'Don't buy iPads at this time'

That is the opinion of observers today, the prestigious US newspaper Wall Street Journal confirmed that iPad 2 has been put into mass production with integrated camera, faster processor and thinner design. .

Apple's new tablet is lighter than the first version and is equipped with at least one front camera. However, " Apple " has trouble upgrading the screen, so the screen resolution remains the same as on the old iPad.

The product will also have larger memory, stronger graphics, and will be distributed via both Verizon Wireless and AT&T (US) networks right after its birth. Foxconn continues to be the new iPad assembly company.

Users should wait to buy iPad 2, or at that time, the old iPad will reduce the price compared to the present.

Analysts say that if you intend to buy an Apple tablet now, users should wait patiently for the iPad 2 to appear. This is the " implicit " rule when purchasing technology products: Don't buy anything when it has already reached half the upgrade cycle.

With Apple 's yearly launches, users get the most "happy" feeling when buying equipment within 6 months after it is marketed. After that, they should only spend money if they really need to buy such as broken machines, make gifts . Even if the new product is too expensive for them to buy, they still avoid the feeling of regret. Because the older generation product will also get a significant discount.

The production and introduction of iPad 2 will be the most noticeable change since Steve Jobs left Apple for treatment last month. The first iPad, released last April, opened up a new market and was an important product in its resounding success in 2010. They sold a total of 14.8 million tablets. In the latest quarter, iPad contributed $ 4.6 billion, accounting for 17% of the company's total product revenue.

Not only users but also rivals are anxiously waiting to see if the iPad 2 is enough to crush the blockbusters that they are proud to present at the recent CES exhibition and the upcoming Mobile World Congress. Market research companies predict that Apple will sell 27 million tablets (including two versions) in 2011.
