Before entering the heart of the matter here is the grip that we tour, just returned to the editorial ‘. Will already have an idea of ??the beast.
“new” design
The case of the mini iPad
Unpacking fast since there was the iPad and charger in the box . From the first touch, the lightness of the iPad Air is striking but its design is not unknown. Apple has indeed taken the case of the iPad mini, its lower edges and rounded edges . The object is in good hands and finishes worked but nothing new under the sun. Only significant novelty, addition of a humbucker to capture ambient sounds and neutralize them.
Just like the mini version, the iPad has air two speakers on the bottom bracket, to avoid the sound gets blocked when placed on a bed or couch. This is significant for an extra internet usage, but we still prefer headphones to watch the series.Color side, we find the sidereal gray and the silver available for the iPhone 5s. Apple apparently did not want to wear the acid colors 5c iPhone or iPod Touch on his new iPad. Color dyed should avoid the new iPad from getting scratched too quickly, but protection is never too much. As for fingerprints , they unfortunately seem inevitable both on screen and on the apple.
A “new” collection of smart and smart box covers
If Apple does not offer a new color for the iPad Air she added some color to its range of smart case and smart cover. The principle of protection remains unchanged and we can continue to blame the smart cover its price and futility by shocks. Other more comprehensive protections can be found on the market, but they will default to thicken the tablet. The selection criteria shell eventually remain the same as on previous generations since Apple does not give us the other alternative.
The uses of iPad mini in sight
The iPad Air and 7.5 mm thicknesses for 469g is much closer to that of the iPad mini iPad retina. Apple has made a more compact tablet and seems to compete with its own mini iPad. It is true that the iPad Air is easier to transport, but in its use, it will remain a tablet living room or office. the user can easily hold with one hand while enjoying the comfort a 10 “screen, but it is far from the mobility offered by the mini. iPad
Those who need to travel frequently and do not use the iPad to see information continue to prefer the iPad mini , except in cases of extreme frustration in the use keyboard. The arrival of the iPad Mini retina does not bode well for the iPad Air whose position seems rather rough. users who have hesitated to go to the mini iPad because of the screen will now be satisfied with a retina display and will not see the benefit of the iPad Air. C ‘ is perhaps also to avoid cannibalizing its products Apple has chosen to launch the iPad mini retina later, just to give priority to the iPad Air for a while.
smaller battery but autonomy intact
a smaller battery to save space
To succeed in making the iPad Air ultra-thin tablet, Apple replaced the battery 42.5 Wh, present on the previous generation models, a 32.4 Wh battery . No concerns have however on the autonomy of the tablet remains unchanged compared to the iPad 4. During our test, the two tablets have become extinct after 7am when we left to shoot a video in maximum brightness. Apple managed this sleight of hand by adding to its iPad Air his famous co-processor and a M7 IGZO screen.
The coprocessor M7 saves battery
The firm Apple introduced its A7 processor and the coprocessor M7 large pump with iPhone 5s. These components are also available on the iPad Air and allow it to save battery at appropriate times. The most perceptive people have guessed, the M M7 means “ motion ” . The co-processor can detect the phases during which the terminal is not in motion (on a table or in a rack) in order not to network research and thus save the battery. It also pays for the calculation of spatial signals to avoid stressing the CPU, more energy intensive.
A screen IGZO for greater autonomy and less glare
It’s Display Mate who noticed that iPad Air was equipped with an IGZO screen whose energy efficiency is much better the screens found on previous generations. This less energy LCD , also helps reduce glare about 30% . It remains very bright and can be distracting in sunlight or by misfortune bulb behind you.
performance up on paper
What we say benches
Apple made a lot of noise about its new A7 processor, it looks like 2 times more powerful than the previous generation. benches made indeed show very good performance for the iPad Air in front of the iPad 4 or Nexus
7. Note that the performance of the iPad Air are very close to those of the iPhone 5s. Next competition, the Kindle Fire HDX is especially noteworthy compared to Nexus 7 and 10, which represent the high-end segment of Android tablets.
