Apple has just unveiled its new iPad. The iPad Air succeeds iPad 4, and iPad Mini with Retina display iPad mini. Unified in terms of aesthetics, the new tablets are also on the technical side.
It's no surprise that Apple unveiled its new iPad tonight in his San Francisco neighborhoods. The California firm, a true pioneer in the sector of the tablets, now has to face fierce competition briskly by Google, Amazon or Samsung who have already drew their guns. It finally lack that Apple who still now a big leap to catch up to its competitors, and in many areas whether it is large or small format. We can already remove the software aspect of the list since both benefit logically iOS 7 and some 475,000 applications.
Light as Air!
First the track, the iPad comes in 5 Air thinned lines, so in width, with a small bezel 43% in thickness where it reaches 7.5 mm. The situation is all the more striking the balance where it displays only 469 grams, or a loss of 28% for iPad 4. More compact but more swift, the new model inherits unsurprisingly A7 chip that fits the iPhone 5S. As a reminder, this is a dual-core model with the greatest novelty lies in the support of 64-bit architecture. According to Apple, it would be 8 times faster than the first iPad out there four years ago. For a little more current comparison, know that it translates into performance doubled in comparison to the iPad 4, so plan on CPU GPU. The famous M7 processor low consumption also appeared to collect data from the accelerometer, gyroscope and compass.
If the processor is undoubtedly the most important element of this iPad Air, this is obviously not the only component that has received a small update. Its two cameras benefit include improved sensors for low light taken into backlight. Add to that the largest pixel in the case of the webcam guarantee of increased sensitivity. What make you increasingly live video calls FaceTime. The main camera has obviously not been forgotten since it is now a model 5 megapixel iSight stamped.Also a household name since the announcement of the latest iPhone. Note that it will be accompanied by a double microphone for recording quality up to Full HD 1080p. Side autonomy, Apple always promises 10 hours of use.
The mini iPad is catching
The new iPad mini was obviously not very far. Against all odds, Apple has clearly chosen to put at the larger model, the risk always cannibalize sales a little more of the latter. This is very good news for our side! Among the changes in the small tablet, the most important of probably the screen, always with a diagonal of 7.9 ", but now capable of displaying a resolution Retina (2048 x 1536 pixels). This will give him passing its name mini iPad processor side with Retina display., this is also the A7 chip 64-bit which is found for CPU performance announced four times higher than those offered by the chip of the old model, and eight times higher for graphics. As for the large model, autonomy should be about the ten hours.
The Air iPad will be available from 1 November. The iPad Mini with Retina screen himself has not received the same precision as the Apple Store shows only Availability "during November." Both will be available in Space Grey or Silver, as always with different storage options to choose from, but also 4G. For large format, it will take at least € 489. This rate will entitle you to 16 GB WiFi model, while the 4G will raise to 609 € for the same storage capacity. The next smaller size, prices start at € 399 respectively and 519 €.
