The Cost of an iPad Screen and Connectivity Options

I mean the screen by itself would cost several hundred dollars so I don't really expect to see it as Retina Display. I might they might bump it up a little bit but I don't think it'll be a very very high resolution screen, uh do I think the iPad will have a USB. yeah like I was saying earlier I would be surprised um but I really wouldn't expect it's one of those possibilities where it'd be nice but I'm not really sure if Apple's actually ready to make that next step of actually having you know having allowing you to actually connect your devices to the iPad because really they're they're kind of ideas that everything is kind of connects to the computer you know so you take your iPad and it syncs with the computer so it's not like it's a standalone device you have to go ahead and have a computer to do it so I'm not I'm not really sure if they're going to put a USB. I think it's possible but I really wouldn't expect it.

Do You Think the iPad 2 Will Be Cheaper?

actually that's a great question yeah I do think it will be cheaper um now well 500 is not all that bad for the base model iPad um I definitely think they could do a lot better and especially with a lot of the new tablets they'll be actually coming out on contract so I'm sure a lot of them will be about at the same price as a phone on contract with you know through whatever cellular provider you have so I really think that the iPad needs to Apple needs to step it up with the next iPad um you know cut the price probably I would I probably guess I would cut it um not a lot but I do need to cut it down some to get into you know the realm of affordability so I think they will sell a lot more if they can cut the price on um other currently apps that only work with the iPad yeah yeah there are uh the thing is the way the iPad works if you if you don't have one or you've never used one before is that the iPad can run any iPhone an iPod Touch app as well as any iPad app and the iPhone and iPod Touch app so they basically just are just blown up on the screen they don't they basically just run straight up and then there are custom apps for the iPad that will only run on the iPad so yeah it will pretty much do any sort of app uh dude I think they will release the seven inch version of the iPad 2. again I kind of talked about this a little bit in the video I think it's a possibility I just really wouldn't expect it because Apple it really wouldn't help Apple that much I mean they're selling an iPad they have a niche um well I mean I obviously think they could do it and I don't really think it would be you know it would hurt the normal sales or whatever but I just really don't see a big benefit for Apple I mean they would probably have to cut the price some and you know obviously Apple hates you know the cut price they want you to sell them as much as expensive devices they can so possible I just again I just really don't expect it.

SD Card Slot on the iPad

uh do you think there'll be an SD card slot slash micro SD card slot on the iPad too uh probably not Apple makes a lot of money selling you the upgrades as far as the internal storage um so we'll take for example you know the iPad it comes in 16 32 and 64 gigabytes and at the six now that obviously you have to jump up and pay a lot more money now the memory itself does not cost that much money when you go if Apple makes way way more money on a 64 gigabyte iPod I mean an iPad rather than at 16 gigabytes so I really doubt that they will give you an option to go ahead and use your own storage and not have to pay their exorbitant prices for memory uh so anyway guys that's about it

I'd Like to Thank You Guys for Watching

I'd like to thank you guys for watching and if you enjoyed feel free to subscribe I do D3 live every Saturday at three o'clock Eastern time so go ahead feel free to subscribe I post a video letting everyone know right before I go live you guys can go ahead and watch it live so anyway guys thanks for watching

