If you want a New iPad, you’re going to have to wait. Apple says pre-orders are sold out so if you order one now, it will not arrive on March 16th. But that may be good news because you’ve got another choice to make. Are you going to get a New Verizon iPad or a New AT&T iPad? What’s the difference? Well, both Verizon and AT&T say they have the largest 4G Network, but remember, 4G is not a technical standard, it’s a marketing term, so all 4G is not alike. Verizon has over 196 markets covered with LTE which, depending where you live, is 6 to 10 times faster than 3G. AT&T says its network is larger, but in many markets, it uses a slower technology which is just a suped-up version of its existing 3G network. Will it matter to you? It certainly will, so, before you choose your carrier, be sure to check out what 4G really means where you live.
