There’s no question that most individuals will have seen or heard of the iPad 2 in one way or another. There is invariably a lot of hoopla when it comes to Apple products. Maybe it’s thanks to all the fan boys, or is it just because Apple develops quality products? I would propose it could be both, speaking as a neutral in this. The iPad 2 was introduced and released very recently, and it comes only a year after the first iPad was released. The query that goes into most people’s minds is ‘is it worth upgrading to the new iPad?’, and that is the question I will attempt to answer in this mini-review.
Regarding the physical size, the iPad 2 is tinier in comparison to the original iPad. The iPad 2′s screen size continues to be the same at a nice 9.7 inches; nevertheless, the thickness of the second iPad has been reduced by 33% of the original size, which of course is a nice thing. The weight of the iPad 2 has also seen a decrease with it now tipping the scales at a mere 600 grams. Light by any criteria. These modifications are touchable as I observed by holding the iPad and iPad 2. It would be a wrong assumption to consider that this thinner, lighter version does not run as well.
The iPad 2 has faster speeds than the initial model. For one, Apple boasts that its graphics processor is nine times quicker than the initial iPad. That is a big improvement, if what they say is correct. The reason for this improvement is for demanding games and the camera, which we’ll talk about shortly. The processor is likewise much faster, as Apple have advanced from the old A4 chip to an A5 chip. The reason that it is quick is because the iPad 2 possesses a dual core A5 processing chip. No matter what I was using, I could distinguish that it was zippier. I’ve also looked at both the new and old iPad side by side and I can certainly say you notice things, such as web pages and video, loading much faster.
Now, onto the other addition of the cameras; not simply one, but two cameras are on the iPad 2. You will find the cameras situated at both the back of the device and the front. If you care for the idea of having a camera, then you will like this shift of stance as when the iPad was first released, there were no cameras. One camera takes 720p HD and the other isn’t as good. Video calling and fun pictures are now achievable with the new iPad with the inclusion of FaceTime and Photobooth. With FaceTime, the front camera permits your calling partner to see your face and the back camera allows him to see what you can see, on the back side of the iPad.
Overall, I would personally advise switching from the original iPad to the iPad 2 if you have the money, however if you’re not interested in slightly faster loading times then don’t bother. Whilst the upgrades are an improvement, it’s nothing serious, apart from maybe the camera which is a brand new inclusion.
