Ipad 1

The first “iPad” went on sale in 2010 and became a truly revolutionary gadget, which received many technologies that other tablet PCs did not have at that time. An IPS display and a powerful Apple A4 GHz processor.

High speed, an almost 10-inch screen and a capacious 6667 mAh battery made iPad 1 popular.

However, it was still just an experimental model, with a number of shortcomings and shortcomings.

Among the minuses of the device was called relatively short work on a single charge. Even such a battery was not enough for a large display and the resource-intensive iOS.

In addition, the “iPad” was rather thick by the standards of other tablets and was not equipped with a camera, because of which it could not be used for chatting.

But his body got rounded edges and stylish volume control buttons on the right side.

The developers’s original decision was also a button for switching the lock modes and screen orientation, when turned on, it turns green.

Another impressive feature is the tablet’s internal memory, with a maximum capacity of 64 GB.

Although the rather modest RAM settings did not allow the installation of more modern versions of iOS on the tablet.

Technical specifications:

  • Screen size: 9.7 inches;
  • Resolution: 768 x 1024;
  • Processor: single core, 1000 MHz;

Among the other features of the tablet, it is worth noting the possibility of buying them already in two color options. And, although the case still remained silver, the frame on the front panel could be black or white.

Among the shortcomings, one could note the screen resolution (just HD) and a not too powerful battery.

However, taking into account the relatively small size of the gadget, these parameters were enough for 8-10 hours of work and getting a good picture quality.
