New iPad commercials, Apple expounds a philosophy: "We believe that the best technology is invisible, because you focus on only doing things, rather than the device itself."
After the experience can not be said a long nine days, but has languished waiting for, Apple has finally be available in at 8:00 on the 16th of the third generation iPad. People sad, due to time differences, the country sold the same at the first wholesale Australian fruit powder than the United States new people-almost one day to get the iPad. We finally get a 32GB version of the Verizon 4G new iPad to do this evaluation, as a contrast to the model is also running the iOS 5.1 16GB Wi-Fi version of the iPad.
A named
New iPad should be the basic certificate before the release of most of the rumors, except with one exception: the third generation of the iPad is not as guess and was named "the iPad 3" or "the iPad HD", but the use of the "The new iPad "a name. Then, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, senior vice president of worldwide product marketing Phil Schiller, succinctly stated the reasons named by the new iPad unconventional: "... because we do not want to be predictable (because we want to be can not be predicted).
In fact, on closer inspection, is not difficult to find, seemingly so simple explanation, there is a deeper reason. As we all know, Apple most of the product line is the unified name of tradition, rather than for each generation to rename. Whether the iPod (the iPod shuffle, iPod nano, iPod touch) or Mac series (the MacBook Air, the MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Pro), and even the AirPort such accessories are so. But each generation of the iPhone and iPad has a different name to distinguish them. The author believes that the unified name for three main reasons: first, help the user to look at each product line as a whole, rather than man-made product separated by model, Apple's product naming history has been fully proved models of complex products can cause cognitive, sales, management confusion; Second, if the extension is named after the figures, A few years later, the iPad, the iPhone such a large number names at the end will inevitably make people feel weird; third, For most consumers, the need is the latest product, rather than tangle the Apple iPhone 4S 16G
Rating: 8.5
Apple 's iPhone 4S 16GBLowest Price: 4250 yuanAverage Price: 4250 yuanA dealersThe hardware upgrade standby capacity less than or iPhone so that named itself.
New iPad is a return on the Apple product named after the iPad and iPhone may be so only on behalf of the Department of separated names. Of particular note is the temporary title of "The new iPad" is just taken by Apple in order to distinguish the first generation iPad, rather than the official name of the product and otherwise in accordance with the traditional Apple product name without localized, and not in mainland China and The pages will be the third generation iPad known as the "new iPad".Second, the appearance
The new iPad "new" word does not apply to the appearance, the third generation iPad to completely rely on the iPad 2 design (and packaging design) is still 9.7 inches screen, a flat back design and a slight curvature of four weeks. When the two devices together, whether from the front, back, side and do not see any difference. Because of this, originally as the iPad 2 Accessories Smart Cover can still be on the new iPad normal use.
In fact, between the appearance of the new iPad, and iPad or a slight difference. First, the body thickness of 8.8 mm compared to the iPad, the new iPad thick about 0.6 mm. But this little bit of difference, even if the iPad will be two levels together, it can not be very obvious to see. In addition, the new iPad quality than the iPad more about 50g, this gap in actual use only one hand dangling hold in order to slightly feel, of course, might just be psychological effects.
Second, in contrast, the new iPad camera than on the iPad 2 large out of the circle. Part of the camera in the back will be introduced. In short, you want from the hardware the appearance of two generations of products to distinguish, only give you two words: It's hard.
I think the iPad design is perfect, so even the new iPad is not a new design would not have too many regrets (especially for those who have the iPad and does not plan to buy new students ~ ). The increase in thickness and quality due to the increase in battery capacity, which is also responsible for a. As Tencent conference live when guests say, all will be "lighter and thinner" as a selling point when, in order to ensure the user experience they would rather on the thickness of the fuselage sacrifice, probably only Apple.
(3), hardware
The new iPad is defined as "to enhance the experience of a product by enhancing the basic components". As a post-PC era, the definition and promotion of, fuzzy hardware parameters and other information has always been interested in the Apple product promotion, but will focus on the service experience. "We believe that the best technology is invisible, because you focus on only doing things, rather than the device itself."
But since the evaluation, we may wish to look at the new iPad hardware. The third-generation iPad the A5X SoC chip is easy to see from the name, its basic structure should be used with the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S dual-core A5 processor. A5X maximum enhancement is the four core GPU. Apple officials say is a chip designed specifically for the Retina Display A5X, image and floating point performance upgrade to 32GFlops the theoretical data of other commonly used tablet the NVIDIA Tegra chip performance, but there is no actual test data. NVIDIA Apple announced very angry, said that it would test the first time, if the situation is not true, the Apple court. We might as well wait for the follow-up reports.
