iPad 3 > iPad 4 - Upgrade advice requested

Glad I sold my iPad 3 about 3 weeks ago, although I did only get £475 for a mint condition black (with box and all packaging) 64GB 4G + Wifi.
 
My Ipad 2 2012 (3) (super incomplete edition) (super overheating edition) bought in March gets really hot after continued use, i would swap it just for that reason.

well mine get slightly warm, if its actually overheating and your not just being dramatic, take it to apple
 
It does get pretty warm, annoyingly so, and about that time is when i seem to encounter the most freezes and the battery diminishing quicker.. for this reason alone i feel most annoyed because i can only assume that the new one wont even get remotely warm with it been a new die.

Clearly a wind up at everyone complaining and probably more specifically comments like this:

I am so confused.. so my new ipad that i bought earlier this year which has a retina display has been replaced by a new model ? what happened to the yearly upgrade cycle ?

There is going to be some proper anger about this

Seems the 4th gen. gets a new charging brick:

It's only an increase of 2W but I've found the 10W still takes forever to charge my iPad 3, so I guess this is a slight improvement.

I charge mine overnight so it never even notice how long it takes. Do like the Lightning connector though, always a faff getting that 30pin docked in the dark! Oh well, I suspect I'll be an iPad 3 owner till this time next year so it'll be one of the few gripes I'll have to put up with till we get the a proper new iPad, inside and out.
 
I bought an iPad 3 from the Kingston Bentall Centre store just over a month ago. After ringing them today, I was told that I could bring it in for a refund onto a gift card which I did. I'm now waiting for the iPad 4.

Nice result. Does that mean you just have to pay the difference, if there's any?

Purchased mine just over a week a go, although whilst in the States, but I'm considering phoning my local store to see what they say. Worth a shot, don't ask, don't get.
 
I am more than happy with my Ipad 3 bought at launch. My only gripe is the charging time and according to apple the 12w charger will work on my one taking charging time down by a 3rd ( waiting for real world confirmation).

The screen is perfect and its jailbroken something the new ipad will not have for a while.

Im am happy to upgrade to a Iphone 5s ;) from a IP4 and Ipad 4 next year.
 
I'd love to see an official statement from Apple to say they are accepting returns of iPad purchased in the last 30 days!
 
Skimmed a few of the reviews today.

In case you were wondering, yes, it still got quite warm when running through the gamut of tests. We don't consider this to be a concern by any means, but if you found the toasty nature of the third-gen iPad distasteful, you're likely to encounter the same heat here.

I think I read in a couple of reviews the battery life is the same (on the wifi models), I know the Telegraph's one said that.

All in all, by the time my 3rd gen iPad feels slow, I'll have already got a 5th gen one.
