Well, Flash still exists..
Yep. Still entice and buggy as ****
Well, Flash still exists..
I have never thought for a moment that my iPad 3 or mini was slow, so I am interested to know how these results work in real world application.
Meaning that the speed of my web browser is often determined by the speed of my ISP, so how useful is this speed in reality?
Everything else is just App's opening and closing in simple terms (which is pretty fast anyway) and then App's running as they are designed to run, regardless of processor speeds.
When I went from an iPad 3 to an iPad 4, I really noticed the difference. Im talking from my perspective/end user experience, not benchmarks.
Not only did the upgrade pretty much do away with any kind of stutter or lag, a number of apps (mostly photo/video or games with complex 3D) were way faster (less time to render, improved frame rates), and a few game even had better graphic (more detailed textures for example), and even a few everyday tasks like web browsing were improved.
FWIW, both tablets running iOS6.
So moving to an iPad Air will be all that much better for real world performance, plus from an iPad 3 youre losing over 0.4 lbs, getting a better front and rear camera, better microphone setup, and if youre already on other lightening port iOS devices, you get closer to cable consolidation![]()
Im probably going to upgrade our 4th gen, but I _think_ Im going to try a Mini now thats its retina (and likely doesnt give up much in terms of performance to the Air).
? Do you know something specific, or assuming stuffs? Unless you can explain based on how rendering works in safari, you're just throwing some facts together hoping it makes sense.
If you make a bigger hard drive but with the same physical dimensions using a different build process, then yes, it IS innovation. Or is the retina display not a innovation as well? How about what Intel has been doing for the past 25+ years with x86 chips.
Making UI more intuitive is an UI improvement. Implementing new features is a features improvement.
Let say I add a physical button on side of the IPad which turns the WiFi on and off, would that be an innovation? I added a feature and more intuitive UI...
Please help me if I'm not understanding this definition...
It seems like being the 1st to bring 64 bit to a tablet makes it a "new idea"??
Apparently you are the expert though, so I will await your further elucidation.
I disagree. A technological improvement is innovation when you do not use the same process to get to the same (or improved) end result.
So, making a new chip is innovation. Perhaps making the same chip faster (overclocking) is not.
This iPad is damn near all new: new form factor, new chips architecture, etc., all while maintaining the functionality of previous versions. This is a vastly different iPad that does the same things, albeit faster and more efficiently and in a more comfortable package. So, it "does something in a new way". And what it took to get there is also innovative.
Alright, so every single time Samsung increases performance with a new chip are you going to praise them for innovating?

Of course. When Apple does it, it is a useless gimmick. When Samsung does it a year later, it is innovation.
Not at all. I'm surprised by the high number of likes your comment got as it's incorrect information. Read Anandtech's review of the 5s and note how the A7 is able to load pages impressively fast:
"Web browsing is ultimately where I noticed the A7's performance the most. As long as I was on a good internet connection, web pages just appeared after resolving DNS."
That's why Samsung cheats on benchmarks. (They built the names of several popular benchmarks into their OS, and when you start an app with one of those names, they crank up the clock speed with disregard of heat and battery life to get higher scores).
Hmmm didn't know that. Just curious if u have a source
How can my comment "..the speed of my web browser is often determined by the speed of my ISP...", be incorrect information?
When I am at home, or on a WIFI broadband connection [UK], all my devices run significantly faster than they do on 3G, or using my 3G MIFI dongle for my iPads. In fact I have no issue with my browser speeds on high speed broadband connections.
I also notice a huge difference when I regularly stay in rural France, as they can only push out 5MB (maximum) speed to my property.
So I stand by my comment as it is correct, in my applications and observations.
All of a sudden your 3rd gen will feel slow.
serious?
this year the mini is more impressive in my eyes.
And you make my point exactly... It is not slow.., just slower than the latest faster model.
Like comparing a ferrari and a Lamborghini. Only people who have no real appreciation of cars and only care for statistics are bothered if one is 10-20MPH faster than another. Additionally, it makes no difference to a road car used to get to work and back if one can do 100mph or 200mph, because you will never in reality be able to drive at 200mph for any length of time.
In reality the speed as you point out makes no real difference and you will be hard pushed to notice the difference unless you are racing side by side. You do not care if you are driving about in the car and are oblivious to the speed differences and would hardly think of trading it in because another model or make is a little faster.
You need to perhaps read my original post, to understand my point as you are the one re-qouting on mine, without understanding it fully.
But, as this point who cares?
The car anology is just plain wrong. Cars are driven on roads with limits (in most of the world).
This shows just how bad the iPad mini was, and the 3rd gen iPad!
