It feels like the iPad 2 catches the network (e instead of 3g) worse than the iPad 4 and iPhone 5. Is that right?
If yes, why? Maybe different chips, boards?

As far as I understand, in them at least the antennas are located differently, which means there is a difference.
There were wonderful videos with the "deadly" capture of the iPhone, when he lost connection even in his hand.
Well, yes, it is obvious that the radio modules are different, because science does not stand still, which means you can make it more energy efficient.

If you are guided by evaluating "catches the net" by the number of "strips" on the indicator, then you are very wrong. How many stripes to draw is decided by the OS. How much you need, so much and draw. For example, I have noticed that they forcibly show no WiFi signal (at all) if it is not strong enough for stable operation. For example, this is very well seen by geolocation. iPad "does not see" a single point on the air, however, it perfectly positions itself over WiFi.
