iPad is five years old. How Steve Jobs changed the reality – from an Apple fan – naTemat

Fig. Slawomir Kaminski / Agency Newspaper

When exactly five years ago, on 27 January 2010 (yes, it was only five years ago …) Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPad, the Internet, and traditionally a wave of hejtu . “I was so disappointed since I started going out with Snooki The Situation” – wrote in the American edition of “Newsweek” Daniel Lyons. “IPhone on steroids,” added someone else, throwing Network Jobs picture glued together holding Apple phones and presenting them as the iPad. On Twitter one of the most hasztagów that day was #iTampon password. And yet, when the tablet went on sale, hejt passed, and for a long time many people could not imagine life without the iPad. Is now the time to fade away?

How did the iPad? What is the origin
iPada? Very simple: in 2008, when the great strides approaching the presentation of the MacBook Air, Apple has slowly started to think of a new netbook, cheaper than the thinnest laptop in the world. Jony Ive Then, the chief designer of the company, noted that what most bothers the mobility netbook is the keyboard. Why attach it to the screen? – He asked. Apple already possessed multitouch technology, successfully used in the iPhone. “As the largest simplicity!” Commanded Jobs. Such, at least, is the official version. If we przypatrzyć stories for registration with the US Patent Office, the first traces of the iPad, we find already in 2004.



Then, as recalled by Walter Isaacson in his biography of Jobs, Apple’s chief together with Ivo filed an application for registration of a rectangular tablet with rounded corners. And the story itself iPad goes even further, to 2002, when Jobs irritated boast one of the engineers of Microsoft’s boasting about just deflated by Bill Gates tablet with a stylus. Not only Microsoft released last year tablet with a stylus; It also made several other companies and none of these products, as recalled by Isaacson, there was a huge success, or even the announcement of the revolution. “Tablets are attractive for the rich, who already have a lot of other devices” – if Jobs said in an interview.

It’s just that it’s not the biggest problem was the price of the iPad and other tablets, which was preventing producers from serious consideration of their production . The problem was something else: the device can be made, it is true, but, actuall y, I do not know what you can do with it. Exactly five years ago, Jobs described the iPad as “something that is between the MacBook and iPhone”, sent him several emails, scanned photographs and read a couple of articles on the Internet. Not much. For a long time the iPad was considered a waste of money. Why, then, has become a symbol of a crepuscular slow revolution? Helped him to the media.



Moses Jobs
“The last time any board had such an impact on the world, when Moses lifted two from Mount Sinai “- wrote a few days after the entry iPad to shops weekly” Time “. Daniel Lyons, formerly hejter Apple, changed his mind – on his blog described how in Colombia approached by illiterate child and began to play with his tablet: quite intuitively. Newspapers, as usual, took Jobs and his latest product for sale and covers. They did not know yet that is what the delight, soon lead to their downfall, or – a paradigm shift in which they operate. Jobs predicted, however, that a few weeks after the presentation of the unit flew from California to New York.

iPad has already sold a great one million units a month gone, much sooner than in the case of the iPhone and iPod. In New York, Jobs decided to do what I did on the occasion of the placing on the market of a product that has revolutionized the music industry: meet the current szychami the world, in which unknowingly hit. A big shots were not just any: it was Rupert Murdoch of NewsCorp, editor of “The New York Times’ editorial staff of the American” Newsweek “. Jobs goal was clear: “I want to save the media that do not find themselves in the digital world.” Do you saved? Yes, by the way, killing them. I killed one of their most valuable capital.

Enter the iPad meant a slow decline in sales of traditional paper newspapers (to the extent that two years ago the US “Newsweek” announced that it will be sold exclusively in the release for tablets, and after a year of return to traditional form) and the end of traditional subscr iptions. Therefore: also the end of the collection of data by the corporate media about their prenumeratorach; as a result of the revolution, subscribers to become simply Apple Store customers. I – iBooks Store, which accelerated the process of digitization of books, launched earlier by the Kindle. But – caused too, as recalled later, “Slate”, change the model of reading. iPad revolutionized, destroying the everything in its path.



Twilight iPad?
His iPad I bought in 2011 and has served me to this day. Initially, I used it to read books on the way, and for several years I was zaczadzony e-ebooks; only a year ago I started to buy more digital than paper books, giving up on the occasion of subscriptions in Newsstand app – and assuming some in another kiosk. The ordinary, next to my house. Amish strategy? Not really. Rather – what I like affects many throughout the world. Because even though Apple iPad still brings a regular income and a best-selling tablet, for several years its sales decline. In 2013, the company sold nearly 75 million units. In 2014 – ten million less.

iPad kill three things. First of all – the fact that those who a few years ago zachłysnęli the technological revolution is slowly beginning to have her pretty and note that reading traditional books or newspapers is much more pleasant than wgapiania in glowing screen. Secondly  211; Apple itself, with the introduction of the iPhone 6 Plus – phabletu that allows reading content as comfortable as on the iPad, not to mention anything about the iPad mini. Thirdly – competition. Because when the launch of the first phabletu Apple began to develop this with their sectors, tablets clearly neglected. Not neglected their competitors.



According to IDC data from the third quarter of last year, sales increased budget tablet Lenovo or Asus, its place in the market is Samsung. iPad falls all the time, and, analysts predict, could wait it out soon the same fate as the iPod – the product offered by the company, which is not developed, but you can still buy it. And what about the revolution that began five years ago? Well, even if he remains a dead product, it is – will remain a fact.

iPad Pro can get support for stylus – PCLab.pl

According to the latest gossip in the second half of this year, Apple will launch iPad Pro display with a diagonal of 12.9 “. It is a response to the growing demand for the tablets used for work, not fun. It is interesting that some announcement proclaiming that It receives support for stylus, which have never been used by the company from Cupertino. This is confirmed by a recent patent application from Apple.

