IPad 3 Description. Operation experience of the third generation iPad. The main camera of the mobile device is usually located on its back panel and can be combined with one or more optional cameras.

NEW iPad comes in a minimalistic white packaging for this brand. At first glance, this box is completely identical to the tablet used in the previous version, it has exactly the same height and width, but there is one significant difference in it.

By increasing the thickness of the tablet only 0.6 mm, Apple has made a box thicker to a whole centimeter! The meaning of this operation is not entirely understood, from the point of view of logistics the situation clearly worsened, but the marketing promise is read great - "buying New iPad you get more for the same money."

For those who are worried that the iPad 2 instead of the novelty will give him a few visual will take the packaging New iPad.. A photograph of the tablet is applied to the top of the box, in both cases the same angle is used, but on the screen of the new iPad installed other wallpapers - "ripples on water" with a more pronounced blue background instead of the usual grayish "water drops". At the bottom of the face instead of an underwent apple, a silver iCloud service emblem is applied. Well, and naturally the main proof - two stickers with configuration designations on the back of the box. On the left, this is understandable to all the amount of memory and the presence of the 4G module, on the right - part-friendly and the designation of the model. The new iPad is really marked simply as "iPad", distinguish it from iPad 2. You can use the MDXXX view to the Previous version (for the previous version, the MCXXX designation was used).

Go directly to unpacking New iPad. Inside the box, everything without surprises, the tablet itself will be wrapped in a plastic transparent film and is located in a shallow niche.

The rest of the accessories are laid in the plastic pallet separation, this is: a miniature paper envelope with a brief instruction manual, a clip for extracting Micro-SIM in 4G-version and two "apple" stickers (without them in the sect); USB / 30-PIN cable proprietary connector on USB; Charger.

Interestingly, in the American set of delivery New iPad. The charger was placed in one niche, whereas for the European version it took two at once. The fact is that the "WLOKOS" for the United States is made by the folding, while the European fork is still solid.

Note that almost all branded accessories for iPad 2, including SmartCover, are compatible with New iPad, problems may occur only in the case of using too narrow covers from third-party manufacturers.

Design New iPad (iPad 3)

As you know, Apple to the last keeps the design of its new devices in secret, a few informational leaks if they happen, then 100%-approved facts are almost never falling into the category. So, literally a few days before the announcement in the global network, photographs of parts of the NEW iPad enclosure appeared, which indicated that the novelty will be a little thicker. It is significant that many have not believed in their reality, although in the end it turned out to be true.

The second noticeable reason to talk about a markedly updated design was provided by Apple herself, sent to an invitation to a presentation with a photo of edge edge New iPad. Without the usual Home button. Indeed, at the moment the functionality of this hardware key can be replaced with the help of multi-phase gestures, but in some cases (for example, when removing screenshots), it is still impossible to do without it. And nevertheless, due to the fact that the information proceeds directly from the manufacturer, many believed that the button was removed, although in fact the side simply got the side, and not the bottom of the display edging.

As a result, as you already probably know, NEW iPad was performed in the same design as the model of the previous generation iPad 2. The solution is controversial from the point of view of the category of users who would like the actual model in their hands unequivocally recognized by others. However, it is no secret that Apple prefers not to change a successful device design of devices at least two generations, and in some cases even longer - just remember the same MacBook Air. Many, and the author of this material, including, such an approach is much more like more than the annual carousel of new design options, so that the "old" design for disadvantages will not be ranked.

Due to the use of a more capacious battery, the thickness of the tablet increased by only 0.6 mm, but the language does not rotate this change. It is almost impossible to evaluate the increased eye thickness to the eye, for this you have to put two tablets near the hard surface and for a long time to look for the difference. But enlarged by 50 grams compared to iPad 2 Mass New iPad is well distinguishable and without weights. Interestingly, even this increase did not bring the final weight of the novelties to the Apple iPad level of the first generation, which was heavier at least 30 grams. During operation, the tablet's weight is pretty quickly get used to it, it is impossible to call it too sweaty, but the fact remains a fact - competitors lose weight with each generation, and the New iPad had a slightly straight.

