one, not the £329 one (or so the site implies).

Either way, I've bought the £399 16GB retina one, which I assume is the latest.

The one that was brand new 6 months ago is now £329, that's why there's no reason to buy the older one with a crap screen.


if you mean the "3" apple dont sell it anymore, its the 2 thats £329

Yep, "iPad with Retina display" has replaced the iPad 3. You'd have to be a bit daft to buy a 2 at £329.

Other retailers have been discounting the 3 recently, presumably because the new one is the same rrp so they are gonna be stuck with whatever 3's they had in stock.

Just think, when I see other people with a lesser model I'll be able to comment how awful the screen looks with a smug grin on my face.

I can't really tell the difference with iPads or MacBooks, it's not as obvious as on the phones

make sure you get the 4th gen, if its from argos my guess is they'll still be shifting 3rd gens without specifically stating as a lot of people havent noticed theyve changed
