So I just bought an iPad4 from Amazon and the first thing I notice is that I can't get Siri activated (it may not even be on the iPad) and also I see no mention of retinal logon. Have I been ripped off? Any ideas?
ps - o/s version 9.3.1
Siri is on the iPad 4. What do you mean by retinal logon? Does the iPad have the newer lightning port for charging? If it has the older 30 pin dock connector, it's not an iPad 4.
So I just ran the serial num thru the website you suggested, and it appears I received an iPad2 instead of an iPad4. False advertising on Amazon. I suppose that explains why there is no Siri nor retina face recog. Thank you for your help
If they’re advertising a 4th generation iPad it’s universally known that it refers to the model not the operating system.Thanks again everyone, btw, when a seller states the iPad is 4th generation are they referring to the model (iPad4) or just the o/s?

He might be referring to the retina screen like on the mini 2. That’s what I was thinking.
All I remember reading in the description was something about a retinal display?
There is no mystery at all - the reference is to Retina Display - a 4X increased resolution of the display screen - the original iPad & iPad 2 had a screen display of 1024Ă—768 pixels at 132 ppi - with the following iPad model releases, the display resolution increased to 2048Ă—1536 pixels at 264 ppi (Retina Display), i.e. twice the ppi & 4x the number of pixels - for more information, check this Wiki Article - NOW, as to 'facial recognition' check HERE - not applicable to previous iPad models, but maybe in the near future?
