  • The main difference besides processor speed is the iPad 3 has the retina display which gives a better image on the screen. It's actually 4 times higher, (1024x768 vs 2048x1536).

    The other major difference is that the iPad 2 is only available as 16GB, whereas you can go to 64GB with the iPad 3.
