iPad 2 has been launched a day ago and already is set to eliminate the original Apple tablet. People were waiting eagerly to know what new features would be available in iPad 2 and moreover how does it compare to the original iPad, what will they get if they trade their old reliable iPad with iPad 2? Here is our run-down of everything you need to know about their similarities and differences.
There are a few things which have not changed between iPad and iPad2.the display of iPad 2 is exactly the same as its predecessor. The resolution too remains the same with 1024 x 768 pixel resolution. The next thing that remains the same is the storage options of 16, 32, and 64GB. Your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will remain unchanged too. Accelerometer is also the same at 3-axis, and you will be able to get your iPad in black color. Although Apple isn’t delivering better battery performance from the perspective of hour on hour, the importance of the achievement here is that Apple has managed to deliver equal battery performance from a device much smaller than iPad.
Now we talk about the improvements iPad 2 has over iPad. The biggest difference between the two being iPad 2′s new processor, the 1GHz dual-core A5 CPU, which succeeds the A4 which was found in iPad. the dual core A5 is twice as fast as the single core A4 of iPad. The graphic performance has said to be improved nine times faster. This makes a very big difference in the speed and performance of iPad2 especially regarding games. Comparing the measurements of the two devices, it can be said that the iPad 2 is thinner and lighter than its predecessor. The iPad 2 is 33 per cent thinner than the iPad and measures 8.8mm thick compared to the i Pad’s 13.4mm, and it is also up to 15 per cent lighter than the original tablet by Apple. The iPad 2 is available both in black or white colors, whereas the original was in black only. In the iPad 2 you get a gyroscope whereas iPad 1 did not include any. One weak point of the original iPad is its small single speaker which is not loud enough. The new iPad 2 will have a larger and louder speaker so you can watch movies without having to use ear buds or plug in an external speaker. Perhaps the most obvious addition made in iPad 2 feature-wise is the addition of two new cameras for photos, webcam chat and video recording. The back-facing HD camera in iPad2 records video in 720p at up to 30fps and also works as a still camera, although Apple hasn’t yet announced its megapixel count. The front-facing camera has VGA-quality video and stills. Video out support has been upgraded to 576p where the original iPad has up to 1080p.Apple has addressed the screen scratch issues regarding the original tablet by launching anew accessory called smartcover. It is a light weight display cover available in 5 colors. When the Smart Cover is removed and attached, the iPad 2 automatically awakes and sleeps. Smart cover can also covert into a mini stand for the iPad.
In short we can see the differences as:-
- iPad 2 is slimmer by 33% measuring 8.8 mm in thickness compared to 13.4 of iPad1
- iPad 2 supports gyroscope which was not there in iPad1.
