When the market was represented by the first generation of iPad Mini , many were surprised – but how is it that the same breach the covenants of Steve Jobs, and generally interested in a small iPad? After a while it became clear that all of the covenants in the long run is not as important as comfort 8-inch device has proved very popular. However, the iPad mini was at a huge disadvantage – the screen resolution is identical to the old generation of full-size iPad. With the release of the second version of the mini situation has changed radically, the tablet is not just received an update stuffing, but also a stunning display Retina. Everything in order.

Design

Apple is known for one interesting feature – if the design of the device fails, which happens almost always, the kupertinovtsy continue to use it for several generations. To say that the iPad mini was successful in appearance, so do not lie at all. The device was incredibly convenient in terms of its ergonomics. It reduced the body and became the key to the huge success of the tablet on the market, full-sized iPad has seemed large and unwieldy devices.

iPad mini 2 nd generation looks little different from its predecessor – its design has remained unchanged, although the new body color is worth mentioning. In domestic containment color called “milky gray”, but in fact this is the «Space Gray», known to us by iPhone 5s. Color is not better or worse – it is just different.

Since we were talking about the case, it is worth mentioning that the new iPad mini thicker old 0.3 millimeter, the same goes for the weight – the difference is on average 30 grams. Probably, this weight gain is associated with increased battery, since the tablet has become more powerful, and constant image processing such permission effect on energy consumption, but engineers managed to preserve the autonomy of 9 hours on a single charge.

In general we can say that Apple does not spoil what is done well. In the case of the iPad mini, everything is just so, and even a slight increase in size and weight pales before the innovations that are found in the iPad mini with a display Retina. The plate was still easy to use and compact, simply a pleasure to use.

Iron

It would be very strange decision to equip the iPad mini iron 2 last year, when there is a powerful 64-bit processor with a coprocessor A7 movement M7? In Apple understand this, and so now the iPad mini iron is almost identical to the older brother iPad Air. Why “almost”? There is a difference, but it is not so significant as to dwell on this – the processor iPad mini 2nd generation clocked at 100 MHz lower than the iPad Air – 1,3 GHz compared to 1.4 GHz. The rest of the processing power of tablets are on the same level. The difference in the 100 MHz is not too noticeable in synthetic benchmarks – here iPad Air wins with minimum disruption. In Geekbench 3 difference was an average of 100 points.

As for the so-called everyday performance, in this regard, iPad mini 2 shows himself a really powerful device capable of effortlessly render all the graphics in very high resolution. Speaking of resolution – screen iPad mini second generation now has an amazing density of the points in 326 ppi, and its resolution is identical to the full-size iPad – 2048 x 1536 pixels. Color saturation and contrast at the highest level, as well as viewing angles – the tablet comfortably use almost any angle.

However, it is worth noting is the fact that in our editorial soul crept into question with an analogy with the iPad third generation, who used to work at their best, squeezing all the juice out of A5X. In applications that are heavily loaded with the tablet, there is the following situation – if the interface with the system everything is fine, in some demanding games, all is not so good, there are often quite noticeable sagging in the frame rate. Apparently, it is in this case, affect those same 100 MHz frequency, which is not enough iPad mini 2. Or the question is that the applications at the moment is simply not too friendly to the 64-bit architecture and eventually everything will fall into place. Would like to believe it is in the latter.

Camera

Since then, some manufacturers began to consider it necessary to install cameras in their tablets. You’ve probably seen people who are trying to remove something on a large plastic or metal plates? It looks, frankly, it’s funny. In the iPad mini 2, however, could not have done without the cameras, but talk about a marked improvement is not necessary – the front FaceTime HD 1.2 megapixel, rear fairly average quality sensor to 5 megapixels. Count on the fact that the iPad mini 2 will be able to replace your digital cameras, you can hardly expect.

Total

As a result, we get a continuation of the line is very controversial mini-tablets. Despite the fact that in most applications, iPad mini 2 works perfectly without any complaints, serious and graphically sophisticated games force the tablet to work at maximum capacity. Again – let’s see what will happen next, perhaps, soon everything will be fine. And the example of the iPad third generation – the first device in a line of iPad, which offered a gorgeous display, but the display on the tablet was no longer any advantage – not be as relevant. The most important question that gnaws sure many of our readers and viewers – should take it or not? To change your current iPad or not? Hand on heart, I can say that I personally would have changed. Stunning Display – this is probably the fact, because of what is to take the device plus everything you need to consider that the iPad mini excellent feel in the domestic LTE-networks.

Just a few minutes ago in the online Apple stores in Europe, the U.S. and some Asian countries has become available for the purchase of a new iPad mini, received the Retina Display . Value tablet as in the case with the previous generation begins with $ 399.