However, it seems difficult to compare the iPad mini iPad Air in terms of performance, since the first has no retina display. It will therefore require less power, use equal to achieve the same framerate.What is actually
The benches are very interesting to study, but they are only a theoretical representation of the ability of machines. What matters most to the user is returned to use, which is why we wanted to organize a match to test the performance of the iPad Air against the iPad 4. Our goal was to determine if the A7 processor really revolutionized the lives of its users, or if the difference was minimal. We therefore tested the devices on web browsing, video processing and games.
Note that the performance differences are not really feel when it comes to surfing the web or make the office. The Mac4Ever application and some websites also open quickly on both machines. However when it comes to videos and treat or launch games, iPad Air wins the match by knockout, which confirms the results of the benches.
The new iPad therefore appeal to advanced users, fans of music, videos and games. This investment will allow them to keep one step ahead and come see the new generation of games ever graphically intensive, with serenity. However, for those who have only use “ casual ” of their tablet, this upgrading does not present a great interest in terms of performance and responsiveness.
same camera sensor
Regarding the camera, no improvement has been made, which could greatly disappoint fans of photos. We find the iSight camera and the FaceTime 5Mpx 1.2 megapixel camera found on previous models. The comparisons we made during the release of the iPad mini are still relevant , but we still made some shots for the sake of your peepers.
Some may argue that the camera of a tablet is not what matters most to its owner, as is most of the time on the coffee table. However, many users like to use this easily accessible tool to capture everyday scenes or quickly send a picture to a contact illustration. camera iPad Air will do for extra practice but its performance remains poor in low light , which could be a problem for those who want to expand their family photos.Click to enlarge
Note that the photo of Mr. Cookie, taken with the 8MP sensor iPhone 5s, seems much clearer than that taken with the iPad Air. lighting conditions do appear much reduced noise on the left picture, while the colors are not as well made. So
We prefer the iPhone 5s when it comes to taking pictures at home.
Gallery below gives some examples of photos taken with the iPad Air. It seems more efficient in the light of day, which is a shame since it is not really for you travelers. In addition, to focus and press the shutter button without moving is a perilous exercise on a shelf 10 “.
careful if you are on mobile Each photo gallery weighs several mega
What can regret
We use personal headphones
Given the price of the iPad Air, we would expect to receive a pair of ‘EarPods in the box. These are indeed necessary to play or watch a show on the train and it seems surprising that Apple does not provide with a tablet for use in mobility.
will continue to type the code
After launching with great fanfare iPhone 5s with Touch ID, many expected that the system is also present on the new iPad. It seems that Apple would have liked to be the case, but unfortunately, the production apparently did not follow . There is however no doubt that the next generation iPad will be equipped, even if secure access to the tablet seems to be less critical than a smartphone. It would have been nice, however, can already make purchases on the App Store without having to type the password.
Where is the craziness
The colors of the new iPad have nothing crazy while the iPhone 5c plays happily on the color and the iPhone 5s pickerel quite a stir. Kim Kardashian will surely be very disappointed not to be able to be displayed with a matching iPad, and one wonders why Apple continues to offer tablets in such classic colors. may be to target the market business
And if we do not want to confine view content
If Apple really is the business segment, why not propose Accessories oriented content creation? Rumors on a shell with a physical keyboard have unfortunately not been confirmed and followers of this type of protection will have to turn to other brands . Designers could expect a stylus or a screen capable of capturing the different levels of pressure. There is nothing and it unfortunately seems that apart from good performance and a reduced thickness, the iPad Air does not have many new features.
Our buying tips
Finally, the uses of the iPad not changed much with this new generation. Technological performance is in terms of miniaturization of components, but users waiting a real evolution of the terminal has not been served. This lack of novelty may be reluctant owners of iPad “ older generation ” to renew their equipment. Those who need to carry their tablet regularly surely await the release of the iPad mini retina.
The iPad Air nevertheless remains a pleasant to use and performance is significantly better product than its predecessors. Anyone looking for a Christmas gift that will dazzle under the tree can go there with your eyes closed.
