Detailed review and testing of Apple iPad Air. Apple iPad Air in-depth review and testing SAR levels refer to the amount of electromagnetic radiation absorbed by the human body while using a mobile device.

iPad 2017, or, as it is also called, iPad 9.7, is the direct heir to the Air line. The introduction of a new, more advanced device into the sale will inevitably lead to a drop in demand for previous models... Apple decided not to wait for the drop in sales iPad Air 2 and killed the ruler. Now officially on the company's website, you can only purchase the iPad Pro (with screens 9.7 and 12.9 inches), iPad mini 4 (7.9 inches) and an unnamed iPad.

Complete set and design

Branded Apple solutions they meet the user already at the stage of unpacking: a pleasant matte surface of the box, a familiar design, a traditional set and arrangement of components. In addition to the tablet, the kit includes a charging hub, a Lightning cable, an insert with tips and two stickers. There are no paper clips: Participates in Lifehacker's review iPad Wi-Fi that does not support the use of a SIM card.


Frame new iPad replicates the first iPad Air with millimeter precision. The dimensions of the device are 240 × 169.5 × 7.5 mm. The weight is the same as the 2013 tablet and is 469g and 478g in Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + Cellular versions, respectively. The only external difference from the iPad Air is that the mute button, lost at the production stage of the iPad Air 2, has not been returned to the new iPad. Well, the speaker holes are now arranged in one row, like in the iPad Air 2.


Left iPad Air 2, right iPad.

Such solutions are not new for Apple: something similar happened last year, when the company presented the iPhone SE - iPhone 5s with improved and more modern "filling". Such an upgrade of time-tested devices can significantly save on the cost of the final product, which ultimately affects the price for the buyer. Borrowing previous technological solutions gives users another unobvious advantage: the new iPad will be matched with cases for iPad Air, iPad Air 2 or iPad Pro 9.7.

For those who have not communicated with Apple tablets before (what if!): On the upper edge of the aluminum case there is a headphone input (3.5 mm) and a lock / off button, in the upper part of the right edge there are volume keys, in the center of the lower edges - Lightning input for charger surrounded on both sides by speaker holes. Below - Home button, the only mechanical key on the front of the iPad. All buttons look nice and respond nicely when pressed.




The new iPad is available in three colors: Silver, Gold and Space Gray. The rose gold version is only available in the iPad Pro line.

Screen

Nothing new. In principle, many of the review points can start with the words "nothing new". And that's not bad when it comes to the price of 24,990 rubles.

The new iPad has a touch-sensitive 9.7-inch Retina display with a resolution of 2,048 × 1,536 pixels and a density of 264 ppi - the same screen is also found in the iPad Air and 9.7-inch iPad Pro models.

On the way to an attractive price, Apple has stripped the new iPad of some of the features present in more expensive tablets... IPad 2017 lacks feature True tone that adjusts the colors of the display to the ambient light. Also, the new iPad is not equipped with an OGS display, that is, there is an air gap between the glass of the screen and the matrix, as in the first iPad Air.

Battery

The battery capacity has increased to 8 827 mAh. For comparison, the iPad Air 2's battery boasted only 7,340 mAh. Despite this, Apple traditionally claims ten hours of battery life for the new iPad. We suspect that this nuance is due to the power consumption of the A9 processor.

Features and performance

The main advantage of the iPad over the iPad Air and Air 2 is the 64-bit A9 processor. This is not the most powerful processor Apple: A9X is installed in the Pro series, and A10 in the iPhone 7. Volume random access memory- 2 GB.

iPad mini- an amazing device. When in 2012 rumors began to creep across the network that in the bowels of the Apple headquarters they were preparing a smaller version of the familiar and beloved ten-inch iPad, fans of the Cupertino technology rudely expressed their opinion, arguing the negative with fragmentation, imitation of the Android camp, impracticality, meaninglessness, and so on. more ... Few of them then could have thought that literally in a year, people would begin to abandon the classic iPad in favor of the iPad mini.

With a good aspect ratio, iPad is better suited for web surfing than widescreen tablets. The reduced iPad version proved to be even more convenient for everyday use and all thanks to the excellent weight and size characteristics and only two significant drawbacks were in first iPad mini is a low resolution and relatively weak A5 processor at the time of release. iPad mini 2 was deprived of these minuses and now it is, in my subjective opinion, best tablet on the market.

