This post is the first part of the comparison series that I will do between iPad 2 and iPad 1. As you have probably known, Apple did some improvements in the design of iPad 2 such as making it lighter, thinner in term of thickness, added built-in front & back camera, etc. Therefore, I think it’s worthwhile to compare both of them.
Apple has also released the measurement figures of iPad 2’s dimension and weight but we don’t see many side-by-side comparison between iPad 2 and iPad 1. So, I took a few photos of both iPads putting side-by-side to give a better picture of how different are they in term of the physical designs.
1. Thickness
iPad 2 (8.8mm) vs iPad 1 (13.4mm)
iPad 2 (left) is 33% thinner compared to iPad 1 (right)
2. Screen Size & Resolution
iPad 2 (9.7 inch, 768×1024 resolution) vs iPad 1 (9.7 inch, 768×1024 resolution)
iPad 2 (right) is slightly slimmer compared to iPad 1 (left), but the screen size is the same.
3. Rear View
iPad 2 (Speaker & Rear Camera) vs iPad 1 (Nothing)
The speaker of iPad 2 (right) is visible from the back as compared to iPad 1 (left)
4. Front & Rear Camera
iPad 2 (2 cameras: front & back) vs iPad 1 (No camera)
iPad 2 has a front-facing VGA camera which supports video chat via FaceTime
iPad 2 has a 5MP 720p HD rear camera which can take photos and record videos in HD resolution at 30 fps
5. Weight
iPad 2 (600g) vs iPad 1 (700g)
iPad 2 is 15% lighter than iPad 1
You definitely can feel the weight difference when you hold them in your hand even though 100g may look like a small difference
I hope the above side-by-side comparisons would be helpful in your decision making whether to get the iPad 2.
Please feel free to ask me if you want to know the difference in other aspects between iPad 2 vs iPad 1.
Cheers!
