IPad Air 2 as new. The mobile device screen is characterized by its technology, resolution, pixel density, diagonal length, color depth, etc.

Today we will talk about the most interesting characteristic that you can find in the iPad is the size of its screen, the most impressive in these tablets.

For all the time, Apple has released a lot of gadgets and now it's time to summarize small results. I will talk about the diagonal of the screen of each of the ipad.

What is the diagonal of the screen from the iPad?

Tablets are those devices when the display size really matters. Let's take a look at the first iPad, which happened with Apple gadgets.

Screen size iPad, iPad 2,3,4

The very first ipad began to be sold in distant 2010. As soon as the first tablet appeared, it was immediately clear who would be a favorite in the coming years.

The design of these four models has almost never changed and you will not find those chips that allocated tablets. Almost everyone would like them.

iPad:
iPad 2: 9.7 inches, IPS LCD, resolution 1024 × 768, 132 PPI;
iPad 3:
iPad 4:

Regardless of the model, the picture quality has always been very elegant. But the technology does not stand still and in the last two generations of this series has appeared a long-awaited Retina.

Screen size iPad Air, iPad Air 2

The continuation was very interesting, because they drastically changed the case and new colors appeared. The frames have decreased dramatically, but the display size is preserved for the same.

More compact sizes of devices made these ipads more attractive and modern. The new IGZO technology brought the screens to a new level.

iPad Air: 9.7 inches, Retina, resolution 2048 × 1536, 264 PPI;
ipad Air 2: 9.7 inches, Retina, resolution 2048 × 1536, 264 PPI.

Everything else remains the same, and the aforementioned technology has reduced the response time to pressing and power consumption.

IPad MINI screen diagonal, iPad mini 2,3,4

It's time to talk about tablets, which are very close to today's standards of top smartphones. Manufacturers have already suspended a bit with the size of the screens and this is for the better.

Mini version of the ipad is very popular for today and many very comfortable to wear such a baby absolutely everywhere. Its possibilities are almost not inferior to other models.

iPad mini: 7.9 inches, IPS, resolution 1024 × 768, 163 PPI;
ipad mini 2:
ipad mini 3: 7.9 inches, Retina, resolution 2048 × 1536, 326 PPI;
iPad mini 4: 7.9 inches, Retina, resolution 2048 × 1536, 326 PPI.

Despite the smaller display sizes, the quality is not inferior to large models. The resolution is exactly the same, but the number of points per inch is more.

IPad Pro Screen Diagonal

The last two models were simply excellent and one of them was especially separated. The dimensions of one of the ipads are simply impressive.

Externally, two representatives of the series about very identical. Therefore, people are already taken on their intended purpose, because the whole mini television in hand can not always come in handy.

iPad about: 9.7 inches, Retina, resolution 2732 × 2048, 264 PPI;
iPad about: 12.9 inches, Retina, resolution 2732 × 2048, 264 PPI;.

While these these two models have become the most impressive, both in terms of performance and quality pictures. New anti-reflective coating, makes work in the sun even more comfortable.

RESULTS

Here in principle, and all that I wanted to tell about the size of the screens of all the ipads and their diagonals. For a long time, Apple has not released anything new, it is interesting to see the following generations.

Although judging by productivity, probably another year or two and the pro should cope with all the tasks and not only.

Apple iPad Air 2 has become more subtle, quick, appeared in gold and acquired a fingerprint scan function. Android and Windows lovers can criticize the iPhone for a number of reasons, and many of them really have a place to be, but when it comes to the tablet, it is difficult to blame Apple in shortcomings.

Well, very thin tablet, new Apple iPad Air 2 - Overview

Apple iPad Air 2 - Reviews

No matter what functions you want to see in your new device, buying a new Apple tablet model, you will be satisfied with the design, quality of assembly, convenience of controlling interface, camera quality and work speed. The only area where Apple may not arrange consumers is the price that the iPad begins with $ 500 and gradually increases.

New Apple iPad Air 2

If the first four iPad tablets were made similar to people who follow their figure, they would be similar to the iPad Air. If they were made for people participating in the missile program, they would be similar to iPad Air 2.