Before us is still the same practical device, the design of which has not changed. The only visual difference iPad Mini The first generation iPad Mini's Retina is color. The silver-white model remained unchanged, and the black became gray, the color was officially named Space Gray, which in Russian localization sounds like "milky gray".

What's inside the second generation iPad Mini? Let's talk about everything in order ...

What's new in iPad mini 2 (Retina)

First, let's take a look at the differences between iPad mini 2 and its predecessor.

1. First and foremost, a Retina display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536.
This is exactly the same screen resolution as the ten-inch iPad, so the iPad mini has exactly the same DPI as the iPhone - 326! For a tablet, this is an impressive figure, the image is simply amazing. The display has become brighter, more contrasting, and the colors are even more saturated, the viewing angles are beyond praise, however, as always. It's infinitely pleasant to look at, both at the interface elements of iOS and programs, and at games, there is no need to talk about fonts at all. It is a pleasure to read the text.

326 PPI. Pixels cannot be seen with the eye

2. Powerful filling.
The new iPad mini is significantly more powerful than the first model. The outdated dual-core A5 processor (the same was in the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S) was replaced by the 64-bit A7, with a frequency of 1.3 GHz. Judging by synthetic tests, the performance gain is over 400%, and the graphics processing speed has increased to 800%! The power of iPad mini Retina is almost the same as the iPad Air, the only difference in the filling is the understated frequency of the A7 processor by 100 MHz. The tablet also has an M7 coprocessor, its task is to process data on the position of the device in space - gyroscope, accelerometer, GPS.

3. Other changes:

  • new iPad mini 2 got a quad-core graphics processor g6430;
  • the amount of RAM has been increased from 512 Mb DDR2 to 1024 Mb DDR3;
  • the tablet has become thicker by 0.3 millimeters;
  • the weight of the Wi-Fi version has been increased from 308 g to 331 g, the weight of the Cellular version has been increased from 312 g to 341 g;
  • the battery capacity has been increased.

What about iPad Mini 2 in use?

iPad Mini Retina, like the previous generation tablet, is ergonomic indefinitely. I will add that, being Apple technology lovers for many years now, I have always not been very good at the classic 9.7-inch iPad. I never liked it in many respects, from weight and size characteristics to the visual component. The enormous weight, inconvenient dimensions, the widest frame around the display - everything prevented me from using the large iPad as a portable and practical tablet and it turned more and more into a device for the home, and the tasks that I assigned to it were more and more compensated for by a computer and phones. As a result, the "toy" has practically ceased to be used by me.

In the case of the iPad Mini, the situation is diametrically opposite. The tablet is lightweight and as practical as possible for portable use, it fits into the inner pocket of most jackets, jackets and down jackets even in a case, taking it with you on the road is a pleasure, you can hold it with one hand for a long time, and playing is a special pleasure. Considering the powerful stuffing, I can advise you to choose the iPad Mini Retina for games, rather than the iPad Air, it is really very convenient to play, and primarily due to its small size.

As for the time autonomous work, that everything is great here, however, as always with Apple. iPad Mini Retina is capable of surviving heavy use of modern games (for example) for up to 7 hours. Of course, this indicator depends on the individual brightness settings and the included modules, but I managed to squeeze out 10 hours in the daily operation mode, where there was mainly web surfing, light games, and mail. There are screenshots on the network that someone managed to torment their iPad Mini 2 at low brightness for 13 hours without recharging. Agree, these are impressive numbers.

Does the iPad Mini Retina have any downsides?

There is, where without them, perfect gadgets do not exist. But the downsides of the second generation iPad Mini are really few.

1. Apple has equipped the latest line of iOS devices with one gigabyte of RAM. The memory has become not only more, it has become even faster, but by today's standards, this is still not so much. In the Android camp, 2Gb RAM is already the norm, if the iPad Mini 2 and iPad Air were equipped with the same amount, not many would want to change the gadget in a year, and so Apple at the end of the year will happily announce that now regular iPads have twice the RAM more and many of us will run to the store with a smile on our face. Although, on the other hand, the existing filling will be enough for modern games for another couple of years and this is more than enough to not think about the hardware inside the device.

