If we compare our ipad with a tablet that has a smaller screen you can see that our screen is larger

 

[Divvy]

Will they compare hd video and measure the size of the black bars too?

 

[Nilaul]

It's a whole new machine with an A6X processor. "We are so far ahead of the competition I can't even see them in the rear-view mirror.

Until the competition decided to shove the i3, i5 and the new Atom into tablets.

 

[JackEtc]

I wish they would get rid of the back camera to cut costs (and keep all the fools from holding their ipads up to take pictures)

 

[acheron_xl]

The only way they don't seem like incredible cocks after spending that much time shitting on the Nexus is if they come out swinging just as hard with the price.

 

[cjkeats]

Gonna cost more than the N7, that' why they're shitting on it so hard.

 

[plainr_]

Going for the kill with those comparisons.

 

[brotkasten]

I love the "look at how bad this shit is" part.

Nah, it still needs an IGZO display and to go back to its previous thinness/charge times. And a new industrial design. It'll get an update, I think.

Yeah. While my brain snapped out for a second, I'm back now and this really isn't a generational leap. I want the same design of the iPad mini (all black) and a laminated display. I'm also wondering if they bumped the RAM, but I doubt it.

But the problem is the release date. Now that they are bringing this out in the Fall, I expect the next release this time next year and I can't wait that long. I'm still using an OG iPad.

 

[Subliminal]

Don't all of the tech companies do this?

No, They don't spend 5 minutes showing screenshots of a competitors device and screaming

"LOOK HOW MUCH BETTER WE ARE!!!!"

 

[Kiraly]

this will never be <400 USD

 

[ZedIndyLil]

YES LTE

 

[MThanded]

Leaked video earlier was fake.

 

[VoxPop]

A5, LTE versions, FaceTime HD camera, 5MP iSight camera around back.

forgot N7 has none of these except maybe the front facing camera

 

[kharma45]

Who'd have thought 8" 4:3 is bigger than 7" 16:9, amazing scenes.

Apple must be actually worried about Google to bring out the direct comparisons.

 

[Jal]

Poor google.

 

[Enco]

The app comparisons are great. So true.

 

[Duxxy3]

So they're comparing a 7" tablet to a 7.9" tablet and how it has a larger screen... no fucking shit sherlock.


Edit: its slower than a nexus 7.

 

[Cloudy]

What's the price, homie?

 

[entremet]

Nexus 7's 16:9 screen beats 4:3. Can't believe they're even arguing this.

For movies, maybe. But for browsing, idk.

 

[grimshawish]

Wow, Apple is really scared of Google now. Odd to see them do this.

Depending on the price of the Mini it could be a great presentation; but I doubt it.

 

[enzo_gt]

Dat eternal saltiness

 

[ckohler]

This is a shrunken iPad 2 so they can sell it cheap. Watch.

 

[nib95]

Excellent examples;

4:3 ftw.

Not quite as useful when viewing videos those. Having said that, it was a great point by Apple, and part of the reason why so many people are ditching the iPhone. It's basically exactly this scenario but in reverse, with Android devices having bigger screens and more screen real estate.

But price will be the main deciding factor.

 

[MRORANGE]

I just bought an iPad3 2 months ago. I want a refund.

bwaahahahaha

 

[Reave]

Google will retaliate.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

Re: Shots Fired
Unless the iPad mini is $200, then whatever.

Deserves repeating. Nexus is awesome *and* inexpensive.

 

[polyh3dron]

Dem android apps are terrible. Thing I hate most about my nex7.

If the apps suck, what is it that you like about it?

 

[buhdeh]

How is this not just a shrunken down iPad?

 

[ashrafazlan]

love how the nexus tablet screen is dimmer than the ipad.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Time for a video. Cue up Jonathan's o face!

 

[Brinbe]

lol price bitches, on with it

 

[smokeandmirrors]

$250

 

[Aiii]

No, They don't spend 5 minutes showing screenshots of a competitors device and screaming

"LOOK HOW MUCH BETTER WE ARE!!!!"

You'd almost think they're trying to convince people to buy their device instead of it's main competition.

Nah, that would be ridiculous, amirite?

 

[Dunlop]

Admit-tingly not an Apple fan but why is a proprietary wire constantly touted as a feature?

 

[ChackanKun]

I just bought an iPad3 2 months ago. I want a refund.

Why? It's like asking for a refund for an IPad because they showed the new IPhone. Different segments.

Or is everyone assuming Apple is gonna drop the 10" screens lol?

 

[Dead Prince]

Gonna cost more than the N7, that' why they're shitting on it so hard.

more bang for your bucks bro.

 

[CrankyJay]

This thing is gonna be $199...they're going for Google.

 

[Kodiak]

Can they rip Kindle's throat out with the price?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Magical!

 

[numble]

Mansfield/Ive porno starting.

 

[SlowRevolution]

I wish they'd get Ive to show up to the actual event, always like his videos.

 

[Retrocide]

Odd to see Apple having to compare themselves to another product, rather than establishing the market. I actually don't think it's that necessary; the Mini will kill every other tablet anyway (barring a high price).

This....I'm completely surprised they are doing this. If they have a good price point the Nexus 7 is already dead...no need to compare.

 

[noah111]

Apple shitting on Nexus 7 hard :lol

Phil was practically panting while doing it as well. :lol

 

[bounchfx]

If this is 199$ I will buy it without a second thought.

 

[smr00]

$250

Really? RIP Nexus and every other $200-250 tablet that isn't Kindle.

 

[xxracerxx]

iPad4 was just announced, that's why.

 

[flyover]

How is this not just a shrunken down iPad?

Because it's just not, okay! (Still think it's great. I just don't know why he said it wasn't a smaller iPad.)

 

[ari]

So they're comparing a 7" tablet to a 7.9" tablet and how it has a larger screen... no fucking shit sherlock.

People are eating this shit up also...pretty sad at the state of tech with fanboys and shit.

 

[BertramCooper]

Man, you are big.

Uhh, not really.

Nexus 7 fits fairly easily into most pockets, unless you have a cover on it.

 

[polyh3dron]

New Order cover
