IPad Pro 10.5 “: Test the Smart Keyboard, a keyboard that promises the experience of inputting a MacBook

sivertime — Mon, 26 Jun 2017 17:04:44 +0000

Launched with the first iPad Pro of 12.9 inches, the Smart Keyboard is back in its version AZERTY with the new iPad Pro of 10.5 “I tested it, and here is my verdict!
That says new iPad Pro, says new Smart Keyboard. Apple has taken advantage of the launch of its new tablets to unveil new keyboards. And at a time when these lines are written, this headed product has very little competition, apart from the Logitech Slim Combo which also relies on the Smart Connector to be plugged into the new iPad Pro . Iteration of the Smart Cover, the Smart Keyboard offers a cover capable of protecting the screen of your iPad, while offering you several positions of supports for your tablet. But does the Smart Keyboard really offer the same input experience as a MacBook? Answers in the next lines of my test.
What surprised me first is the thinness and lightness of the Smart Keyboard. Once connected with the iPad Pro 10.5 “I recently tested , I ended up with a kind of hybrid laptop … a bit like what Microsoft does with its Surface Pro. Not to say that the Smart Keyboard does not require a time of adaptation.I personally needed an hour before I felt comfortable with its format dedicated to the iPad Pro 10.5 “and its coating A bit special . Unlike most of its competitors, the Smart Keyboard does not offer Apple keyboard shortcuts for Mac OS or iOS. What prompted me to resort to Siri to change the volume, Access the media player or enable multitasking. This is a bit of a shame because it removes a bit the “Smart” side of this Apple keyboard.
If it does not offer protection for the back of the tablet Apple (for this, it will cost 149 euros to Apple to obtain the leather case that offers storage for Apple Pencil), Smart Keyboard has the advantage of being foldable. But its soft keys that do not benefit from backlighting make the Smart Keyboard not one of the best keyboards . This is quite frustrating when you know the quality of the keyboards for MacBook and the importance of this accessory for the iPad Pro.

Tablets, pens … Will they make us zap the paper and the pen?

sivertime — Fri, 23 Jun 2017 14:53:02 +0000

Today, the pen has taken on a phenomenal importance in our use of digital. The end of the pen … Myth or reality?
New technologies are flying. Today, with systems like iOS 11 on the iPad Pro 10.5, one wonders whether buying a laptop is still useful . The Ipsos Institute questioned the French about their digital practice, and it can be said that the literary duel VS matheux has a hard life. Whether you’re more like ” Geek ” or rather ” Bed ”, you will not escape the digitization of writing . But are scientists ready for this change? And the literary in all this? MeltyStyle gives you some answers right now.
If the mentees feel ready to give up the pen for the stylus, 80% of the literature is much more shared. But the digitization of the literature is faster than one thinks … In the literary, the pen remains a sure value, the keyboard comes in first position and 36% of them consider switching to the digital pen without problem. Nowadays, the tablets imitate the path of the pen to be mistaken . Is the end of the paper / pen marked?
With 1024 pressure points and a wide choice of mines, the new-generation styluses are easily adapted to touch screens such as those in the Surface range . Surface Pen, Apple Pencil … All these technologies allow us to write naturally on our screens like a sheet of paper, while forgetting the constraints and leaving our creativity free. In fact, we could almost do without the paper and the pen … But rest assured, these tools will not disappear overnight! So, rather keyboard, pen or stylus?

Samsung becomes leader in the tablet market, the iPad no longer has the monopoly!

sivertime — Tue, 23 May 2017 16:35:18 +0000

Samsung surpasses Apple and becomes world leader on tablets. Sales of the Apple iPad that dominated the market are in free fall …
Samsung weighs more than ever in the game! After recovering its leading position in the smartphone market in the first quarter of 2017 , the South Korean firm has grown on that of tablets … Result it passed Apple, which was firmly hooked to its first place thanks to the ” IPad over the last few years. With a 26.5% increase in market share, Samsung did better than its US competitor and its 21.7%. A fall rather consistent for Apple, which could well get worse …
A small victory for Samsung, which also imposes itself on the chip market and which intends to exceed Intel by the end of the second quarter of 2017. Number 1 since 1993, the company tends to rest on its laurels. But she would do well to take Samsung more seriously. Since joining Qualcomm for its chips, the Korean brand has established itself in this new sector. Notwithstanding Apple’s already has a tooth against Qualcomm … It remains to be seen if the new iPad planned for the WWDC 2017 will change the deal. Moreover, the rumor is that Apple could stop the production of iPad Mini . Has the Apple decided not to be burdened with this tablet become obsolete among its users? The mystery remains entire. And you, rather Apple or Samsung?

