The increased color reproduction of the new iPad 3 has come with a price of sorts: a 30% increase in power usage. It’s a bet that Apple took these numbers into consideration before making the splashy debut last week, but first impressions are lasting impressions. Ooh, pretty colors.
The new technology resulted in a spike in power consumption, however, because the improved filters let less light through than inefficient versions.
