In developing the successor iPad 2 Apple had - certainly to his displeasure - to compromise and a few tenths of a millimeter increased thickness of the tablet. During the performance he could not wield his favorite adjective "thinner". All this has now made up with iPad Air, which is thinner, lighter, smaller and probably approaching ideal as a Apple tablet from the beginning of his imagined ...
When he was introduced before the first iPad mini, Apple might not expect to reap massive with a smaller version of its tablet success. Interest in the iPad mini was so great that greatly overshadowed its bigger brother, and Apple with badly needed to do something. One of the reasons is that the larger tablet has a larger margin.
If it is, then the answer to the current state of apple tablet iPad Air, then Apple really distinguished himself. Customers say it offers greater device to exactly what I love so much in the iPad mini, and virtually the user can now choose from two identical models that differ only screen size. The second important factor is the weight naturally.
We are constantly talking about the tablets replace computers that occurs the so-called post-PC era. It seems there really is, but so far only a few can from your computer completely free himself and for all activities using only tablet. If, however, any such equipment as much as possible to replace the computer, it is the iPad Air - amazing combination of speed, great design and a modern system, which still has its quirks.
Design
iPad Air marks the second significant design change from the first iPad, which came out in 2010. Apple bet on a proven design for the iPad mini and iPad Air and its smaller version perfectly replicates. Larger and smaller versions apart at a distance practically not recognize, unlike previous versions now differs actually only display sizes.
Significant decrease in the size of Apple achieved mainly by reducing the size of the edges around the screen. Therefore, the iPad Air in width by more than 15 mm lower than its predecessor. Perhaps an even greater advantage of the iPad Air but its weight, Apple had managed in a single year to reduce the weight of your tablet by as much as 184 grams, and it was in his hand really feel. For it can to change by 1.9 millimeter thinner body, which is another masterpiece apple engineers who, despite "drastic" decrease could keep iPad Air at the same level as the previous model, what other parameters are concerned.
Changes in the size and weight have a positive impact on the actual use of the tablet. Older generations in hand for some time and were heavy primarily in one hand were inappropriate. iPad Air is much easier to hold and moreover it does not hurt after a few minutes of hand. However, the edges are still quite sharp and need to find the ideal posture, so that the edges into the hands of scrapes.
Hardware
Most would be when such changes usually worried about the battery and the battery life, but even here Apple conjured. Air to the iPad, although hidden by almost a quarter smaller, less powerful battery 32watthodinovou Two-section (4 iPad possessed 43watthodinovou-cell battery), but in combination with other new components back guarantee up to ten stamina. In our tests, it was confirmed that the iPad Air really lasts at least what his predecessors. On the other hand often have far exceeded the indicated times. To be a little specific, fully loaded iPad Air during normal use such as taking notes and surfing the internet for three days of emergency gives 60 percent and 7 hours of usage, which is very pleasant discovery.
"Apple conjured up the battery and still guarantees a minimum of 10 hours of battery life."
The greatest enemy of battery is the display, which remains the same in the iPad Air, a 9.7 "Retina display with resolution of 2048 × 1536 pixels. Its 264 pixels per inch longer, although not the highest number in its field (more now has a new iPad mini), but remains a Retina display iPad Air high standard and that Apple has no need to hurry. There is speculation that Apple first used IGZO display from Sharp, but it is not on unconfirmed information. Either way, managed to reduce the number of podvsětlovacích LEDs to less than half, which both conserve energy and also the weight.
After the battery and the display is the third most important part of the new tablet processor. Apple iPad planted Air Self-A7 64-bit processor, which was first introduced in the iPhone 5S, but on the tablet it can so-called "squeeze out" a little more. The iPad Air A7 chip is clocked at a slightly higher frequency (around 1.4 GHz, which is about 100 MHz more than the chip used in the iPhone 5s). That's what Apple could allow for more space inside the chassis, and a larger battery that can handle such processor power. The result is clear - iPad Air A7 processor is incredibly fast and also very powerful.
