  But obviously it is stupid not to swap it considering they have overclocked the CPU in the new one.
  It is not really overclocked, it is just that they normally underclock their stuff, probably due to design limitations.

  
  
  Wow, with such a knowledge of CPU design, I really hope that you work for ARM, Intel or AMD?

  Apple has therefore chosen to appease some of its customers with an apparently generous gesture of goodwill, by extending its standard 14-day return policy to 30 days for the iPad 3.
  According to ZDNet, staff from Apple's Aberdeen, Birmingham and Kingston stores confirmed their knowledge of the new policy, while those from the corresponding stores in Cardiff and Manchester were completely oblivious to it.
  The offer is possible because the iPad 4 is priced identically to the iPad 3, which has now been discontinued.

  Might be worth keeping a lookout for some more iPad 3 'refurbs' appearing shortly...

  I think the policy is normally 14 days like it is for Mac's.

  It might be worth trying another store if there is one local to you.

  It's a completely new CPU architecture, not overclocked...

  Does the online store count as a retail outlet? I don't see why it should be different, it's still buying direct from Apple.

  The chips are generally underclocked due to battery concerns....
  However, yes, the iPad 3 > 4 is an upgrade from the A5X to the A6X (up to twice as fast based on Apple statistics) processor.

  They haven't just overclocked the CPU, it's a completely new A6X built on A15 tech. Much better than the iPad 3's A5X in every way possible.

  Really disappointed, purchased an iPad 3 about 3 months ago for the fiance and now I see it's dropped. Thanks Apple, no wonder I stick to Android all the time!

  It is disappointing, and a lot of people who have bought it recently will be gutted..
  But I don't really get the Android argument.. new Android tablets from various manufacturer's come out every week... you can never keep up!
