Apple has been the leader in the tablet PC industry for a long time. After all, it was they who made it clear to the world that a tablet is a compromise between compactness and a large screen.
Screen
The high-resolution Retina display and pixel density have already become a hallmark of almost all Apple products. But no technology will be the best forever, and retina displays are no exception. Competitors are successfully promoting their 2K screens, which have an even higher PPI than ours.Therefore, it is logical to assume that the iPad Air 3 will increase the resolution, and the aspect ratio will be 16:10, and not 4:3. This will allow you to conveniently watch movies and other content, because this is what tablets are most often bought for. So we should expect a “usual” 2K display today, protected by durable sapphire glass. I don’t think it’s worth talking about color rendition; the Cupertino team has had it at its best since the first iPad.
iPad Air 3 release date
Apple has certain specifics in releasing its new products, and judging from it, certain conclusions can be drawn. Many analysts claim that the iPad 3 Air will be announced in the 3rd quarter of 2015.Iron
Compared to Android devices, iPhone and iPad often had weaker hardware, but due to optimization they worked very quickly. The Apple iPad Air 3 shouldn't change things dramatically. Surely the new processor in the tablet will have an X sign, which means it will just be an improved version of its predecessor. It will be even more powerful and even more energy efficient than the A8X, but you shouldn't expect anything special, even if it's called A9.As for RAM, but 95% that its volume will increase by 2 times, that is, it will be equal to 2GB. Considering that everything worked perfectly even with 1GB, this will be an excellent reserve for the future.
Unfortunately, we do not have any more data on the technical characteristics of the iPad 3.
Camera
Let's start with the fact that tablets are not designed for photography by default, it looks very strange. Of course, there are cases when you need to quickly take a photo of a document or something else, but tablets are not devices for everyday photography. How often do you use your tablet's camera?Despite this, the latest iPad models had excellent iPhone-level cameras. The iPad 3 Air should have the same 8 MP camera with an improved matrix and new software capabilities.
iPad 3 Air price
If we take into account the ruble exchange rate at the time of writing this article, a 64GB model without 3G will cost about 70,000 rubles. The cheapest 16GB version is 50,000. Although, it is difficult to make any forecasts yet, because we do not know what will happen in almost a year.Conclusion
Many users expect something incredible from the 3rd generation iPad. But a radical revolution has already occurred with the iPad Air 2, so the new product should simply be an improved copy of it.Having studied all the iPad models and their characteristics, you can understand how the technologies for creating Tablet PCs have developed and progressed from 2010 to the present day.
After all, these famous gadgets, both a few years ago and now, are equipped with the most modern parts. And you can see development from them.
Moreover, some analysts suggest that iPads will eventually be the first to displace a significant part of desktop computers from the market, surpassing them, if not in power, then at least in mobility and ease of use.
iPad 1
The first iPad went on sale in 2010 and became a truly revolutionary gadget that received many technologies that other tablet PCs did not have at that time - an IPS display and a powerful gigahertz Apple A4 processor.
High operating speed, a screen with a diagonal of almost 10 inches and a capacious 6667 mAh battery made the iPad 1 popular.
However, it was still just an experimental model, with a number of shortcomings and shortcomings.
Among the disadvantages of the device were the relatively short operation time on a single charge - even such a battery was not enough for the large display and the resource-intensive iOS operating system.
In addition, the iPad was quite thick by the standards of other tablets and did not come with a camera, which is why it could not be used for video chatting.
But its body has rounded edges and stylish volume control buttons on the right side.
The developers’ original solution was the button for switching lock modes and screen orientation, which lights up green when turned on.
Another impressive characteristic is the tablet’s built-in memory, the maximum capacity of which was 64 GB.
Although the rather modest RAM parameters did not allow installing more modern versions on the tablet.
Technical specifications:
- Screen size: 9.7 inches;
- resolution: 768 x 1024;
- processor: single-core, 1000 MHz;
- cameras: none;
- memory capacity: 256 MB RAM and from 16 to 64 GB built-in;
- Battery capacity: 6667 mAh.
iPad 2
The next generation of iPad, which appeared in 2011, turned out to be more advanced and had many fewer shortcomings.
First of all, this concerned the amount of RAM that had increased to 512 MB - quite enough to run modern applications and install new operating systems.
In addition, the model received two cameras at once - the main one with 0.69 megapixels. and frontal with resolution (640 x 480), gyroscope and dual-core processor.
Most other characteristics, except for a more powerful processor, remained at the same level. Visually, the gadget was distinguished by the edging of the Home button, which matched the color of the body.