According to Apple, the increase in performance over previous generations doubled. Already on paper this number amaze, but the important thing is that it works in practice. Speed Air iPad really feel as soon as you take it in your hand. Everything opens quickly and smoothly, without waiting. As far as performance, yet practically no application that the new iPad Air properly tested. This is Apple with its 64-bit architecture and a souped-up processor somewhat ahead of its time, so we can only look forward to, as developers take advantage of new iron. But definitely not just some idle talk, go to the iPad Air and iPad owners will know the fourth generation. Currently new iron examine primarily known game Infinity Blade III and we can only hope that the game developers in the coming weeks will offer similar titles.
Like the iPhone 5S iPad also got motion coprocessor Air M7, which will serve various fitness applications that record movement, because its activity is only slightly to extract the battery. If, however, there are few applications that make use of iPad Air power, then there are even fewer applications using coprocessor M7, although gradually increasing, so the need to find support for the new RunKeeper. Finally, it is therefore too early. In addition, Apple has not quite managed to properly treat the transmission of information about the availability of this coprocessor for developers. Recently released by Nike + Move the iPad Air reports that the device does not have a coprocessor.
"Speed Air iPad feel as soon as you take it in your hand."
Unlike the interior, few changes took place on the exterior. Surprisingly perhaps, remains on the back iPad Air five-megapixel camera, and so the tablet can not afford such a feature slow-motion offered by the new optics in the iPhone 5S. If we take into account how users are increasingly also their iPads, and Apple, it must be very well aware it's a bit baffling, but in Cupertino and have a trump card for the next generation. Improved was at least a front camera, with better shooting in low-light conditions, recording high resolution and dual microphones are better FaceTime calls. As expected, the iPad Air also has two stereo speakers. You are indeed louder and not so simply puts his hand over them both, but when using the tablet in landscape perfect stereo listening does not guarantee everything is at the moment playing on one side, and then outputs rather limit the possibility of holding the iPad for example, when watching a movie.
Interesting news in the iPad Air connectivity concerns. Apple's bet on the dual-antenna Wi-Fi called MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output), which delivers up to twice the throughput of data with a compatible router ie up to 300 Mb / s Our tests showed mainly large range of Wi-Fi. If you are further away from the router, the data rate is almost unchanged. However, some may miss the presence of 802.11ac standard, as well as the iPhone 5S Air iPad can do more than 802.11n. Already standard equipment in the cider is the least energy-efficient Bluetooth 4.0.
The only thing still theoretically Air iPad is missing, Touch ID. A new way of unlocking for now remains an exclusive part of the iPhone 5S and it is expected that in case this gets to the next generation.
Software
Goes hand in hand with each iron in the operating system. The iPad Air will not find any other than iOS 7th A one experience is at this link very positive - iOS 7 with the iPad Air really feels like a fish in water. The mighty power to know and iOS 7 works without any problems, probably as it should ideally new operating system to run on any device, but unfortunately this is not possible.
"Do you feel that iOS 7 on the iPad Air just one."
What is the actual iOS 7 is concerned, we find in it the iPad Air no change. A nice bonus is the application of the packages iWork and iLife for free, ie Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iPhoto, GarageBand and iMovie. This is a decent serving of advanced applications to start. The viscera iPad Air will be mainly Employee Benefits iLife applications. When rendering video in iMovie is a higher power know.
Overall, however, unfortunately iOS 7 still does not work as well as on the iPhone. Apple took more or less the only system of čtyřpalcového display and enlarged it for the iPad. In Cupertino ever been the development of a tablet version significantly behind, which turned out during the summer testing, and many are eventually surprised at all that Apple iOS 7 for iPad launched so soon, and so it is not impossible that the CASE version edited. Lots of controls and animations deserve to own the iPad version, usually it encourages a larger display, a larger space for gestures and various controls. Despite the often incomprehensible behavior on iPad iOS 7 with just your iPad Air understood very well. Everything is brisk, to not expect anything and everything is now available. If you feel about the system on the tablets just one.
