Good day to all readers!
In the wake of conversations and news about the iPad mini a sensational simply a sin not to throw in my "two cents worth" that actually I would like to do.
23th of October, like many other readers of this resource, I watched with great interest the presentation of Apple, the more a sin not to see the stream which Apple has not done for 500 years. It was this presentation is one thing that angered me: this comparison iPad mini with one of its main competitors - the Nexus 7 from Google.
I thought Apple contradicted itself in full. Most of all it concerns the comparison of the display device.
Here is a comparison browsing on both devices. If you believe Apple's iPad mini is placed 49% more information than on the Nexus 7. I think one that is identical to the page fit the width and the length to fit your Nexus 7, even a little bit more? In the photo with the screenshot iPad mini is simply increased, although in the same presentation we were told that they are the same height. Whence then we took 49% a mystery to me.
Here devices have become a face-to-face in landscape orientation. There is no place to argue: on the iPad mini actually hold more information, but let us back to the presentation of the iPhone 5, which we so actively telling that 16: 9 is super-cool and conveniently:
And what do we see? Even less information.
Next we are told that the iPad mini screen is 35% larger. At this point, I want to shout, "Thank you captain obvious!" Even though it is no longer fashionable. And no brainer that 7.9 is greater than 7.0. However, not all so simple. Let's recall the resolution of both screens. At the Nexus 7 is of 1280 × 800, while the iPad mini at 1024x768. One can easily understand that in the iPad mini screen can fit inside the Nexus 7 because we liked to show it in the Macbook Pro retina presentation
So maybe it's time to determine what is more important, the size and ppi?
Total:
I did not so much a fan and Apple fan, but try not to miss the most high-profile events related to the corporation. They always feel free to compare yourself directly with your competitors and "poke a finger" to the places where they are better, but it seems to me, before such comparisons were daring, but time is also quite reasonable. In the case of the iPad mini and Nexus 7 comparison came highly questionable, especially considering the price difference of $ 80.
Write in the comments whether you agree with my point of view, but if not I would be interested to find out what.