2. Retina display... "How so, because this is his main advantage!" - you say. Quite right, but this display is slightly worse than the iPad Air. The iPad Mini 2 display is inferior in contrast, brightness and color quality, but it wins in image clarity and this is visible to the naked eye. However, this small flaw should not be a reason for hesitating about the purchase, in practice you will notice the difference only when directly comparing the iPad Mini 2 and iPad Air, but you can notice a higher clarity and pixel density in the Mini 2 without comparison.

3. iPad Mini Retina comes with a 10-watt power supply, while a 12-watt power supply has been on sale for almost a year and a half. Thanks to this, the charging of the tablet takes a really long time.

4. During prolonged play with "heavy" toys, the Mini 2 body heats up significantly, the large iPad Air is less prone to this problem, thanks to the large aluminum body. In fact, this is a heatsink for a tablet, so it turns out that a smaller heatsink takes less heat from the processor. Moreover, at some point the games may start to slow down, this is because the processor frequency, upon reaching a certain temperature, begins to decrease in order to prevent overheating.

5. Perhaps the last drawback, which can be called temporary. Regarding modern games, on the iPad Mini Retina you can see some jams in them, I will not say that they are very noticeable, but they are. This is due to the fact that not all developers have yet updated their applications for the 64-bit processor architecture, hence the corresponding problems.

It is also worth noting that some users are faced with the problem of a poor-quality display, allegedly distorting the color reproduction the next second after a long display of a black image. I have not encountered this problem, but even if you are "unlucky", you should not get stuck, this is a trifle.

The first generation iPad Mini is still on sale, is it worth saving or is it better to buy an iPad Mini Retina?

You can save a lot and buy the first generation iPad Mini, but you must realize that you are buying obsolete hardware that will not last for several years and soon you will find brakes, both in games and in iOS. If possible, compare the iPad Mini screen of the first and second generation, you will understand that the choice is obvious in favor of the second.

Should you choose iPad Mini 2 (Retina) or iPad Air?

In fact, the question is quite simple. Both tablets are almost identical in power, you won't notice the difference. The 9.7-inch iPad is significantly lighter than the 469 and 478 grams of Wi-Fi and Cellular, respectively. Its bezel has become thinner around the edges. In general, iPad Mini 2 and iPad Air are almost identical tablets, which differ in only three things:
  • price - each iPad Air model is exactly 4000 more expensive than a similar iPad Mini 2;
  • size - iPad Air is significantly larger than Mini 2;
  • Weight - iPad Air is about 140 grams heavier than iPad Mini 2.

It's simple, if you want a mobile, convenient, productive tablet, then don't hesitate to take the iPad Mini 2 (Retina), if you want a bigger screen, then the iPad Air. For everyday use, the iPad Mini 2 will be more convenient, more enjoyable to play, and the clarity of the image is higher. iPad Air loses a little in portability and image clarity, but the screen is brighter and has better color reproduction, but still, it is more suitable for home use. The Mini is easier to carry, even if the Air's weight was the same as the iPad Mini, it will still be large and bulky, while the Mini is compact and as practical as possible.

If we go to Wikipedia and see the meaning of the word "Convenience", we will see a detailed definition:

"Convenience - fitness for use, the availability of conditions, opportunities for easy, pleasant, non-burdensome use of something or the satisfaction of any needs, needs."

And for the iPad Mini 2, these words are more applicable than for the iPad Air. Air is the same, only more, from here it and its disadvantages, if this is a plus for you - take the iPad Air.

If you are a happy owner of an iPad, then sooner or later you will surely face the question of how to properly use and charge the battery on your tablet.

Let's try together to figure out how to prolong the work of the heart of your device.

Battery rules

IPad Battery - How to Use and Charge iPad Properly

In order to extend the battery life, a lot of knowledge is not required, you just need to follow a few simple rules:

  1. Do not use or store iPad in temperatures below 0 degrees or above +35 degrees. The optimum temperature for operation and storage of the device is from 0 to 30 degrees.
  2. Do not leave your iPad uncharged for a long period of time (1-2 weeks), otherwise it may not turn on.
  3. Be sure to use your tablet, do not let it sit idle for a long time with a full charge, this way you can save the battery capacity.
  4. Discharge and charge iPad completely, at least once a month.
  5. Charge your device properly.

