IPad3 will be released soon, online price transfer, IPD2 price reduction 50 $ new function speculation

From the development track of the iPhone, it is not difficult to see Apple's product strategy: after each revolutionary product is released, it must be followed by the release of enhanced products (minor changes), and then the next generation of products (major changes, at the same time, it improves its appearance and functions ). If iPad2 is an enhanced product of iPad1, iPad3 is a real revolution. Then, iPad3 may have

From the development track of the iPhone, it is not difficult to see Apple's product strategy: after each revolutionary product is released, it must be followed by the release of enhanced products (minor changes), and then the next generation of products (major changes, at the same time, it improves its appearance and functions ). If iPad2 is an enhanced product of iPad1, iPad3 is a real revolution.

What are the features of iPad3? The domestic and foreign media have done a lot of speculation and reports, and the author combined these speculation, coupled with their own observations, re-arranged more than 10 of the most likely innovations.

1. About display

1. Retina screen

Credibility: 70%

In iPhone 4, Apple uses a retina display to improve the display quality of the screen. When iPad2 was released, it was predicted that Apple would adopt a retina display in iPad2, but this is not the case.

Some analysts believe that Apple did not use the Retina LCD in iPad2, mainly because Apple has technical problems in solving the large screen resolution of the iPad. However, when Apple releases iPad 3, the screen resolution problem should be solved, and iPad 3 users will be able to have a better image experience.

The author believes that a large Retina screen will inevitably cause a significant increase in costs, and it will be followed by a further increase in the technical requirements for image processing, I think Apple will keep the price of iPad3 consistent with that of iPad2, so it will not do this kind of self-reducing profit. In addition, compared to the large screen, the Retina screen effect is not so obvious. After all, the human eye is not as close to the tablet as the mobile phone.

2. 3D display

Credibility: 30%

Currently, 3D display technology is in full swing. Fuji cameras, sharp mobile phones, and Nintendo game consoles are all playing 3D technology. Will iPad3 be used? I think it is unlikely that 3D technology is a big stunt, but it is just a stunt. Because the current 3D display technology is still too immature, it may face the following problems: you need to wear heavy frame glasses; the screen brightness is seriously insufficient; make the players dizzy ...... These companies that place so much emphasis on user experience on apple are certainly not allowed. Therefore, iPad3 must be displayed in 2D mode unless Apple develops an epoch 3D display technology.

3. Change the display size

Credibility: 50%

Steve Jobs once said in public that he does not like 7 inch or smaller sizes. Although Steve Jobs may change when he is absent, iPad3 should still be a product under Joe's leadership, it should not be other dimensions. In terms of display ratio, Apple, which focuses on multimedia and advanced awareness, uses a 4-3 ratio on the iPad. This may be just for reading purposes. If iPad3 deviates from this design focus, it is not ruled out that a screen with a ratio of 16 to 9 or other will be designed. Another point is whether the border of the iPad is a little wide ...... The user's voice is already high, and I want to improve it in three generations.

In addition, there is a concept map of transparent screens circulating on the Internet. Everyone's imagination is wonderful, but now technology does not seem to allow it, so it can only be imagined, the latter may have to wait until the iPad5-iPad9 is implemented.

2. Connection and scalability

4. Integrate the Thunderbolt Interface

Credibility: 20%

Apple's new MacBookPros has a Thunderbolt interface that enables high-speed connections to power supplies, videos, and data through a connector. Apple is expected to integrate the Thunderbolt interface in iPad 3.

I believe that although some technologies of Apple products will be used in tandem, the difference between Mac and other mobile digital devices is still obvious, while Thunderbolt is obviously designed for Mac, in addition, the iPad product does not have the need to transmit such a large amount of data, so this is very unreliable.

5. Integrated Card Reader

Credibility 10%

If you think of this function, you must have used more equipment in the cottage. This kind of thing that violates Apple's spirit of not sharing will certainly not happen. The reason for 10% credibility is that Apple will not rule out its own mobile memory card, and then there will be such an interface that can connect to its own memory card, but it must be transmitted only through software such as iTunes (only files allowed by Apple can be transmitted ).

6. Wireless charging

Credibility: 50%

Regardless of iPad or iPhone, Apple has been trying to put aside connection lines from the launch of wireless features such as Airplay and wireless synchronization, and the recently released iOS5 has achieved wireless synchronization, so apart from charging, apple devices almost do not need to use cables to connect to them. Therefore, how to put this line aside must be regarded by Apple as the design focus. Wireless charging has already been realized in technology, but the charging current is weak, it may be difficult to deal with the high 1A current required for iPad charging. Therefore, the addition of this function depends on whether Apple can overcome this challenge.

7. Bluetooth 4.0

Reliability: 99%

Many foreign media have speculated that iPhone 4S will join "NFC", but apple is reluctant to follow the same path as Android. For example, Android supports FLASH and HTML5, this time, Apple chooses NFC for Android and then Bluetooth 4.0. This has been verified on the iPhone 4S and will obviously continue to be used on ipad3.

Foreign media: For a long time, it has been widely reported that Apple will add Near-Field Communication (NFC) functionality to mobile devices. The biggest new feature of iPhone 5 is electronic wallet. Techradar believes that this technology should also be included in iPad 3. Although few users make payments through the iPad, many enterprises can convert the iPad to a digital cash register device through NFC, other applications of this technology include ticketing and office access.

3. Multimedia and buttons

8. Cancel the HOME Key.

Reliability: 30%

From iOS update to 5, more gestures and controllers are added. We can see that the role of the entity buttons can be fully implemented by the touch control. Therefore, the entity buttons are removed by Apple, which is good at simplifying the design, it's not impossible. However, in order to maintain the consistency of the product design and avoid some situations where the touch screen crashes, I think the HOME key remains necessary, but it may exist in another form.

9. Better stereo speakers

Reliability: 40%

For games, music, and videos, the weakness of iPad is music. Since the iPad uses a built-in speaker, its audio experience is not ideal. If a speaker is added to the iPad 3, the media playback effect will be more satisfactory. In particular, HTC recently acquired the MONSTER headset department and opened a brand new music API for developers. I would like to give Apple some inspiration.

However, as far as I know about the speaker and audio system, the sound quality and volume are directly proportional to the speaker's caliber. If Apple still focuses on the size and volume, this improvement is unlikely to be achieved. It is possible to enhance the driving force of headphones. However, many people do not know that the audio chips used by Apple iPhone and iPad are already professional, the upgrade space is not large.

10. Camera Enhancement

Reliability: 90%

From the perspective of iPhone 4S updates, whether users or apple are still very concerned about the quality of the small camera, even the author does not like to use DC but love to use the iPhone to take photos, the improvement in camera quality will certainly be very popular. No matter what the actual meaning is, the head is too big, so this camera will certainly support P Full HD video.

One more thing

Siri Speech Recognition

Reliability: 99%

The Siri Speech Recognition Feature was launched in iPhone 4S, which aroused a strong response!

In short, the above is just a variety of conjecture about network rumors. It may be announced in May March 8, so stay tuned.
