Il thermalgate del nuovo iPad

Geek   21.03.12  

Ecco perché il nuovo iPad è più caldo, 33,6 °C rispetto ai 28,3 °C di iPad 2.

1. Twice the LEDs: That means more heat coming from more LEDs. This is especially a problem at full brightness.

2. 2.5X the power needed: The brightness efficiency is lower because the new iPad has more pixels (which means more transistors) compared to the iPad 2. More pixels and transistors take up more space, meaning less opportunity for light to pass. "So they basically have to blast light through the LCD to make it come out." Soneira adds: "I measured the LED power at maximum brightness–it's two and a half times greater than on the iPad 2."

3. Battery generates more juice: The battery has to push out more power. This makes the battery warmer.

4. Traditional LCD technology: Sharp's power-efficient IGZO technology was not ready for the new iPad. That forced Apple to use traditional–and less power efficient–amorphous silicon tech.[To be fair the older iPads also used this tech but perhaps Apple was hoping to go 100% IGZO to offset the above].

Il nuovo nome di iPad

Geek   08.03.12  

Una spiegazione originale sulla scelta di apple di chiamare il suo nuovo tablet Nuovo iPad.

Short term, that may be a little confusing. Presumably, Apple will eventually quit calling this thing "the new iPad" and just refer to it as the iPad. And when it does, that's going to be kind of weird because Apple is still selling the iPad 2. (At least for now.) In six months, will you be choosing between an iPad and an iPad 2, with the iPad being the newer, better model? Do they just plan on calling it "new" until iPad 2 inventory runs dry? That's going to take some shaking out.

But long term, it makes sense. Think about the iPhone. The iPhone 4S is the fifth generation iPhone, which would make an iPhone 5, if there was to be one, the sixth generation iPhone. See? Confusing! Which is why folks are already predicting that the next iPhone will simply be called iPhone, and not iPhone 5. Simple.