Evaluation process, we are on the iPad 2 and new iPad running Geekbench program running sub-results are as follows. The new iPad CPU and the iPad as 1GHz, and memory is finally rose from 512MB to 1GB. However, the total score of the new iPad and iPad 2, but not more than the previous generation. In actual experience, the speed of the new iPad indeed comparable and the iPad 2. Of course, this does not mean that the new iPad performance is not strong, whether close or switch programs, new effects are very smooth, almost no delay. Open some big game, the new iPad speed faster than the iPad 2, does not appear to occasionally get stuck in the iPad 2.
Resolution and the GPU has significantly improved, will inevitably bring an increase in power consumption, the use of 10 hours has been the iPad pride (compared to iPhone 4S especially sinister smile :). In order to make this proud to be maintained, Apple decisively to the new iPad battery capacity upgrade of 70%, reaching 42.5 watt hours. The official data is 4G access time of 10 hours, 9 hours. Actual use, the screen brightness set at about 80%, automatic brightness adjustment to open, passed more than five hours from full charge to the 4G network of power left after the toss of the variety of 42%. Endurance capacity is not diminished, the battery dynamic flair is still 0.6 mm thickness of the sacrifice was well worth it. But significantly improve battery capacity has also brought a surprise: compared to the previous two generations of products, the new time required to charge significantly longer.
Fourth, retinal display (Retina Display)
Facing the iPad two years, the author first saw the new iPad, is to rely on how powerful self-control to hold back the whirlwind swearing. "Spring breeze and then the United States is smaller than your screen, have not seen people wasted step."
Since the iPhone 4S equipped with high-definition Retina Display, on the evidence of the high-resolution icons like the iPad will also support the Retina Display. However, the loudest voices change but on the iPad 2 bounced. A year later, Retina Display and finally in the new iPad. New iPad support 2048 × 1536 resolution, four times the original 1024 × 768 resolution, even higher than the 1080p full HD HDTV. If purists, the new iPad is not strictly on the Retina Display, because the iPhone released, Apple Retina Display is defined as pixels per inch density of 326ppi, while the new iPad is 264ppi. However, due to normal use, the eye with the iPad distance (15 cm) is greater than the distance between with the iPhone (10 cm) and 9.7-inch screen, 2048 × 1536 resolution has more than naked eye can distinguish the extent can not see color the same as the pixel, so we are still new iPad screen called Retina Display.
Seeing too. The following figure is the Retina Display and iPad screen contrast. This effect goes without saying.Children will know that for some understanding of graphic design, or pixel principle, high resolution will not necessarily bring better display, in fact more likely to make browsing and reading experience worse. To create a pixel consists of red, yellow, and blue, relying on the three primary colors luminous intensity and duration of the different variety of colors. When the resolution is too high, the color signal confusion, resulting in fuzzy and the color of the picture, making the original text font looks too young (small). Retina Display done not only is the resolution enhancement is the pixel color signals separated, in order to avoid such problems.
Fifth, the camera
the iPad 2 300 000 pixels front camera, 70 megapixel rear camera is the design of a highly criticized. The original bear children photographed holding iPad have been silly enough to have to endure the full picture of the noise. Post new iPad finally equipped with a 5 million pixel iSight camera, support auto focus, auto white balance and face recognition of up to 10 people. The iSight camera also uses a 5 lens design in the iPhone 4S the same, plus an infrared filters, f/2.4 large aperture between the sensor and the lens.But there are some problems. The new iPad black performance is not strong, black partial green. Compared to the iPhone 4S camera performance and electronic processing effects, it can clearly be seen for the details of the dark part of the loss of the more obvious noise. In addition, the pixel, to see full-size photos of the new iPad shoot, is not very satisfactory.
It is worth mentioning is that the iOS 5.1 iPad camera interface has changed, the camera button has been moved from the position of the bottom middle of the right middle, which is the normal grip posture when the thumb is easy to touch. Details greatly enhance the convenience of the iPad camera, and finally both hands firmly holding the screen to take pictures.
iSight also supports 1080p HD video recording, and add image stabilization and noise reduction. (Click to view samples)
Perhaps Apple strongly opposed to the self-timer behavior, or that high pixel FaceTime camera will bring pressure on the network (sigh), the new iPad obstinately continue to adopt a VGA camera, and we ignore it.
Six, 4G LTE network
the iOS 5.1 for AT & T users pseudo-4G (HSPA +), but the new iPad touches real support 4G LTE. IOS support for 4G network devices as the first paragraph, the new iPad exactly how well?
We take the iPhone 4S, the pseudo-4G to compare the new iPad. 3G HSPA +, the theoretical maximum downlink speed of 21Mbps, while the 4G LTE can reach up to 73Mbps.
