Comparison of iPad 2 and rumors about iPad 3

There are one product which is very popular at the moment and Apple fans can’t wait the news about the new version for it, and it is an iPad 3. Apple fans are following every possible blog to know in the first place about the iPad 3 updates, rumors and other details or information that would help them to know in the first place everything that is related to this product.

Based on rumors that are all over the internet we made a small comparison of an iPad 2 which is already launched and works amazing and of an iPad 3 which still is in the shadow and there are only little information about the specifics that it could have.

Storage

As we all know, all Apple product usually have the same storage variations. You have a possibility to get an iPhone or iPad which have 3 storage versions:

  1. 16Gb
  2. 32Gb
  3. 64Gb

This is nothing new to Apple fans who already use their products and I don’t think that it will change with the next products as well so you can start to think about the version you would like to have. If we are talking about effective purchase then I would say that the 16Gb version is the most suitable. Let me explain why.. Services like iCloud are getting very popular these days and you can use them on your iPhone, your Mac and other devices so it is not necessary to have such a big storage for your everyday needs because anyway most likely you will choose the version where you can connect to mobile network and then you will have an access all the time and you won’t need any special storage for all your stuff. And of course it will synchronize all the time with the server and your data will be protected from the loss.

Display

We all know that the previous iPad had 9.7 inch display which is cool and high quality and we all liked it. New iPad 3 could have a little bit smaller screen, something like 7.85 inch display but it won’t change a lot for it capacity because resolution should change as well and it could be even higher than iPad 2.

Chipset

As the Apple is trying to create tablet computer that is powerful enough to use it as a computer then I think that 1GHz Apple Dual-Core A5 processor is a history and the next one will have at least 30% more power than this one but will see about this.

Camera

Their HD camera at the moment works pretty well if you make a video or photo outside in normal day light. If you film it or shoot something in the building with poor lightening then it is pretty bad quality material. As Apple made their iPhone 4s camera much better than an iPhone 4, there won’t be very big difference in iPad 3 as well. Actually it would be quite good if they would just increase the quality and would add some lenses as they did with an iPhone 4s. 

Rumors about iPad 3 specification

At the moment there are no absolutely correct and official information about iPad 3 specification so further reading is just a prediction and information that you can find in different websites and blogs and mostly from them are rumors.

We would like to look at the new iPad 3 as a much better tablet computer which could work the same as laptop so we would not need to carry laptop and tablet computer around with us all the time and it would be totally enough just to have one device that can manage all of or daily tasks. You may say that there are no convenient keyboard on it? Yes, but you can get an extra external keyboard which works the same as the normal one and you probably won’t need laptop at all. Of course we are not talking about people who have to use their computers in advanced levels. Lets get to the point.

Some specifications: 

We already know that iPad 2 had a Multi-Touch display with IPS technology which is very high quality and people love that. Rumors say that the new iPad could have a retina display. There are also a small change in its size. Previous version was 9.7 inches (diagonal) but the new one could be a little bit smaller – around 7.85 inches. Is it true? We don’t know yet but when we will, we will tell you about it. Apple is trying to make their iPad more handy and it means it should be a little bit smaller than it is otherwise it is sometimes too big to carry it in your pocket. You may say that the new display will have less size and it will fit less things on it.. Nope, it seems that resolution will increase and you can fit all the things on it as on previous versions. The same thing could happen with the apps and other stuff that people worry about at the moment, that many applications that they are using are developed for certain size of display and won’t work if they use it on new device which will have absolutely different screen size.

We still don’t know many things about it but as Digitimes wrote, Apple already made an order for 3 million iPad panels and production of new devices could start on January. It should be enough to make enough devices to launch it on March as it is mentioned in many blogs that are following the news about the new product launch in the next year.

But still, we are in the 2011 and if you can’t find anything that you would like to give to your friends or even parents on the Christmas, consider buying an iPad 2 because until next iPad 3 there are still 4 months and it doesn’t matter, this iPad 2 is very handy as well and I am sure that people will find a way to use it and make their day more productive.