These are five basic rules that you should consider when using your tablet.

How to charge iPad

The tablet can be charged using an adapter that connects to a 220 W outlet (usually included with the device) or from a computer via a USB cable.

Charge iPad via adapter. In this case, everything is simple, we connect the iPad to the adapter, then plug it into an outlet, wait for the device to be fully charged. This usually takes about 6 hours.


How to charge iPad - charge iPad with 220W adapter

How to charge iPad from a computer. Everything is just as simple, but there is one "but", you can charge the iPad via USB 2.0 only in standby mode (ie off) because USB port does not have enough power. Charging using this method can take up to 12 hours, and your computer must be turned on.

How to properly charge your ipad

According to experts Li-ion batteries, it is better to charge the battery until it is completely discharged. The remainder of the charge can be as follows 10% and 40% , but try not to let a smaller discharge. Confirmation of my words can be a message on the iPad at a time when the charge remains less than 20%.

I want to draw your attention to the fact that there is a rumor that overcharging the battery has an extremely negative effect on its condition, but this is not entirely true. Everything famous manufacturers a special circuit has been built into the battery for a long time, which allows it to be protected from overcharging.

Also earlier, in metal hydride batteries, the effect was observed "Memory" incomplete charging, but this effect is very negligible in current generation batteries.

Battery capacity in iPad

  • On iPad 3 contains two batteries connected by a common capacity 24.8 Wh., which is approximately 6.613mAh... The operating time of a tablet with such a battery is approximately 10 hours.
  • On iPad 4 this capacity is increased by almost 2 times and thus equals 42 Wh which corresponds to 11.666mAh... Despite the large capacity of the battery, its operating time is about 10 hours, and all due to the fact that the internals of the device consume much more energy.

How to save battery power on iPad and get longer battery life?

Let's take a look at how you can save battery power while using your tablet.

Display. This is the most voracious element that consumes the device's power the most. The brightness setting can be used to reduce this consumption. The brighter the display, the more battery consumption, the dimmer, the less. Thus, your task is to adjust this parameter to suit your eye. To do this, you need to go to "Settings" - "Brightness"... A slider will appear in front of you, moving which, you can change the value of this parameter.


Stay tuned for firmware updates. Try to update the firmware as it comes out new version, since the company is constantly working to improve certain functions that in one way or another may affect the consumption of the charge.

Turn off your 3G adapter. Turn off this adapter when you do not need it at all or there is an alternative to wi-fi. It (3G) consumes too many resources.


Turn off the Wi-Fi adapter. This will save you some of the charge. To turn off Wi-Fi go to "Settings" - "Wi-Fi" and change the position of the switch to "Off" ("Off").


Turn on "Airplane mode". If you are out of range 3G or Wi-Fi Signals, then use the function "Air mode"- this will allow you to maximize your battery savings. Go to "Settings", in the left menu, the very first item in the list will be "Airplane mode", change the switch to "On" ("On").


Disable "Notifications"... Over time, the iPad becomes overgrown with applications, some of them constantly send some kind of notifications to your screen. By disabling them, you can extend the operating time of your iPad. Go to "Settings" - "Notifications" and turn off everything that we do not need.


Disable "Location Services"... Pay attention to those programs that are constantly interested in your location. Disable some of them that do not need this function at all. Go to "Settings" - "Location services".

Disable "Bluetooth". "Settings" - "General" - "Bluetooth" - "Off".

Turn on auto-lock mode. Be sure to enable this mode. Set the values ​​to the smallest interval "2 min." "Settings" - "General" - "Auto-lock" - "Auto-Lock"... Thus, we will force the iPad to turn itself off when we stop using it.

Disable unnecessary sounds. For example, the sounds of the keyboard, turning on and off the device. Go to "Settings" - "General" - "Sounds" - "Sounds" and turn off all unnecessary.

Take away automatic check mail and delete mailboxes which you are not using. "Settings" - "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" - "Fetch New Data", here we change the position "Push" on "Off" ("Off") and set the boot parameter "Manual".

If you have any questions, comments or additions, leave them in the comments.

Tricky question. How many hours does your iPad last?

We work directly with manufacturing plants and offer only high-quality goods,
passed certification. Thanks to this, we can offer you unique, for our