It should be noted is that the 3G version of the iPad does not support HSPA +, the speed is slower than the iPhone 4S.
We drove to different locations in Minneapolis, to test the actual speed of the two networks. From the software testing, we can see the new iPad download speed of Verizon's 4G network floating 12.75Mbps-18.82Mbps, basically stable at more than 15Mbps, but upload speed ups and downs rather, average only 3Mpbs of about maximum value 9.14Mpbs. The iPhone 4S under the AT & T's HSPA + network download speed of 2.16Mbps-6.51Mbps fluctuations, the average speed of about 3Mpbs upload only 1Mbps. Support LTE, new iPad victory in the iPhone 4S, but, as always, far below the theoretical values: (
Web test, the new iPad fully open Tencent Digital Home spent less than 4 seconds, iPhone 4S is used in about eight seconds.
In the testing process, about an hour after the 4G network, the new body will be able to obviously feel the heat, but It is understood that this is a common problem in the current 4G devices, the fever itself is not serious.
Regrettable that the iPad listed in Hong Kong's first 4G version, Apple China (mainland) new iPad description page is directly removed for 4G, which also means that the 4G version iPad mainland mainstream market. No wonder, after all, mainland 4G commercial is estimated that at least 2023 things for friends to buy parallel, the 4G version is more whether it is worth 130 dollars, a matter of opinion. (China Mobile March 16 has just released news of TD-LTE commercial trial to start next year in nine cities in the country, but: a TD-LTE is not LTE, two commercial trial "and" commercial "or very difference.)
4G LTE is not 3G so mature, unlike the iPhone 4S compatible chips, divided into AT & T and Verizon are two versions of the new iPad 4G. Apple announced the new iPad and iPhone support personal hotspot functionality, but it seems that AT & T versions do not yet support this feature. I get the Verizon version of tested 4G network sharing for mobile devices to provide faster network speed, feels faster than AT & T's HSPA +In the United States, Verizon to provide users with 1GB / $ 20,2 GB / $ 30,5 GB / $ 50,10 GB / fourth gear $ 80 monthly subscription packages, and personal hotspot functionality at no extra charge, because how you use are deducted from the package in the flow; phase than AT & T 250M / $ 14.99,3 GB / $ 30,5 GB / $ 50 third gear packages, each with advantages. 4G service by the user in the iPad self-activation can also be replaced at any time or stop the package. AT & T and Verizon LTE networks band caused by different 4G standard difference, the official said that each model in the United States can only use a specific carrier. Two versions are backward compatible with all standard for 3G networks, 4G network coverage will automatically switch to 3G international roaming Both models can use the GSM network (that is to support China Unicom in China WCDMA and HSPA +). But in fact, we tested the Verizon version of the new iPad, even in the United States can be the perfect use for the iPad designed by AT & T 3G micro sim card. In addition, the Verizon version of the new iPad more than the AT & T version supports CDMA EV-DO Rev.A network, that is likely to support the network of China Telecom in the country (not tested). Taking into account the lack of AT & T version personal hotspot function of the U.S. mainland 4G network coverage (Verizon's 4G network coverage in 196 cities in the AT & T, compared with 28 cities) the Verizon version compared to the AT & T-version of the obvious advantages. If you are considering to purchase the 4G version of the iPad, and I believe the same price Verizon would be a better choice.
Voice input (the Voice Dictation)
Once, there were rumors that Apple tested Siri run above the iPad, but when the new iPad near real time, rumors about the Siri less.
New iPad not final for everyone to bring Siri is, but broke off in which a small part to make voice input dictation. New icon of a microphone (and on the iPhone 4S) in the lower left corner of the keyboard position, press and hold the icon will be able to voice input. The author is free to say a few test, is still the the Nuance home technology, still have a high degree of identification.Children do not want to carry the Bluetooth keyboard does not meet the iPad virtual keyboard, dictation touches another input option: the liberation of your hands, your voice. But it is estimated that not too much, after all, on many public occasions, the voice input is not very convenient. In addition, although the iOS 5.1 new Australian English, French, German, Japanese support, but as always useless Chinese. I wish Apple made before this year commitment of support for the Chinese to be honored as soon as possible.
Eight, the sound quality is still not to the force - requires accessory support
Greatly enhance the display hardware parameters, but the speaker, the new iPad remains independent speaker configuration, so put out, for music is not high degree of analytical, but also by the human ear can be very easily tell the difference.
After the experience can not be said a long nine days, but has languished waiting for, Apple has finally be available in at 8:00 on the 16th of the third generation iPad. People sad, due to time differences, the country sold the same at the first wholesale Australian fruit powder than the United States new people-almost one day to get the iPad.
