The new iPad, the iPad 3, the new
iPad 3… call it what you want, but it's a device that from the outside looks
remarkably like the iPad 2 but with an overhaul on the innards.
The question most people ask us when
it comes to the new iPad is: what's different from the old one? Well, in this
case it's pretty easy: there's a Retina Display that makes everything looks
superbly crisp, an updated A5X processor bringing quad-core graphics and a 5MP
camera on the rear with a VGA sensor on the front.Oh, and the iPad 3 is also
the device that brings iOS 5.1 to the masses.
The design of the new iPad 3 isn't
really anything different from the original duo from Apple's tablet range.
Actually, while we're thinking about it, it looks almost identical to the iPad
2 – to the point you'd struggle to tell them apart when turned off. However, in
the hand, there's a little bit of a difference, especially when it comes to the
weight. The new iPad is nearly 60g heavier than the previous iteration, and
while it's not terrible, it does add a little arm strain during a marathon
movie session.
Before we get onto all the normal
insight over the frame of the new iPad, it's worth talking about the main
feature: the Retina Display. Apple has packed a huge amount more pixels into
the 9.7-inch screen - 1536 x 2048 to be exact. Apple has got around this fact
by stating that the screen is meant to be held at 15 inches from the face,
rather than the 10 inches the iPhone is supposed to from your eyes, and as such
the sharpness is the same
The new iPad, as we said, is only
marginally thicker and a little heavier than the iPad 2, and if you pick it up
with no knowledge of the former, you'll likely be mighty impressed.
The rest of the design is premium
too - given you can be paying nearly £700 for a top end model, it needs to seem
like a worthwhile investment, and it does. The curved edges, the oleophobic
scratch-proof glass and the aluminum chassis are all the kind of thing that
some Android tablets have tried to ape and failed. Of course, many will prefer
the feather-light frames of some of the Samsung models but, like the screen, it
really comes down to personal preference. The buttonry on the new iPad is
pretty sparse though - we're talking four buttons and that's your lot. The
iconic home button is back once again, despite rumors of its demise, and is
easy to reach and hit within the thick bezel. The rest of the buttons are all
clustered tightly together in the top left-hand corner of the new iPad, with
the rocker/volume key, the mute/orientation switch and power/lock key all
within an inch of one another. As you can see, Apple has been pretty efficient
with the button placement, with all of them performing more than one function.
And they say the iPad can't multi-task...
The new iPad 3 picks up the iOS
story where the iPad 2 left off - with an incremental upgrade to iOS 5.1 the
main talking point. The home screen is laid out in a very similar way to the
iPhone, except we're seeing some much larger icons for the apps you've downloaded.
You can fill as many home screens as you like with apps as you download more
from the App Store, and swiping from screen to screen on the iPad 3 is silky
smooth even with loads of programs downloaded.
Moreover to it ipad3 has a 5mp rear
camera which offers 1080p video recording @ 30 FPS. The Smart Cover, introduced
with the iPad 2, is a screen protector that magnetically attaches to the face
of the iPad. The cover has three folds which allow it to convert into a stand,
which is also held together by magnets. While original iPad owners could
purchase a black case that included a similarly folding cover, the Smart Cover
is meant to be more minimal, easily detachable, and protects only the screen.
Smart Covers have a microfiber bottom that cleans the front of the iPad, and
wakes up the iPad when the cover is removed. There are five different colors of
both polyurethane and leather, with leather being more expensive than the
polyurethane version. Well the ipad3 has many other accessories too, so let’s
check out video……to see the speculations about the ipad3…….
