The Apple iPad 4 (A1460) Black — The Lightning iPad

Released in November 2012, the fourth-generation iPad was a rapid successor to the third-generation model, introduced just seven months after it. The most significant change was the transition from Apple’s legacy 30-pin connector to the new Lightning connector — a smaller, reversible connector that Apple was rolling out across its product line. The A1460 is the cellular model with 4G LTE connectivity. The iPad 4 also introduced the Apple A6X processor, a significant performance upgrade over the A5X that powered dramatically faster rendering and more capable gaming.

Lightning Connector

The Lightning connector was one of Apple’s most significant accessory transitions since the iPod. Smaller, more durable, and reversible (eliminating the frustration of inserting it upside down), Lightning replaced the 30-pin connector that had been standard across Apple’s iOS devices since 2003. While the transition rendered millions of existing accessories incompatible, Lightning proved far superior in practice and remained Apple’s standard iOS connector until the transition to USB-C began with the iPad Pro in 2018.

A6X Performance

The Apple A6X processor doubled CPU and GPU performance compared to the A5X, making the iPad 4 significantly faster for all tasks. This made it a genuinely capable machine for professional creative work — video editing, music production, graphic design — that pushed the boundaries of what a tablet could accomplish.
