So far, it's fantastic! At first, it wasn't automatically connecting to my home wifi (had to keep reentering the password), but I did a "Forget this network" and now it's working fine again.
I finally see what the big deal is with the retina display. It's absolutely gorgeous!
I don't have anyone to FaceTime yet, but I'm looking forward to trying that out.
The overall performance is phenomenal, and 32 Gb is so nice compared to my old 8 GB 2nd gen.
All in all, I'm really happy!