Tablet parameters:
- screen: 1536x2048 pixels, 7.9 inches;
- chipset: 2 cores, 1300 MHz;
- cameras: 5 and 1.2 megapixels;
- memory: RAM – 1 GB, ROM – 16, 64 and 128 GB;
- Battery capacity: 6471 mAh.
Another plus is the most affordable price in the entire history of the series. The basic version of the model can be purchased for only $329.
At the same time, decent capabilities and quite affordable prices allow the gadgets to compete well with the top versions of other manufacturers.
And not only among fans of Apple products, but also among users who prefer high performance and modern technologies.
Fair, not overpriced and not underestimated. There should be prices on the Service website. Necessarily! without asterisks, clear and detailed, where technically possible - as accurate and concise as possible.
If spare parts are available, up to 85% of complex repairs can be completed in 1-2 days. Modular repairs require much less time. The website shows the approximate duration of any repair.
Warranty and responsibility
A guarantee must be given for any repairs. Everything is described on the website and in the documents. The guarantee is self-confidence and respect for you. A 3-6 month warranty is good and sufficient. It is needed to check quality and hidden defects that cannot be detected immediately. You see honest and realistic terms (not 3 years), you can be sure that they will help you.
Half the success in Apple repair is the quality and reliability of spare parts, so a good service works directly with suppliers, there are always several reliable channels and your own warehouse with proven spare parts for current models, so you don’t have to waste extra time.
Free diagnostics
This is very important and has already become a rule of good manners for the service center. Diagnostics is the most difficult and important part of the repair, but you don't have to pay a penny for it, even if you don't repair the device based on its results.
Service repairs and delivery
A good service values your time, so it offers free delivery. And for the same reason, repairs are carried out only in the workshop of a service center: they can be done correctly and according to technology only in a prepared place.
Convenient schedule
If the Service works for you, and not for itself, then it is always open! absolutely. The schedule should be convenient to fit in before and after work. Good service works on weekends and holidays. We are waiting for you and working on your devices every day: 9:00 - 21:00
The reputation of professionals consists of several points
Company age and experience
Reliable and experienced service has been known for a long time.
If a company has been on the market for many years and has managed to establish itself as an expert, people turn to it, write about it, and recommend it. We know what we are talking about, since 98% of incoming devices in the service center are restored.
Other service centers trust us and refer complex cases to us.
How many masters in areas
If there are always several engineers waiting for you for each type of equipment, you can be sure:
1. there will be no queue (or it will be minimal) - your device will be taken care of right away.
2. you give your Macbook for repair to an expert in the field of Mac repairs. He knows all the secrets of these devices
Technical literacy
If you ask a question, a specialist should answer it as accurately as possible.
So that you can imagine what exactly you need.
They will try to solve the problem. In most cases, from the description you can understand what happened and how to fix the problem.
Update: The official launch date for the 2018 iPad Pro is October 30, according to the Apple "Special Event" press invite. There's also more evidence that the new tablet will feature a USB-C port, and we've also gotten some interesting ideas about the size.
The iPad Pro 3 is Apple's next big update, and now the company has all but confirmed that we'll see the tablet on October 30th by sending out invitations to an event on that date.
The new iPad Pro should showcase thin-panel screens in two sizes, and leaks also suggest it will use the iPhone X's True Depth technology for Face ID.
Of course, at the beginning of the year we saw a new entry-level one with solutions aimed at the educational segment, but if you are looking for a more powerful tablet to replace the current one, you will soon get it.
Apple intends to make the iPad Pro series "laptop replacements" for as many users as possible, treating its Pro series tablets as if they were touchscreen MacBooks. With iOS 11 (and now iOS 12) and accompanying tablet-focused software, Apple is moving closer to that vision.
Regardless of the name, be it iPad Pro 2018 or iPad Pro 3, the new tablet will almost certainly remain expensive, and still won't be a laptop replacement for everyone, no matter how hard Apple tries to convince us of it.
Will there be a new iPad Pro? Seems like this could be an interesting change of concept. Here are the details we've gathered from all this time of leaks, rumors and speculation. We've also made our best guesses regarding price, release date, and various specifications/features.
Let's go!
- What is this? The next flagship tablet is the iPad;
- When to expect? Tuesday, October 30, 17:00 (Moscow time);
- What is the price? Probably no less than $649 (39,000 rubles);
| iPadPRO 3 (2018): RELEASE DATE AND PRICES
The iPad Pro 3 launches on October 30th, as Apple has already sent out invitations to a special event on that date.