For those who are not too well familiar with the previous Apple iPad., briefly describe the features of his design. The front panel of the tablet is completely covered with a protective glass, an additional camera is located on top, from below - the HOME hardware key. The edging of the 9.7-inch matrix is \u200b\u200bwide enough, which allows you to conveniently hold the device with your hands without touching the touch screen. There is a black and white version of the tablet design, affecting only the front panel - the base of the housing in both cases is made of aluminum.

The back panel and the beveled sidewalls NEW iPad are made in the form of a single aluminum part with a glossy apple in the center. The right sidewall contains the volume rocker and the Mute slider, which can also be used to block the screen orientation shift with portrait on the landscape. In the case of the 4G version of the left, you will find a micro-SIM card slot, and from above - a black plastic plug under which the antennas of the mobile module is hidden. Also on top is the power button and standard 3.5-inch audio jack. At the bottom of the tablet there is a single speaker (stereo only in headphones) and a proprietary 30-pin connector.

This connector is fully compatible with previous Apple devices, but its design was noticeably strengthened. It is not difficult to guess that the developers decided to improve the reliability of this element in the conditions of the increased weight of the device. So what has changed? In the metal case, the iPad 2 has a hole of the desired size, and the inner part of the connector (with the exception of contacts) is made of plastic. But B. New iPad. The receiving part of the connector is one integer with the rest of the housing, this is a kind of aluminum chute, laid down during the production of the back cover. Moreover, the "Salazki" on which the plug goes inside is now also made of metal and only the central tongue with contacts for obvious reasons remained plastic.

Obviously, the design of the new iPad is not able to push the user to go from the second to the third generation of Apple tablets. But the improved hardware platform, and most importantly - the Retina-screen, which will be discussed further, not only can, but must do it.

NEW IPAD screen (iPad 3)

The new iPad display is not just good, it is great (Caps Lock is appropriate here than ever). I don't want to spend your time on the selection and enumeration of epithets, just trust the word - after acquaintance with 9.7-inch Retina with an impressive resolution of 2048 × 1536 points (264 PPI) Screens of other tablets sharply become soapy and coarse-grained, as if you forgot Wear your reading glasses. The picture looks like a magazine with excellent color printing placed under the glass - pixels are really indistinguishable to the eye.

The NEW iPad screen resolution is greater than those common Full HD TVs with parameters in 1920 × 1080 and of course more than any other tablet that is on sale at the moment (spring 2012). So far, the only alleged competitor of this model is the non-announced Samsung Galaxy Tab 11.6, based on the Arm Cortex-A15 processor and with rumors possessing a 11.6-inch screen with even greater resolution of 2560 × 1600. However, even at the same time the pixel density remains at the New iPad level due to larger screen size, it is about 260 ppi.

By the way, an interesting example of "modified reality" from Apple - initially the company assured that wearing the proud name Retina have the right only screens with a pixel density of at least 300 ppi (that is, iPhone 4 / 4S and iPod Touch 4 Gen with 326 PPI). However, at the time of the announcement of the New iPad it turned out that not only the clean density should be taken into account, but also ... the distance between the device screen and your eyes. And since a larger 10-inch tablet, you naturally keep in front of yourself not as close as a 3.5-inch smartphone, then the relative PPI indicator of the new tablet just fits into the Retina frame. Is it simple, right? Whoever sets the rules, he changes them.

The production technology of the matrix remained the same, it is all the same well-proven IPS, combining the maximum viewing angles with a naturalistic color scheme. Such screens lose the competing AMOLED technology in terms of contrast and "jutelation" of the picture and the choice between them depends on personal preferences of specific users - someone likes the softness and naturalisticness of IPS, and someone more like a real black and sharp bright colors AMOLED.

Recall that in order to preserve compatibility with existing applications, Apple has decided to increase the NEW iPad screen resolution in proportion. Not the highest according to current standards permission in 1024 × 768 points (132 PPI) was increased to "space" 2048 × 1536 (264 PPI), as a result, the dimension of the image was doubled, and the number of pixels is four times. Thus, the old software works with a new tablet without problems, "accounting" each pixel of its interface, but you certainly get the greatest visual enjoyment from the applications optimized under Retina.