IN iPad models AIR 2 (or iPad 6, if you are so convenient) Apple has fulfilled its promises and made a "air tablet". You will not be able to find the tablet thinner. Compared to the previous Apple tablet, the new has become even thinner and easier. In this connection, I began to look more beautiful.

Apple iPad Air 2

If you thought that the iPad Air 2013 inside was slightly "air" - you were right: the liquid crystal screen was located at a distance from the housing, and as a result of which there really was a small space inside. This year, Apple coped with this task. All components of the new gadget are squeezed into an unimaginable small space. Using the iPad Air 2 is undoubtedly pleasure and it makes us think about - why do we love the miniature iPad tablets so much?

Thanks to a slim building, a high-resolution liquid crystal display, a new iPad is more similar to a bright, colorful, moving magazine than a tablet. This screen just fascinates and will not allow you to stay indifferent.

Still thinner

Apple claims that he left its standard 10-hour battery charge (and it seems to have place).

We say goodbye to Mute / Rotation switches, which were an integral part of all iPhone and iPad. This switch was useful for quickly accessing the screen and sound, and even several devices on Android and Windows are released with such a switch. Fortunately, now you can block the screen rotation in the control center, which you choose, spending your finger at the bottom of the screen. This, of course, is not so fun, as it was before (clicking the shutdown button), but it is done for convenience in work.

New Apple iPad Air 2

Since sound playback quality dropped (again), it happened quite logical reduction of audio playback, but the audio quality will be good if you transfer it to Bluetooth.

So if you want to listen qualitative soundYou probably need wireless columns or headphones. If you compare the sound of the iPad Air with other tablets, the iPad Air will be ahead, but I could not get around your predecessors yet.

But this is not all changes. Ipad Air 2 acquired a quirky touch sensor fingerprint ID. We will return to this a little later.

iPad Air 2 Characteristics

We are simply obliged to note that the new Apple iPad Air 2 is equipped with a faster processor than ipad mini. 3 or iPad Air. The new 64-bit A8X Apple chip does the iPad Air 2 more powerful. Although it has become more subtle than, for example, iPhone 6 or iPad Mini 3. The test in 3D MARK has shown that the performance of the new iPad Air 2 is higher than that of the iPad Air is 25 percent.

Do these high points mean? Not really. For most people, the new iPad Air 2 will be comfortable. In it, just like in his predecessor will be the opportunity to play games of good quality and use all the programs that you are accustomed.

The only main problem is inner memory Device. Instead of 16 GB. You get only 10 - active. Apple did not allow this problem - did not raise the number of active memory. It is sad, as buyers have to upload an additional $ 100 to buy a 64 GB memory version. And we strongly recommend that you pay extra for this version, otherwise you can quickly exhaust the memory of the tablet or in the future you do not have enough memory to install more than fresh software (for example, iOS 9 weighing 7 GB a year).

iOS 8.1 and you can use Apple Pay

New software ensuring iOS. 8 - Upgraded Update of last year's iOS 7, and iOS 8.1 - even more new updates of the previous one.

With the release of the new software, a payment system has appeared - Apple Pay.. With this system, the owners will have a unique opportunity to easily and just pay for the goods in online stores. You make your data into the device, connect to the attachment security identification system. Then you can use this payment system.

As always, we should note that applications on Apple tablets are better than on android tablets and Windows. The reason is that Apple is demanding of the creation of applications that would be optimized both for the phone and for tablets. IN app Store. About 675.000 available applications. For Android, there is also a large number of applications, but minus is that not all of them are optimized for tablets.

iPad Air 2 photos and improved camera

Ipad Air 2 wants to note that the camera is very good quality. Perhaps there is no other such a large tablet that boasts such good pictures like the new Apple company.

AIR 2 has an improved camera on 8 megapixels, it is largely similar to the camera in the iPhone 6. Thanks to the additional megapixels on the iPad Air 2 photos, they are more saturated and bright. Even if there is not enough illumination, it will not greatly affect the quality of the pictures. The new camera allows you to shoot a more slow motion and adjust the surveys of the shooting. The front camera is 1.2 - megapixel, it is quite enough for videocams or selfie.

Should I buy an iPad Air or Air 2?

Apple still sells last year's iPad AIR with a discount of $ 100, which leads to a big question: is it worth buying it? We believe that there should not be any oscillations - it must be taken if you want to purchase an inexpensive iPad. In fact, regardless of which model you want to buy, we recommend not to skip and pay a little more by purchasing version 64 or 32 GB.