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys and welcome to this week's episode of D3 live uh so today we're going to be talking about the next generation iPad the iPad 2 the iPad 2G whatever you want to call it is going to be the next iPad and Apple's lineup uh so there is a lot of speculation going on about this right now and there are a lot of different ways that Apple could go and now of course it's several months out so we don't have anything concrete however we do know quite a bit about it I'll go ahead and give you guys some of my opinions and some of what I think we should expect here uh so the first and probably the most obvious thing is going to be cameras uh so I absolutely have no doubt whatsoever that there will be a front-facing camera for use with FaceTime on the iPad 2. you know this just makes sense obviously there is a FaceTime camera in the iPhone 4 as well as a FaceTime camera and the iPod Touch so I see no reason I would be very very shocked if there was not a front-facing camera in the iPad second generation uh now there very well also could be a rear-facing camera so if you take a look at a lot of the recent tablets that are coming out a lot of them do have a front and a rear facing camera personally with something inside of the iPad I think it'd be a little awkward to go ahead and hold it and try to film however camera's been really getting so cheap these days and they're being so ubiquitous that you know they're just on all kinds of our electronic devices that I wouldn't be surprised if we do see a rear-facing camera however I definitely do expect a front-facing camera at least now also I think that the iPad's design will be tweaked a little bit now obviously the iPad for its size is very thin and it's a very good looking device however as Apple always tends to do they'll probably get a little tweaked here I'm sure it might get a little bit thinner the bezel might shrink the screen might change a little bit size I would expect a lot of you know smaller improvements because the way Apple likes to do it you know the first generation and then the second generation a lot of the times they'll just instead of you know like totally overhauling it so for example take a look at you know the original iPod touch and the iPod Touch second generation mostly the same thing but I'm sure they'll make and small tweaks maybe make it thinner etc etc but overall I do think we will be looking at a very similar looking iPad just you know with a few minor improvements now moving on to some of what uh inside the device I do think that we will be getting a much upgraded uh specs in the iPad 2. and now of course the iPad was the first device to launch with the Apple A4 processor however it's almost already outdated and indeed it will be here next year once the iPad is released so expect we will see the next generation of Apple A4 processor maybe the A5 or whatever they want to do now as far as how what kind of specs it will have that's I think it's a little still a little bit up in the ear right now however if you look at one of the major competitors for next year the Blackberry the new Blackberry tablet which has a one gigahertz dual core processor definitely do not think it would be a stretch to see a dual core processor in the new next iPad so again there's not really a little bit of speculation we don't know exactly what we're going to see and very well could stick with the same processor however I think that Apple would do would be pretty smart to go ahead and bump up the power to keep on top of all its competition uh I'm speaking of that I also do expect to see a lot more RAM the iPad actually has quite a bit less Ram than the iPhone so I definitely think for multitasking if they do more RAM and they go ahead and put a bit of a more powerful processor I think that would definitely go quite a ways uh so those are the pretty safe bits I don't think that we're going to see a radically new iPad um I don't really expect to see you know a smaller version of the iPad I think it's possible that we could see a seven inch variety but I wouldn't exactly bet on it so that's why pretty much what I expect to see however there are quite a few other rumors that are going around that very well could be uh you know could be true so including in these are the seven inch display um so I don't think this would be a bad idea to have maybe like the standard iPad and then you know like a mini iPad or whatever you want to call it um I think this could happen uh especially considering that pretty much all the tablets that are coming out seem to be about seven inches or so uh so that wouldn't be a bad idea um another thing is that they actually might get get rid of the 30 pin dot connector so actually a lot of people are kind of moving forward towards the micro USB format and indeed the iPhone looks like it probably will go to micro USB next year I would be surprised if they go ahead and change that in the iPad too um and indeed what would be really cool is they actually added a regular USB port so you can go ahead you know plug in all of your flash drives or anything like that but again a lot of these predictions are kind of a little bit out there and I don't fully expect to see all of them we might see one or two but really not you know we're not going to go ahead and see the you know everything that we are just dreaming about on the next iPad so guys that's pretty much it for my rundown of what's expected in the iPad 2. again overall I don't think it's going to be a huge change if you already have the current generation iPad you know it's not going to be something totally revolutionary I don't see you know a retina display I think that's kind of a bit ridiculous because you know if it was a retina display on the size of the iPad screen it would be the resolution would be more than what Apple charges a thousand dollars for on their 30 inch display so I don't think that's going to happen at all so a lot of you know the kind of crazy things I don't expect