The Apple conference ended with the announcement of the third generation of the iPad, which Apple decided to call the new iPad as we indicated in Our detailed article about the conference, Apple has already achieved all the traditional expectations except for Siri, which it wanted to distinguish with the iPhone 4S, and the question that occupies the mind of every current iPad user is: Should I buy this new iPad or not? Are the new specifications worth paying for, for a new device? What are these specifications compared to the second iPad? All these questions we seek to answer in our article, where we will explain a feature of the new device in detail and compare it with the iPad 2, so that you can finally make your right decision?

Points for clarification before starting the article:

  • In the article, we will present the feature and then comment on the importance of this feature in your purchase decision, for example if the screen is the decisive factor in making your decision, what do you do? Read our review.
    •  We wanted to clarify because some points you will find the comment says in this case, buy the device, and in other cases you say do not buy it, so that we are not accused of inconsistency in the advice, we offer this clarification.
* Remember that first and foremost the purchase decision is yours, you are the one who pays the money and we only seek to help you in your decision and we do not take it on your behalf, and we will not benefit from anything if you buy the device or not.
* All the comparisons were based on numbers and accounts from documented sites, including the Apple website, but the device has not yet been issued in order for us to experiment with a process.

Retina screen

The screen is Apple's black horse and its primary weapon in selling the new device and this was evident from the ads that Apple began to present minutes after the end of the conference, just as Siri was the reason for the sales of the iPhone 4S and its advertising focus as well, Apple hopes to repeat the same thing with the screen, and indeed Apple has made a huge development in the screen, where the image size has doubled twice, which means that the pixel has doubled 4 times. This matter is not easy at all, as some think. If it was easy, any company would have done it previously, and before we talk about it, watch this video to get to know the quality of the screen.

Now let's explain in a simple way what is the reason for this difficulty? What is the pixel originally and how much is it? To know the pixel size, look at your current iPad device. This screen that is in your hands contains 786,432 pixels, meaning that the iPad's 9.7-inch screen, divide it into three quarters of a million parts to reach the size of a single pixel, each pixel contains three colors: red, green and blue And the graphic processor sends signals to them to light these and close these to give the appropriate color for each pixel and thus the image appears. This is the iPad that is in your hands now, so how is the case with the new iPad?

Here, one pixel (which contains three colors) must be made 4 pixels in the same place, and of course the number of interior colors has doubled to 12 colors, so the traditional signals that arrive to light up a part and close it will not perform the same task and must be redesigned again and divided, and thus the processor must From changing it to suit the new modifications, any total change, and this gives you a precision you can never dream of.

This high resolution is not found in any other mobile device, whether a phone or a music player such as an iPod, tablet, or even a laptop, and most conventional televisions, even HD ones, are not that clear, this is a comparison between the iPad 2 and the new iPad to know the difference.

Amazing progress in the iPad screen, everyone knew that the device will come with a Retina screen, but I did not imagine it to be this high quality, as I was watching the video provided by Apple and I feel awe, so if you are one of those who use the iPad a lot in reading, high-quality games or following pictures in a way Professional or generally concerned with the beauty of what you see. In this case, this screen will dazzle you and I advise you to buy the new device. And whoever says screen clarity is not important, I tell him so that you know the difference, compare the iPhone 3G screen with the iPhone 4 screen. If the big difference between them dazzles you, know that the new iPad screen will also dazzle you.


LTE support (only works in USA)

Apple made a radical change in private networks, after it became support for fourth generation networks, we can say that it has become a global device wherever you go. It will provide you with the maximum benefit from the network speed as it now supports HSDPA-21 Mbps; HSUPA-5.76 Mbps LTE-73 Mbps in addition to that it works as a personal hotspot hotspot (this was a point of superiority to some other tablets), and it is worth noting that despite the release of more than a hundred new tablets around the world during 2011, the number of tablets that support XNUMXG networks is on the fingers. .

