发帖数: 2948 | 2 Apple's New iPad Also Has Wi-Fi Problems?
http://www.minyanville.com/dailyfeed/2012/03/21/apples-new-ipad
The risk of being an early adopter has been well-documented. While the
thrill of being the first on your block with a highly anticipated, widely
celebrated device can be addictive, it's often worth it to wait two to three
months for the company to release a patch that fixes all the bugs and
glitches it missed prior to release.
I know I felt that regret when I jumped aboard the Motorola (MMI) Droid
Bionic train, only to find the Android (GOOG) device emitted a high-pitched
squeal which every other review had missed. It was an agonizing wait before
that bug was patched.
And it would seem that some owners of Apple's (AAPL) new iPad are going
through a similar bit of buyer's remorse.
This week, it was revealed that the new device can get uncomfortably hot
under certain conditions. Making matters worse, new testimonials are pouring
in relating the tablet's Wi-Fi connectivity problems -- echoing an issue
with the original iPad which Apple confirmed.
Gizmodo's Jesus Diaz has collected forums posts from users who discovered
the new iPad has Wi-Fi reception issues. According to a growing number of
owners, the new iPad will register a much weaker signal than earlier models.
A thread on AppleCare's support forums began with:
"I am in a hotel with my laptop and new ipad3. The laptop wifi reception is
as strong as it gets, but the iPad only registers a weak signal. Anyone else
having similar problems? Any suggestions?"
Others began chiming in:
"Same here ipad2 has twice the wifi range with the same settings as the
ipad3. The screens nice but I may return mine if this is the way they all
are."
"Same here! Will not hold WIFI for more than a few minutes. Two MacBooks and
iPhone working fine from same router. Ready to return iPad!!!!!"
After Diaz reported the issue, two readers wrote in to Gizmodo to follow up
on the story, one of whom confirmed the issue with Apple Geniuses during a
visit to a retail location:
"I spent 90 min in the store. We compared the speed on the 3 and my 2.
Wasn't a dramatic difference (because we were in the back of the store,
closer to the router mothership!) But still there was a difference.
They did an exchange—but we all decided to test the new iPad 3.
We tested it, and still there was a difference - about 2/3 the strength.
It wasn't that big.
Then the clerk suggested we try another machine to compare two 3's—and
my 2.
When we went to the front of the store—at the entryway to the mall—I
was vindicated! Because the signal was weaker—the the 2 was flying—getting
12 or 15—while the 3 was lagging at 3 or 4.
So the manager was called over. It was decided to swap it for yet
another 3.
Tested it again and it was still the same problem.
But now everyone was aware that there is a problem with the 3.
Bottom line: I returned it, got my money back - and am back to the 2. It
's not as sharp, but it's fast! So, I'll wait a month or so, and see if they
manage to improve the wifi issue."
As with the original iPad, it's very likely that Apple will patch the issue
with an update. However, it'll be an agonizing wait until a fix is delivered.
But as any early adopter can tell you, it comes with the territory. Even
with Apple.
