Apple made its followers wait for a whole year to come up with the third generation of iPad. The ‘New iPad’ was finally launched a few days back with some amazing features like Retina display, superb HD display, new processor, better camera and new voice-dictation feature, but still it disappointed its perfection loving fans as the device missed out many features which topped their wish list. Here is a list of things which this so called the world’s best tablet missed out.
1. Why no ‘Siri’?
Apple's well-liked voice-controlled personal assistant software ‘Siri’ which came into life with iPhone 4S last year is one of the truly missed feature in New iPad. The ‘Siri’ which can do lot of startling stuffs like taking dictation for text messages, entering calendar appointments to answering general knowledge questions was the major success factor of iPhone 4S.
The New iPad only has a half grown technology with its voice-dictation feature that adds a microphone icon on the keyboard to write email, send text, search the web and create a note as you say, but the full-flung brains of Siri cloud have been added for the betterment of New iPad.
2. Battery Life Same:
Apple’s Retina Display fetches more computing power as the screen resolution is nearly quadrupled, but the batter life of the New iPad remains the same, 10 hours. Apple has done a great job by nearly doubling the capacity of the battery to 42Wh in the New iPad from 25Wh in iPad 2, even if there is a 70 percent increase in the capacity the users expectation was for a device which holds juice for a longer duration of time.
3. Screen Size also Same:
The speculations were that the third generation iPad will be available in more than one screen sizes, but the New iPad features the same 9.7 inches screen as the iPad2. There were lots rumors that Apple is working on a mini iPad, it seems like they were just rumors. However, the Retina Display of this New iPad is a wonder in itself.
4. Near Field Communication (NFC) Absent:
The era of mobile shopping is in the growth phase and this NFC technology is the one which converts your gadgets into a digital wallet. But this technology is missing in the New iPad causing a lot of disappointment. NFC technology allows the users to pay for retail goods and services by just waving their devices across a reader. This new technology which is supposed to redefine the way we use gadgets and the way we shop in future is not all there in New iPad, it’s such a sad news.
5. Still Dual-core, All Others are Quad-core:
Many competing tablet makers have come up with high performing Quad-core processor in their tablets, but still Apple’s new iPad is stuck with Dual-core processor. It was expected that the New iPad will be having a new A6 quad core processor, on the country Apple came up with a new Dual-core Apple A5X custom-designed chip with quad-core graphics. The detail about the RAM of the device is not disclosed by the company, it is expected to be doubled therefore will be around 1GB.
6. Thicker n Heavier, not Thinner n Lighter:
New iPad measures 9.4 millimeters which is 0.6 millimeters thicker when compared with the 8.8 millimeters thick iPad 2. New iPad weighs 1.44 lbs for the Wi-Fi version and 1.46 lbs for the 4G iPad, while the iPad2 weighed only 1.33 lbs. The blame goes to the superior and more powerful due to which the New iPad became more fat and heavy.
7. USB, memory card slot = Not at all!
It seems like Apple doesn’t like to expand their device’s memory with a SD memory card. iPad2 also lacked this feature and the coming iPad was pondered to have this feature. Above this, it seems like Apple will never add a mini USB port in iPad to make transferring of files more easy for its users
8. Lesser storage with Better Features:
Apple didn’t consider to have better storage of 128 GB when the new device have better processor, better graphics, superior back camera and faster LTE connectivity. The reason might be that the device will become too costly to push it into the market. It is still pretty good to have a 64 GB iPad with all such advanced features, the 32GB is manageable but the 16GB model owners will be quite crippled in the storage area.