Thus it is clear that Apple has focused on developing iOS 7 especially on the iPhone, and now maybe it's time to set about polishing version for the iPad. Should begin immediately to remanufacture application iBooks. iPad Air will clearly be a very popular device for reading books and it is a shame that Apple even now, almost two months after the release of iOS 7, have failed to adapt their application for a new operating system.
Despite some shortcomings, which users at Air and iPad iOS 7 seen, however, this combination provides something that is difficult in today's world competition searches. Apple's ecosystem works perfectly and iPad Air it will greatly promote.
More models, different color
Air iPad is not just a new design and new guts, but also the memory. Apple after the experience of the previous generation, which subsequently published 128 gigabytes version, put this capacity for the new iPad and the iPad Mini Air immediately. For many users are twice the maximum capacity is very important. iPads were always on data much more challenging than the iPhone and many not so far 64 gigabytes of free space was not enough.
There is not too surprising. Size applications, especially games, with the demands of the graphics and the overall experience is growing and as Air iPad is an excellent tool for consuming content, it is possible to fill the capacity of music, photos and videos relatively easy. Some even argue that Apple still did not even offer 16 gigabytes version, because it is already insufficient. It would, moreover, also have a positive impact on the price, because at the moment is the top model of the iPad Air really expensive.
Slightly changed the color and design. One option remains traditionally stříbrnobílá, the second Apple bet on a space gray as the iPhone 5S, which operates unlike slate black more elegant. For the smallest Wi-Fi version of the iPad Air will pay 12,290 crowns for the top then 19,790 crowns. It is important to Apple that it now offers the world's only one version of a mobile connection, which handles all possible networks, and with us is up for grabs from 15,490 crowns. Over 128 gigabytes alternative to mobile Apple have already accounted for 22,990 crowns, and to consider whether it for such a tablet is not after all too. But who will use the capacity and waiting for her, probably will not hesitate despite the higher price.
For the new dimensions of the iPad Air Apple also introduced a modified Smart Cover, which is the previous generation three-piece, so that the user gets a slightly better angle than the four-part. Smart Cover can be purchased separately at the price of 949 crowns in six different colors. There is also a Smart Case, which is compared to last year made of leather instead of polyurethane and looks so much more polished. As a result, the price rose to 1,899 crowns.
Verdict
Verdict
Looking for new apple tablet is evident that Apple customers much more difficult choice. No longer the case that if you want less mobile and tablet, take iPad mini, and if you want greater convenience and performance will choose the large iPad. iPad Air vast majority of the differences between him and a small tablet blurs and decision-making is now much more complex.
"IPad Air is the best large tablet, Apple has ever made."
Choosing a new iPad dramatically affect the fact that you have an iPad using. Whatever may be because the new iPad and Air slightest Shebeli, current users iPad Mini or reduced weight and dimensions so impressed, especially when the new iPad mini offers a Retina display and identical performance. The changes will be felt particularly by those who have used the iPad 2 or iPad 3rd / 4th generation. However, it is worth mentioning here that the iPad Air with a weight closer to the right than the previous iPad mini big apple Tablets.
iPad mini will continue to get better as the tablet in one hand. Although the iPad Air to hold with one hand, which was still the most unpleasant activity, greatly optimized, smaller iPad still has the upper hand. There is simply more than 100 grams know.
From the perspective of the new user may be significantly closer iPads preferably practically can not make a mistake in the selection. Whether you take up a mini iPad, or iPad Air, both devices are now very light and if the weight does not have any significant claims will actually decide only the screen size. Existing users will make decisions based on their experience, habits and demands. Air iPad but you can current owners of iPad mini bewilder.
iPad Air is the best large tablet, Apple has ever made, and which has in its category across the entire market competition. Domination of iPad mini ends, demand should now be diluted evenly between larger and smaller version.