The difference in the level of detail is excellent noticeable by the example of the icons of standard applications. So in the contacts perfectly read the smallest letters of the charts, in Youtube the lattice dynamics is clearly divided into separate risks, and on the veniers there are notches and finally the petals of the flower in the photo can be literally counted on the fingers. During browing in Safari, small fonts remain readable there, where iPad 2 demonstrated the hemored spots. Our website www.Site can be read without any problems even in vertical orientation, the topic menu, the panel to send the news and the most miniature elements of the Sidebar are distinguishable without scaling. Separately select the quality of font drawing in the iBooks application. If earlier you unconsciously increased the font size in order not to face the pixels of characters, now you can easily choose the scale of the label - the text will look crystal clear, as if drawn from the hands of an experienced caligra.

Sky Gamblers: Air Supremacy were used to assess the quality of the graphics: Air Supremacy, Real Racing 2 HD and Angry Birds Rio. The first two projects are already optimized under the Retina display and really great look on the New iPad screen, the level of detail and the realism of what is happening simply rolls. On the test iPad 2 in the same games, you can easily find the notorious "saw" on the diagonal elements, but there are no such artifacts on the new tablet in the same places. The authors of Angry Birds have not yet managed to sharpen their creation to the increased resolution of the New iPad, so this casual toy has become an excellent litmus paper when learning the difference in the mapping. As we expected, the launch of the usual non-optimized game turns (for a while of course) a great Retina-screen in the display of the previous generation.

However, sooner or later, all developers of popular software and games will update their applications, which will lead to an appropriate increase in the size of their distributions. Thus, you may simply not have enough space for the usual set in the case of using the younger 16 GB version of the New iPad, and the model from 128 GB of the Apple memory has not yet suggested. We especially note two sets of excellent native applications for work and entertainment - it's about IWorks (Pages, Keynote and Numbers) and Ilife (iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand).

NEW iPad hardware platform (iPad 3)

Rumors that the new iPad will be based on a quad-core Apple A6 processor began walking long before the tablet announcement. At the same time, an iron argument was made in favor of this version of the development of events - twice the increased screen resolution will require greater productivity. Yes, and give odds to competitors on Android, with might and maintain quad-core NVIDIA TEGRA 3 would not be too correct in terms of marketing.

However, here Apple has proven that she has little business to competitors and trends of the mobile market. She still added nuclei into the processor, but not in its computing part, where only ARM Cortex-A9 pair is still working with a working frequency of 1.0 GHz, and to build it on a pair of dual-core GPU PowerVR SGX543MP4 - in The result of the formula of the new Apple A5X looks like 2 × CPU + 4 × GPU. Interestingly, NVIDIA Tegra 3 contains 17 cores (4 × CPU + 1 Companion + 12 × GPU) and at the same time, during the presentation, Apple indicated that its SOC according to graphic performance is three times faster.

The Apple A5X system is made in 45 nm in technical process, it is made at Samsung's production facilities despite the incessant patent disputes between the two companies. Of the important architectural solutions, it is worth noting the transfer of RAM beyond the processor crystal - the RAM NEW iPad memory with a capacity of 1 GB consists of two separate chips of 512 MB, rendered on the installation fee (in previous solutions of A4 and A5, RAM 256 MB and 512 MB, respectively It was integrated directly in SOC).

Thus, Apple had to be applied noticeably more powerful (and therefore "voracious") hardware stuffing, which could provide sufficient performance in the conditions of work schedules in double resolution. They contributed to increasing the level of energy consumption and the Retina screen, and the 4G module, so in order to save the 10-hour autonomy of Apple, literally had to seek the way to significantly increase the battery capacity. As we know, with the task, the developers coped with a bang, an additional 0.6 mm thickness and 50 grams of the body weight and the New iPad can boast a battery of 42.5 VTCs, while almost all competitors have standard batteries by 25 VTC.

The detailed technical characteristics of the New iPad are shown in the table, except for the new processor and increase the amount of RAM, it is necessary to note the presence of the 4G LTE module in Ukraine, which will work with a maximum in 3G mode.

Performance and autonomy

Before moving to dry testing, we describe the general impressions of working with New iPad. The main thing is that in the daily operation of a special increase in productivity, new products are not felt, some applications are launched a little faster on New iPad, others - on iPad 2, but in general they work as much as the same responsiveness. Such a barrier jump in speed, which was observed during the transition from iPad to iPad 2 no and in risen.

