The iPad 10th generation is definitely something... today we'll examine it in depth to see if I was wrong. Is the iPad 10th gen actually a good machine or did Apple create a colossal nightmare of epic proportions with this hilariously lazy cop paste of an old iPad with some new colors and cheap components? I guess only time will tell. hehe

That's why I bought myself, my wife, and my mother Nokia T20 Android tablets with Jelly comb universal bluetooth keyboards, a 256GB Micro SD card, and clear rubber bumper cases, as all 3 all in with are still cheaper than one base model iPad with the keyboard, plus a USB C to Micro USB adapter to charge the keyboards is like $2 if we don't want to carry an extra cable.

@@m-stat9 Sure if you buy lowend junk off someplace like Aliexpress, but so far Nokia is making solid tablets for the money with all day battery life, and constant software updates (I use my Nokia T20 tablet as my main portable device next to my phone, and do the majority of my work on it, and have not turned on my work PC in months other than to do system updates, and edit a couple of videos). Also their phones are on the Android One update program as I use a Nokia G50 as my daily phone just fine. Are they perfect, no, but neither is Apple, no company is. To be clear I'm no Android fanboy, and I don't hate Apple as I grew up in the 80's using an Apple IIe with dual disk drives (later briefly an Apple IIGS), on the same desk next to my Commodore 64 and 128, then in the late 90's/early 00's owned an iMac G3 Graphite, not counting all the Apple II, and Mac systems we used in school. My last Apple device was a used 13in Mid-2012 Macbook Pro(it's still going with upgrades now running Solus Linux passed down to one of my nieces who needed it more than me), it's just these days for my use cases, and this economy I can't justify Apple's prices when I have a family all needing devices, and Apple hardware limitations like no consumer friendly storage expansion like MicroSD cards, or the lack of a headphone jack(yes I do use wired earbuds, and headphones from my 30+ year collection from time to time when my bluetooth ones are charging, or I want higher sound quality out of say my Philips open backs with a Fiio A3 amp).

[@TheMarkHaile]

On the display, I heard it mentioned on another tech channel, possibly LTT, that it isn't laminated due to repair costs. The base model iPad is deployed in fleets like schools and corporations where having the glass cheaply replaced is a huge plus. A laminated screen repair might be $150 vs a non-laminated glass replacement can be done by the in-house IT for $30. It's a bummer for private consumers like us, but a plus for the big purchasers. Would be interesting to see the sales breakdown of the individual buyer vs the fleet purchaser.

[@vtvincent4893]

That's the problem when you start designing towards niche markets and pricepoints. You lost consumers by a bad choice driven by that reason, but you also lost your niche in edu because of the $120 price increase anyway.

[@natayaway]

@@vtvincent4893 the $120 price increase is offset by being able to re-use apple pencil 1's that schools and corporations bought in bulk years ago. the apple pencil 2 which is $129... the $9 adapter suddenly makes sense and is priced accordingly as well, and ends up being incredibly useful for those bulk buyers that can have the full new iPad experience with the pencil as part of their usual annual cycle of purchases with virtually no change in price, and no real need to fork over more cash for accessories (schools and corporations were never gonna go with the apple folio keyboard case, they would have sourced other cheaper keyboard cases, or skipped the keyboard all together and just gotten a protective case instead).

[@gwenc1371]

The deliberate lack of cross/backwards compatibility with accessories is a real disappointment, and would have done a lot to justify it IMO. And to add to the dogpile of sadness I've also seen reviews showing that the USB-C data transfer is nearer to USB 2.0 speeds so there goes a chunk of the appeal of USB-C. I took a gamble on grabbing a 9th gen in September at $270, hoping I wouldn't regret pulling the trigger just before a new model was announced.....and yeah, pretty safe to say I'm happy with the purchase. The price point hike alone is a bummer, but this update also does nothing to justify it beyond the nicer aesthetic.

[@benjaminlindeen6208]

All of the odd choices pretty much come down to Apple catering to the education market. There was an Apple event a few years back held at a college where they announced the 6th gen iPad which gives clear insight into where Apple is targeting this product to. Right now Google has a strangle hold on the education market with chromebooks and Apple can’t laminate the screen and ditch Apple Pencil 1 support because then they would be giving Google the market in a silver platter. The price is high but I bet in bulk Apple will make them reasonably enticing for school.

