iPad Mini vs new Nexus 7 on paper - ZDNet.nl

Summary: Google started the first Nexus 7 small table slow, but Apple soon came alongside the iPad Mini. Take the second Nexus 7 now again an edge in this market segment?

We have put together a list in a separate article to the specifications of the new Nexus 7. No device is not in itself and only when you compare it with the competition, it becomes clear whether the new small tablet from Asus is worth considering.

Screen
The new Nexus 7 has a seven-inch Full HD display (1920 x 1200 pixels) with a 16:9 aspect ratio. That’s a big blow for the iPad Mini, with its image resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, but the little Apple tablet has a slightly larger screen than the Nexus 7 (7.9 inches). It is still too early to determine how it is made with the viewing angles, brightness and overall quality of the upgraded Google tablet.

Computing
The Nexus 7 second generation will come with a 1.5Ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor and Adreno 320 GPU, plus 2 GB of RAM. Graphically this is a giant step forward, but this quad-core chip in terms of power not as impressive as for example the Nvidia Tegra 4.

Nevertheless, the Nexus 7 with support for OpenGL ES 3.0 a lot to offer to gamers, because in the picture they can get more effects than would otherwise be.

possible

If you do move across the iPad Mini, which is equipped with Apple’s A5 dual-core processor, the tablet is clearly deficient. This is the processor that is present in the iPad 2 and the fourth generation iPod Touch, representing a capable but outdated processor (1 GHz). Add to that the iPad Mini but has 512MB of memory and the Nexus 7 emerges as the clear winner.

Price per gigabyte
If you’re talking about small tablets, the asking price of vital importance. Although the new Nexus 7 is not yet available in Europe, and so we have no idea of ??the euro prices, we can all make by comparing the dollar prices a nice comparison.

So does the 16GB Wifi version of the dollar Nexus 229 versus $ 329 for the iPad Mini and you pay $ 269 for the 32GB Nexus (again with Wifi) versus $ 429 for the same version of the Apple mini-tablet. The iPad Mini is or again available in a 64 GB version.

The price difference between the new 4G version of the Nexus 7 and the iPad Mini is even greater, but in this case less relevant. It is not yet clear whether the Nexus with mobile internet or in the phone shop will come here and the U.S. price plan is not comparable to local providers.

Wireless Connectivity
Both tablets support Bluetooth 4.0 and 802.11n WiFi (dual band), but the Google Nexus 7 has a slight advantage with support for NFC, which plays a role in the payment service Google Wallet.

Camera
The iPad Mini had had both the front and rear camera, while the first Nexus 7 only one copy on the front. With the new version Asus makes good this deficiency.

OS and apps
The iPad Mini is still running on iOS 6, but will fall to make iOS 7, the new mobile operating system that the larger iPads will move launch. Because this new version is not yet finished, it is difficult to make a final judgment on them.

Google suggests there

Android 4.3 Jelly Bean front, a slightly improved new version of its mobile operating system. This includes settings for multiple users and the presence of Bluetooth Smart, that this wireless technology to make less burdensome for the battery.

“The trend is in stark contrast to the total tablet market,” said Yeung opposite Cnet. According to the researcher, much depends on the fourth quarter, but will the iPad anyway not rosy year more.

In autumn new iPads expected. Apple will both 5 and iPad Mini iPad 2 release. “Even if Apple in the fourth quarter, a growth of 75 percent is able to achieve you come for the whole year from 6 percent growth compared to the expected 58.7 percent growth for the whole market.”

The difference in the growth of Android and Windows tablets on the one hand and iPads on the other hand is also reflected in the market share of Apple. According to sources from Digitimes Apple was in the first quarter accounted for 50 percent of the tablet market. In the second quarter was an estimated 30 to 35 percent.


New iPads

Citi expects that despite the arrival of two new Apple iPads this year will lose substantial market share. that Apple should return incidentally is not surprising.

Quarterly figures Apple Q3 2013: iPad less popular - Tablets Magazine

iPad screenshot quarterly Apple Q3 2013: iPad less popular

Apple yesterday the quarterly figures for the third quarter of 2013 and announced for the first time since the introduction what seems to decline. demand for iPads The average selling price of the iPad is quite hard to plummet, which of course is logically explained by the arrival of cheaper iPad mini .

We have all the figures of the past few quarters and put under another above and below graphs made so we get a better understanding of the growth and decline.

