what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here at the head tag comparison of two tablets look the same on the outside but are different on the inside we've got the new iPad here on the left and we've got the ipad 2 sitting right there on the right we're going to put these two head-to-head and decide whether or not upgrading is right for you or whether they're not picking up a new iPad is going to be the right call for you to make let's go ahead and get started so just to reiterate we've got new iPad here on the Left ipad 2 here on the right let me go ahead and show you a few things photos are the only application open on each and brightness is currently set to max on both just so you can see the difference as I go through and talk go ahead and close both of these guys alright let's go and talk about screens screens are the main difference here on both iPads a lot has been made about its resolution airy display and that is of course the retina display at the resolution of 240 8 x 1536 double the resolution found on that guy the iPad 1 alright so resolutions higher what is that really gonna mean to you let me go and show you a few pictures and show you a few examples of what the screen is going to mean so we'll go ahead and open up pictures and there's a picture one of the cutest puppies I know that is Lucy and right off the bat you see a difference between the brightness and what these things look like again both set to max brightness I never thought the screen on the ipad 2 was particularly dark or dull but certainly looking head-to-head you can definitely see a difference it's akin to going to your local big box store looking at do televisions you look at a lower resolution television right next to a higher resolution television you can see a difference when the next to each other if you take that lower resolution set home it's going to look fine up on your wall that's certainly the same thing here go ahead and zoom in on that little smoochy face again you can start to see a bit of difference there as well let's go and take a look at video since these are video powerhouse machines and see what video looks like I'm both so we've got an episode of deadwood here cued up let's go ahead play and it's the ipad 3 on top and the ipad 2 down below volumes been turned down here and you can see the difference there as well same thing we saw a picture on pictures it's definitely brighter and certainly more crisp when you're looking at HD video especially you look at them side-by-side so video certainly the new iPad as expected looks better but nothing Giants certainly alone not a reason to upgrade all right so next talking about screen let's go ahead and talk about texts since might do a lot of reading on here whether it's books or web so we're going to open up safari on each now let's go ahead and load up technobuffalo calm on both and we can see what's text is going to look like and how things render so we'll go ahead and start right up where the first article begins and again the brightness you can see the same thing we saw on pictures if we go ahead and click on an article so so you'll hit the rovio one for example text is one of the areas we really can see a noticeable difference here let me go ahead and scroll down to where we see text if you can see a difference there on camera you know oftentimes all the stuff that I'm talking about doesn't always translate that well from camera to whatever you're viewing but hopefully be able to see the finest of the font they're looking at both of them so there's that but what about apps we all play games we all use the iPad for all kinds of fun stuff it's going to take a look at one of the most graphically impressive games that's around and that is of course infinity blade now certainly as developers begin to develop more for the new iPad will see better graphics come up this guy does have support for quad-core graphics let's go and open up infinity blade real quickly and just take a look at what that's going to look like on each and again you probably see a difference between these two as development continues and as we're able to take advantage of the raw horsepower found in the new iPad but Infinity Blade 2 on both that one's all right so in this is infinity blade it's a little bit of a dark introduction but you can definitely see a difference here between the two of these really impressive graphics especially for a mobile console those have been a sort of a short quick look at infinity blade it's going clothes out of this next cling let's talk about speed and opening up applications whether or not there's really a noticeable difference or not so I'm going to close everything that was open just to keep things even and we've got the same applications open on each and there's nothing else open their do the same thing here on the new iPad living on the left we'll go and try some sir familiar applications and again as developers can take advantage of the horsepower and I graphics capabilities so assuming we'll see faster upload speeds let's go and take a look at something like pages for example it's a pretty large program let's see how that opens up on both I can hit him at the same time so opened up certainly quicker on the new iPad you know as you'd expect so there is something to keep in mind and certainly as I use both I'm seeing that this does open applications a little bit quicker pages just being one of those examples all right so the other big difference here aside from the screen is LTE let's go ahead and check out some LTE speeds both these guys are connected to Wi-Fi in fact let's run a speedtest show how quick the Wi-Fi network is here and I'm going to put a head-to-head against LTE so if i can find my speed test app which is right there well we'll see what LTE is going to compare it so go ahead and let that run in the meantime I'm going to turn off Wi-Fi on this guy go into settings