Comments on: UBS: Half of new iPads sold will tap into 4G http://gigaom.com/2012/03/21/ubs-half-of-new-ipads-sold-will-tap-into-4g/ Mon, 20 May 2013 15:43:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Gee http://gigaom.com/2012/03/21/ubs-half-of-new-ipads-sold-will-tap-into-4g/#comment-822472 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 23:03:13 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=502011#comment-822472 First, there are no contracts with ipads on either carrier.

Second, the new ipad isn’t quad core.

But it’s not even 33% vs 40%: If I get it correctly, UBS said that they were 60% of iPad were Wi-Fi only before. The study from V3 says that the highest iPad model sale is a 3G one!

Anyway, it’s just a detail. I agree with your article.

It’s a study of Western Europe, but it concluded that 1/3 of iPad sales were the 64 GB 3G iPad 2. 33% isn’t 40%, but there are other 3G iPads besides the 64 GB version

I have never used the 3G connectivity and never will in the near future.

Lindsworth, I’m curious as to whether you think contracts are a good idea. They don’t seem to give you much of discount, at least not compared to the subsidies on iPhones.

American more comfortable with the idea of the Apple iPad as a serious gadget and thus are now wiling to commit to get the blazing fast speeds of LTE. After all, if a 2 year contract gets you connected anywhere, why not go the full hog instead of just Wi-Fi. LTE, Retina display and Quad-Core are what everybody was dreaming of…..and Apple iPad 3 Delivered

This is at odds with Apple’s global iPad sales for the same quarter at 11.12 Million units.. Other tablets including webOS could not have filled the rest. All studies i have seen point to a 60/40 or 50/50 split.
