iPad Air Faster than iPad 4

When Apple announced, the iPad Air, people focused more on the aesthetics than on the internals. iPad Air does have a complete new design and overall built but the internals have changed too. In fact the internals have given the iPad Air a huge boost when compared to its predecessor – an 88 percent boost.
When Apple unveiled the iPad Air, most of us know what was coming, after all there were so many leaks that we had pictured the entire thing in our minds as well as on the screens. But when Apple officially launched it, there were still millions out there who were surprised and pretty much pleased with the new device.


The weight and the thickness reduction gave the iPad lineup a fresh breath of air and something to stand on the lead. After all the competition is heating up and there are now some serious contenders in the market.
The one thing that is going to please many iPad Air owners or those of you who are looking to buy the iPad Air, that is, the new device from Apple has some serious raw power. How much? A cool 88 percent more than the last one!


 The Geekbench scores are in and the iPad Air with its A7 64-bit processor is truly impressive.Clocking at 1400 MHz the iPad Air is almost 90 percent faster than the iPad 4 – which was already quite fast.
This just goes to show that the iPad Air is not only different on the outside but the inside has got a makeover too!
But we should mention here that these benchmark scores do not prove any “real-world-result”. These are mostly for testing the raw power of the processor, so do not take these results as the final authority. Although they do give us an idea on how good the processor can perform. And, in this case Apple’s A7 processor surely does make a difference.

JD Power Explains Why Samsung Beat Apple In Its Latest Tablet Study

Yesterday, JD Power released its newest tablet satisfaction study and the Internet went a bit nuts. For the first time, Samsung had edged  out perennial favorite Apple in customer satisfaction on tablets. This was a stark change from volume one of the study which had Apple handily beating its competitors.
There was outcry about how close it was, about how the JD Power chart and scoring (835 to Samsung, 833 to Apple) simply didn’t add up. I have to admit, I was fairly curious about that, and supposed that it had to be about price.
So I reached out to JD Power and spoke to Kirk Parsons, senior director of telecommunications services. What he told us wasn’t too surprising, but it may help clear up some of the confusion. First off, the “power circle” chart that’s being widely circulated is simply a visual tool, and not representative of the actual scores given to the brands evaluated in its survey.
The power circle chart showed Apple winning handily in four categories, including performance, ease of use, physical design and tablet features. Only one category showed a clear win for Samsung: cost. But most folks were a bit skeptical, considering that the JD Power report only weights cost as 16 percent of the overall score.

Parsons confirmed the percentage, but said that the differential between the prices of the iPad and the prices of the Samsung tablets that were included in the survey was large enough to “more than offset” the score in the other four categories. Parsons says that the price category contributed to a full two-point difference between Apple and Samsung.
For reference, here are the manufacturer’s suggested retail prices of Samsung tablets released in the last year, the range covered by the study:
  • Galaxy Note 10.1 16GB – $499
  • Galaxy Note 10.1 32GB – $549
  • Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition), 16GB – $549
  • Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition), 32GB – $599
  • Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 – $199
  • Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 – $299
  • Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 – $399
  • Galaxy Note 8.0 – $399
  • Nexus 10 16GB – $399
  • Nexus 10 32GB – $499
And here are Apple’s iPad prices:
  • iPad mini 16GB – $329
  • iPad mini 32GB – $429
  • iPad mini 16GB – $529
  • iPad 2 16GB $399
  • iPad 16GB $499
  • iPad 32GB $599
  • iPad 64GB $699
Note that Apple charges around $100 to double the memory of the model below, while Samsung only charges $50. Samsung also offers tablets both right above and below Apple’s non-Retina iPad mini, which was only just reduced to $299. Note, too, that the study was conducted on devices released within the last year only, so the long-term usefulness of said devices really wasn’t in play here.
All of the above prices are MSRP, and many have been reduced at the retailers. Apple rarely discounts its tablets aside from limited promotions or yearly drops, but some retailers offer discounts. Parsons declined to share the exact price ranges of the tablets included in the study. Of note: Apple also scored the same two power circles on the first study earlier this year, which it aced, and which applied the same metrics and questions.
So — purely according to the JD Power study — if you want the best performance, ease of use, physical design and “tablet features,” then the iPad is probably the way to go. But if you’d like to stretch your dollar as far as it can go, the Samsung lineup offers more value.
