When should I upgrade my Apple device? The most frequent question I receive is “should I upgrade my iPad/iPhone when a new version comes out?” It all depends on a few key questions: are you locked into a carrier contract and can you wait to get into the release cycle that will provide you the most benefit? If you desire to be on the cutting edge with the latest and greatest, then you answered your question. Let’s first look at the iPad. iPad The iPad is not impacted by the carrier question because you are not locked into a 2-year contract. Cellular data for the iPad (if you have the hardware option) is on a month-to-month basis. I recommend always including the cellular version over the WiFi only. Having the version that supports cellular provides you with GPS and the flexibly of adding a data connection when you may be in an area that doesn’t support free WiFi.

The original iPad was revolutionary, but it lacks a lot compared to newer versions. It does not include cameras and the other features you would now expect in a device. Apple released the New iPad (3) in early 2012. The 3 had some very minimal upgrades over the iPad 2. Within six months Apple released the iPad (4) with Retina display. This version had significant upgrades including display quality, processor speed, and HD cameras. It is expected a newer version (5) will be released in fall 2013 with a thinner profile and updated cameras. These features are not significant enough to change, and I would skip this release and wait for the release of the iPad 6. The iPad Mini is for individuals that like or desire the smaller display. As it turns out the Mini does not support the better Retina display. It is expected Apple will include the Retina feature in the next release. The best upgrade path for the IPad would be version 2, 4, and then 6 when released or the next iPad Mini expected in fall
Apple's iPad has revolutionized tablet computers in many ways. Ipad3 is the latest version released by Apple on March 16, 2012 and is sleek and faster than its predecessors. While other manufacturers are struggling with innovation in the tablet computer section, Apple seems to handle it with relative ease and this is one of the main reasons for its presence as a market leader in this segment.
I was able to understand that the IPad Pro has a 12.9 inches display screen with a 2048x2732 pixel resolution. I think this resolution is high enough for people that enjoy to watch video and play video game. It operates under IOS 9 which is a mobile operating system for apple with dual-core. It is available in 32gb and 128gb storage with a 4gb Ram. IPad pro almost as large as the 13.3 inch MacBook air. Although the IPad Pro come with a keyboard and allow multi-windows. If you want to use the IPad Pro as a regular laptop, I think 4gb Ram is not good enough. When I look at the specification, it states that the CPU is Dual-core 2.26GHz. I was able to understand what a dual-core is, but not really sure about the meaning of 2.26GHz. And when I look at the Camera features, I was a little confuse about the meaning of 1.12m pixel size.
Today’s technology improves so fast. As technology improves, more and more electronics will be designed and produced. There was once a day when people did not have many different electronic devices available to them. We did not have laptops, much less an iPad. Now, everyone has their smart phones, and tablet PCs. Apple is going to releases the Iphone 5 this
Apple created more headline news by releasing the iPhone 5 on September 21, 2012. The iPhone 5 wows customers with its new sleek design, 8 mega pixel “iSight” camera, 4-inch Retina display and its ultra-processor. The iPhone 5 has an A6 chip that Apple says is powerful but not hungry. Apple claims its new product includes speed, durability, and extraordinary convenience for its consumers. Gizmo-Bird.com reported that the IPhone 5 sold 5 million unit sales in just 3 days. Every year or over a period of time its seems like apple reconstructs the iPhone forcing consumers to be in with the new and out with the old. It seems as though you can predict when
According to the article "iPad May Join Aspirin, Heroin, as Generic Name, Branding Experts Say" (2012), Apple products tablets may become a generic term for all tablets rather than referring only to the ones made by Apple. There are positives and negatives to this tendency. Whereas it ensures that as many people as possible understand and associate the product with the brand, it also opens up issues with branding which have to do with trademarks. It becomes easier to overcome the laws regarding copyright and trademark when the term no longer is applied to a specific company's product but rather to all examples of that product currently on the market.
The Apple iPad is another hot item that everyone wants to have. iPad’s are one of those items that someone will pay a premium for to the high demand. The 4th Generation iPad sell for over $400 on the. IPad air 2 Gold version latest model will sell for over $1,200 and will sell for over $150 even if they are broken. Even the iPad 1 broken will sell for $40. You can’t go wrong with having an iPad in your possession.
I chose to go with the same platform for both products because of one important factor, when you have multiple Apple products you can sync the devices up together. It’s basically like having one mega computer. As you save photos, documents, and other stuff on one device, it can also be seen on both devices when connected. This is great when keeping business information on the desktop at the coffee shop and then being able to pull it up and show clients on the iPad. Another reason why I chose the iPad is because it’s very portable and lightweight. The iPad can be easily held with only one hand and is very slim to be
It all began with making the iPhone bigger, and versatile for all ages.The iPad became the thing everyone wanted, coming out with iPad mini and now the iPad Air made a variety for everyone. Then Microsoft came out with the surface pro, it had all the features of a computer but was much smaller and easier to carry around. The Surface Pro “Tablet Can Replace Your Computer” commercial tries to grab the consumers attention through need for satisfying achievement, attention, and the need for autonomy. On the other hand, the “iPad Air” commercial uses the need to satisfy curiosity, need for achievement and aesthetic sensations. While both commercials are good, iPad is more convincing because it keeps the buyers wanting more.

Apple is the market leader in the tablet industry with a market share of 50.4 percent at end of the third quarter (San Francisco Business Times, 2012). With the iPad Mini consumers can experience a smaller version of the original iPad (Apple Inc., 2012). Apple iPad Mini is a brand new product that will provide the most effective compatibility for the new millennium. The new product will have different ranges of space and will be priced from $329 to $659. The iPad Mini resembles the original iPad, but weighs half as much as the original. It carries some of the same features as the original iPad. They both have front and back cameras; however, the resolution on the Mini screen is not as high as the original. The iPad

Barnes and Noble introduced its Nook product line in 2009, which, among other benefits, featured a six-inch screen and 168-hour battery life (Sawhney, 2014). They would later launch the Nook Color in 2010 and the Follow-On Nook tablet in 2011, both of which featured access to third-party Apps available in the Barnes and Noble Marketplace and the capability to stream multimedia content (Sawhney, 2014).

Google Android tablets were also introduced into the market, for example, Samsung’s line
