Apple announced the 4th-generation iPad today, and it came with some incremental updates compared to the third-gen model, including the new A6X chip, a better camera, and improved WiFi. While some may not see this as a huge update to warrant a completely new generation of the iPad, Apple did add other carriers to the 4G LTE mix.
