The new iPad under the microscope
If you interpreted the title as an in-depth review of the new iPad, you are mistaken and (although you can keep an eye out for our iPad review which will be up on Ubergizmo.com soon!) I don’t think you will regret reading what we have to say here about the new iPad and it’s beautiful retina display. The changes made to the new iPad are the spanking A5X processor with its improved graphic capabilities, the greatly improved cameras and finally, the unblinkingly awesome Retina display.
A Swiss software engineer named Lukas Mathis decided to show exactly what difference have been made between the new iPad and its predecessor by placing both under a microscope and making the most minute differences glaringly obvious under 80x magnification.
Apple said that they quadrupled the pixel count; they did not lie. As you can see in the picture above, the amount of pixels in the same area (for both devices) differs greatly and if anyone needed more proof as to why the new iPad would be a wise decision, here it is in red, green and blue.
Apple uses the term ‘retina display’ to signify super high-resolution display and since it does not reflect on any industry standards, we can only hope for better in the future. Do let us know what you think about this comparison.
Now here’s an iPhone 6S case that will certainly turn heads, especially when you take into consideration its name which is known as the OnePlus iPhone 6S case. That’s rather weird, don’t you think so? It will certainly take some getting used to before the name rolls off your tongue naturally. Well, we do know that The OnePlus iPhone 6S case can now be purchased for $19.99 a pop, and no, you do not need any kind of invite before you can snag one for yourself.
Each purchase will also be accompanied by an invitation to purchase a OnePlus X, just in case, you know, you would like to tread the Android waters. All in all, it comes in the kind of material as found on the OnePlus One and OnePlus X, which makes it a whole lot harder to lose grip of when you hold it – which is good!
If you are on the lookout for either the iPhone 6S or the iPhone 6S Plus, then here is news for you – chances are pretty high that you can pick up either one, or perhaps even both if you are feeling fat in the pocket, this coming September 18th. First of all, there was a leaked internal memo from Vodafone alongside Japanese site ITHome and German tech experts Macerkopf claiming that the new iPhones 6S models will roll out this coming September 18th in their respective countries
With Japan, Germany and the UK being tier one Apple launch countries, this means that those living in the mentioned countries will receive the iPhones at the same time as folks living over in the US – traditionally speaking, of course. There really isn’t that much time left to wait, as it is less than a month away, and I am quite sure that the time will pass by sooner than you think.
It looks like the folks over at Digitimes have come up with their own interpretation of things to come – that there will be no iPad Air 3 released, at least for this year. Digitimes has had their fair share of hits and misses in the past, so it would be best to take this rumor concerning the non-release of the iPad Air 3 in 2015 with a pinch of salt.
Digitimes also laid claim that the iPad mini 4 will not be as supercharged as some of the rumors that had been going around, as it will bring with it only small and incremental upgrades when compared to its predecessor, the iPad mini 3. This does not seem to bode well for fans of the compact tablet, taking into consideration how the iPad mini 3 itself was improved over its predecessor with a new Touch ID fingerprint reader.
Since Apple tends to roll out a new iPad in October, we will just have to sit tight and see whether this particular rumor has enough “legs” to run.
