Ondrej Holzman In the coming months, Apple is expected to introduce several new products. Namely the new iPhone, iPad and the new Apple TV. The iPad's form, which we have already told you about, is probably the most frequently addressed informed. But now it seems that everything will be different...
The display of the new iPad gets the most attention, about which everyone says something different. It looks like the new, thinner version of the tablet will actually have a higher resolution than the current model. The resolution will not be dissimilar to that of the iPhone 4, but it will not be true Retina. However, there will definitely be a major increase.
Server & Hosting Macrumors came with an even more detailed report. The resolution of the iPad 2 is said to be double, i.e. 2048 x 1536 (the current model has a resolution of 1024 x 768). This was a very reasonable and logical step on Apple's part, which it also resorted to with iPhones. If the resolution doubles, it will be much easier for developers to optimize their applications than if the ratios were different. A higher resolution would naturally justify why the new iPads will carry a more powerful processor.
The iPad 2 will continue to be 2 inches, as expected it will carry two cameras (front and back) and a new SD card reader. On the contrary, the announced USB port does not appear. The information comes from a relatively reliable source, which has already reported very precisely about the new Apple TV. We also learn that the iPad XNUMX will most likely be ready for sale around April, exactly one year after the first model, as is their custom in Cupertino.
Relatively big changes await us in the upcoming generation of "mobile" devices in terms of chipsets. Apple is already verizon version The iPhone 4 used a CDMA chipset from Qualcomm, while the original device had a GSM chipset from Infineon. All this leads us to the new iPhone, which we can call the iPhone 5. Very little is known about it. Engadget states that it has information about its summer launch, but has not given anything more specific. After all, the iPhone 5 is still relatively far away.
The first prototypes are said to be closely guarded and tested by several Apple employees. The iPhone 5 should bring significant changes in design and a new A5 processor will be hidden inside, which will ensure a further increase in performance. After all, the iPad 2 should also be equipped with this processor. The new iPhone will also have a chipset from Qualcomm, with support for CDMA, GSM and UMTS, so it will not be a problem to sell it simultaneously with several operators (AT&T and Verizon in the USA). Although the switch from Infineon to Qualcomm may seem like a small detail, it is actually one of the most fundamental changes since the first model.
Engadget also informs about the new Apple TV, which should be worked on in Cupertino. Apple TV probably won't miss the new A5 processor, which should be so fast that the second generation of the redesigned TV device will smoothly play video in 1080p.
Translation of the original article with a minimum of own thoughts. Why not read it, let it crunch in your head and write your own opinion or idea. It is enough to read it once and in the original version.
Velsak: well, you see, I enjoyed reading it, because I didn't register the original article ... and I'm not even going to read it now that I read it on the road ... I'd rather read it here than somewhere else ... I don't want to spend so much time on it, to search all possible websites...
Is it going back to the rounded design? I liked the square one and I wouldn't like to go back…
Dave, I'll give you some advice. If you have visited this website, you are probably interested in Apple products. Add macrumors.com or 9to5mac.com to RRS or Twitter. You don't have to fly around the web.
I'm ONLY pointing out zero added value over the original, which is a shame. This is how a blogger or a journalist can be, as well as a bricklayer with a translator.
...hmm, that's possible... and anyone can criticize too!!!
I'm also glad that the article is here... Apart from your irrelevant post, I learned something interesting and new for me...
Nothing bad, but such "digs" are full of p....
Yes, I am interested in Apple products for a short time (I follow information about the iPad for about half a year, I am planning to buy an iPad2), but I only follow about 5 Czech websites about Apple. In addition to this, there are also websites such as mujmac, superapple, LSA, etc. ... I have added your two mentioned links to my favorites, thanks ...

Well, I don't know, if the resolution of the new iPad will be 2048 x 1536, then it is not double, but QUADRUPLED. And that doubling is bullshit. It doesn't matter if the resolution is 1.2x larger, 1.6x or 4x larger. It DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL. The importance is the ASPECT RATIO!
The resolution is always 2x greater. In each direction, the number increased by 2x. What is 4x bigger is the number of pixels. Don't confuse resolution with the number of pixels and then it will be easier for you to understand...
Sure, the number of pixels is 4x more. But you don't understand that the term "resolution" means exactly the number of pixels! (in addition to other data such as aspect ratio) It's like talking to zack in 5th grade. Sure enough, the pixel count doubled in one direction. Just please be aware that there is not one direction, but two. This is as simple as saying that 1m2 and 2m2 are twice the area. There isn't.
But I understand, for someone it is really nice to understand such an elementary fact.
by the way, 2m2 IS twice the area of 2m1 because the rule is that 2/2=1 and not 2.
Otherwise, you are of course right about the distinction.
For the uninitiated: the resolution indicates the number of pixels on one side and on the other. So if I multiply the "rows and columns", I get the total number of pixels - and it will actually be 4x more.
Vrorec: (2048×1536)/(1024×768)=4. The only reason a pixel count is used as a product of two numbers is so that the user knows the aspect ratio.
Comparison: it's like if I take a rectangle and increase its sides A and B by 2x. The result is a new rectangle in which the original rectangle fits 4 times.
Citation:
The resolution of a monitor or display is the number of pixels that can be displayed on the screen. It is often given as the number of columns (horizontally, "X"), which is always listed first, and the number of rows (vertically, "Y")
In other words, you are wrong. The resolution is 4x higher. By the way, on Macrumors they talk about DPI, and that's really double :P :D
I'm glad that we always agree here :) A few days ago, the readers here confirmed why the ipad will of course not have a new display, even though it was clear and presented everywhere that it would be so, and today again that of course it will be a new display. Although it is clear that gossip is gossip, but at least gossip that most people believe :)
Dave, I'm glad that the contribution was finally fruitful.
And for the critics. I'm probably a more demanding reader who wants to provoke the author to better articles, because I like to visit here too. I really don't apologize to everyone I offended with my claims. You jerk your leg :)
I'd tell you something, but I'd rather keep it to myself. There were already those here... So you can also jerk what you want.
I mainly follow this website and I'm glad that someone collects interesting things from elsewhere for me, translates them, sometimes adds their opinion... At least I don't have to search a lot of foreign websites and discuss repetitive articles. I don't have time for that and I like it here. Looks like I'm not alone.
Certainly. But in this article, the opinion of the author is absolutely minimal.
that resolution is quite useless, but the dual core is suitable for FullHD
I just don't know how those who bought an iPad in December in the Czech Republic and Verizon customers will react to the innovation:D
How should they respond? The new iPAD will arrive in CR in a long time, I'm guessing about the holidays, and there is no ipad for CMDA yet, right?
There you go. But it sucks when you buy something and a new model comes out in three months for the same price. It's clear that here you wouldn't have been able to get to him for at least half a year, so it's not such a loss, but the owners of imports from the state will be discussing around you and... it just makes people a little sad. :-)
Sure, but in the case of Apple, you know that a new model comes in annual intervals. Compare it with Samsung - its tablet was released over 3 months ago, and already today there is confirmed information about its arrival. After three months!
but there should be an iPhone 4 for Verizon next month
