Yes, I know, iPad Pro does not exist and all the rumors about him may be worth button. Recently, however, these rumors are confirmed in reality. What would happen if the iPad Pro actually existed and would soon debut on the market? This means that Microsoft won. Only the fruits of his victories are already rotten and inedible.
Apple is a company that no doubt has much more hejterów than I deserved it. It has its flaws, but in the end its products are of high quality and are fulfilling their role and promise that we folded. Writing that these devices and related programs and services are of the highest quality on the market this truism. Just as the claim that certain categories of products Apple created a completely new. Even smart watches in modern form appeared on the market just because the networks credible rumors circulated about a man named “iWatch”.
Hejterzy quite rightly pointed out that Apple actually “invented nothing”. There were tablets before the iPad, smartphones existed before the iPhone, and the iPod is no longer at all a strange, worse still closely linked to the iTunes freak of nature. But they forget how they looked and what these products offered on the market before Apple stepped in and overturned it upside down. Visionary Steve Jobs and subject him to the people is indisputable. Even for someone like me who prefers to solve a completely different company.
Steve Jobs, unfortunately, is no longer among us. His role took an outstanding manager Tim Cook. And although well suited to their role and leads his company to even greater success, so on happiness and unhappiness, Steve Jobs is not. Apple also ceased to be the only innovative “e-mail” company in the world. One of his rivals by Microsoft. And he also created an entirely new product category. Such, for which Apple is not fully understood reasons, had not yet prepared a response.
Hybrids and the blurring of distinctions between devices
When being on a slippery slope acute Microsoft unveiled Windows 8 and the Surface ‘ and, part of the world looked at it with polite interest, she saw a small portion of this potential, and the rest laughed. Since that time, a dispute broke out between supporters of universal and specialized equipment. Apple ferował view that the smartphone is a smartphone, tablet is a tablet and the computer is a computer and there is no reason that these devices connect to each other (although not had such a view on the absorption of GPS navigation or MP3 players via smartphones and tablets).
This is the attitude primarily on the hardware: it was he who for Apple’s core product is on offer, and software and services are only increase its sales. The device is less perfect hybrid of specialized hardware: Surface and its clones is heavier, thicker and less handy than wygodniutkiego iPad.
Microsoft, in turn, as a company dealing primarily then the software and services focuses on upchnięcie as many of these elements on the smallest surface. The more data the device can perform a task, the better. And that is twice thicker and requires active cooling? Whatever, whatever. Microsoft today is faithful to its philosophy and believes that the main distinction between the devices should be their diagonal … taking into consideration an optional, external display.
But time is on the side of Microsoft
Tim Cook he was right, he verified this market. People prefer light, handy and neat device, instead of thick bricks offering opportunities that 90 per cent. time use of such a device and so its owner does not use. In favor of Microsoft and its partners, he speaks future, and in fact, it is already present. Processes IC manufacturers are increasingly powerful and cheaper. And that means that in the light, thin device can squeeze much more power and functionality than ever before. This in turn means that the multi-purpose hybrid tablet with Windows can be just as sexy as the iPad Air.
Tim Cook is not dead and is well aware that further increasing image detail or same-free computing power is somewhat not enough to purchase a new version of the iPad made sense. You have to take advantage of new opportunities of integrated circuits. Until recently, the competition of ideas expressed himself like this:
Today, Apple’s actions belie this little nasty and very swaggering utterances. However, the smartphone can be used as part of the functions of the tablet (iPhone 6 Plus), netbooks, however, have a certain sense (the latest small MacBook), music on demand, however, is not obscene idea (Apple Music). However, there remain hybrids. And here comes the alleged and confirmed the rumors (sic) from several reliable sources the iPad Pro.
iPad Pro, like the Surface RT
iPad Pro will be 12.9-inch tablet hybrid. The screen size is not dictated by the need to ensure a comfortable content consumption, because this tablet will no longer This super to hold in your hand. The only explanation for this version of the iPad, the desire to increase the convenience of working on applications for productivity from the App Store. Managing the operating system (and that’s official news) will also finally able to display multiple applications on the screen in a way very similar to Windows RT and Windows 8. Actually, I like to think of it, the whole idea for the iPad Pro can be compared to the first Surface ‘and RT, which also had included a stylus Wacomu.
Apple will therefore be measured with the difficulties that Microsoft has solved a long time ago. How to reconcile the touch-screen interface with the necessity of precision in the work we give trackpad and keyboard? How to solve a multitude of multitasking and screen diagonals in the context of the runtime environment for application? Which parts of OS X and iOS should be shared and what should be separated? Windows 10 has solved these problems, both internally and for application developers. Is a mature, well-designed, proven solution.
But what of that, since Apple is Apple. Again, Tim Cook is a company upset the market, while others will imitate it and again sales results glide up, and hybrids of Windows, as always, will be able to envy the success of iPadowi (Pro). I wonder just how much time this company can pull only on the power of its brand. Nokia’s embarrassed iPhone and BlackBerry, as the iPad device with Windows XP Tablet Edition or various Creative’y iPod and other Grajki. Note the gulf which existed between the compared here Apple and competitive solutions.
This Contrast this with Apple Watch vs. Wear Android device, iPhone 6 Plus vs Galaxy Note and finally iPad vs. Surface Pro 3. Apple can not forever to save the world and make the whole time of great innovation. Google and Microsoft but doing it for a long time. Apple did not “end” and still far from being “finished”. Tim Cook, head of the incredibly rich, probably the most powerful company in the world still has a long time to develop and implement a strategy for further development.
At some point, however, there comes a moment when you realize that król It is naked. And I am very curious how Apple will bypass the problem of not having counterparts Azure’a whether Google’s database, how to solve the problem of blurring of hardware differences between different categories of devices and finally, resulting from the above and many others, increasing dependence on subcontractors and third party software providers and services. Which include, among others, Samsung and Microsoft.
Meanwhile, smutna, Sitting in a corner of the Microsoft corporation can enter yourself wiping away a tear to run on the Surface pamiętniczka that the iPad Pro at least act onedrive Office, Skype and others. Although, if the deeper you think about it, this is also a growing problem of Apple.
