Intel Core i5 and i7 processors. Performance that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

        Both the 11- and 13-inch MacBook Air now feature the latest generation of Intel processors, the Core i5 and i7. With speeds up to 1.8GHz and faster memory, the new MacBook Air gains up to 2.5x the processing performance over the previous generation.¹ MacBook Air also features the Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor, which includes an on-chip engine for video encoding and decoding. That means you experience video playback and FaceTime calls that are smoother, more responsive, and more true to life.²

All-flash storage. Instant-on gratification.

     Devices like iPhone and iPad have already demonstrated the advantages of flash storage: reliability, speed, and efficiency. So the decision to use flash storage in an ultracompact notebook like MacBook Air made perfect sense. With flash, your computer starts up in almost no time and accesses data quickly. Flash also gives MacBook Air the astonishing ability to remain in standby mode for up to 30 days.³ Which means your MacBook Air snaps to in an instant, whether you open it tomorrow, next week, or next month.

htning-fast data transfer.

            With one port, MacBook Air gives you access to a world of high-speed peripherals capable of transferring data up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0. Or use the Thunderbolt port to connect the new Apple Thunderbolt Display and transform your ultracompact MacBook Air into a complete desktop workstation. Power over 4 million eye-popping pixels while enjoying some major benefits: Gigabit Ethernet, FireWire 800, an additional Thunderbolt port, three USB ports, a FaceTime HD camera, 2.1 stereo sound, and a built-in microphone. The display even charges your MacBook Air, so there’s no need to unpack and unravel your power adapter. With two quick connections — the MagSafe power cord and the Thunderbolt cable — you’re up and running in seconds. Unplug them, and you’re on your way just as fast.

Backlit keyboard. What you see is what you type.

              As incredibly compact as MacBook Air is, it still manages to fit a full-size keyboard that makes typing as natural as it is comfortable. And now the keyboard is backlit, so you can type with ease in even the dimmest light. A built-in ambient light sensor detects changes in lighting conditions and adjusts the display and keyboard brightness automatically. From a seat in a sunny café to a seat on a cross-country red-eye, you’ll always have the perfect lighting for any environment.

         The recent Apple launch event can be deemed as the most anticipated launch event for any of their devices. People all over the world were anxiously waiting to find out what the third-gen tablet was going to be like. There were numerous questions in everyone’s heads. The most important of which was whether the new device was going to be called, iPad 3 or iPad HD and we both know that neither was the case as Apple gave it the name, the new iPad. Anyway, the Retina Display, the 4G LTE and the A5X chip, that most of us were expecting, were confirmed to be in the tablet. One of the major disappointments that was faced was that the new iPad didn’t have Siri. With its successful debut for the iPhone 4S, people were expecting that the new iPad will also have the feature. However, it was revealed at the event that Siri was nowhere to be found in the new iPad. Read to know about the possible reasons, after the break!

Yes, I feel for the many people who wanted their very own personal assistant in their new iPad. However, Apple decided that it won’t be putting the feature in the third-gen tablet. This decision has, nevertheless, made a lot of excited fans disappointed. Below you can read why Apple didn’t provide Siri for the new iPad.

 

Internet Connection
We all know that Siri needs an internet connection to function, and Apple can’t guarantee a 24/7 internet connection when it comes to the new iPad. There are two versions of the new iPad: 4G and the WiFi-only models. The 4G is a pay-as-you-go service and thus, there isn’t an internet connection available all the time, because people mostly pay for it when they really require it.
Siri has gone cuckoo
Yes, Siri has become dumber than she was just a few months ago. Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple, himself, has said that Siri has lost her touch. He used to ask her the names of the five biggest lakes in California, and she would answer them correctly, but now she misses them.
At first, people could ask Siri all sorts of questions and get the right answers; however, after five months Siri has reverted back to her alpha stage. This could be because a lot of people are asking Siri questions, and Apple can’t process the answers correctly and in time thus, providing people with fewer intelligent responses. Apple might be thinking that all the iPhone 4S users are doing this to Siri, and they just can’t handle the new iPad users if they had made her available on the new iPad.
Maybe the new iPad gets Siri next year. Until then, the new iPad users will have to make do with the Siri Dictation feature. On the brighter side, people can expect Bluetooth Smart accessories for the new iPad in the near future.

Dual-core A5 chip. The most powerful iPhone ever.

Two cores in the A5 chip deliver up to two times more power and up to seven times faster graphics.² And you’ll feel the effects. Fast. iPhone 4S is quick and responsive, which makes all the difference when you’re launching apps, browsing the web, gaming, and doing just about everything. And no matter what you’re doing, you can keep on doing it. Because the A5 chip is so power-efficient, iPhone 4S has outstanding battery life.

 

 iPhone 4S is great for gamers. The A5 chip pushes graphics up to seven times faster. So games run smoother and they’re even more realistic. And graphics-intensive apps perform even better.

iPad 3 Bisa Tingkatkan Pendapatan Operator Seluler AS

                Tablet terbaru Apple, iPad 3, dijadwalkan untuk diluncurkan hari Rabu (7/3) di Pusat Seni Yerba Buana San Fransisco. Produk tablet tersebut diprediksi tidak hanya akan melonjakkan pendapatan Apple, tapi juga meningkatkan pendapatan operator seluler di AS.
iPad 3 dikabarkan telah didukung oleh jaringan LTE atau 4G dengan tingkat kecepatan unduh data mencapai 10 kali lipat dari teknologi 3G. Dengan kecepatan tersebut, tingkat konsumsi data oleh konsumen juga akan meningkat drastis.
Pada bulan Februari lalu, Cisco Systems memprediksi bahwa penggunaan data pada smartphone akan melonjak dari 150 megabyte per bulan di tahun 2011 menjadi 2,6 gigabyte di tahun 2016 karena adanya dukungan jaringan 4G.
Saat ini, dua operator telekomunikasi terbesar di AS yaitu Verizon Wireless dan AT&T telah menginvestasikan banyak dana untuk membangun jaringan LTE di negara tersebut. Namun, jumlah pengguna jaringan LTE masih sangat sedikit karena device yang mendukung teknologi tersebut belum banyak beredar.
Beredarnya iPad 3 dengan dukungan teknologi LTE tentu akan sangat membantu Verizon dan AT&T dalam menambah jumlah pengguna jaringan 4G serta meningkatkan jumlah penggunaan data. Saat ini, Verizon menerapkan biaya sekitar US$30 untuk penggunaan 2 gigabyte data sedangkan AT&T mematok biaya yang sama untuk akses data hingga 3 gigabyte.
