All iPad Models Compared in Ultimate Boot Speed Test [Video]
Comments

it is a stupid test because all devices boot up fast when they are clean right after a restore.

Another stupid test. Maybe the test that i really want to see is which ones turn on faster on charge after they run out of battery. My iPad 3 takes forever

I don't own an ipad 4 since the air came out, both do good bur ipad air is slightly faster charging. What's stupid about the test? It proves how it adds up power to everything.

My iPad 3 also takes forever but its jailbroken and all 64GB are being used so thats that.

Just last night i got the iPad Air 128GB/Cellular and its sure does boots up fast, right now i started restoring from the iCloud all 64GB of Apps from my iPad 3 which will take a few hours and then I'll see how true this test is. One thing for sure is that right away you can feel its power comparing to the 3. The way i figured is that jailbreaking slows down our devices so i got the new iPhone 5S and the iPad Air so after i jailbreak, it will be as fast as my iPhone 5 and iPad 3 un jailbroken. ( I hope )

Sleigher i just read what u wrote all over again and if i get u right u mean that they should test how fast the iPad start while charging after its battery died because your iPad 3 takes forever? I can say a few words about that, first the longer it takes a battery to charge the longer it takes it to die meaning you took a good care of your battery ( one thing i understand is batteries because my hobby is flying model helicopters and the one thing you don't ever want to happened to you is have a battery die in the air ) also i own a Cell/Lab shop and i see so many people charging their iPhones with an iPad charger and then the come to me complaining about the phone dying in 2 hours. 2 more things, your charger is old and might not work as good as it used to and the second is that Apple came out with a slightly more powerful charger for the iPad so check it out at the Apple store or on line.

Sorry what i just wrote was meant for MK.

Ummmm who the hell turns off there ipad? Unless you like 60 years old lol, the avg user never turns off there tablets unless they know there not going to have access to there charger for a period of time and they will need the life.

It's just a test, that's why the ipads were off (unless people try to take your ipad while you use it is why).

So the iPad1 is the fastest of the pre-mini era? Not bad!

Not bad at all, one of my iPads is the 1 and its a beauty but u got to understand that it got no camera or a retina screen and only goes up to iOS 5 so that could be the reason.

Im more surprised no one said some stupid things like "its faster on Air cuz of 64bit!!!"

Exactly, a feature, not some processor!

1st gen does not have 7.0.4 firmware version, it's not even available for the 1st gen iPad

Perhaps learning to read would serve you well in life.

So so true learn to read iPad 1 goes up to 5.1 which is cool in a way because its always jail breakable.

This is great news. I've been searching for this info because I really need to know which iPad to buy and I need to save 10 seconds of boot time for the one time every couple months I may have to reboot my device. Now the choice is clear.

Air, go for it, performance and specs unlike any other!

This was sarcastic....

What part was?

All of it. Why anyone would care about measuring boot times of each device, other than just curiousity, is beyond me. Maybe a chart, but a video with a soundtrack? Ha! Does anyone really factor this in when making a buying choice? My iPads get rebooted maybe 6 times a year. 12 seconds wait or 30 seconds does not matter.

Ok, but for me I want a tablet light and full sized enough to carry around on my back, so I would go for the air since it comes with a power efficent m7 coprocessor!

The iPad 2 did surprisingly good

But are they all new (or the same usage)? All processors degrade over time so this test might not be accurate.

Let's all pretend you're joking.

@iMe, you are another great example how this this community is full of retards.
