Whenever a new device from Apple enters the market, it’s bound to make a splash, usually a pretty significant one. Based on my personal experience and subsequent opinion, most of Apple’s hardware and software have all the reason for being like this. They offer great usability, can serve for both entertainment and productivity, are durable, and generally offer good value for money. The iPad Air that was unveiled just last month has been no exception, and it seems we have one more reason to love the device. It carries an awesome battery with almost unparalleled battery life, as a recent experiment has shown.
The latest and greatest in Apple's full-sized iPad range is now officially available for consumer purchase. As expected, there has been a great deal of interest in the lightest, thinnest and fastest iPad yet with certain stores in the United States and around Europe having to manage queues that started forming 24-hours prior to launch. With that said, the official Apple.com website still shows that the iPad Air ships within 24-hours on all models barring the 128GB Cellular + Wi-Fi version. But what if digital purchasing isn't your thing and you'd prefer to grab one from a local retail outlet without fear of being disappointed by dwindling stock levels?
Today, November 1st, Apple opened their stores around the world to fans queuing up for the latest and greatest in their tablet line: the iPad Air. Announced in late October, the iPad Air didn't exactly come as much of a surprise to anyone who isn't living under a rock. Leaks of it's existence were occurring left, right and center until almost the only piece of the puzzle we were missing was it's official announcement from Apple.
We think it's pretty fair to say that Apple's recent announcement of the iPad Air didn't exactly blow everyone's mind when it comes to technological innovation. The unveiling of the next-generation full-sized iPad pretty much fell in line with what the majority were expecting in the fact that it offers an improved but evolutionary upgrade from its predecessor. The introduction of the Apple A7 chipset and the improved engineering principles mean that the device will ultimately be faster, lighter and thinner than all other iPads to date, but the Primate Labs Geekbench 3 tests give us a pre-release indication of just how capable the iPad Air is.
The iPad Air is almost ready for release, and naturally, Apple's accessory partners are hot on its tail. We've already seen the first batch of what Belkin has to offer the Cupertino's rebranded slab, and now, Logitech has come through with a substantial helping of cases and accessories for the fifth-gen iPad.
As fans of the show continue to lament the end of popular TV series Breaking Bad, the guy behind the main character of Breaking Bad - Walter White - has already managed to wrangle himself a pretty decent new role - as the voice of one of Apple's new ad for the iPad Air. The device, which succeeds the fourth-generation Apple tablet as of next month, has already caused a bit of a stir among tech fans, and with Cranston's influential tone now a part of the ad campaign, expect the tactically-entitled slate to sell well in its first week on sale.
Yesterday was undoubtedly a pretty big day for iPad lovers. Not only did Apple dish up a refreshed iPad but it also changed its name to the relatively unpopular iPad Air. Alongside the new Retina iPad mini 2, the new iPad Air takes the original iPad and improves upon it in all kinds of ways.
Apple’s much anticipated event today came to a close a few hours back, but left the blogosphere abuzz in its wake with news and views on all the great tech that the Cupertino-based company showcased, including OS X Mavericks, the new iPads, a fresh MacBook Pro, the behemoth that they call Mac Pro, along with software improvements like iWork and iLife. There was so much more that the event had to offer, and here, we’re going to provide a quick run down in case you missed the action earlier. The event is also available to stream online again, link for which is given at the end of this post.
Apple cannot resist coming through with the confusing names, and now we find ourselves with the iPad 2, fifth-gen iPad Air, iPad mini, and the new iPad mini with Retina display. With so many options both old and new, allied to Apple's almost arbitrary naming patterns, it may be a rather confusing state of affairs, so here, we take a close look at the four Apple tablets including features, specs and prices.