  • Average price per iPad dropped to $ 434, Q3 2012 was $ 538

course the lineup of Apple there for a while and people might wait on a new iPad in the fall. Last year, the retina iPad even launched in Q3, which is a part of the difference in the units sold now can explain. Also indicated that they had reduced, which is one of the causes of the decline can be. U.S. business inventories at retailers These figures are based on sales of Apple to retailers and providers, not consumers.


iTunes

sales through iTunes Store (s) is grown, but since Apple last year’s third quarter was not known in this area announced, I do not rate bind. The iTunes Store has a turnover of nearly $ 4 billion achieved in Q2 2012 this was 3.1 billion in Q4 2012 and 3.5 billion dollars.

the sales of Apple computers (Macs) have decreased (-7%) but the iPod is the biggest loser with almost a third fewer units sold (-32%).

iPhone

However

The iPhone is still like the fire, with 31.2 million units is about 20% more if sold in the same quarter last year. The turnover with iPhones has increased (15% in the plus).

One swallow does not make a summer and Apple still sells enough products with associated profit margins, and therefore no one pity to have with them. Yet it is striking that the first demand for iPads appears to be declining. Or market saturation, the reduction of stocks or competition (the piece cheaper) Android tablets responsible for the decline should be taken is not yet clear, we keep an eye on it.

"IPad is losing popularity" - Los Angeles Times

Since its introduction in 2010, the iPad from Apple lost its popularity. Quarter were again sold fewer iPads. The competition is fierce, writes the Frankfurter Allgemeine.

Although sales of 14.6 million copies over the last quarter is still huge, Apple itself is not such a cheerful number. It means, namely a loss of 14 percent compared to the same period in the previous year. The revenue loss is thus 27 percent, or $ 6.4 billion.

The cause for the declining numbers is both Apple itself and outside the company. So Apple has announced new hardware this fall and probably present, which often means that the existing instances are much harder to sell. A new version of the iPad Much more important is that the competition is not sitting still led by particularly Samsung. Tablets with the Android operating system have become a formidable rival to Apple with its iOS. And where the price of an iPad is consistently high, take tablets of a steady flight down.

As the market becomes saturated, Apple will increasingly have to consider a pricing strategy to larger parts of the copper market to speak.

The problems of a bigger iPhone and iPad - ZDNet.nl

Summary: You’d think it’s easy to make the screen of a device that is bigger but it’s not. Especially when that device bears an Apple logo.

rumor that Apple is experimenting with larger screens for the iPhone and iPad. Believe it or not, but there is more to it than just making the devices bigger.

The current 4-inch size of the iPhone would be jacked up to 4.3 inches. The screen of the iPad would be less than 13 inches, compared to the current 9.7 inches.

You would think that it is easy to make the screen of a device slightly larger – make a larger screen and plug all electronics in it – but it’s not. Certainly not when the company behind the device is obsessed with delivering the best possible user experience.

Here are some bedenkingn:

Ergonomics

Are the larger screens easy to use? Apple has done very busy at the 4-inch screen of the iPhone 5 means that the phone still with one hand to operate. Apple has found a way to make operable?

in the same way a 4.3 inch screen

I did some devices of different sizes in my hands and my experience is that even the addition of 0.1 inch can make between user or uncomfortable using a phone.

a differenceWhat

a 13 inch iPad is concerned, that is a giant screen. If you ever fixed’ve had a screen that size then you know that it brings some challenges in design with it. Weight and thickness are of utmost importance.

Perhaps this is the reason that Apple is interested in Liquidmetal?

Battery Life

The addition of 0.3 inches on the iPhone may not be much, but the addition of 3.3 inches to the iPad represents a huge increase in energy consumption. That undoubtedly means that the battery needs to be bigger and that in turn means a heavier tablet. More weight can mean a more awkward experience.


Supply Chain

Can suppliers produce enough large screens in order to meet the demand? There are already rumors that the launch of the new iPhone is delayed because of a shortage of screens. The production of screens is defined in space, not on the number of panels, and the addition of a few additional inches can mean more pressure to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Apple sells each quarter millions of iPhones and iPads and everything does slow down the supply chain, the company hundreds of millions in turnover costs.

Price

Apple has managed to keep. the price of the iPhone and iPad constant New iDevices cost as much as the old iDevices they replace. Who wants to upgrade, eliminating the need for a price shock to expect.

Bigger can also mean expensive. Apple will have to try to keep still.

the price tag of larger aircraft control

Fragmentation

Apple is working hard to prevent different screen sizes ensure fragmentation of the platform. Apps scales neatly between the iPhone and the iPad, the iPad and the iPad Mini, and retina and non-retina screens.

Although there is undoubtedly a fascination for increasing screen sizes when it comes to Android and Windows, Apple competes in essence only to himself and the pressure to add more inches – whether they are useful or not – is therefore nonexistent.

This means that Apple does not need to take risks. It can make the products that consumers want to buy, rather than undesirable design tweaks to force the users.
