In recent days he has gained weight the rumor that says the new tablet from Apple will be called iPad HD, but for months now known as iPad 3. Your presentation is imminent. We hope that this afternoon, at 7:00 p.m., according to the Spanish peninsular zone, the third generation of tablets from Cupertino will be shown to the world in the hands of the CEO of the firm, Tim Cook, at the Yerbabuena Center in San Francisco.
Much has been said about what we will see in the new device. However, with the premiere of the terminal just around the corner, from tuexpertomovil.com we offer you a summary of the most interesting points of the rumored technical profile of the iPad 3 based on the probability that they will finally be part of the benefits that will define to the new reference tablet for this 2012.
Design
Few changes. So that Apple will continue to bet on the same aspect that the tablet already wore in 2011 with the iPad 2. It would be a wise decision. On the one hand, the aluminum back adds elegance and sobriety to the whole. Furthermore, its curved design makes it possible to use the attractive magnetic multifunction Smart Cover. However, it has been known that it would lose something in thinness because of the screen and the distribution of the internal battery, which would be narrower and thicker. Otherwise, the layout of the external controls "" volume, lock, mute "" will remain as before.
screen
Perhaps here is the main novelty of the new iPad. The terminal would be the disappointment of the year if it did not integrate the new screen that doubles in resolution what has been seen so far in the apple tablets. And it is expected that iPad 3 "or" iPad HD, which precisely for this reason would be given the new name "" has a panel with a resolution of 2,048 x 1,536 pixels, which would trigger the condensation of the new screen to the s 264 dots per inch.
The potential of this novelty brings with it both applause and criticism. On the one hand, it will allow to gain in definition, and therefore, image quality. But on the other, the application and magazines that have been designed from an electronic canvas of 1,024 x 768 pixels is literally half will unless Apple has arranged some kind of automated tool that interpolates the resolution without loss of quality.
It is important to underline the issue of interpolation, since iPad users who downloaded applications designed for iPhone would find that if they adjusted the size of the frame to the dimensions of the tablet, they lost a notable quality compared to the original. That's what could happen unless Apple has contemplated a software solution.
Connectivity
There are two points that would be interesting to know in the chapter on additions. On the one hand, the option of having an LTE connection. We refer to the fourth-generation standard that would surpass the well-known 3G and that is capable of developing transfer rates of up to 100 Mbps. LTE networks are reasonably widespread throughout the United States, as well as in Japan, Germany, and many other regions of the world, although not all. In Spain it is expected that during this year the first commercial LTE connections will begin to be offered "" they are already available for some corporate accounts "".
Thanks to this type of connectivity, the iPad 3 would gain enormously in data versatility, as long as this option is available, since perhaps the option of acquiring the terminal only with Wi-Fi connection or combined with mobility options would remain.
On the other hand, the iPad 3 has also been debated in the lies about the possible presence of the fashionable chip: the NFC. You will already know that we refer to that characteristic that makes it possible to establish data communications by proximity, giving the option to develop a multitude of functions, from exchanging contact information to images, videos or even carrying out monetary transactions. It is not that he has them all with him, but the impulse that this technology could receive in 2012 suggests the possibility that Apple decides to debut in NFC technology as a precursor to the presence of this system in the iPhone 5.
Camera
The issue of equipping tablets with cameras is controversial. On the one hand, if they are not included, the market cries out for them; but if included, the fact he is given ridiculous that use a pileup is generously proportioned to take pictures or shoot videos. In any case, the step that Apple took last year seems to have stayed halfway: a main sensor that they baptized as HD, but that either in video mode or in photographic capture gave results that left much to be desired.
This year the situation could change. The iPhone 4S has a camera that has drawn praiseworthy praise, and Apple could take advantage of the situation to import that interesting sensor into the iPad 3. Talking about a eight - megapixel camera capable of obtaining excellent images even in adverse light, and equipped with software options that allow filming videos as FullHD. But this time, in high definition rates that are not only defined by the vertical scan of the video, but have a really fine resolution.
On the other hand, the front camera would also gain in power. The new iPad is expected to be able to serve video calls "" through the Facetime function "" with HD 720p quality. Supposedly, we would be talking about the same sensor that is used in the iPhone 4S for video calls.
Processor and memory
The heart of the iPad 3 has also been the subject of debate and speculation. Two have been the most alluded candidates in this regard: the supposed A6 and A5x processors, chips based on quad-core and dual-core architecture, respectively. Until relatively recently, it was taken for granted that Apple would debut in quad-core technology in its range of mobile terminals, although in recent weeks it came to know that, through filtration, what the new iPad would carry would be a processor that would persist in dual-core architecture, although in this case, it would gain power. Unfortunately,the clock frequency that the supposed A5x would reach is still unknown.
On the other hand, so far, the two editions that have been known of the iPad have opted for three steps depending on the memory, distinguishing between 16, 32 and 64 GB. This allows, on the one hand, the user to choose a model depending on the use that is going to give it "" with greater or less capacity to store photos, videos, music, applications and others ""; and on the other hand, it makes the acquisition of an iPad differentiated according to the price that best suits our pocket.
Currently, even the iPhone 4S bets on this distinction. However, there have been voices that have indicated that this year the iPad 3 would only be available in 32 and 64 GB versions. In spite of everything, it is unlikely, as it is a rumor that would precisely limit the definition of a range that constitutes up to six models in combination of connectivity and memory "" that could be expanded if it is also discriminated according to the presence or not of LTE, to get to this point "".
Battery and autonomy
One of the strengths of the iPad has always been autonomy, hardly matched by stiff competition. Until now, Apple has kept at bay a duration in use of up to ten hours, something that with the presence of a new more powerful processor and with a resolution that double that seen so far could put the indexes that it has presented by flag in trouble.
Already spoken that the iPad 3 would have a new battery, at the least as available in the inner compartment of the terminal is concerned, but has not been known if it will increase the amperage of the unit, or if Apple had integrated developments in the system for greater efficiency despite powerful new features. In spite of everything, it is impossible to predict how long it would last in the case of the new device.
Launching
The first rumors about the coming out of the iPad 3 have already jumped. Following in the wake of what was seen last year, the new device being presented today, its arrival in stores would begin next Friday, March 16. At least, that would be the case in the United States, and perhaps England and Germany. In the case of the Spanish market, the launch would take a week. Specifically, until March 23. Last year the closure of the iPad 2 was opened on Friday, March 25, so the premiere of the new tablet would maintain the deadlines seen in 2011.