Comment iPhone Islam

Unfortunately, it is clear that Apple only supports the frequencies of 700, 2100 MHz, and these frequencies only work in America, Canada, and a few countries. Even if your country has support for fourth generation networks, the iPad will not work at the speed of the fourth generation, but will work at a 2G speed like the iPad XNUMX, Therefore, if the speed of the Internet over the networks is the difference in your purchase of the new iPad, we recommend that you not buy it unless you live in America.


The speed of the machine

A new Apple did not present and the device came with the same processor speed as its previous brother, the iPad 2, which is a dual-core 1 GB, but the performance of the graphics processor has been doubled, meaning that the speed of games will increase significantly in front of you, but the performance of the device in general has not changed.

Comment iPhone Islam

If you are a fan of large-sized and high-quality games, we recommend that you buy the device, but if your use of the iPad is traditional, such as regular games, surfing the Internet, reading books and running other regular applications, you will not feel the difference in speed, so there is no need to pay more money for a feature that you will not benefit from.


Photography

Another major development that Apple made in photography, as we mentioned earlier that Apple is making continuous development in photography with every iPhone, but the iPad has not yet reached this development, as the first generation did not contain a camera at all, and the second generation came with a 0.7 mega-pixel camera, which is an old camera (although It looks good), but this matter is over, as Apple introduced a 5 mega pixel camera in the new iPad, not a traditional 5 mega-pixel camera like the iPhone 4, but a similar camera to the 4S in terms of specifications, such as image sharpness and the availability of an additional lens to increase the lighting and other advantages. The camera, in addition to the retina screen, and other imaging features such as touch to focus, recognize faces, add your location to photos, and other features that were missing from the iPad make you get unprecedented images on any tablet device. These are pictures taken with the new iPad.

The other point is video shooting, there came another development, and although the video shooting on the second iPad was great in 720p quality, Apple has made a new development by providing 1080p, which is a high-quality imaging similar to that found on the iPhone 4S, and there is no camera on a tablet device that visualizes with a higher resolution than that and perhaps It is the best camera because by analogy, even a tablet that contains 1080p photography does not have the same lenses that are found on the iPad, nor any of the features that exist with this camera, such as the vibration sensor when shooting video to stabilize images and reduce vibration to reach superior quality in photography through automatic stabilization and also Another feature Apple announced is removing image noise to increase clarity in poor lighting.

Comment iPhone Islam

There is no discussion, there is a great progress in the camera, and at this point the new iPad is far superior to the second iPad. If you care about photography, then there is no comparison between them.


Battery life

We were not previously to talk about the iPad battery, because iPad 1 and then 2 at the time they were launched had a battery that is considered the highest in the world 6930 mAh (the highest battery currently is 7000), but Apple has added a Retina screen, which requires doubling the graphics processor in addition To the presence of the fourth generation networks, which destroy the battery, as stated above And we mentioned in an article dedicated to it. But Apple says that there is a new battery in the new device and its capacity has not been officially announced, but it was estimated at 11780 mAh or in another form, 42.5Wh, an increase of 70% for the iPad 2, but do not think that it will live longer, according to Apple the battery is able to last for 10 hours On the fourth generation networks, it is very good and unprecedented in any other tablet device, but this number is similar to the iPad the second generation 3G, meaning that Apple added a new battery capacity equivalent to the shortfall that occurs due to the new features.

Comment iPhone Islam

There is no difference in the battery, but iPad users with Wi-Fi only will feel a significant and noticeable improvement in performance and battery life.


Other differences

  • The weight of the new iPad is more than the second iPad by nearly 50 grams.
    • I don't think you will feel much of a difference
  • The new iPad contains Bluetooth 4 on the iPhone 4S Against Bluetooth 2.1 on the second iPad
    •  This feature takes advantage of the new accessories
  • The new iPad has the Voice Dictation feature, which is not available on the second iPad
    • Unfortunately, there is no support for the Arabic language in phonetic dictation, but of course the entire device has Arabic support like all Apple devices
  • The iPad 2 Smart Cover also works on the new iPad

Now, after this comparison between the specifications of the two devices, will you buy the new iPad?
