iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina Display

xproc — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 02:31:14 +0800

From apple website link as shown

iPad Air
The power of lightness
All-new design. A ton of advanced technology. In just one pound.
You have to hold iPad Air to believe it. It’s just 7.5 millimeters thin and weighs just one pound. The stunning Retina display sits inside thinner bezels, so all you see is your content. And an incredible amount of power lies inside the sleek enclosure. So you can do so much more. With so much less.

Does even more. Weighs even less.
The new iPad Air is unbelievably thin and light. And yet it’s so much more powerful and capable. With the A7 chip, advanced wireless, and great apps for productivity and creativity — all beautifully integrated with iOS 7 — iPad Air lets you do more than you ever imagined. In more places than you ever imagined.
All-new design. Leaner. And definitely meaner.
iPad Air is impossibly thin but incredibly solid thanks to its aluminum unibody design. It dropped almost a quarter of the volume of the previous-generation iPad. So it weighs just one gravity-defying pound. But what makes iPad Air truly remarkable is that it packs so much more power and capability into its sleek enclosure. So you can do even more with it, while carrying even less with you. Learn more about the design.

Retina display. So much to see. So little to hold.
iPad has always been about the display. And that’s even more true with iPad Air. Because we reduced the width of the device, along with the bezels on the sides of the display. But the size of the stunning Retina display is exactly the same. So your content fills your view more than ever. With a 2048-by-1536 resolution and over 3.1 million pixels, photos and videos pop with detail and text looks razor sharp. Pixels are indiscernible. So all you see is what you want to see. Learn more about the Retina display

Sometimes the best design is the one you hardly notice.
We believe that your content should be the focus of your experience. And everything else should disappear. Even the device itself.

iPad Mini Link
iPad mini with Retina Display
Small wonder.

Beautiful 7.9-inch Retina display. The difference has never been clearer.
iPad mini with Retina display is amazing to hold. And behold. Every photo is incredibly detailed and vibrant, and every line of text is remarkably crisp and clear. With higher resolution than an HDTV, it’s stunning — on a whole new scale.

We’ve expanded the deﬁnition of mini.
iPad mini was designed to give you nothing less than the full iPad experience. So when we thought about which enhancements to bring to the new iPad mini, there was only one answer: all of them. We packed a Retina display, the A7 chip, the M7 coprocessor, advanced wireless, and more into its small form. It has a huge amount of power and capability, but it’s still nice and mini.

How do 3 million pixels ﬁt into 7.9 inches? Brilliantly.
To bring the Retina display to iPad mini, we had to find a way to pack every one of the 3.1 million pixels from the 9.7-inch iPad into a 7.9-inch display. Every pixel in a display has multiple signals telling it when to light up. And with a 2048 x 1536 resolution display, more pixels and more signals are placed closer together on the same plane, so signals can get crossed and image quality can suffer. To make sure everything on iPad mini looks crystal clear, Apple engineers elevated the pixels onto a different plane — separating them from the signals. In the end, the pixel density jumped to 326 pixels per inch — so dense the human eye can’t distinguish individual pixels — making everything look incredibly detailed, vibrant, and razor sharp.

We maximized the inside. The outside is still mini.
iPad mini was designed to be a concentration, rather than a reduction, of iPad. It’s small. But when you use it, it doesn’t feel small. In addition to the Retina display, we packed in a tremendous amount of power and capability. And yet iPad mini remains the perfect mini size. That’s because we reengineered nearly every component. And shaved fractions of millimeters everywhere to keep iPad mini thin and light. It feels like an iPad in every way — only it’s mini.

Why This Apple Lover Sold His iPad

xproc — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 15:56:49 +0800

QUOTE

It was a strange twist in my computing habits. When I first got my iPad, I found myself using it more than my MacBook. I would come home from work and use my iPad to catch up on news and Twitter. At night, I'd use it to stream Netflix in bed. I really only used my MacBook if I needed to do some work from home. It was essentially just a word processor to me.

So, what happened?

I started using my iPad less and less this year mostly because I started working a lot more when away from the office. For writers, an iPad isn't an ideal device to get things done, even with one of those cool keyboard accessories. I still need a full-fledged PC to do my job well, as I suspect people in many other professions do.

