Apple iPad Air/ Mini review: The A12 chip has a life cycle of at least three years

One of the two biggest upgrades to both ipads is the processor. It goes straight to A12. While there's still a gap between the A12 and the A12X on the iPad Pro, it's still "below the average" and more than adequate for everyday use.

We ran a run-test on the iPad Mini's A12 processor, and the actual results were pretty impressive. It is almost certain that with such a chip, the service life of the two products can reach a conservative estimate of three years.

The powerful driving force brought by the A12 processor, combined with the potential exploitation of iOS for hardware, is basically competent for the use scenarios of all applications, especially the AR applications strongly promoted by Apple in the last two years. We can use iPad Air and iPad mini to measure the size of new houses, or place and layout the household furniture in AR applications. Students can better realize knowledge learning and game experience through AR-like tutorials. At present, AR part still has higher development space in the domestic market, which can be expected.

By calling the neuron network of A12 chip, iPad Mini can play the effect of APP more and more intelligently. In the upcoming release of Pixelmator Photo, users no longer need to adjust various parameters and metrics as they do in Photoshop. Because the software itself has learned a lot of photos, it can make individual adjustments to the details in the photos: brightening faces individually, for example; Reduce the exposure of the light source individually; Individually enhance the color of the blue sky. In this way, it makes it much easier to create good looking photos.