This is not surprising as we were expecting the tablet to be released soon, not least because the new iPad Pro has been spotted by the EEC (Eurasian Economic Commission), indicating an imminent release of the device.
We don't know the launch date for the tablets yet, but whenever the iPad Pro series tablets come out, they come with a hefty price tag. The iPad Pro 10.5 (the last in the series) launched with a price tag of $649 (R42,000), so we believe Apple will stick to similar pricing with the 9.7-inch models, the cheapest in the series.
| iPadPRO 3: DESIGN
- Tiny panels around the screen;
- There's no home button or headphone port;
- The thinnest tabletApple;
One of the most recent iPad Pro 2018 leaks comes from a source that has been correct on Apple in the past and now claims that the upcoming tablet will be just 5.9mm thick and will lack a headphone port.
Additionally, we've currently seen a render purporting to show off the 12.9-inch iPad Pro 3, which you'll be able to see below.
Details include thin bezels and no home button or fingerprint scanner, so Face ID will definitely be included. But the bezels in the render are still large enough to eliminate the need for a notch.
We still get a metal back panel, four speaker grilles and a single camera on the back, but something has changed - the Smart Connector has moved to the bottom (when the tablet is in portrait mode), there doesn't seem to be a 3.5mm jack anymore headphones (which corresponds to rumors), and on the right edge there is an unidentified button.
The source adds that it appears that the iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) will come with dimensions of 280.6 x 215 x 5.8 mm (or 7.77 mm considering the camera bump on the back), making it smaller than the iPad Pro 12.9 (2017). The thickness is also in line with anecdotal rumors, so we're really looking forward to a very thin tablet.
We again got the same numbers from another source, which added that the iPad Pro 10.5 (2018) will measure 247.64 x 178.5 mm, making the new tablet smaller than its predecessor.
Another render has surfaced, this time showing the iPad Pro 12.9 (2018) in a case from UAG, you can see it below.
The details - including the thin bezels and Face ID sensor - are consistent with the materials above. However, the fact that the tablet is in a case suggests it could be out very soon, as the case maker likely won't release a product or render until the device is ready.
| iPadPRO 3 (2018): DISPLAY
- Models with a diagonal of 12.9 and 10.5 inches;
- The 10.5-inch model can be replaced by an 11-inch one;
While the iPhone range is now highly classified, the 2018 iPad Pro continues to be bombarded with leaks, with the edge-to-edge screen prominently featured.
Then again, it's still possible that Apple will put a notch on the tablet's display, especially since iOS 12 moves part of the status bar to the left edge, leaving empty space in the middle.
If Apple goes with an edge-to-edge screen design, the new iPads will be able to increase the display area, or keep the screen sizes to reduce the size of the body. This will come as a surprise to the sometimes bulky iPad Pro 12.9, and based on the information we've heard so far, shrinking the 12.9-inch tablet's body is exactly what Apple has done.
For the smaller 10.5-inch iPad, on the other hand, the new design could mean a slight increase in size, as we've seen a report claiming it will get an 11-inch display.
However, since Apple just introduced a new size with the 10.5-inch model, we're not sure about further changes. We also expect the iPad Pro 3 to feature a True Tone display with a 120Hz refresh rate, just like its predecessor.
| iPadPRO 3: CAMERA AND BATTERY
- Front-cameraTrueDepth;
- Best bokeh effect;
We don't expect big changes in the camera department. Apple continues to stick with the 12MP and 7MP combination on the back and front, respectively, adopting the sensors from the iPhone 8, which is a serious overkill for a tablet and should continue to serve well for at least another year.
However, if the Face ID rumors are true, the tablet will likely feature a front-facing True Depth camera, much more similar to the iPhone XS camera. It's still a 7-megapixel sensor, but with additional depth-sensing skills, making it a great solution for portrait mode (background blur).
There is no news regarding the iPad Pro (2018) battery yet, but we will be sure to include it in the article as soon as we know something.
| iPadPRO 3: OS AND PERFORMANCE
- Tablet chipsetA12Bionic;
- Operating system -iOS 12;
A supply chain source claims that the iPad Pro 3 will use the new A11X Bionic chipset with an 8-core processor. Considering that the iPhone XS smartphones are now powered by A12 Bionic chipsets, this seems unlikely.
Most likely, the 2018 iPad Pro will use either the A12 Bionic or something newer and better chipset that hasn't been announced yet - perhaps the A12X Bionic or A13.