At the same time, the curious pattern is observed: the applications and games are non-optimized under the Retina display run on the new iPad faster than on the old one, but they look like on iPad 2 due to the banal "accounting" of the source images. It is obvious that this is due to the higher performance of the Apple A5X platform and double the amount of RAM. But the optimized software (for example, Sky Gamblers: Air Supremacy), on the contrary, it is usually loaded to the New iPad noticeably longer, slowly unfolding more detailed textures into memory, while iPad 2 apparently works with the SD version of the content. At the same time, a small delay when started with interest is compensated by the beauty of improved graphics on the screen with high detail, but the fact remains the fact - the NEW iPad is not always faster than the iPad. This statement is perfectly illustrated by a summary table of test results. As we see the level of speed of the second and third-generation tablets is almost identical, which is not surprising, and NEW iPad is running forward only in those benchmarks, where the emphasis is on the graphics component, allowing the resources of four graphics cores.

There is nothing about the real autonomy of the New iPad, there is nothing to speak, as we mentioned above, Apple promised users 10-hour autonomy and fulfilled their promise. While writing a NEW iPad and iPad 2 reviews, they were tested according to the same program and in the same way according to a similar schedule with a gap in 5% -10% in favor of the iPad 2 they had fully charged batteries. However, after reaching the critical level of discharge, one small problem was opened - the novelty battery has a capacity of 1.7 times higher (42.5 VTCs against 25 VTH), but it is completed with the same standard charger by 10 W. Thus, your new iPad will be charged noticeably longer than it was in the case of iPad 2 - Be sure to consider this moment.

We cannot note the essential heating of the back cover and partially the tablet screen during the use under load - it is thus you have to pay for the increased performance and a high-resolution screen. Basins mainly the left part of the case, where the mounting board with the processor and the rest of the tablet components is located. It is obvious that Retina has a noticeable effect on the temperature regime, since the decrease in the brightness of its illumination partially stabilizes the situation. It is possible that the battery has its own contribution. Name the temperature of the "burning" is impossible, but the heating is noticeably higher than in the case of iPad 2 and the more practically cold iPad 1.

NEW iPad camera (iPad 3)

The New iPad immediately has two cameras, a frontal VGA-option for communication and 5 megapixel module that first received the name of its own ISIGHT. The latter is built on the same CMOS sensor from Omnivision as iPhone 4, while absolutely new optics collected from 5 elements is used. The camera supports autofocus, focusing on the tap on the screen, defining persons in the frame and can shoot HD video as 1080p / 30 FPS with stabilization.

The quality of the 5 MPs of the ISIGHT camera images and video is high enough, which is easy to make sure to familiarize yourself with the examples of the shooting. If you are going to actively use the new iPad's photographic abilities, then be sure to try the features of the new Apple iPhoto photo editor, which can be found in the AppStore at a price of $ 4.99. In any case, the convenience of shooting using a massive 10-inch device remains under a big question, although they have a better quality chamber at hand in such a format better than not to have it at all.

Operation New iPad (iPad 3)

In each of the sections of this review, we pointed to the nuances that occurred during testing a new iPad function, so here we will simply bring brief results.

Due to the fact that the design and design of the new generation of the tablet changed not too critical, the ergonomics of the device remained at about the same level. That is, the buttons placed on the beveled sidewalls are still not too convenient to use in a pair with Smartcover Case. The only multimedia speaker is still used, although it is unlikely that someone would have abandoned stereoacoustics.

Ukraine has no operators supporting high-speed 4G LTE communication standard, so 3G is a maximum of which you can count on. The new voice input information does not work in Russian and Ukrainian, besides, it is not so functional as Siri in the iPhone 4S.

Finally, once again we note the "hot temper" New iPad, because at the moment it is not entirely clear how serious the problem with the overheating of the device is. The tablet only got into a free sale, statistics on this situation are not yet collected, but in any case, potential buyers should not lose sight of this fact.

Apple New iPad Tablet Video Review (iPad 3)

RESULTS

In NEW iPad, everything is built around the Retina display. For the sake of it had to use a powerful processor, which entailed the need to apply a more capacious battery and in turn increased the thickness, weight and heating of the new iPad. The systematic productivity of the novelty has increased slightly, autonomy has dropped a little, and the noticeable increase in 3D speeds is almost completely utilized by a new screen with ultra-high resolution. The 4G module is not relevant in Ukraine, and the improvement of the characteristics of the camera is unlikely to be ranked in the critical advantages of the New iPad.