IPad mini: What if Apple stopped producing the tablet?

sivertime — Wed, 17 May 2017 14:58:26 +0000

The future of the iPad mini seems uncertain at Apple. The Cupertino firm should even stop production of the smallest tablet in the range according to a source. What is it?
Since 2012, Apple had bet on a smaller version – and especially less expensive – of its iPad tablet. Named simply iPad mini, the product has had four generations, the last of which was released in 2015. Since then, it is true that its non-renewal surprised somewhat the world of high-tech and we even wondered about the end of the ” IPad mini 4, a few days ago . With the murmured arrival of a new iPad 10.5 inches to the next WWDC, the issue of the iPad mini is back on the mat. Our colleagues from BGR through their source close to Apple would have found the answer to our question. And it is radical. The iPad mini would simply not have a suite, Apple dropping its tablet well.
Still according to this source of BGR , the sales are “clear enough” not to clutter more with the iPad mini. Concretely, knowing that the tablets are currently suffering on this point, the iPad mini was no exception. In addition, the size (7.9 inches) would no longer be suitable. The arrival of the iPhone 7 More than 5.5 inches has hurt the tablet, the smartphone replacing perfectly the iPad mini. Apple should therefore focus more on the iPad 9.7 inches and the iPad Pro in the future. However, BGR tempers by explaining that all this could only be temporary. The site does not have the certainty that the end of the iPad mini is definitive. Too bad for the tablet that had real assets by offering an interesting alternative. Now you can fall back on the iPad version 2017 nicknamed the iPhone SE head tablets .

IPad 2017: 15 days to test the new Apple tablet, my verdict!

sivertime — Fri, 21 Apr 2017 14:18:37 +0000

Apple launched, a few weeks ago, its cheapest tablet. This is the iPad 2017. I tested it and here is my verdict.
La Pomme never ceases to surprise us. At the end of March, the Cupertino company launched its iPad 2017. This headed tablet was delivered to us two weeks ago. And since then I have been able to personally watch videos, surf and learn on this head tablet thanks to the app MyScript Calculator. But the first thing I wanted to do, after unpacking this new 9.7-inch iPad, is to use it as a video player to watch, for example, series in bed . So I installed the myCanal app. The result is beyond my expectations.
Whether watching a VOD series or a UEFA Champions League game as good as Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich, the colors are mind-blowing and the screen adapts to all the lighting conditions, from the sunny terrace To the room plunged into the darkness. The True Tone association and the Night Shift mode that was created to protect our eyes at night makes real wonders. The new 9.7-inch iPad features the brightest screen I’ve ever tested, any high-tech device combined.
I love it more than necessary, this iPad unfortunately did not allow me to replace my MacBook Pro. But who knows, the future iPhone may be able to zap our computer. And since the use of a tablet at the office or at the Fac is limited, in most of the time, to taking notes or surfing on the Internet then, the iPad 2017 is a real war machine. But that’s not all. The first iPad of the year also goes devilishly fast. Moving from one app to another is a real kif, it never seemed overdue on what I was asking. Whether you’re looking for a pair of sneakers on the SNS website or a shell on the Amazon app or the Fnac app, it’s the perfect tablet to heat the CB from its bed .
And as Apple put a lot on education and learning, the Californian giant did not do things half with his tablet. Whether learning to code with Swift Playgrounds, reading books on its big screen, increasing productivity with Microsoft Office and multitasking features like Split Screen or simply creating videos with the Clips app Which delights us with writing , the iPad can accompany you everywhere and meet your expectations . So you understood. Everything justifies the purchase of this new iPad whose price starts at 409 euros, by ICI.

