Apple Ipad Air 2 and Ipad mini 3

Recently Apple has introduced its  new iPads including the updated iPad Mini 3 and its thinnest tablet ever, the iPad Air 2.
Both the products look identical to the previous ones but they are more advance , deligated and faster than the previous versions. Apple says this chip is 40 per cent faster than previous processor and has 180 times the graphic performance of the original iPad.   But ipad mini 3 is come with the A7 screen as the previous generation. One more thing is that ipad Air 2 is just half that original ipad.

SPECIFICATIONS:

DISPLAY AND WEIGHT

 Apple has kept the screen size at 9.7-inches for the iPad Air 2 with a 2048×1536 resolution at 264 pixels per inch (ppi). Apple has, however, introduced an anti-reflective coating on the tablet (the same as the iPhone) to reduce reflections on the tablet by 56 percent. If users were hoping that the iPad Air 2 would have a sharper screen, that hasn’t changed. iPad mini 3’s screen is also at 7.9-inches with a 2048×1536 resolution at 326 pixels per inch (ppi).
It should be noted though that the iPad Air 2 is thinner than the iPad Air. The iPad Air 2 is 6.1 mm (0.24 inches) thick while the iPad Air was 7.5 mm (0.29 inches) thick. The iPad Air 2

PROCESSORS AND MEMORY CHIP

The iPad Air 2 comes with the A8 64-bit architecture processor along with the M8 motion co-processor. whereas  the ipad mini 3 comes with the A7 processor with M7 motion co-processor which isn’t an improvement at all from the earlier version.According to Apple, the A8 chip on the iPad Air 2 delivers a 40 percent improvement in CPU performance and 2.5 times the graphics performance of the iPad Air
These ipads are come with the  16, 64 and 128 GB versions only.

IMPROVED CAMERA

Camera: Apple has finally improved the camera on the iPad Air by introducing an 8 megapixel rear (or as Apple calls it iSight) camera although it has kept front camera at 1.2 megapixels which is disappointing. As far as camera improvements on the iPad Air 2 go users can now take panoramic shots, shoot time-lapse video, slo-mo video and 1080p HD video.

According to Apple, the FaceTime HD camera now captures over 80 percent more light than iPad Air’s camera, and features burst mode as well as HDR stills and video.

Sadly, the iPad mini 3 camera hasn’t changed much and remains the same as the iPad mini 2.
