What Are the New Features in The iPad 2?

By Allan Bree


The iPad 2 has been featured a lot in the news, so most of us know that it now available. There is invariably a lot of hoopla when it comes to Apple products. Apple lovers could be the cause of this or is it actually that their products are so good? I would propose it could be either, talking as an unbiased onlooker in this. Twelve months separate the release dates of the iPad and now the iPad 2. This article, I will look at what has changed with this innovative offering and if switching to the iPad 2 is something you should do.

Regarding the physical size, the iPad 2 is tinier than the first iPad. The size of the screen has remained the same at a decent 9.7 inches; nevertheless, the thickness of this newer model has been reduced by 33% of the original size, which of course is a nice thing. The iPad 2 is likewise weighs less, tipping the scale at just a little more than 600g. Light by any measures. If you handle the iPad and the new iPad 2, the modification in design can be sensed. Don't think a skinnier and lighter design means the operation is affected, because boy oh boy would you be wrong...

It can handle movies in the same way as movies for iphone. The iPad 2 works faster than the initial iPad. For the newest iPad, the performance of the graphics is announced to be nine times as quick according to Apple. If that is accurate, it is a huge leap forward. Gaming requisites and the introduction of cameras is why this had to take place. An A5 chip means that Apple likewise now has a processor that is a lot quicker. The reason it is fast is because the iPad 2 features a dual core A5 processing chip. I surely noted it was faster, even with a lot of programs working in the background. Loading time is quicker and I notice this when using the web and video functions on both iPad models.

The launch of the iPad 2 has also led to the inclusion of two cameras. The cameras are located at the front and at the rear of the device. The first iPad did not have cameras in the least, so this is a major feature if you're bothered about having a camera on your device. There is a difference in that one of the cameras can snap in 720p HD. The iPad 2 has now added FaceTime and Photobooth, giving you the ability to video call and take all kinds of pictures. With FaceTime, the front camera permits your calling partner to watch you and the back camera lets your partner see what you can see, on the back side of the iPad.

If you are able to afford it and want the new speedier processing times then changing from the first iPad to iPad 2 probably makes sense. Whilst the upgrades are an improvement, it's nothing groundbreaking, apart from maybe the camera which is a brand new addition.
