Only 6% of Internet connections made ​​through the iPad mobile networks

Apple has already sold more than three million new tablet iPad, among the main difference from the first two generations of the screen is not only Retina, but also the support networks of the fourth-generation standard LTE. At the same time still selling iPad, and iPad 2 showed that the versions with 3G unit sold worse than the version with only Wi-Fi. The reason for the relatively low popularity was definitely higher cost models-radio, which most buyers prefer to sacrifice in order to save money. The company Localytics collected statistics on the use of networks to download the application, which allows to estimate the number of devices connected through the network operators and to compare the ratio of mobile networks, and local Wi-Fi networks. Of the total number of registered iPad only 1.5% support the 4G LTE network, and 8.8% have a 3G module, and the vast majority, 89.7% of tablets are the only devices with support for only Wi-Fi. The share of connecting devices to the Internet to share mobile network falls 6%, that is not even all devices with 4G and 3G modules are used constantly to work in service provider networks. It is interesting that the statistics of the percentage of Wi-Fi and mobile networks is different for 3G and 4G devices. In the presence of 3G modules to share the use of this type of connection for connecting to the Internet account for 45%, and in case of 4G, it is only 36%. This is due to the discrepancy may be a lower coverage area networks, LTE. statistics gathered by the U.S. market, but the difference with other countries is unlikely to be fundamental.
