Intense afternoon yesterday in which Apple decided to surprise us with many more news than we can expect during a month of March. Many are the devices and ranges that have been affected by these novelties in the catalog, but without a doubt the most benefited device is the iPad, which sees a new device coming and says goodbye to the odd one. Because, We want to make a compilation of how the iPad range looks after the renovation that the guys from Cupertino offered us yesterday, as well as keeping you informed of the new prices and capacities that they will hold.
So we go there one by one with the new devices that the apple company has left us in its catalog, so that it is easier for us to choose between them.
IPad Pro stays as it was
The iPad Pro range came to captivate a demanding audience. We will have two devices, a 9,7-inch 2048 x 1536 resolution and a large 12,9-inch iPad with 2732 x 2048 resolution, Of course, what screen is not going to be missing. As for the small model, we can get it in silver, gold, space gray and rose gold. Not so with the 12,9-inch model that is missing one of the colors, rose gold is not present in the largest of the iPads.
In terms of storage, we will have more or less the same capacities as in the rest of the iOS devices that are now available: 32GB, 128GB and 256GB, both for the WiFi models and for those that include mobile connectivity. To perform tasks, both count with the A9X processor and an integrated M9 coprocessor which makes them the most powerful tablets on the market, without a doubt.
And finally, in terms of camera we have 12MP (the same as the iPhone 6s) for the 9,7-inch iPad Pro, one with only 8MP (the same as the iPhone 5s) for the 12,9-inch, although certainly the camera will not be too important an incentive to get hold of them. 4K recording for the 9,7-inch iPad and Full HD recording for the 12,9-inchPaired with both a FaceTime HD camera, 5MP and 1,2MP respectively, the camera on the 9,7-inch iPad Pro is undoubtedly superior across the board.
- Prices:
- iPad Pro 9,7: From 679 euros
- iPad Pro 12,9: From 899 euros
«The iPad» is back
Apple has decided to kill the iPad Air 2, one of the devices that has lasted the longest in the Cupertino company's catalog. However, it is still giving a spectacular performance. Despite this, Apple has wanted to introduce small tweaks and change the storage, more or less like what it did with the iPhone SE in its day. Thus, the iPad cIt will be with an A9 processor replacing the previous one from the iPad Air 2, preserving the same characteristics of the retina screen (2048 x 1536) and literally increasing its autonomy up to 10 hours.
In the same way, it is time to say goodbye to the entry model, 16GB gives way to about 32GB of storage in the entry model (There will only be a 32GB and 128GB option). However, the memory of the iPad Air 2 returns if we consider that the chassis is identical, in fact, the rose gold color does not reach this new device.
This new iPad will hit our shelves from March 24, starting from 399 euros for the 32GB model with WiFi connection, or 559 euros for the model with mobile connectivity.
IPad mini withstands the onslaught
The fourth generation iPad Mini is still present. The difference this time around is that it's time to say goodbye to any model below 128GB (and above as well). Now going to cost no less than 479 euros, which does not make it the most interesting alternative of those that we are offering you. It seems that the iPad mini is giving the last blows of life before saying goodbye, leaving residual only one model for those who are willing to pay for it.
Good grief, what a means of misinformation. How can you say that the new iPad has the same screen as the Air 2? If it is precisely one of the points where they have reduced costs. They have removed the integral lamination and the oleophobic cover, because what I understand is that the screen is that of the original Air. And considering its dimensions, it is more than obvious. The only different good thing you have is that it has the 6s processor and allows the Oye Siri without being connected to the power, because for performance purposes, at least in the graphic aspect, the differences are negligible with the A8x of the Air 2 ( it is more, less for the manufacturing technology, that the A9 is 14nm and the A8x 20nm, I would say that the A8x is better, at least in power).
Between this and the "new" capabilities of the iPad mini 4…. Buuuff, you are crowning yourselves.
In terms of resolution the screen is the same. What is not the same is the ensemble, which is not necessarily worse, because if you listened to our Podcast last night we were talking at length about it.
PS: It does have an oleophobic layer.