As for the rest? Single addition At Apple iPad Air 2 is a more powerful processor, the presence of a gold-colored model, an identification sensor of the touch (you do not need it, honestly). Are these modernizes cost $ 100?

If you are looking for a competitor for Android, then the best is samsung Galaxy Tab. S S. new Commonwealth Google 9. There is, of course, tablets for a lower price, but if you buy them - there is a high probability that in the future you will have to regret buying.

Let's summarize

Apple iPad Air 2 is a worthy tablet from the iPad line. He acquired a number of improvements compared to the predecessor. AIR 2 approached as close as possible to the vision of Steve Jobs about the perfect iPad.

The new iPad Air 2 is a fantastic tablet that overshadows all other devices similar to it by parameters.

Of course, the scarce 16 GB lacks in Air 2, but even with such an indicator of the built-in memory, it overshadow all competitors.

iPad Air 2 will be the leader in its segment, at least until next year.

Apple iPad Air 2 - Video Overview

In this article we will discuss one of the most important features of the iPad - the screen diagonal. This is the most impressive tablet detail, immediately rushing into the eyes. During its existence, the "apple" company issued a lot of models of this device. And they all go with different sizes of displays. Let's see how gadgets changed this criterion for many years. And let's start a review from the very first Linek - Apad 1, 2 and so on.

The tablenik is the type of device, the size of the diagonal of the display of which is of great importance. The first generation, published 7 years ago, was already in standard variantForeigning for many years. The considered parameter in gadgets did not change until the 4th generation, although something new to other screen characteristics was added:

the iPad 1 had a diagonal of 9.7 inches (in iPad 2 diagonal left the same as in iPad 3 and iPad 4), with a resolution of 1024 × 768, 132 PPI.
iPad 2 is the same parameters in inches, completely the same resolution and density of pixels.
iPad 3 - 100% increased resolution than the first and second line of devices, similarly and with pixel density.
iPad 4 - all the same as the predecessor.

But regardless of the model, the picture on the display of Apple's tablets has always been excellent. But technology develops continuously and the gadgets of the line 3, and 4 received the Retina display .

In the four, the screen resolution and the pixel density parameter were also increased. This made it possible to make an image similar to a picture of a glossy magazine. Pixels are not visible perfectly that gives realism. The developer made 100% the correct choice by introducing this technology. Among the 10-inch tablets, this device is considered the best. The only drawback is the lack of a coating with an anti-block. This minus on the forums was marked by many users.

The IPS matrix element included in the Linek Models 1 to 4 gives the color gamut of maximum naturalism and provides maximum viewing angles. Its quality is particularly seen in the process of comparing with previous displays. The capacitive sensor was also improved. In addition, a warmer color gamma was added and improved image detail.

Ipad Air Display Dimensions, iPad Air 2

Further development of the tablet was very interesting. The housing was radically improved, new shades appeared. The frames were significantly reduced, but the dimensions of the displays remained the same (both in the fourth and other iPad).

The more compact dimensions of the iPad Air tablet line brought them to a higher level, made stylish and modern.

Characteristics of Device Displays Models Ayr:

iPad Air - 9.7 inches, Retina, 2048 × 1536, 264 PPI resolution.
iPad Air 2 is the same parameters as the first "air" tablet.

As you can see, everything is still left. Interest represents only Retina - technology. Thanks to her, the response period to the display and energy consumption has declined significantly.

Parameters of screens iPad mini, iPad mini 2-4

It is time to illuminate tablets close to modern standards of top devices. The developer has suspended a little with the size of the displays and this innovation for the better.

The mini version was widespread and fell in love with many users. After all, wearing such a gadget with you very comfortable, and its functionality is not inferior to ordinary model glasses:

iPad mini - 7.9 inches, with a resolution of 1024 × 768, pixel density 163 PPI.
iPad mini 2 - diagonal is the same, but increased per 100% resolution and pixel density parameter.
iPad mini 3 - absolutely the same indicators as in the second variation of mini.
iPad mini 4 - exactly the same as versions 2 and 3.

