Michal Ždanský Not always all things come to the surface during the presentation of the product, and Apple does not boast about everything right away. We have written down a few other interesting facts about yesterday's keynote for you.
- The iPad probably has 1024MB of RAM. President of the company Epic Games Mike Capps said at the keynote that the iPad has more memory and a higher resolution than the Playstation 3 or the Xbox 360. The Xbox has 512 MB of RAM. Increasing the RAM memory is quite logical, if only because of the higher resolution and therefore greater demands on the operating memory.

- The new iPad is slightly thicker and heavier. It is not surprising that Apple did not boast about it, however, the parameters have increased a little. The thickness has increased from 8,8 mm to 9,4 mm and the weight has increased by 22,7 g. However, despite the greater thickness, most accessories will be compatible with the new iPad, such as the Smart Cover.
- We also find Bluetooth 4.0 in the tablet. Although Apple did not mention it, the new version of the protocol can already be found in the iPad. Bluetooth 4.0 was the first Apple product to appear in the iPhone 4S and is primarily characterized by low consumption and significantly faster pairing.
- The front camera lens has not changed, unlike the rear iSight camera. It is still VGA resolution.
- In iPhoto for iOS, we may see the first hint of a departure from Google Maps and the possibility of introducing its own map service. Already we wrote earlier, that Apple could leave Google Maps due to strained relations with Google due to Android, which was evidenced by the acquisition of several companies involved in the development of map materials. The source of the maps is officially unknown, although journalist Hoger Eilhard discovered that the materials are downloaded directly from Apple's servers, specifically from the address gsp2.apple.com. So it's possible that Apple will announce its own map service in iOS 6.
Update: As it turned out, these are not Apple's own map materials, but maps from the open-source OpenStreetMap.org. However, the maps aren't exactly up to date (2H 2010) and Apple didn't even bother to mention the origin of the maps.
- The new iPad will be able to share the Internet connection with other devices as a personal hotspot via WiFi, Bluetooth or a USB cable. iPhones have the same function
3GS4 and later. However, older iPad generations will probably not get tethering. - Regarding the internals of the new Apple TV, Tim Cook was relatively tight-lipped, however, inside the box beats a modified single-core Apple A5 chip, which handles 1080p video playback without any problems. He revealed this fact directly on his website in the product specification. Owners of the older 2nd generation also received the update, which will bring the change in the graphical interface that Tim Cook presented.
- After the keynote, Phil Schiller clarified why the new iPad has no marking. He specifically said: "We don't want his name to be predictable." This is somewhat related to the secrecy that Apple is famous for. The iPad thus ranks alongside other Apple products, such as the MacBook or iMac, which are designated only by the year of release. We could call the new iPad "iPad early-2012".
- Together with iOS, Apple also updated the terms of iTunes. What's new is the option to try a subscription for free, which publishers can add to their magazines. A few new things happened in the App Store as well. It is now possible to download applications up to 50 MB in size via mobile internet. The iPad app ranking has received a minor facelift, which does not duplicate the style of the iPhone, but offers a matrix of six apps in each category (paid and free), where you can display the next six with a horizontal swipe of your finger.
- The iMovie update added the creation of trailers that we know from iMovie '11 for Mac. This is a ready-made concept into which you just need to insert individual images and inscriptions. The trailers also include custom music. World composers of film symphonic music are responsible for this, including Hans Zimmer, the composer of the music for K To the dark knight, The beginning, Gladiator or to Pirates of the Caribbean.
iMovie is now also for iPad, I mean the first generation. Drive was not like that. Pleased..
Well, now in the App Store it seems that iMovie is no longer available for the first generation iPad. As?
"The new iPad will be able to share the Internet connection with other devices as a personal hotspot via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or a USB cable. The iPhone 3GS and later have the same function.
The iPhone 3GS cannot and will never be able to do a wifi hotspot.
Thanks, fixed.
iPhone 3GS supports tethering, of course, from version 4.3, official support is also listed on Apple Support. The only necessity is operator support (On SK I support both, on CR I don't know, but it is supported on the iPhone as such.)

Sorry, wifi hotspot is not working, mea culpa.
For me, 3GS with CZ O2 prepaid works like HotSpot, only without JB.
Like a wifi hotspot? Can you please describe how you did it? It would be very useful for me…
However, hotspot via bluetooth and USB works.
You have an error here. You write that the processor in the 3rd generation iPad contains 1 CPU core and you refer to Apple's site, which is bullshit :) the processor of The New iPad contains 2 CPU cores :) proof: http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
We don't, we're talking about Apple TV here, not the new iPad ;-)
"The iPad thus ranks alongside other Apple products such as the MacBook or the iMac,...."
As far as I know, the MacBook will no longer be produced or sold for some time.
MacBook generally means a laptop from Apple, which includes the Air and Pro.
How much do you estimate the price of the cheapest New Ipad model in our country? I wouldn't hesitate for the American price :-(
You don't have to write iPad early 2012, just iPad 2012. Or do you think there will be another one this year? :-)
Well, on the one hand, Apple wants to be unpredictable, but they didn't help themselves ;) now we'll just know that we're waiting for the iPad and that's it ;) we don't have to argue about the name anymore, so I don't know what they've solved, but I think this attitude rather, they emphasized with that invitation, which deliberately did not contain many elements. BTW I'm really looking forward to the Dungeons game, I hope it won't be as boring as Infinity Blade, which when it came out as Epic Citadel almost promised an amazing RPG and ended up being a humus thresher, I did play it, graphically stunning game, but RPG elements and dozens hours of playing unfortunately sucks... I would like Dungeons to be a game with a story of perhaps hundreds of hours with a large world. Sort of like Neverwinter Nights. If someone would deign to make, say, NWN 3 on the iPad with such graphics and a luxurious story, I would gladly give 50 USD for it.
