Apple Releases the new iPad Air

apple-ipad-air-1

On October 22nd, Apple announced that their newly anticipated iPad will be released on November 1st of this year. This new iPad will consist of many new features, but the most important feature would be the light weight of the product. Other features of the iPad Air include the new 64 bit A7 processor alongside the M7 co-processor, retina display and LTE support. At this point, many of you might say “Wait, didn’t the previous iPad have majority of those features?!”, and I most certainly agree. The new iPad did not have a major upgrade for a device that had so much potential to show off as a new generation tablet with state of the art features.

I honestly believe Apple had a flop with this product, where their might be many customers who will purchase this product, due to their attachment to Apple’s line of product, but their definitely will be those who will not purchase this item due to the iPad Air’s lack of new features. And you can count on the fact that I might be one of the few that do not go head on to purchase this new iPad Air. I am honestly a huge fan of Apple’s line of products, but I was very disappointed with this one, as Apple could have added more exclusiveness to this device. There are many new features Apple could have added, such as the newly hyped fingerprint scanner and the dual-flash camera features from the iPhone 5s. By creating whole new iPad, which could have included features from iPhone 5s and this whole new light weight on the iPad, I believe Apple would have made the right decision and their sales would have had more chance of increasing for their iPad Air product.

On the other hand, I believe Apple is running out of ideas, where I personally feel like this new light weight iPad is unnecessary. For example, I never heard of anyone complaining about the previous full iPad about its weight or saying anything like, “Oh, I can’t bring my iPad to work today due to its weight”. Like c’mon, is this whole new light weight tablet really really necessary? Apple is most certainly wasting their time and energy on useless products such as this.

I recently sat down with one of my co-workers to discuss her interest in Apple’s line of products for the iPad. From what I know she is a huge fan of iPads, where she had almost all of the previous generations iPads that have been released. I asked her a good dozen questions, but one of the main question I asked her was, “What would you have liked to see on the new iPad release they just announced?”. She replied with a simple answer, “The fingerprint scanner from the iPhone 5S”. Right then I noticed that I am not the only one who was disappointed with the results of the new iPad Air. Through out the interview, she also mentioned that she never had any problem with the weight of the iPad and also said how she will pass on the new iPad Air this year, where she is happy and satisfied with the iPad 3 she currently owns.

I really hope Apple plans stepping their game up as times continues, where they add the features on their iPad line very slowly, just like putting retina display on its iPads much later than the iPhone 4 released with its retina display. And most likely they will end up putting the fingerprint scanner on the iPad one year from now, which is honestly too late.

Welcome to Apple’s two new products: The iPhone 5S & 5C!

iphone-5s

I’m sure all of you have either owned an iPhone, seen an iPhone or maybe even touched an iPhone at least once in your life. If you haven’t, then you must be living under a rock… Where Apple’s iPhone has been one of Apple’s most famous and highest selling product for the last 6 years now.

It all began with the 1st generation iPhone in 2007, then iPhone 3G is 2008, 3GS in 2009, 4 in 2010, 4S in 2011, 5 in 2012 and now two different iPhone models releasing in one year, which is the iPhone 5S & 5C. This is the first time Apple has decided to release two things that were irregular on their behalf, first releasing two models of an iPhone at the same year and second is changing their iOS into a completely different user platform than from the iOS versions from before. The new iOS 7 contains countless number of cool features and is on the verge of breaking records.

Yes, the iOS 7 by itself will do Apple justice for the new iPhone 5S, but right then Apple decided to increase the 5S’s “coolness” to a higher level, as Tim Cook introduced 3 Solid New Features of the iPhone 5S. First is the brand new 64 Bit A7 chip processor working with the new Motion co-processor called the M7 chip. Second is the new upgraded iSight Camera with multiple interesting new features and finally third is the amazing Touch ID, which simply is a fingerprint scanner made for security purposes on your iPhone.

A7 Chip:

The A7 chip processor is the world’s first 64-bit processor, which will increase your smartphone’s speed by a large notch. The A7 chip is aligned with the brand new M7 chip that basically will know when you’re walking, running or even driving. This M7 chip will come in real handy at times for GPS purposes and even saving your battery life, where the M7 chip is capable of knowing when the phone hasn’t been touched in awhile, therefore lowers the network pinging to spare the battery life.

iSight Camera:

The new iSight camera has various cool features, where they have left the megapixels of it as 8MP but has increased the quality of the pictures. Apple believes megapixels are overrated, where great quality pictures doesn’t just come from the megapixels, but more from the factors supporting the megapixels, such as the lighting, microns and the aperture. The new iSight camera also includes larger sensor, pixels and aperture, Continuous Burst mode, True tone flash, Auto image stabilization, Slow-motion video recording, Live video zoom, Square pictures, panorama photos and filters for pictures.

Touch ID:

Security is a big factor in life, especially in cell phones, where no one likes people snooping through their phone without permission. Apple made sure the fingerprint scanner would be somewhere on the iPhone 5S that is plain, simple and easy to use, which is definitely the home button. Where now instead of typing in a short or long password, you will be able to quickly scan your finger and access your data on the iPhone. Making life become so much easier and secure.

The iPhone 5S is a beautiful and amazing phone; it reflects more of how things will be in the future and is currently moving upwards. The 5S will come in 3 colors, Black, Silver White and Gold. Giving Apple an extra cool color addition to their collection of iPhone’s. The iPhone 5S is set to be released in the U.S during September 20, alongside with the iPhone 5C, which includes the same features of the current iPhone 5 and it also comes in various colors.

So personally, I think everyone should take a look into this new iPhone and actually see if it will benefit their needs and then go for it by purchasing it.
