Apple looking into rare Wi-Fi issues on new iPad According to an internal Apple document uncovered by 9to5mac, the new iPad is having some Wi-Fi issues.
Users have complained about slow download and upload speeds, dropped connections and a complete inability to find Wi-Fi networks to start.

There is also a thread in the official Apple support forums that has 715 responses about the Wi-Fi issues with the new flagship tablet.

The site does note that the 4G LTE models are likely without issue 'due to the extra network power allowed by the black rubber cut on the top of the unit."

Sounds like someone rushed out a product to cash in on a load of hype :O

So Apple products are not perfect after all? Must've missed that "part" somewhere. Oh, blame those Foxconn workers they built it wrong, our devices are perfect in EVERY way!!!

No sense in smacking the piss out of this one. It's not like CrApple (or any other of a myriad of other rabid corporations) hasn't released a product on the heals of greed & rumor, desperate for that almighty dollar. Then stepped on their incredibly small johnson after they realize they cut WAY too many corner on production (in an attempt to screw their loyal customers) & once again it backfires in their face.

Just going to prove, they can't wait to alienate every one of their customers due to fleecing & lies. If nothing else, PC fans can hack their systems into something usable.