Gigahertz, Megapixels, And Millimeters

Interesting quotes
In the end, it really is the overall experience that matters.
- I agree hand down with this

I want to see a world where mainstream screen sizes are bordered by the iPhone 5 at the bottom and the HTC One at the top, and there are some awesome things in between.
- Agreed with this also

Aggressive specs appeal to geeks, to people who want the latest and the greatest.
- I am a geek then, the poor one...

When You Use It Every Day, Build Quality Matters
- epic true also, but anyway we tend to cover our nice phones with casing, so i would like to add, Case Built Quality matters

It's great to have really high build quality on a phone but I think what's more useful is whether or not there are a lot of accessories available for it.
- Accessories completes the phone, be it casing, screen protector, power banks, other high tech accessories (up, fibit, fuelband etc..) also...

Smartphones are more than just aluminum, plastic, and chemically-strengthened glass. Inside the shell of these smartphones one will find a wide array of materials. The iPhone 5, for example, is built with 0.88 oz of aluminum (the body) and 0.56 oz of copper (wiring). 0.012 oz of silver, 0.0012 oz of gold, and 0.000012 oz of platinum are found inside the iPhone 5.
- nice POV

Their Questions (everyone please answer, and open for discussion, thanks!)
1. Which hardware specs matter to you?
2. What are the perfect smartphone and tablet screen sizes for you?
3. Who makes the best hardware today?

open for discussion, no flames please...

Do LYN have this plan in mind? Or any work has been done or considered for it? In this era website optimized for mobile is very important

Current website not fully optimize for mobile and most annoying is when need to reply the comment, the box will auto zoom and fly here there ?

I don't think it's easy to be implemented , maybe need third party to help?

Sorry if the post is being raise but using a phone to browse LYN is not that easy. I really like LYN very much.

iPhone 5 Alternative, the combo you never thought

xproc — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 09:37:16 +0800

Article

The above article explains all, by ditching iPhone, and get iPad mini 3G and a normal phone, you get bigger screen for your iOS apps, 3X-4X battery life for your talk time, almost half of the cost of owning iPhone 5, less monthly commitment even when you get a data plan for iPad.

Good for those who always wasted the free minutes every month.

Any opinion about this?

iPhone 5 Malaysian Set Scuffgate Survey

Post from SC, Got a Scratched iPhone 5 Right Out of the Box? Apple Says No Warranty for You

Update 2: *Last Resort to Cure Scuffgate*

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

QUOTE

In Malaysia, if you purchased an iPhone and its defective, you will have to take your claims for a replacement with the retailer that you bought the device with and not with Apple. It is up to the retailer to replace your defective unit.
If you bought your iPhone from Apple’s online store you might have a better chance of getting a replacement for your defective iPhone 5 but for everyone else, it all comes down to luck.

Sauce

When buying your iPhone 5, check for the condition as follows before you leaving the counter, if got defects, some can change some cant change, depends on your nego skill and luck...

Tools
1. flash light (handphone type) or under bright light
2. your eyes
3. calm and detailed mind
4. free time

Procedures
1. Check the box is completely unseal set, check is the capacity and colour you want, check serial and imei with invoice before open the box (if applicable)
2. check for any scuffs or dents at chamfer and edges
3. check for any scratches at front and back
4. check any chips at lightning dock area
5. shake the phone and use your ears to hear, some of the units have rattling sound, not sure is normal or not, using google they say either is loose power button or loose battery, or is vibrator sound, yet to clarify (UPDATE: some say is power button, if this is so, holding the button and shake it the sound is gone. Else, mostly they say is vibrator sound due to its design (same with iP, when shake sideways, facing the back of the phone to your ear, you will hear it. The solution is stop shaking it )

Power up the phone
1. check if any dead pixels
2. check if any back-light bleeding issues
3. activate the phone
4. test camera
5. check capacity, serial and imei code

Reminder
1. Reject the phone and demand a new set (you have the rights to do it before leave the store)
2. Explain how bad is it (as bad as words can say, dont angry, just talk with reasons) and do not accept anything that is not perfect when out of the box
3. Do not accept second best

if anyone have better ideas and checklist let me know i will update it