and turn on LT I'm going to turn off Wi-Fi so a pretty nice network speed here go ahead and kick on cellular data so decently fast a Wi-Fi network here go ahead make that a little bit bigger we're getting 15 ish down about 2.7 up usually we're a little faster on the up but that's what it's showing so we've got verizon LTE here let's go ahead and run a speedtest on this guy and I saw my speed test app somewhere there it is and see what we're getting again this is going to vary depending on where you live we're in Southern California with about three bars of verizon LTE let's go and check out the speeds here so generally the speeds we're seeing are in the seven ish looks like we're a little bit slower today five something upload speeds are generally pretty good on verizon's LTE you can see right here upload speeds are incredible ok so a little bit slower on the downloader lots download fashion on the upload that's great these are just numbers what does that mean for real life well let's go ahead and test some real life stuff as well i'm gonna go ahead and close out everything that's open here yet again just keep things even in fair and i'm going to go ahead and reset cookies and cache and all that rest of that business they at least get am hopefully a fair test so i'll do that here on the ipad 2 and do it all on camera so you guys can see nothing those shenanigans going on here will clear history oops clear and we'll go ahead and clear cookies and data cleared and we'll do the same thing here on the new ipad that i keep wanting to call the ipad 3 safari go ahead and clear history and will clear cookies and data alright so i am on LTE here and i am on Wi-Fi there will load a couple web page and see how things look going to open these up and let's go ahead and load technobuffalo calm on each go ahead and push it there there and let go and let's see if we have any sort of difference despite that big network speed looks like we've seen the content first on Wi-Fi and it's done on Wi-Fi and done just a second or two later on LTE so still very very fast alright let's go ahead and take a look at video for example let's go ahead and jump in to youtube and see if there's a big difference here as well we'll go look at featured do featured here and take a look at the Prometheus trailer and see how things load actually take a look the new angry birds space kind of excited about that game watching my second lower second later on Wi-Fi see if that matters so still playing now here on LTE so even though I hit that a second later that's definitely loaded even faster so LTE is a huge difference here if you do a lot of traveling like me you're going to be really happy to have those extra LTE speeds so certainly something to bear in mind in my usage Wi-Fi and LTE have been almost identically as fast and we sort of saw that here as well camera big difference here are the cameras as well the front cameras are equally stinky but the back is where the difference is we've got a 1080p 5 megapixel shooter we did a video showing head-to-head video footage and also showing what pictures look like you can check that out certainly we saw a difference but camera on the ipad 2 was abysmal i absolutely awful anything even me sketching by hand would have been better than the camera on the ipad 2 so if you use your ipad for a lot of photos or videos or you think you might certainly an awkward camera to use you're going to want to consider looking at the new ipad battery so we've got pretty much double the battery in here then we've got here but usage wise has been just about the same LTE is certainly a bigger battery drains if we turn that off the higher-resolution display it's got a power more pixels bigger battery drain it's been almost identical generally I get about nine and a half ish hours on each I haven't seen any difference in battery life from a size comparison and I can get all technical on you the new iPads a little bit thicker and it's a little bit heavier can see it's right there on the right but nothing noticeable you feel the difference the first time you pick it up and after that sort of just become used to it so don't let any difference in size or weight worried about you were you a lot of reports on overheating on the new iPad certainly runs a little bit warmer but hasn't caught fire yet for me so let's go ahead and draw a conclusion what should you do with the iPads did you upgrade to do not if you have an iPad 2 it's not worth the upgrade in my opinion it's only worth the upgrade if you're a road warrior and you use a lot of mobile data on your iPad then LTE is going to be a really welcome addition otherwise I just can't recommend the new iPad over the ipad 2 if you have an ipad to the screen looks nicer but once you have the ipad 2 at home and you don't know what the ipad 3 screen looks like it's not next to you to compare really not going to notice that much of a difference i always thought to be on the ipad 2 is actually pretty solid the camera i don't use that much doesn't been that big a difference to me if you're a big camera guy or girl and you want to take a lot of photos then maybe consider upgrading to the new ipad if you don't have a tablet already in your zagging whether or not to pick up the ipad 2 versus a new ipad definitely go for the upgrade in the new iPad now you're going to get the better screen you're going to get LTE and all for you know just a little bit more money it's sort of tough to compare these two and give a recommendation but in conclusion I don't believe the I new iPads worth the upgrade if you have a perfectly functioning working ipad 2 looking to jump into the ipad market the new ipad represents a really great value proposition for my money it's still the best tablet on the market i'm jon rettinger and TechnoBuffalo hope you enjoyed this versus tablet battle I'll see you guys in the next video do you agree or disagree leave your
