The rumors regarding what it will bring us the next generation of the iPad They have been relatively restrained this year, perhaps because it has been the iPhone 6 that has garnered most of the attention. Fortunately, in recent days it seems that we are getting more details about its characteristics. More specifically, the latest news suggests that the iPad Air 2 could also come with Retina HD display, like the latest smartphones of the company.
New hints of Retina HD displays
The news did not come through any obscure leak this time around, but instead came from a developer's findings in the beta code of iOS 8.1. As you can see in the image, in this new update there are references to resolutions 1x y 2x, which we can find in the iPad currently on sale, but also at a 3x resolution, which would correspond to a Retina HD display. Keep in mind that it is not the first time that we see that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), develops its software for hardware advances that do not come to fruition, but it is true that on this occasion, the precedents of the improvements introduced in the last generation of the iPhone They seem to give us reason for hope.
What model of the iPad would they reach?
Since the Full HD displays began to reach smartphones with Android has not stopped speculating on the possibility that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), improve the resolution of your iPhone y iPad, to put their screens back to the highest level, something that has finally happened this year with the iPhone 6 y 6 iPhone Plus. If we take into account, however, that in the case of the 4.7-inch model the increase in resolution has been just enough to preserve the pixel density, it could be said that we have really only seen advances in the case of the phablet, which yes that has exceeded PPI 400 (Although, unfortunately, the 400 PPI is no longer any great news, now that there are several devices already above the PPI 500).
When thinking about the incorporation of these screens in the next generation of tablets we find a similar situation, since there is no guarantee that we will see these Retina HD displays in all models, even if they are finally introduced in this generation, and there is the possibility that they will be an exclusive of the future iPad Pro, which is about the one that there have been most insistently rumors in this direction. If it is an evolution designed for this tablet, whose screen is much larger than those of the other models, the jump in resolution would be greatly diminished.
As always, we will have to wait for new information to clear up doubts and, at the latest, we can do it the day October 16, already confirmed for the new Apple event.