But all these shortcomings are moving to the background before excellent image quality and the maximum level of detail the notorious Retina, which can not be provided by any of the competitors. Thus, to acquire New iPad at this stage is in the event that the visual component of the tablet dominates the list of your preferences - that is, you are a guy, avid player, photographer enthusiast or demanding web surfer. Casual topics of tablets may not even notice improve image quality improvements and for them the acquisition of a fallen iPad 2 will become uniquely more justified purchases.

iPad 3 was published in the spring of 2012. He became next after the two generations of Apple creations. He got a lot of new. Some details produced a competitor to Apple - Samsung. As a result of cooperation, we can see the third ipad. What is he, iPad 3 A1430? Product Description will make it possible to understand the possibilities of the novelties.

Characteristics 3 iPad.

This device screen is all. Apple has surpassed itself again. Improved display - improving so many components of the tablet. The novelty is equipped with an excellent display - Retina (Retina). Such a display has a high extension, color saturation and accommodates 3,100,000 pixels. This is 4 times more than that of the 2nd iPad model. Such an extension is superior to many television screens.

The display created by Retina technology has a high pixel density that allows you to hide these pixels from the human eye. The screen installed in the second model has a stronger transmission, in the third screen luminescence is more dull. But at the same time, the transfer of color is excellent, although the transmission of the White goes to warmer shades. Some users noticed that the viewing angle in the new model is slightly less than the previous one. But it is not tragic, because why look at the screen under an extreme uncomfortable angle?

Although the Diagonal of Apad remained, as before 9.7, resolution has changed from 768 * 1024 at 1536 * 2048. Accordingly, the density of pixels in an inch from 132 to 264 increased, the pixel size decreased almost twice as 96 kmk. An amazing feature is that pixels are raised and separated from signals. Therefore, the human eye is not able to distinguish them and sees a picture as a whole.

This technology allows you to take a fresh look at the image transmitted by the device. You can notice what I used to slip away from your view and see photos in more detail and clearly. The transfer of flowers is white deep and live, which never ceases to please the eyes.

A5X Dual-core processor allows you to increase 2 times with graphic programs in the tablet, in comparison with the predecessor. This allows you to exit the tablet to a new level of games and their video display. You will be comfortable from the speed and perception of images from the screen. Improved signal processing and it will allow you to reduce "braking" to not. The operational memory of the device with 512 MB has grown to 1024. At the same time, the number of cores of the graphics processor is 4.

The combination of processor power and four graphic cores allows you to display what is happening on the screen smoothly and dynamically. This is an important component for those who love game applications.

The technical characteristics of iPad 3 allow you to surf on the Internet, communicate on social networks, read, lead active work to ten o'clock. The capacity of the battery is 11,560 ma * h. The disadvantage in this situation is that for one hundred percent charging from a fully discharged battery is necessary about seven hours. This is not surprising, because the capacity of the battery is increased significantly. The screen is equipped with a oleophobic coating, so you do not need to worry about how to clean it. After all, doing it is easy.

It has a built-in camera on the 5th Megapixel Isight. The optics of this camera is created for iPhone 4S. Focuses with a touch touch. Recognizes individuals yourself, so take pictures easily. You can still record video files as HD 1080P to thirty frames per second. Works stabilization of the image during video shooting.

FaceTime VGA camera allows you to see each other even if you are hundreds of kilometers. This is available via Wi-Fi connection or using mobile communications. One touch and you see your loved ones! Shoot in good quality video and make quality photos became an integral part of modern life. Now photos of loved ones have become even better and brighter.

Wi-Fi has purchased a higher speed. He became faster twice. It is dual-band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz. It is capable of gluing the channel and therefore develops speed up to 150 megabits per second. Work on the Internet will be more pleasant and faster. In addition to Wi-Fi, iPad 3 has 4G. Which allows you to use the mobile Internet if Wi-Fi is not available, or its signal is very weak.