Prior to that store would be closed, which caused rumors and speculation. Now, these rumors come true, and very soon the new iPad will arrive to the first customers. As soon as the tablet will be in our hands, we will certainly prepare you for the detailed and interesting review.

As if Apple did not, and do not position their products, it is like any other technology, tend to scratch. Of course, in silver scratches and abrasions are seen not as, for example, in black (now altered and called “gray space”), but that does not help. Therefore covers – is an essential accessory of almost every owner of an iOS-device. At the last presentation Apple has introduced its own covers for iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, and today has pleased us another novelty in the accessories category – new covers, but for the iPad and iPad mini.

Unfortunately, over the covers of almost no information yet. Therefore confine ourselves to pictures. And as soon as they come to us – we’ll do the best reviews!

Many colors: light brown, light pink, black, yellow, blue and red. At the time of writing the material on the site were covers for Apple iPad Air for $ 39 in polyurethane for $ 79 and leather for iPad mini for $ 69 from the skin.

Alternative to Google

As we know, Google unveiled its tablet Google Nexus 7 of the second generation, the display of which is almost identical to the famous Retina-display of Apple. However, the main difference lies in the fact that the tablet from Google is worth $ 100 less. And if the second generation of the company will introduce a device that even at the cost of more than $ 100, can not get ahead of the decision of Google in terms of the display, it is hardly pleasant to affect sales of the new device.

In theory, one could argue, saying that the choice of iPad Mini you are paying for quality materials, but on the other hand, and perhaps more importantly, they display?

Display – almost the most important thing in the device

I think no one would think to deny it. Display – this is something with which we come into contact more often when using the device. That is why the display should be on the most decent level. And of course, Apple should take this into account, producing not the best solution on the market.

Buyers concerned about the finished product

If you think about it, customers do not care how the producer receives money from your device, and this is important if we compare the cost of the iPad and Google Nexus 7 of the second generation.

What are the differences? And those that Google has already made the mistake of trying to earn money for their services and advertising, which are actively used in the Google Nexus 7. Apple prefers to make money is to sell the device with the “technical” point of view. That is, they are not trying to cash in on those services that are offered with the device. They prefer to make a profit on the profitable sale of the device relative to the price that was worth all the parts, assembling the device, and so on. But it is very difficult to forget about how much money the company brings services and iTunes App Store.

Therefore, ask to Apple about her to do the same at the price of the device, but with Retina display – it is wrong, but to ask that for the same money we could get a device with a Retina display – completely.

What would you like to see in the new iPad? For example, I would not give up new solutions in terms of housing or to availability pay for purchases in iTunes with one touch finger, that is, the availability of Touch ID in the new iPad Mini.

The post Why Apple should use Retina Display in iPad mini 2 appeared first on Raqwe.

Presentation of the new iPhone is over, but users iOS-devices do not even think to relax: coming event dedicated to the announcement of the new-generation iPad, which is expected to be held on October 15 . It is expected that at its next event Apple will introduce iPad 5, the updated Mac computers , some products for iOS, and the iPad mini 2 with a display Retina. However, many analysts do not believe the “younger” tablet hits the shelves Apple Store before the end of this year.

This time with skeptical statements against the iPad mini 2 representative of the company IHS iSuppli. According to him, the output iPad 5 this year, no doubt – Apple for a year did not renew their “senior” tablet. Nevertheless, it is certain that the release of mini 2 will be more appropriate in the first quarter of next year. And there are good reasons.

Last spring, Tim Cook announced the third-generation iPad – Apple’s first tablet with a display Retina. It was expected that the iPad 4 will be in about a year, but in Cupertino decided to change the cycle update your gadget. Instead, the company introduced just two tablet (iPad 4 and iPad mini) after only a few months.

Once Apple has once went to the rescheduling of the output device, why not do it again? The company is known for its unpredictability. At the same time, now it is getting harder to surprise their users, most leaks “merge” in the Network before the official release of gadgets.

In addition, the technology giant will face the challenge of meeting the demand for the new iPad. At the moment, he barely manages to cope with the shortage of iPhone 5S (especially the “gold” version), and after the announcement of two tablet production capacity of suppliers Apple may simply not be enough.

Once Google has released a new version of the tablet Nexus 7 (of course, on Android), analysts are looking forward to a reciprocal course Apple. According to the latest news , iPad mini 2 will not only get the display Retina, but will get a powerful 64-bit CPU, A7, and a fingerprint reader.

Apple will use Retina-displays from Samsung’s second-generation iPad mini, writes The Wall Street Journal. IPhone maker expected to manage the supply of screens from companies LG Display and Sharp However, to provide the necessary amount of devices, the Cupertino-based corporation will have to resort to the help of a competitor.