Reamers are not uncommon and is not equipped in their devices, many manufacturers, For example, Samsung and Microsoft, but it must be remembered that a few years ago, Steve Jobs personally ridiculed additional gadgets to navigate through touch screens and iOS from the beginning was to be adapted only to human fingers. Therefore, recent reports seem to be quite far-fetched but come from a trusted source, which further supports its thesis recently granted Apple patent. By revelations concerning the stylus is Ming Chi Kuo of KGI company that has a lot of knowledge in the industry, including directly from suppliers giant. Usually it is checked the announcement.

he betrayed that the stylus would be an optional accessory that could be purchased additionally included with the tablet. But it is possible that in the future he would become a part of the original package. It all depends on the interest of consumers. The device would be used to communicate Lighting connector. The fact that the product actually goes on sale we will see in a few months, although it seems to be quite likely. At the end of the competition tablets offer similar solutions, and Apple has already shown that he no longer plans adhere to the policy of Steve Jobs on certain issues. Perfect proof of this is the introduction of iPhone’a 5C or iPhone’a 6 Plus .

Way fun – test the iPad 2 and the iPad Air Mini 3 – PC World

First, Apple unveiled the iPad in early 2011 … and it was a hit! Finally we have the small, light and easy to use tablet. Since then, every year there are new models, and This latest Air iPad 2 and iPad Mini 3 . Is it worth it, however, to replace its current on new Apple tablet?



Even more thin and light

The first iPad was about 1.3 cm thick. Since then, the iPad became more flat. Model Air 2 compared to its predecessor is a good millimeter thinner and device now has a thickness of 6.1 mm . Supersmukłej housing fell victim to the mute button. Now, to mute the iPad, you need to take advantage of the quick settings menu. Air 2 lost weight by 30 grams and LTE version weighs 444 grams only . In practice, however, it is difficult to notice the difference. Good news – the housing is as scratch resistant as its predecessor. The new model comes in three variants of internal memory: 16, 64 and 128 GB, and also available with LTE module for mobile surfing. You should know that the model without LTE is also deprived of the GPS receiver and do not use it for a typical navigation.



Improved screen

The resolution and screen size remained unchanged, the Air 2 displays 2048 x 1536 pixels on the screen almost 25-centimeter diagonal. These parameters, however, quietly enough for detailed display of excellent quality.

 01smartcover.jpg Screen Protection Smart Cover for the new iPad Air 2 occurs in seven colors . Practical feature: expensive plastic case (169 zł) automatically turns on when you open the iPad.

Advantage: reflection of the new display is about two-thirds lower than in iPad Air. Thus, although the display is not completely free of reflections, but outside or in rooms with ceiling lights reflections almost do not interfere. In terms of color and contrast odzworowania almost nothing has changed – but these parameters in the first Air and Retina models (iPad 3 and 4) were really good.

 02ekran.jpg Display iPad Air 2 (right) reflects much less light nż previous models, to such as the iPad Air (left)

More power, faster wi-fi

Air iPad 2 is the fastest processor Apple marked A8X . Although he has still only two cores and is clocked at a maximum speed of 1.5 GHz, but in spite of it belongs to the currently fastest processors in tablets. In comparison with the first Air new processor almost 50 percent faster, and more than ten times faster than the first iPad. It looks good in benchmarks such as Geekbench or V8, but in practice between the two models Air almost no difference: when you turn on the new iPad Air 2 was up to 14 seconds faster than its predecessor, but this step is done very rarely. Compared with older models of iPad difference in performance is, however, felt – iPad 4 especially in games was much slower and older models, or iPad 1 and 2, were slower in almost any application.

Wi-Fi iPad 2 ac Air through technology has become faster and has a longer range. In the space connection lasted up to 225 meters – less than 60 meters more than its predecessor. Data transmission through two walls reached nearly 40 Mb / s.

tutorial-buyer-S.jpg smaller perseverance

Along with the thickness of the housing of the model to model but slightly decreases battery life . iPad 4 practical test has withstood more than 18 hours, the iPad Air was 17 hours, and air 2 in the test reached only 15 hours. It’s a decent value, but does not impress. For comparison Lenovo Yoga 10 withstood the test until 21 hours . While surfing over Wi-Fi battery empties seven hours – in previous models was to eight and a half hours. While watching the video iPad Air 2 work more than surfing the web, here in the test battery has run out after ten hours.



The new camera is hardly better

The camera on the back is now 8 megapixels, but its photo in practice does not look better than the pics from the old Air and do not come close to the quality of the iPhone 6 Plus . New in the iPad is a function of shooting and recording video in slow motion. If you like loud music, better not set at maximum volume, because the output voltage of the headphone jack in the test was almost 300 mV. With high performance headphones will be really loud.



Few new iPad Mini

The third edition of the iPad mini has brought little new processor and the screen remained unchanged. What is new is the home button with integrated fingerprint reader. Instead of entering a code to unlock the iPad or buy in iTunes, simply place your finger now. Also new: Wi-Fi is now in the current standard ac. The test resulted in a little more reach and clearly higher speed. However, while surfing the Internet hardly notice the speed increase. If you do not want to have udogonieniach, better to buy the iPad mini 2 and save $ 400 at the same time. The weakest iPad mini 2 with 16 GB of memory and Wi-Fi costs only 1299 dollars.



Summary

There is no doubt – the new iPad is the absolute top among the tablets and the iPad Air 2 dumps her predecessor in the first place ranking. Directly behind them, knocking the iPad mini 3. But Apple’s superior performance makes stiff fees. mini iPad 3 with 128 GB of storage and transmission costs 2999 gold LTE and iPad Air 2 until 3399, respectively.