Apple developers have improved mobile Internet through HSDPA communication up to 21 Mbps. Added the ability to transfer data via DC-HSDPA at a speed of 42 Mbps. The third model has the ability to connect to the LTE network at an affordable speed of 73 Mbps. Of course, if the device is in the coverage area of \u200b\u200bsuch a connection.

The ability of the device to connect to a large number of networks significantly promotes the device to a new level. In the modern world, most of the active life is focused on the Internet, whether it is work or rest, communication in social networks. You can have the ability to access the network and the high transfer rate of a lot determines which technical product to buy for use.

This tablet has an ILIFE program set. Here, the new version of "Garagazband" will allow remotely to combine up to four devices simultaneously. This application allows you to play music and record songs. In another, the application you can use the removed video in order to mount the roller trailer.

The iFoto application allows you to configure it in the images. If you will touch one photo twice, then the system will find all similar images and display them on the screen. Multitouch gestures are able to improve snapshots and you can add different photo processing effects. It's so simple, just a few clicks!

In a collision with difficulties, a Siri assistant will come to the rescue. This assistant will discern not only with the search for questions, but also make a note or recall the meeting. At the same time, Siri understands not only what you say, but also what you mean.

The physical parameters have changed a bit - iPad 3 slot thicker, 9.4 mm, instead of 8.6. The weight of the new model became 50 more grams. It's not too big difference and you are quick to get used to it. Admitted access point mode - Personal Hotspot.

Used SIM card - Micro. There is only one connector for the communication chip. In order to comfortably use the device, IOS version is needed not earlier than 5.1. In order to perform operations with the tablet through the iTunes program on the PC, it is necessary to update it up to 10.6.

For the previous model, IOS 4.3 and iTunes 10.2 were enough. For comfortable work, periodically put upgrades. The assessed IOS version for iPad 3 is 9.3.5. If you put a newer version, the device will not be able to work correctly.

The model navigation is supplemented with GLONASS support (except Wi-Fi models) and IBeacons . Bluetooth version is now 4.0. HFP profile appeared and pbap , Bluetooth LE support.

CONCLUSION: Although there were some not comfortable to use moments as weight and thickness, but the new model pleases with its internal changes. The display assumes images to a new level. The processor in combination with the RAM and the graphics processor transferred the quality of graphics of video games to a new level.

With an updated camera, you can record high-quality video, take a photo and arrange vidososhons. Making communication with close more affordable. Image quality came to a new level and snapshots now to look through even more pleasant. Apple tablets have long been loved by the world, and the company never ceases to please admire fans.

In 2012, I saw the light of the new iPad (The New iPad) - a device that radically turned the idea of \u200b\u200bthe tablet. The abundance of technical innovations in its composition was made by its best-selling tablet in the world. The unique Retina display, Apple A5H gadget chip based on dual-core processor and four-core graphics, RAM gigabytes, fourth-generation Bluetooth, powerful 5 megapixel camera, able to record full-resolution video and powerful battery provided iPad New 3 deafening victory over competitors.

External features and design of the device

Externally, the device is practically no different from the previous model. With the same overall sizes of The New iPad, it has a large thickness (9.4 mm against 8.8mm from iPad 2), increased by 50 grams weight, larger camera lens size and metallic base of synchronization socket.

When a fluent inspection, it is almost impossible to distinguish one ipad from another. In order to "determine" the iPad New 3, you will have to take it on the hands - it is heavier than the predecessor due to the powerful high capacity battery. Apple's manufacturing company thus provided the entire high-tech filling of the legendary tablet.

Display

The brightest innovation of the new ipad 3 is the unique Retina LED display with a diagonal of 9.7 ". Anyone who has ever encountered a tablet, when looking at the screen of the iPad NEW 3, receives a dose of adrenaline. The display resolution is 2048x1536 (264 points per inch, which is two times higher than the capabilities of the iPad 2). This noticeably exceeds the resolution of devices to play Full HD (1920 × 1080), which allows a small screen to demonstrate clear images of striking detail. The pixels of the screen are not noticeable to the eye (from there the name Retina itself is taken), it will be perfect for those who are used to working for a long time with a tablet. These are basically lovers of bright and dynamic games, readers of exciting books, photographers and connoisseurs of Internet surfing.

