iPad 3 can run for 9 hours straight on LTE. Here's why

it still only gets 10hrs on wifi. which means no improvement at all in battery life in an entire year.

Dude...I am not Apple fanboy(I kinda hate iOS)...but give credit where it is due-
1. Highest pixel density display in tablets.
2. Quad-core gpu...Nvidia Tegra3 doesn't compare to SGX543MP2 let alone SGX543MP4.
3. Read post title again..."iPad 3 can run for 9 hours straight on LTE"...you notice word LTE? wifi and LTE are diff as you may know.

dude... i know how to read.

ipad 2 gets 10hrs battery life on wifi w/25Whr battery

new ipad gets 10hrs battery life on wifi w/42.5Whr battery

that is bad in my book.

The tablet has many more pixels to control as well as a much more powerful GPU.

40. squallz506 posted on 07 Mar 2012, 20:21 2 2

the new GPU is actually supposed to use less power than the gpu on the ipad 2.

Yeah, on the same work load, not when it's pushing 4x the pixels.

It is apparently when it comes to being a feature in an apple product

lol !! very true.. Apple fanboys will believe that its a revolution!

8. gallitoking posted on 07 Mar 2012, 17:21 5 7

we dont believe is a revolution.. only you guys... not one Apple consumer has said is a revolution... only the haters..

13. squallz506 posted on 07 Mar 2012, 18:00 5 1

articles that say stuff like:
"the new iPad can deliver 10 hours of continuous use on a single charge... How could that be possible?"

make it sound revolutionary. as if 10 hrs was never possible before.

9-10 hour of battery usage is actually rather nice when the resolution/screen display, camera, and mostly all of the features are upgraded.

and there are some big upgrades from the previous ipad.. but i'll still wait til the next galaxy tab. This years galaxy tab 2 was rather honestly disappointing.

well android still has yet to make a device that can even make it through a day without being charged. except the droid maxx but they had to overhaul the battery to get it to that point.

The new iPad sucks just wait till Asus release their next tablet, it will destroy the iPad. The Transformer prime already gets 12+ without the dock, which adds an extra 6 hours. And Its Quad Core.

24. darkkjedii posted on 07 Mar 2012, 18:37 1 5

What's the benefits of quad core that u won't get with dual that's properly optimized for the software. I'll tell u. Not one. Quad core isn't even saturated I to the market yet,just a few devices have em. People want usability,performance,and dependability. Not quad core. Lmao it's quad core... Shutup!

35. ghostnexus posted on 07 Mar 2012, 20:01 1 3

First off that has nothing to do with the article. And I was talking about how it affects battery life, nothing to do with the iPad's usability,performance,and dependability. And to be honest Quad Core makes multi-tasking snappier, with one core without hyper threading the Os can only process one task at a time so add more cores more multitasking.

Just like the Xoom killed the iPad?

The droidblets are a joke at best. $500 for sluggish, buggy and clumsy tablets with no decent apps. Why do you think after more than a year they are all flops.

i think i've read that phrase " it will destroy the IPad " over a million times! 2012 and still doesn't sell well against a kindle fire let alone the ipad!

17. GeekMovement posted on 07 Mar 2012, 18:10 3 2

samsung doesn't have to wait to check out the new ipad specs to make theirs better, they already have the potential to do it.

19. Schuler28 posted on 07 Mar 2012, 18:18 1 1

I agree with you geekmovement!!

31. -box- posted on 07 Mar 2012, 18:57 1 1

Isn't the A5 a Samsung design anyway?

You'd think they'd keep something better than the Exynos for themselves as good as the A5 (and A5X) are

I agree Samsung is already working on putting out their next copycat tablet