but I do expect it will be a pretty modest and pretty nice upgrade okay so for the second segment of D3 live I'll be taking live questions so of course as always every episode of D3 live is filmed in front of a live audience on Blog TV we have a lot of people in here right now so we'll go ahead and just take some questions you know just about iPads and you know Apple in general uh dude I think the iPad 2 will have flash uh no and no I don't well I don't think it will have flash on the device itself I really doubt that uh now there might be a camera flash which I'm not sure if that's what you meant but um as far as you know Adobe flashes and actually in the browser I highly doubt it I don't think that's ever gonna come I just don't see it happening um is the iPod 4th generation worth it absolutely uh I really enjoy my iPod Touch 4th generation uh I really like because the switch got so much more than previous versions I mean the cameras are really pretty high quality as far as I'm concerned um it's very fast Retina display looks great uh personally I I have no problems whatsoever I highly recommend if you're in the market for something like an iPod touch you will not be disappointed with the fourth generation the only thing the iPad 2 will have AirPlay live Apple TV absolutely uh in fact the airplay is actually going to be coming to the standard iPad but uh yeah I think AirPlay again just like with uh all the Apple stuff they're gonna slowly start working it out into everything and I expect that yeah probably here in the next few months to year so we'll have airplay on pretty much all the Apple devices hopefully you know iTunes I'll just about everything um the iPad will have a retina display but we'll have an HD resolution uh now yeah that's the thing people say the retina display you know like like in the iPod Touch 4th generation it's kind of a people just like to say the word right to display the words right in the display uh basically the way it works is a retina display is just counting like how many pixels how high resolution the screen is now the thing with the iPad though is it really is not a very high resolution screen in fact I mean it's about the same resolution as you know an old you know 10 year old monitor it's not it's not that great uh now I'm not sure what we'll exactly see out of the iPad um I do expect that it probably will be bumped up a little bit in resolution but I don't think it will be you know like you know 1920 by 1080 I don't think it's going to be a 1080p screen I mean that would just be unbelievably expensive for you know an iPad that I mean the screen by itself would cost several hundred dollars so I don't really expect to see it Retina Display I might they might bump it up a little bit but I don't think it'll be a very very high resolution screen uh do I think the iPad will have a USB uh yeah like I was saying earlier I would be surprised um but I really wouldn't expect I think it's one of those possibilities where it'd be nice but I'm not really sure if Apple's actually ready to make that next step of actually having you know having allowing you to actually connect your devices to the iPad because really they're they're kind of ideas that everything is kind of connects to the computer you know so you take your iPad and it syncs with the computer so it's not like it's a standalone device you have to go ahead and have a computer to do it so I'm not I'm not really sure if they're going to put a USB I think it's possible but I really wouldn't expect it do you think the iPad 2 will be cheaper actually that's a great question yeah I do think it will be cheaper uh now well 500 is not all that bad for the base model iPad um I definitely think they could do a lot better and especially with a lot of the new tablets they'll be actually coming out on contract so I'm sure a lot of them will be about at the same price as a phone on contract with you know through whatever cellular provider you have so I really think that the iPad needs to the Apple needs to step it up with the next iPad um you know cut the price probably I would I probably guess I would cut it um not a lot but I do need to cut it down some to get into you know the realm of you know more more affordable affordability so I think they will sell a lot more if they can cut the price on um other currently apps that only work with the iPad yeah yeah there are uh the thing is the way the iPad works if you if you don't have one or you've never used one before is that the iPad can run any iPhone an iPod Touch app as well as any iPad app and the iPhone and iPod Touch app so they basically just are just blown up on the screen they don't they basically just run straight up and then there are custom apps for the iPad that will only run on the iPad so yeah it will pretty much do any sort of app uh dude I think they will release the seven inch version of the iPad 2. again I kind of talked about this a little bit in the video I think it's a possibility I just really wouldn't expect it because Apple it really wouldn't help Apple that much I mean they're selling an iPad they have a niche um well I mean I obviously think they could do it and I don't really think it would be you know it would hurt the normal sales or whatever but I just really don't see a big benefit for Apple I mean they would probably have to cut the price some and you know obviously Apple hates you know the cut price they want you to sell they want to sell you as much as expensive devices they can so possible I just again I just really don't expect it uh do you think there'll be an SD card slot slash micro SD card slot on the iPad too uh probably not Apple makes a lot of money selling you the upgrades as far as the internal storage um so we'll take for example you know the iPad it comes in 16 32 and 64 gigabytes and at the six now that obviously you have to jump up and pay a lot more money now the memory itself does not cost that much money when you go if Apple makes way way more money on a 64 gigabyte iPod I mean