Of course, the iPad Pro 3 will also definitely roll out iOS 12, which is available now. This will bring gesture controls to the tablet, as well as adding Siri shortcuts, group notifications, improvements in the augmented reality department, and more.
| iPadPRO 3: OTHER FEATURES
- FaceID;
- Four speakers;
- USBC;
You're unlikely to hear Apple officially call the upcoming tablet the "Modern iPad," but that's the name found in the iOS 11.3 code.
"Modern iPad" doesn't sound like much, but the phrase "Modern iPhone" was used before the release of the iPhone X. The speculation is that the term could promise unusual innovations such as Face ID and a bezel-less display.
Indeed, the idea is that the new iPad Pro 2018 will allow users to unlock the device by simply looking at the tablet, without using their hands - a rumor we've heard more than once.
In fact, the tablet's Face ID setup interface was found in the iOS 12 beta for iPad. In the same beta we also found multi-user support for Face ID, a feature that will be much more useful on a tablet than on a phone.
We've also heard that Face ID on the iPad will use the same image signal processor as the iPhone XS and will work in portrait and landscape orientations.
The same source claims that the iPad Pro 3 will be able to output 4K HDR to an external display using a USB-C port, which is also rumored to be included in the tablet.
Additionally, the 2018 iPad Pro will likely feature a new version of the magnetic connector for connecting accessories like Apple's new Smart Keyboard.
And a new version of the Apple Pencil will apparently land alongside the iPad Pro 3.
Other existing features such as quad speakers and Smart Connector (each of which were found in leaked images) will return once again.
| WHAT DO WE WANT TO SEE?
Excellent, since the current iPad Pro models remain very expensive, although they lack some key features or features of competitors. With that in mind, here's a list of the things we're most looking forward to from the iPad Pro 3.
WATER RESISTANCE
Apple has added water resistance to its smartphones, but this option has not yet reached the company's tablets and, although it is less necessary for tablets that are quite large, you would not use them in the rain.
But drinks are still spilled, and people still use tablets while cooking or at the pool, so knowing that the iPad Pro 3 can survive water would be reassuring, especially considering its price.
PRODUCTIVITY INCREASE
Apple has been consistently improving the performance potential of the iPad Pro, but it still can't match a laptop in most cases.
iOS simply isn't a versatile enough solution even with , and accessories like the Smart Keyboard tend to be overpriced, adding up to a mediocre experience. much better suited for the job.
Moreover, lowering the price of accessories could help the tablet, along with further changes to iOS, which should be closer to a desktop operating system. Full software that can offer desktop quality, such as Photoshop, would also help. To some extent, this is beyond Apple's capabilities, but the company can strike a deal with developers or simply make the platform more attractive to them.
PRICE DROP?
The iPad Pro is an expensive tablet, and there's no getting around it, no matter what size you choose. Considering the amount of technology packed in, the value for money isn't bad, but it can be difficult to justify the cost, especially when there are cheaper tablets available, given that it's not a full laptop replacement.
So we'd like to see a price drop with the new iPad Pro 3, or at least (and most likely) the previous prices, along with an increase in memory and new features.
SHARP OLED DISPLAY
The 10.5- and 12.9-inch iPad Pro 2 has a screen with a pixel density of 265 pixels per inch, which is quite good, while the overall screen quality is high.
But screens can be sharper on tablets, laptops and phones, so we'd like to see Apple bump up the resolution, especially since the iPad promises to be a prime candidate for 4K content.
And along with the new resolution, we'd like to see a new display technology, namely OLED. Apple has already used OLED panels for the iPhone X, so it's possible that the iPad Pro 3 could benefit.
FACE SCAN
Apple debuted Face ID on the iPhone X, allowing you to simply look at the phone to unlock it. This means that there is no longer a Home button, therefore opening up the possibility for a larger screen in the same body size. These are all useful features we'd like to see on the iPad Pro 3.
BEST BATTERY LIFE
The iPad Pro 2 tablets don't suffer from poor battery life as long as you use it primarily as a media device, but if you plan to use it as a laptop, expecting anything more than 6-7 hours is overkill.
That's still not bad, but an extra two hours would really help, so whether it's a larger battery or more efficient components and software, we'd like to see Apple add battery life to the iPad Pro 3.
NEW DESIGN
The iPad Pro has a thin, light and stylish design, but it's more in line with the design of Apple's tablets of recent years, so we'd like a complete overhaul of the iPad Pro 3. Something new and exciting that might tempt those who use older models and covet updates.
It could be a glass back, a huge screen, no bezels, or something new altogether. But if there's one thing Apple is great at, it's design, and we think it all depends on the task at hand.