Apple: What if the iPhone made you zapper your MacBook for good?

sivertime — Thu, 20 Apr 2017 17:15:01 +0000

If the iPad was announced as the replacement for the Apple Mac, the iPhone 7 Plus now has nothing to envy the 12-inch MacBook. So, does the headset smartphone really replace the computer?
For years, we have long talked about the iPad as the best alternative to the Apple Mac. But it must be admitted that the head tablet has not yet managed to make us zap the computer. At the latest news, Apple imagines a fusion between an iPhone and MacBook . But we can go further. In terms of raw performance, the iPhone 7 Plus does not have to blush before a high-end 12-inch MacBook . So, a nagging question arises: Can the Apple smartphone definitely replace the Mac? We will try to answer them in the next lines.
Over the course of the year, the performances of the iPhone have not stopped evolving. Thanks to its powerful mobile chip, the iPhone 7 crushes almost all the competition . But during that time, the performance of the Mac lost a bit of their superb. By the time the 2016 iPhone is as powerful as an entry-level MacBook, 2017 could be the year of the revolution at Apple including its iPhone anniversary. Well, high-end headphones are a little bit faster than the iPhone 7 for the heaviest tasks . But, the headed smartphone can already meet all our expectations.
Apple: What if the iPhone made you zapper your MacBook for good?
Can the iPhone really zap the MacBook? Samsung is succeeding this bet, with its brand new Galaxy S8. With the DeX, a dock that is sold separately , the smartphone can become a real desktop computer. But this function is primarily targeted at the professional market, so at meltyStyle, Apple is expected to find another solution that will delight its millions of fans . One thing is for sure, nothing stops the progress at Apple .

MacBook, iPhone, iPad … Here’s how to insert an emoji quickly from your keyboard

sivertime — Tue, 18 Apr 2017 15:40:07 +0000

The emojis are everywhere. Today, nearly 2000 emojis are available. And here’s a trick to insert them quickly from your iPhone, iPad or MacBook
Today, there are nearly 2,000 emojis and their numbers are constantly increasing. As a result, the iOS keyboard dedicated to emojis is no longer very effective to find the right one. On the Touch Bar of my MacBook Pro 2016, the situation is no more obvious . You have to scroll and still scroll to find the correct emoji. But luckily, an effective solution can change your relationship with emojis. On the various terminals headed under iOS 10, keyboard suggestions suggest words, but not that. Emojis are sometimes offered and meltyStyle explains how to enjoy it on your iPhone or iPad, even your MacBook.
IPhone / iPad
On an iPhone or iPad on iOS 10, if you enter the word “watch”, Apple’s mobile system will automatically offer you this emoji: . And if you type the word “cat”, you will have that: ????, or ???? By writing “fire” or “flame”. This tip also works with feelings. The fact of being content is associated, for example with the emoji ????. If your keyboard does not display these predictions in emoji mode, you probably have disabled them. To enjoy it again, you have to click on the button between the key 123 and the microphone and validate the “Prediction” . You can then have fun testing several words.
MacBook
If you want to insert an emoji quickly on your headed computer, manipulating ” ctrl cmd space” will allow you to open the array of emojis. And to find the right one, you can simply type the word that corresponds to the emoji sought. It’s simple and effective, especially to find emojis that you are not used to using. Otherwise, you can always try to get a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar in promotion.

I tested the Bose QC 30, the kings of earphones for iPhone and iPad!

sivertime — Thu, 13 Apr 2017 16:44:28 +0000

The Bose QuietControl 30 headphones made my ears happy. After an easy pairing on the iPhone 7 and / or the MacBook Pro 2016, I was able to test the new kings of noise-canceling headphones.
Bose regale with its anti-noise headphones and headphones. I had the opportunity to test the Bose QC30 with my iPhone 7. And frankly, I enjoyed myself. In terms of comfort, the new Bose headphones are perfect. You do not feel the neck or headphones, even when you fall asleep with. Beyond this good grip , the noise reduction is perfect. Not only is it convincing but it can also be adjusted as a simple volume . In other words, this noise reduction can also be modified to listen to the ambient sound.
Without having the ear of a great music lover, I quickly was seduced by the quality of the new headphones from Bose. There is no photo with the AirPods, for example. Resistant to perspiration, the Bose QC30 headphones can also be used during your sports sessions . But if you expected to shoot the REAL successor of the QC20 in wireless, the disappointment will be great. The QC30 are rather a more powerful version of the SoundSport wireless that has been tested and which brings the reduction of noise and a better autonomy
But I also found some flaws in Bose headphones. It all starts with the Bose application that makes it easy to pair your device. But apart from that, do not expect much from this app. It does not propose an equalizer for example and it is frankly a pity. Another blackhead is the absence of a jack that prevents the use of the helmet in an airplane seat. But overall, the Bose QC30 earphones are very appreciable. And you can get them by HERE , at the price of 300 euros

But the screen is not the only asset of the new iPad.