The color saturation of the screen is increased by 44%, the IPS matrix provides content or video without distortion and color reproduction shifts at large screen tilt corners. The oleophooth display of the display will save it clean, automatic adjustment of the brightness of the screen makes the iPad 3 even more convenient.

Camera

The gadget chamber can safely be called a revolutionary one. The solution to install on the tablet improved full-length 5 MP ISIGHT chamber with iPhone 4 with a five-element lens made apad 3 leader among tablets. Automatic image stabilization and autofocus allows you to shoot "on the go", the backlight sensor makes it possible to photograph and shoot video with Full HD resolution (30 frames / sec.) Even with low light. The front camera of the iPad NEW 3 has a resolution of only 0.3 Mp, which is quite enough to communicate by Face Time.

Performance

Apple developers when creating a tablet focused on a chart that allows you to visually demonstrate the outstanding abilities of the Retina display. Leaving for the main work of the processor on the basis of two ARM Cortex A9 cores with a frequency of work one Gigahertz, the company's specialists aimed at work with graphics of PowerVR GPU, amplifying the possibility of "iron" by one gigabyte of RAM. As a result, Aipad 3 New demonstrates the enormous display capabilities when working with graphic, Internet applications and powerful games. Apple iPad 2 and iPad 3 speeds are almost identical; The quality of the display of graphics on the display of the latter makes it the subject of the envy of graphomans. Any games that are able to "pull" the tablet will certainly please the players of the high quality textures and the depth of drawing graphics.

Functionality

The new tablet from Apple The New iPad 3 is able to play on the Full HD video video format. To check it, you just enough.

The powerful processor allows you to almost instantly download the most difficult applications, work with graphics and video. A large amount of RAM makes it possible to keep a large number of applications without the smallest damage to performance.

Ipad 3 works with Bluetooth 4 generation, supports WiFi and broadband Internet access 3G / 4G. It is possible to use the tablet as an access point for five different devices.

Work with applications

Working with applications of the third-generation APADA has become more productive - in addition to increasing the speed of operation, specialists note an increase in their capabilities (we are talking about graphic applications, web applications and video processing programs).

Working with a browser in Apple iPad NEW is noticeably highlighted by increased content detail, fine text on the back background is easy to distinguish and readable that for a tablet with a small screen sizes is a real technological breakthrough. If a standard browser is not suitable for you, you can always use other, for example.

Powerful 5 MP camera involves working with photos and video edits capable of processing Full HD video format on the tablet. All the applications The New iPad work quickly and have a large productivity reserve.
Unusually high resolution of the Retina screen will have to taste reading lovers - due to the high definition of the image, the eye is practically not tired.

The high-tech gadget filling makes it possible to scale cards to the small detail without the danger of "brazers" and "fools".

Game lovers highly appreciate the collaboration features of the Retina display and the four-core graphics accelerator. Now even relatively old games are brightened with colorfulness and surprise the quality and depth of drawing textures. New - twice the faster immersed in their unreal atmosphere. The lack of the slightest defects of the graphics makes the tablet from Apple a real dream of each gamer-grafomanan.

For those who work with the text, the text set function is optional using voice. The disadvantages of this option is to recognize exclusively English and ignoring the program of punctuation marks.

Autonomous work

iPad 3 is considered one of the most "bodybuilding" tablets. Apple specialists not in vain increased the weight of the novelties. Despite the "voraciousness" of the chipset and the unique display Retina, the gadget is able to work offline the manufacturer's declared 10 hours. The battery of the huge tank 11666m / h. Will be able to give the user to the device three hours of games with three-dimensional graphics, more than six hours of viewing full-format films or eleven hours of exciting reading. It is noted that the indicators are strongly changed depending on the brightness of the screen illumination.

Positive and Negative Moments Apple The New iPad

From shortcomings of the gadget, you can allocate:

minor heating of the case with long-term operation with games or "hard" applications;
a large resolution of the RETINA display (2048 × 1536) implies the use of specialized content;
the iPad 3 software set copies the set of the previous model;
uselessness in our conditions of the 4G module.

The advantages of Apad 3 are:

unique high-resolution retine display;
expanded compared to previous models Possibilities of the processor (especially concerning graphics processing);
a powerful battery that allows the tablet to work offline to twelve hours.

