If only it were as simple as 1, 2, 3, 4 … Apple go to great lengths to confuse us when it comes to iPad\u2019s don\u2019t they? Yet it all started off so straightforward with the iPad 1 and 2.<\/p>\n

However, the introduction of the third iPad soon had people scratching their heads with confusion.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The iPad 3 is officially called \u201cThe New iPad<\/strong>\u201d, which we could live with at the time. That was until the the iPad 4 was pushed into the market in November 2012, which made the new iPad the old iPad!? The iPad 4 is officially labeled as \u201cThe iPad with Retina Display<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

However the confusing thing here is that the iPad 3 (aka the New iPad) already had Retina Display, so really the iPad 4 (aka The Retina Display) should have been labelled as The iPad<\/strong> with Lightning Connector<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Finding out the Storage<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you are unclear on what memory your iPad holds then there is one really simple way to find out. Flip your iPad over so you are now looking at the back.<\/p>\n

Near the bottom under the Apple logo, and under the words \u2018iPad\u2019 you will see \u201c16GB<\/strong>\u201d, \u201c32GB<\/strong>\u201d or \u201c64GB<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n