After the Galaxy Note 7, you will soon no longer be able to use your iPad or MacBook in a plane!

sivertime — Mon, 27 Mar 2017 17:51:20 +0000

If you usually use your MacBook, iPad or other laptops, tablets in the cabin of an airplane, you will probably be disillusioned. After the Galaxy Note 7, anything bigger than an iPhone 7 Plus could disappear from the cabins.
In 2017, you really have to hurry to catch the plane. Since March 21, the United States and Great Britain have forbidden the use of laptop computers and tablets in the cabin of airline planes destined for their country and from certain Arab countries and Turkey . And of course, both administrations have invoked a risk of “terrorist” attacks . But this decision should not make the happiness of businessmen … and not that they. If you are lucky enough to fly often, you’re used to using your MacBook or iPad (the new 9.7-inch version is cheaper than expected) to watch clips or a series.
In the eyes of the Americans and the English, the problem is not really at the level of the terminal itself. The real problem is that this electronic device can be used to conceal explosive devices without being detected by airport security systems. If the United States and Great Britain have already applied this decision, other European countries, notably France, would be thinking about it. But for the time being, no decision has been taken at the level of the European Aviation Safety Agency. One thing is for sure, the future of tablets and laptops in aircraft cabins is dotted. Until then, you can discover our 3 good reasons to shopper a Galaxy Tab S3.

sivertime — Fri, 24 Mar 2017 17:27:11 +0000

Apple has plenty of plans for the future! Its concept of MacBook integrating an iPhone as a trackpad and an iPad as a screen is proof.
Last October, Apple introduced its MacBook Pro 2016 with TouchBar . Largely teased before being formalized, the famous OLED bar has established itself as the number one innovation of these new machines. But in the near future, Apple could go much further than that … The Cupertino firm would consider merging its MacBook with the iPhone and iPad, as evidenced by the concept it recently filed with the company, USPTO. Before telling you more, we let you discover the diagrams that summarize his project. You’ll see, that’s pretty surprising. We can thank AppleInsider for finding them.
On the above diagrams, the MacBook is associated with the other two stars of the American giant. The trackpad is dug to accommodate the iPhone on the first, while the iPad comes to integrate directly on the screen on the second . An idea that reflects Apple’s desire to evolve its products, and transform its smartphone and tablet into a real computer. Obviously, the deposit of a concept does not mean that it will be adopted … But at meltyStyle, we recognize that these images have fanned our curiosity. While waiting to learn more, test your knowledge on the MacBook Pro 2016 with TouchBar . Seduced by this concept?

IPad 9.7 inches: What differences with the iPad Air 2?

sivertime — Wed, 22 Mar 2017 18:05:09 +0000

The iPad 9.7 inches was revealed yesterday by Apple. But what differences does this small price tablet have with its predecessor the iPad Air 2?
The 9.7-inch iPad offers a lot of new features and could boost sales of Apple tablets . But then what differences with one of the previous models stars, the iPad Air 2 ? First of all, the new iPad has an A9 chip as opposed to its older brother who owned an A8X chip. The promise of better performance for those who would go on the side of this new low-cost iPad . Despite a screen the same size for the iPad Air Pro 2 and the iPad 9.7 inches, the latter is much heavier and thick (6.1mm against 7.5mm and 32 grams in addition). A very slight difference, but which can still be crucial for the most looking.
The biggest difference between the two is still the price. The 9.7-inch iPad will be more low-cost with a starting price of 409 euros for 32 GB in Wi-Fi version. Its equivalent on the iPad Air 2 costs 70 euros more. A good way to get a powerful tablet without breaking the bank before Apple goes to 4K screens . To finish on similarities, the iPad 9.7 inches also has the Touch ID, the Apple Pay, a design specific to Apple iPad etc. In short, if you give up for this model, you will not be really disoriented! Apple should succeed with its new strategy to increase sales of its product whose numbers are only declining over the years.

