How to distinguish iPad 2 from iPad 3?

2

Well, the stars aligned, and Apple again showed us all the product of its annual work. The presentation of their new tablet went as always: the press, and reporters, and reviews of accustomed critics to everything, and the misunderstanding of loyal fans "And that’s all that has changed?". This time, only the most important pirate of the space frigate from Cupertino, Steve, was absent. Even in such a short time, his unexpected and tragic death has already taken its toll on the company. And yet, how does The new iPad differ from their previous creation? Let’s figure it out.

Package

As predicted by analysts, the appearance of the device has not changed. But still, I will try to help you find the differences between the new device and everyone’s favorite iPad 2. You can immediately notice that the front of the package has undergone minor adjustments, now you can see the image of the iPad with a fresh picture on the splash screen from iOS 5. 1. Also, I would like I would like to note that the iCloud icon now flaunts on the side. Other products of the company from Cupertino received almost identical markings: an updated line of Apple laptops, as well as the iPhone 4S.

Appearance and dimensions

Apple’s tablet is now a little "fatter" in width and decently increased in weight. And if you do not pay attention to the thickness, which has increased from 8.8 to 9.4 mm, then, anyway, the increase in weight of The new iPad by 50 grams brings the tablet closer and closer to the very first iPad.

Camera

Along with the new screen, the tablet received a completely new camera, which allows it to take very good pictures, which certainly was not in the iPad 2. The vast majority of people who do not use a tablet believe that there are no people using the camera on this gadget, however Unfortunately, I have to dispel this myth. When I was in Europe, I often saw both girls and young people who took photos on their tablets. The further into the forest, the more firewood: during a recent tour of the United States, I was on a tour with a respectable elderly American, and for almost the entire trip he used his tablet as a real camera. I will not say that I agree that this activity on the previous generation tablet was very convenient, but it is worth noting that if you use the iPad to record video, he was and still is a pretty good option. The heavy weight and form factor allow you to record video without the noticeable stuttering that you see when shooting on an iPhone. The camera update has affected the hardware and software specifications of the tablet. The new 5-megapixel module allows you to record 1080p video at 30 frames per second with autofocus. The camera resources are enough for shooting outdoors, but the camera is still “noisy" in low light conditions inside buildings. It shoots text well and therefore will surely help many schoolchildren and students. Apple called the camera iSight.

Hardware stuffing

Virtually all of the hardware changes have gone into making it perform as well as the iPad 2 with four times the screen detail. The Cupertino engineers had no easy task, because the new tablet had to be entered into the same price as the previous iPad. Therefore, when you see information about how many times the performance of the tablet has increased, do not think that it has become as many times faster than the iPad 2. No, this did not happen. There is no expected performance boost, as Apple felt that screen detail would be more important than the performance boost. Well, it’s not for us to judge them.

  • CPU. Ipad 2 from The new Ipad does not differ in clock frequency (1GHz) and cores (2). It differs in that engineers installed a PowerVR SGX543MP4 quad-core graphics processor on it. 
  • RAM. Ipad 2 512MB, iPad 3 1GB. 
  • Battery. The iPad 2 has 6650mAh and the iPad 3 has 11560mAh. After the volume of the battery increased by almost 2 times, the charging time, of course, also increased a lot. It should be noted that now even after the battery indicator reaches 100%, the tablet continues to charge. Take this into account when charging before a long journey. 
  • Support for fourth generation LTE networks. This innovation will not be very relevant in Russia, since one should not rely on our operators to deploy fourth-generation networks, but it is worth noting that this is a significant step into the future from a corporation from Cupertino. 

Here, perhaps, I have listed the main differences between the current and previous generation of tablets from Apple.
