The New iPad Makes Apple’s Tablet Domination Clearer Than Ever | TechCrunch
Even if you have perfect vision, indulge me here for a second. You know when you go in for an eye exam and you're asked to look at a combination of letters and numbers on a chart against a far wall? You read the first few lines, then realize you actually can't go any further. Then you get prescribed glasses (or contacts) and you can all of a sudden read every letter and number. And even the ones you could read before are now so much clearer. That's what it's like looking at the new iPad versus the older iPads. It's weird because I was never one of those people who thought the original iPad's and the iPad 2's screen was poor (but there were plenty of those people in the post-iPhone Retina world). I guess it's just like a pre-glasses world — you never realize how blurry things are because that's just how you've always seen everything. And then you put the glasses on and you wonder how you ever managed without them. Once you see and use the new iPad, there will be no going back.