Apple: Will it relaunch its sales of tablets with the iPad 9.7 inches?

sivertime — Wed, 22 Mar 2017 17:58:36 +0000

Will Apple be able to boost sales of its tablets with the iPad 9.7 inches? Everything seems possible for the American firm!
For many years, tablet sales have been falling. However, the iPad of Apple is positioned among the best sales despite a fall and the firm plans to slow down the latter with its new tablet. But then this 9.7 inch iPad at low price will it relaunch the sales of the manufacturer ? To do this, you have to look at the new features offered by the tablet to users. The number one argument is its price: 329 dollars for the iPad 9.7 inches against 499 euros to its launch for the iPad Air 2. An accessible price that could allow to dispose much more stocks. A revolution on the part of a manufacturer whose catalog is often premium .
At the storage level, the firm also decided to make an effort by offering 32 GB of base against 16 GB previously. You too must have known the famous saturated storage on Apple products whose memory can not be extended by microSD as its competitors Android. Four years ago, the apple sold 71 million tablets compared to 45.59 million tablets this year : so much so that unless you propose a revolutionary product and cheaper, saving the latter will be very complicated. It remains to be seen if the argument of the mini price will convince the fans of Apple (who would also make AirPods a future health assistant ) face smartphones very easily replace a tablet. Do you think the iPad can be “saved”?

Is Apple ready to switch to 4K? This is what recent rumors suggest. And with a premium compatibility for the next iPad and iPhone.
Apple may soon be skipping a technological step by offering the 4K for its iPhone and iPad. And for good reason: the manufacturer behind the graphics chips of the manufacturer for 10 years, Imagination Technologies , is currently working on a new architecture. An architecture that will offer the 4K for objects using the latter and which, if Apple remains faithful to the firm, will be proposed for the iPhone 8 (whose output could be postponed due to fingerprint recognition ) or future models Since 2018 is evoked by the many rumors … With the 4K, smartphones promise very heavy on the level of video.
Because we must not forget that the next iPad and iPhone would also have OLED screens , enhancing the quality of these at the level of the image. Mobile games, more and more democratized, would also gain 70 to 90% more performance without plumbing the autonomy of the device . Knowing that fast charging is also expected for the next Apple phone , will we soon be entitled to a smartphone capable of holding more than one day in full capacity? Finally, users can also expect HDR videos at 120 frames per second as well as support for virtual reality and augmented reality. What do you think of this news?

For those who already imagine the disappearance of the iPad, the CEO of Apple Tim Cook wanted to make things clear: interesting things are coming for the tablet!
The tablets are not too popular at the moment. The fault of smartphones with screens always bigger, always more powerful and full of features! Yet Tim Cook decided not to abandon the famous iPad which despite a decline in sales remains number one . The big boss of Apple has decided to bet all on the latter by proposing very heavy in the months (and years?) To come at its financial conference of Q1 2017. Tim Cook used the opportunity to declare “We have Interesting things to come for the tablet and I’m optimistic about the direction of things . ” Apple fans will be reassured by this statement!
Rumors are already evoking a new tablet coming up for the next quarter. Apple would take advantage of it for a full face refacing of the iPad, which can turn into Nintendo Switch , with a larger screen and an even more powerful processor. The whole would be accompanied by a camera with impressive capacity (even if taking pictures with is not necessarily very practical). And if Apple finally decided to put an end to the range of iPad tablets in the face of insufficient sales? This possibility is obviously not to be excluded but it would be a pity that a product so well thought out can not find its audience! What do you think of Tim Cook’s promise?

IPad: Despite a drop in sales, it remains number 1

It is a fact: the tablets do not work as much as before. Despite this, the iPad remains at the top and number 1 of sales against its competitors!
With smartphones of ever larger proportions and full of features, new technology enthusiasts have said bye-bye to the tablets. Yet, only one model makes resistance: the Apple iPad. Strategy Analytics and IDC, two leading analyst firms, have just released new figures on tablet sales . And the least we can say is that it is not famous! To begin with, according to IDC, the number of tablets sold – all brands combined – decreased by 20.1%. The iPad, with three new tablets expected to see the light in 2017 , nevertheless shows a decline of 19% compared to the first quarter of 2015 despite its leading position.
Despite this rather significant decrease, the iPad remains number one of sales against its competitors . Samsung has for example lost ground with -20.5% between 2015 and today. Even in the tablet market, the two giants remain formidable competitors! Lenovo (which introduced its Yoga A12, an ultrabook convertible tablet) will have sold 3.7 million tablets and Huawei 3.2 million. Two figures rather encouraging for these two firms. You will understand: the American remains in good position, the South Korean follows just behind while the two Chinese are rather good. It remains to be seen whether the tablets will reconquer buyers. What do you think of these figures?