As can be seen from the above characteristics, the diagonals of the devices mini are not at all such as in 4 iPad and other standard versions. They are significantly less. The resolution parameter is similar, and the number of points is more than 1 inch.

Tablets ruler pro.

According to the "appearance", two variations of the gadget of this line are almost identical. Therefore, users are chosen here on the functionality, because not everyone needs a TV for constant socks with you:

Pro Variation 1 - 9.7 inches, Retina, resolution 2732 × 2048, 264 PPI.
Pro variation 2 - 12.9 inches, completely the same remaining parameters.

Today, these two models are the best, both in terms of image quality, and in terms of performance. The newest coating with an anti-glare makes the work in the sun comfortable.

Above was given historical reference Regarding the development of tablets from the "apple" company on the criterion of the display size. I wonder how the iPad will develop in the future, but you can only guess about it. But, judging by productivity. Almost least of year 2 - 3, Pro will be at the height and satisfy the needs of the most demanding users.

And since the subject of our today's conversation is the second line, then consider in detail the other characteristics of this line of tablets.

Ipad 2 design

No revolution from the exits of the second generation of devices did not happen. The consumers appeared all the same product in minimalist style, very neat, made of glass and aluminum materials. You can not love the devices from Apple, but not recognize that they are worthy of quality, it is impossible. By design, they are a few steps ahead of the similar gadgets of competitors. Suppose they will not put plastic products from them Samsung Tab. Or Motorola Xoom, consisting of individual elements collected together. If there are doubts about this account, just turn the "apple" tablet in your hands, and immediately feel the difference.

The rear part remained the same "unhappy." It is made of metal, not subject to the occurrence of scratches. The panel now has become almost flat - narrows only towards the end part. The first line of tablets did not have this.

"Two" significantly thinner than its predecessor (and even iPhone 4). It seems to seems to be even scattered as a piece of paper. Such an effect is created due to the same narrowing to the ends. In it, the developer applied the same designer idea as in MacBook Air, in which the minimum thickness parameters are only 3rd millimeters.

The tablet even dropped a little weight. True, only 6 grams compared to predecessors, but still this is a positive result. However, at that time, on this criterion, the iPad 2 was awarded a competitor from the Korean firm - Galaxy, who was less than 7 grams. In this case, it has been made of plastic, which does not add prices to it.

Package iPad 2.

Here everything is standard and predictable, nothing new. In a box with a second tablet, except the device itself, the user found:

charger;
uSB cord;
documentation;
apple symbols brochures and stickers.

The "apple" company, as always, has not changed the principles of minimalism. In a rather big one, the box did not place anything remarkable from accessories. By the way, the adapter goes for American outlet. So, you want or not, and the adapter will have to come.

Battery of the second tablet

The period of operation without additional recharging the devices of the second line is the same 10-12 hours. The same was the starting product of this type. And this is all with active operation using wireless elements, when brings up filmolics and listener of musical tracks.

All this is impressive, given that we are talking about a device with a battery in nine cells. According to these criteria, Apple's tablet has no competitors to this time. Close gadgets from other firms operating on Android are about 6 hours work without recharging. It is especially pleased that the long period of autonomously work was preserved with a significant decrease in the thickness of the case.

And a little more about the display ...

This element has already been proud of the company in the very first tablet. At that time, he was the best quality - there was nothing like competitors. In the second generation tablet, everything is still preserved. Many fans of "apple" products expected to see Retina-technology in it, that is, an increased resolution increased by 400%. But for such parameters, the device did not have enough power of the processor and the graphic element. In other words, a miracle did not happen. And if it happened, the starting cost of the gadget would take off at least 50%.

But such a display became one of the best brightness parameters, permission and efficiency of touch response. No wonder any devices with a sensory mechanism are customary to compare with iPhones and Apada, because the latter is not equal.

However, more substantial distinctive moments compared to previous version and competitors are also present. For example, thanks to the oleophobic layer, the display is not brand. To blur with its touch is very difficult. And if some kind of dirt suddenly appeared, it is easy to remove it. The devices of the first line and tablets of competitors to users have to be cleaned constantly.

Return increased in many directions - when surfing on the network, when working with graphic elements. Separately, it is worth mentioning an increase in memory on board a second tablet to 512 megabytes. Of course, today this indicator will seem ridiculous, and at that time he called enthusiasm.

