Why you do not need iPad

We always attracted to compare what others are afraid to compare. Which is better: a strawberry or a leap year? Apartment in Sochi and feminism? Potassium chloride or Victoria Dayneko? And, although in the latter case, the answer is obvious, now we decided to absolutely blatant insolence: compare iPad and iPhone. What is it - see below.

Gadgets taken over the world. The population of devices per capita has exceeded all conceivable limits, and now the other of you will have the opportunity to read this article to five different devices without leaving the room. Discard senile grumbling about that earlier in "VKontakte" sitting with a computer and nothing - somehow cope. It's not in the number of devices, not even in their value. The problem is that they are able to the same thing. Someone once called it "the ecosystem of Apple» and he was right: Apple really has created a little world in which each product is a logical continuation (or undertaking) previous.

Many of her offspring, despite the external similarity, differ in small but important ways. The iPhone is different from the iPod Touch? Is able to call, that's all. And the iPad from the iPhone? And the same screen size. However, all these differences that your grandfather would have seemed ridiculous, allow you to borrow every devaysu separate niche in which it reigns supreme. And here you are, a month giving up Starbucks, had saved his first thousand dollars and decided to treat yourself to apples.

We thought long and hard on this issue and even turned to a psychic for advice. After the seance, during which Steve Jobs was strictly looked at us, we know the exact answer to the iPhone. Yes, iPad looks devilishly attractive, it is near all of your friends and you remember with nostalgia how much fun the day before played in Fruit Ninja. But you - a pragmatic man who can still be cool at an Apple Store. So why iPhone is better than the iPad? Let's consider the question in detail.

The main thesis of this article is that the iPhone can do everything, and iPad - almost everything.

[Tweet] If you have an iPhone - you do not need the iPad. If you have an iPad - you still need a phone [/ tweet].

Many supplement unpretentious iPad device, which can only make calls and send messages. Mol, iPad does not know how to call, and so Nokia for a thousand rubles, which is able to. However, there is a dog, and buried: now you have two deyvasa instead of one. I do not know about you, but I have plenty of gadgets and constant shifting from one hand to the other caused a vague anxiety attacks and minimalism. Okay, when you're at home, you are not confused: lying on the couch with iPads, there, on the table, resting phone. Outside the window, the birds are singing, Putin won the election, and everything is good. But as soon as you find yourself away from home - the problems begin.

The combination of «iPad + phone" is the embodiment of inconvenience. Phone number must always keep to yourself, a phone call is still the most important, what is required from a mobile device, it is not to list uberosh. But as soon as you have to look at the card, reply to the message, which have long been sent via the Internet, but at least banal check "VKontakte" - you have to climb into the bag for iPads. This is inconvenient, and you can not argue with that. Designers have not yet come up with the size of 9.7 inch pocket to carry a fool in the hand or under the arm may only American students in the movie.

It may be objected: iPad is a hundred times better for book reading and Internet surfing. But think about it: it often do you read books to buy a tablet for 20+ thousand and use it as an e-book? If yes, then you can try. If not - it is not necessary.

Now we shall understand your exploits on the Internet. Ordinary, everyday surf does not imply any high resolution photos or HD-abstruse movies - anything that would require large Retina-display. One can only read text, but here it is time to reveal the secret: the Safari browser is a function of «Reader», which makes almost any text easier to read. Cases where the «Reader» on the iPhone has not helped me, can be counted on the fingers of one hand of Homer Simpson, whose fingers were, as we know, only four.

In general, I repeat: there is nothing that could be on the iPad, but it would be impossible on the iPhone. If you are not the person that goes non-stop to unfamiliar places and read on the go picture books, not responding to calls at the same time, the iPhone will fit you better. It is worth remembering something else about this: the camera. iPad similar to the iPhone in all, with the exception of the screen and the camera. On the iPhone it is usually better, and with the release 5s model - much better. iPhone incorporates the best of all mobile devices created by Apple. The disadvantages of the iPhone are a continuation of its advantages: the small screen as a consequence of the compactness and lightness. The power inherent in computer fits in 112 grams.

If you waved his hand and purchased the two - and the iPhone, and the iPad, - then you, as a person who used to find good use of every thing, frustration and chaos waiting for one of the devices will almost always lay case. In front of me there are plenty of examples where a person with both products, uses the iPhone as an elementary dialer, and iPad - as a place where you can shoot birds in pigs. All the same, most of the cases you will make only one device that is convenient for you, while the second one will be gathering dust.

iPad is really only needed for travel. There is no better companion in travel time than the tablet. This does not mean that next year it is necessary to leave his wife and child at home and go to Turkey together with the iPad. Just when did it happen that you continually go on business trips, the tablet can substitute anything in the world: book, TV, computer, player and even a means of communication - because in roaming can be left whole state. No longer do you have to get drunk on the plane, to conduct intimate conversations with a neighbor on the reserved seat - you will have something to occupy yourself. But part of the trip - it is perhaps the only case in which the iPad more useful iPhone. Nothing else comes to mind.

The day will come when the tablet will cease to be an expensive toy. He will get a normal operating system that can really compete with a desktop OS. And then comes the golden age, die laptops and desktop computers, and tablets can do everything. I do not know whether the phone will survive, but its role will change, and change is reductive. In the meantime, use the iPhones, it's -Best that Apple has to offer.

P.S. Especially for parents who were led on advertising, and bought the iPad to your child "for study": you've just turned it into Losers. Instead of the lessons to catch snatches of a dream of knowledge, your child will be chopped in the «Infinity Blade» and send photos to their classmates questionable content. At school, the child only a diary, if I remember correctly (at least for me, the teacher kept asking, "Where diary ?!"). In high school, if this is not some sharaga, useful only laptop on which to build schedules, consider the standard deviation and do modeling. In none of the above cases, the iPad is not an assistant. Therefore, majority donate Dityatki MacBook Air: It is, in contrast to the iPad, - a serious thing.