The world Announcement Apple iPad 3 (A1430) was held on March 16, 2012, but even despite this, the first review was made about a week earlier by Vietnamese observers. The impression of Apple iPad 3 contradictory, because it seems that somewhere something like that we have already seen. And indeed, the novelty is very much reminiscent of the iPad of the last generation, up to the fact that control elements are the same in form and are located in identical design places.

In general, in the direct similarity of the novelty, there is nothing wrong, because the old model is considered the "gold standard" among tablets. However, the device must differ something and the main emphasis here was made on the technical characteristics and the price). When entering the market, Apple iPad 3 (A1430) cost about 40,000 rubles for 64 GB version, in fact, the question immediately arises: is there a device for such considerable money? Here let's look at it.

The device obtained the size of 241x186x9 mm and the weight of 650 grams. The weight of the new mobile device was very pleased with its uniform distribution, which you can't tell about many Android tablets. The camera here is installed similar to the iPhone 4S with autofocus, with good lighting removes quite well for a mobile device, but nothing to brag. The module can record video in 1080p format.

It is worth noting that the novelty is less than the brand rear panel, which does not scratch, and the quality of the materials will be a little more interesting. Now let's consider more specific specifications.

Screen

The main difference between the new Apple iPad 3 (A1430) from the predecessor is its screen, the resolution of which has increased from the traditional 1024x768 points, to a really impressive 2048x1536. Pixel density on this screen is 264 ppi. So, if you hold the device at a distance of the half meter from myself, then you will not notice any pixels.

At first glance on the application icons and on the text you will be impressed at least, because the level of detail is really amazing. In general, seeing such a screen at least once, you will probably disappear to use something else. The viewing angles, as before, at the height, the color coverage is 99% by RGB (in contrast to the precursor, where this figure was 61%).

Performance

Now even tastier - technical performance. Apple iPad 3 (A1430) works through the Apple A5X processor with a clock frequency of 1 GHz (ARM Cortex-A9 base) and the PowerVR SGX543MP4 quad-core graphic chip. The amount of RAM increased and is now 1 GB. If you compare the device with the predecessor again, then it is difficult to notice a special difference in productivity growth, because the updated characteristics are tritely "fought" by impressive screen resolution.

But here some applications really began to run a little faster and is associated with an increased operational scope. In general, the animation is fast and clear, applications are started instantly, an excellent response to touch - all this has long been the standard for Apple. Android devices do not reach their devices to such a level, at least some of some it turns out quite well, but on the background with iOS, they still look a little ridiculous and inadequate.

Battery and heating

Apple iPad 3 (A1430) received the LTE module, an impressive 4-nuclear schedule, a huge screen screen - it requires much more energy than previously required. So what did the company developers gave us? And they presented a battery for 43 W-hours, which is 70% more than the predecessor; It is about 20% more than in the 11-inch MacBook Air.

According to the Apple iPad 3 manufacturer, it is able to hold out about 10 hours through the connected Wi-Fi or 9 hours via the LTE network. In reality, Apple iPad 3 really surprised: the device has been able to work more than 12 hours when viewing video in HD format, which is really worthy of applause.

But to get something, something we lose. An increase in productivity and its energy intensity led to a long charging process. For 8 watch night, the tablet via USB has time to charge about 80-85%, which is not very pleased. It is also not worth overlooking the moment that the device has become really hot, especially at elevated loads in games.

RESULTS

The review turned out to be really short, because we did not discuss the operating system and this is why: iOS on the old iPad and the new Apple iPad 3 (A1430) is the same. The difference can only be swung in a few modified display of icons and fonts. Well, it is worth noting that purchasing this device, you will receive a closed operating system, which is nonethelessly dominant among mobile devices. IOS also offers a slightly large range of applications in his corporate store, rather than Android, even the difference is not particularly noticeable.

Of the truly impressive features of the device, it is worth highlighting its screen with a resolution of 2048x1536 points with maximum viewing angles and stunning picture quality. Looking at this screen at least once, a person is already unlikely to use any other screen, although we do not forget that competitors do not sleep.

At the same time, the price of the device remained approximately the same, and the battery life was really able to please. In other words, we have all the same old iPad, but more improved. If you compare Apple iPad 3 with competitors for Android, then the device from Apple will be a little more expensive, but really have something for what.