Operation in this lineup of tablets, compared with the previous one, also walked more improved. She was an order of magnitude higher. Accordingly, the functionality has expanded, and the work has become more shrous.

All teams tablet performs great. This applies to the interface, a browser, the lack of hanging and braking programs, vividly playing video.

I hold in the hands of the iPad Air 2. and looking for reasons to change the favorite tablet, which is increasingly staying at home, to a new budget novelty.

It is positioned by its continuation. But there is practically no meaning in replacement.

IPad 2017 design is two or even three steps ago

Apple has updated the Assortment of Apple Store, adding an iPhone 7 virtual store shelves, iPhone SE with enlarged and budget iPad, very unexpected.

Therefore, while working on the first glance on the fresh tablet of the company, I did not immediately notice the changes in the design of the device.

I was sure that the company offers us all the same iPad Air 2 with a new filling. But it turned out to be wrong. In fact - she wants to transplant us on something average between the first and second iPad Air. I'll explain now.

iPad 2017 thicker iPad Air 2 by 20%. In 2013, Apple made another revolution on the tablet market, releaseing a super-compact solution, the thickness of which at that time was associated with a simple pencil - 7.5 mm.

But in 2014, the manufacturer made the device even thinner, having reduced its thickness to a record 6.1 mm. And the company has left the same building for 9.7-inch iPad Pro in 2016.

And today we make a step back, returning to 7.5 mm.

When saving time autonomous work And most of the other features replacing the iPad Air 2 on the iPad 2017 does not look justified because of this.

iPad 2017 did not receive a switch from iPad Air. On the left side face of each iPhone today there is still a switch of a silent mode, which Apple does not remove in favor of tradition.

And this is the right step, because the use of the physical element, to activate which you do not need to unlock the smartphone, very convenient.

Previously, exactly the same lever was in the iPad. But with the release of iPad Air 2, it was removed due to a small thickness of the tablet. After that, I realized the difference between the physical switch and the control point item, which is uncomfortable.

It is very strange that when I return to the dimensions of the iPad AIR, in which there was a lever, Apple decided not to return it.

And together with an enlarged thickness it's two simple marketing Chag.In order not to distract attention from the iPad Pro, which is in another price range.

Minimum increase in tablet performance

We live in 2017. At the same time, Apple establishes in a new iPad processor A9 from 2015. Of course, he wins at A8x from the end of 2014, but slightly. And in comparison with A9X and especially the A10 does not go. And will not be comparable with A10X or A11 from the word at all.

Considering quiet Announcement of the budget iPad in the spring of 2017, I assume that new iPad Pro will be released in the middle of the autumn - after the release new iPhone.that will work on the basis of the A11 processor.

At the same time, I doubt that Apple will install the A11x processors in the iPad Pro 2017. Then it will be too big jump in comparison with the first generation peksthat work on A9X.

I think it is worth counting on a10x or a11. Their performance we suggested on the basis of GEEKBENCH 3 benchmark growth dynamics, whose data was clarified into one group diagram.

And on this schedule it is clearly seen that against the background of the top performance, to which the developers of modern games and multifunctional applications will be equal at the end of 2017, A8X and A9 look equally bad.

It turns out, changing sewing on soap there is no point, so?

I do not see a single reason to pay extra\u003e 15 thousand rubles.

iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi by 128 GB in good condition on our Flea market Today it is offered for almost 15 thousand rubles. At the same time, the iPad 2017 costs 32 thousand rubles in the same configuration.

It turns out, when replacing the iPad Air 2, which wins in thickness and almost does not lose in performance, will have to pay almost 17 thousand rubles. or more than 50% of the selling cost.

At the same time, the iPad 2017 will not offer any new emotions - he did not even returned the volume lever. And already silent about apple support Pencil or Smart Keyboard, which would help to think about buying.

Eventually Today I do not see the point of changing the iPad Air 2 on the iPad 2017.

However, the owners of the iPad 2, 3, 4 or even the first generation iPad Air, which do not want to spend too many funds, still it is worth thinking about buying.

Perhaps will appreciate. But the remains of iPad Air 2 can search and the remnants of the iPad Air 2 in a gray retail or on the secondary market - it will also receive even more emotions.
