IPad Air11 Month 1st the mainland on sale first measured play "frivolous"

in video

What is the ipad for you? What is your most common function? Apple CEO Tim (Tim Cook) tried to use a video to explain the scope of the ipad's application at the Pacific Time October 22 conference. In the video, from industry to agriculture, to education and entertainment, the ipad appears in a variety of scenarios. According to Cook's description, there are now more than 480,000 applications for the ipad alone. In turn, it is precisely the market segments, various industries have different needs, the application of the ipad has become more "blossom." Also because the scope of application is more and more wide, the same size screen how the ipad can be more lightweight to become the user's most concerned about the problem. The new ipad, known as the ipad Air, is a lightweight keyword.

November 1, the WiFi version of the ipad Air will be officially on the mainland market. In addition to the first time in the United States to participate in the Apple Conference, the South is also the first time reporters to get the ipad Air real machine, and the first time in this evaluation and shopping advice.

Light, small, practical

Every time I catch a meal on the seabed, I think, if the ipad in front of you can be a little lighter, so I don't have to put it on the table or the body to operate, direct one hand holding, one hand operation on the line, as far as possible to reduce the possibility of contact with the oil.

While lying in bed watching the video, the full-size ipad compared to the ipad Mini, the big screen brings a relatively heavy fuselage, a movie reading, hands are hard. This is evident on the third and fourth-generation ipad. With the addition of retina screens and 4G features, the two-generation ipad is significantly heavier than the older iPad2.

This is my reason to pursue a lighter ipad, and I believe every ipad or prospective ipad user has their own reasons. But to be sure, the lighter the thinner nature is the better.

At the press conference, Apple was accustomed to using data to describe the progress of a new generation of products over the previous generation, and the ipad Air was no exception-its weight dropped from 1.9 pounds in the ipad 4 era to 1 pounds, nearly half. The thickness also dropped from 9.4 mm to 7.5 mm, a thin 20%, and the border was nearly 43%.

With the IPad air in hand, I can clearly feel the light, the weight of the body is significantly lower than iPad2, even if my three-year-old child holding also said "not laborious." As for the size of the changes, the ipad Air alone will not be too obvious feeling, but to take the old ipad as a reference is very obvious.

As for the overall design of the fuselage, it can be said to move closer to the ipad Mini, both of which look like "dolls", but in different sizes. At present, Apple has not officially announced the new ipad Mini sales time, so the temporary failure to have more specific information.

No touch ID, a matter of opinion

It's also about the size of the fuselage, but I'm more inclined to put the thickness of the ipad Air on this part because Apple also has a big battery in the 7.5-millimeter fuselage that keeps the ipad Air alive for more than 10 hours. It is worth noting that there is also a need to consider the increase in energy consumption resulting from new A7 processors and iOS7 systems.

But like IPhone5S, Apple also has a M7 coprocessor for the ipad Air, which can effectively reduce the frequency of A7 processors to achieve energy efficiency.

In addition to processor differences, the IPad air is still equipped with a 9.7-inch 2048x1536 resolution screen, a 5 million-pixel back-camera, 16GB to 128GB storage space. There is no difference between these and the products of the ancestors. Apple, however, insists that the ipad Air WiFi feature is more senior. But Chingnan is actually testing that the difference between the ipad 2 and the ipad Air is not obvious when connecting a two-wall WiFi router.

As with iphone5s, there is no real ipad app that really matches the A7 64-bit processor, so I can't completely use the app to determine how much the ipad Air is going to improve over the previous generation. The only more suitable application is the game "Endless Sword 3", from the opening speed and fluency level, compared to the fourth generation of the ipad slightly better, but not very obvious.

Many people are disappointed that they do not have the same Touch ID fingerprint recognition function as iphone5s. But people who actually use the ipad know that the ipad does not unlock as much as the iphone, compared to frequently removed and unlocked phones. and Touch ID at present to pay protection role is not very common, instead of using more is unlocked, so the impact is not big.

The biggest opponent is the ipad Mini.

November 1, the IPad Air will be officially sold in China, the current official version of silver, Space gray. There is no iphone5s popular "tyrants Gold" version. For this kind of setting, the anecdotal is also "a matter of opinion". Supporters believe that the golden ipad will also be the focus of the chase. But opponents point out that holding such a large piece of golden things to walk on the road, in fact, is not beautiful.

It is understood that the first listed ipad only WiFi version, divided into 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128G, the price is 3588 yuan, 4288 yuan, 4988 yuan and 5688 yuan. Take the Chinese market as an example, I can clearly feel that compared with the iphone, consumers will be more rational view of the ipad, so all kinds of "crazy Rob", "bidding" behavior should not be as obvious as the iphone5s on the market.

As for the purchase proposal, the IPad air is definitely a very good product, at least in the current tablet computer unmatched. But it is worth noting that Apple also released the new ipad Mini, configured to be flat with the ipad Air, but with a different screen size. As a result, the ipad Air and the ipad mini are taking a thin line, and there is a good chance of a confrontation. So if you want to make a choice in two products, including the author himself is also somewhat confused. In response, the Apple product manager's opinion is "buy both, and use different screen sizes to respond to different usage requirements." "But it needs to be more budget, and not everyone is willing to bear it."
