Is The iPad 2 Worth Upgrading To?

By Thea Boyce


The iPad 2 has been featured a lot in the news, so almost of us know that it now available. There is constantly plenty of media coverage of anything Apple do. Apple buffs could be the cause of this or is it truly that their product releases are so good? I would suggest it could be one or the other, speaking as a neutral in this. One year separates the release dates of the iPad and now the iPad 2. Today, I will look at what has changed with this innovative release and if switching to the iPad 2 is a good idea.

When it comes to physical size, the iPad 2 is smaller in comparison to the original iPad. The iPad 2 is thinner by roughly one third of the original although the screen dimensions stay the same. At only 600 grams, the iPad 2 is not as heavy. Light by any criteria. These alterations are touchable as I observed by holding the iPad and iPad 2. Don't think a skinnier and less heavy design means the operation is affected, because boy oh boy would you be incorrect...

It can handle movies in the same way as movies for iphone. The new iPad is in reality a great deal quicker than the first one. First, Apple brags that its graphics processor is nine times quicker than the original iPad. This is a considerable improvement if we believe that as read. The reason for this progress is for demanding games and the camera, which we'll talk about shortly. The processor is likewise much quicker, as Apple have advanced from the old A4 chip to an A5 chip. The reason for it being quick is because the iPad 2 has a dual core A5 processing chip. I definitely noticed it was zippier, even with a lot of applications running in the background. If I use the various media on the first model and then the newer iPad, the faster load speed time is noticeable.

The availability of the iPad 2 has as well led to the addition of two cameras. The first camera is on the front side and the other is on the rear. If you like having the idea of having a camera, then you will like this modification of stance as when the iPad was first released, there were no cameras. One camera shoots 720p HD and the second camera isn't as wonderful. FaceTime and PhotoBooth are a couple of new additions to the iPad which allow you to make video calls and shoot fascinating photos, respectively. The back camera, when using FaceTime on the iPad, exposes where you are as opposed to the front camera that permits you see each other.

In sum, I would personally advise changing over from the original iPad to the iPad 2 if you have the money, however if you're not interested in slightly faster loading times then don't bother. If we disregard the cameras, then the alterations are not groundbreaking but do make it a better model.