[@techinrl9869]

Totally agree. Just about every reviewer is reviewing this from the point of view of an iPad Pro user. Of course, this iPad is going to suck when you’re comparing it to its big brothers. The non-laminated display costs $15 to replace the glass. For education, that is a godsend since kids break the glass all the time. If it were laminated, it would cost $150 to replace. And none of the reviewers look at it from the point of view of someone who already has an Apple Pencil 1. Why complain about backwards compatibility with accessories for the high end iPads when none of the buyers of this product have any of those? The best way to compare this iPad is with a previous model base iPad such as the 7’th gen iPad. With a base iPad, nobody’s upgrading annually. People upgrade every 3-5 years. How does this iPad compare to a 6’th or 7’th gen? It looks pretty good by comparison, better in every way. I find it odd all the reviewers are complaining it’s worse than an iPad Air. Umm, it’s supposed to be. Otherwise, Apple should just label this the iPad Air 6 and sell it for $599. I’m extremely disappointed at every KZbin reviewer since none of them have taken a practical point of view of a poor user upgrading from a prior base iPad or an education user.

[@RumbleRish]

Good point, thanks for the perspective. It’s important to remember that Apple is a BUSINESS and to look at their decisions in the context of real-world consumers & consequences. At the end of the day, I guarantee that Apple makes a much larger share of their revenue from the general public/average consumer than from online tech reviewers & viewers.

[@lachlanbrown8110]

The price is nowhere near competitive enough for the education market though.

[@GannDolph]

@@lachlanbrown8110 You are correct , however they aren't paying list price. Schools expect, and indeed do receive huge education and volume discounts. Because of this , products intended for this market usually appear to be a bad value when judged by the list price. This is definitely one of those products..

[@ryaxnb2]

The keyboard is $250 and it isn’t compatible with the old Smart Keyboard schools have tons of. They better give schools a 75% discount on that new keyboard or I question whether a device that has a keyboard with a list price comparable to a chrome book can compete with a chrome book. And given the $250 price, the school discount would have to be out of this world. Plus, the keyboard footprint is too long for some school desks.

I really wish they would have done a better job of making the charging easier for the gen 1 pencil with this iPad but I still have my gen 1 and I refuse to upgrade because gen 2 hurts my drawing hand! I want a more comfortable pencil like gen 1 and until they make one I’m sticking with the very comfortable and smooth gen 1. That flat side is so painful on my fingers. Yes the charging is a pain in the butt but I find it so much more comfortable that it’s still worth not getting gen 2. Apple need to think about the design of the pencil maybe make a third GEN that’s compatible with all of their iPads?? I don’t know, all I know is I prefer GEN 1 and I’m probably gonna end up getting this iPad because it’s bigger than my old one and it’s the cheapest. Someone needs to appeal to the budget artists please.

[@skycubix8943]

A lot of people are misunderstanding this. Apple doesn't replace just the display during repair even for unlaminated iPads, they replace the whole device just like the laminated ones and charges you with the same absurd repair fee. For example, the screen repair fee for the iPad 9th gen, which is also unlaminated, costs over $200, over 60% the MSRP. Also, if Apple is targeting this towards education, *why are they removing the headphone jack??*

[@f1shs4lmon]

I think the new changes are nice to have (the new folio & the landscape camera), but they feel quite poorly implemented. It feels like apple know that these are features that people actually want, but they have to implement some hardware limitations (1st gen pencil support, the exclusive keyboard folio that doesn’t work with any other ipads) so that this “base” ipad doesn’t get too good to prevent people from getting the higher end ipads. It is just a very weird mix of good and bad things combining into a weird products that doesn’t really have a clear target demographic. It feels like a transitional phase product that has new features that will eventually be in the higher end models, and now they are just trying to squeeze more profits out of the (now 4 yo) ipad design which was first introduced in 2018. Unless you are someone that doesn’t want a laptop, doesn’t take digital notes or do any digital illustration, specially want an IPAD for doing basic internet work and media consumption. But in that case, older ipads (e.g. the 2018 ipad pro, ipad air 4) will be more value for money. They are still fully capable and fast, with full support of the latest ipad accessories ecosystem. This is a real one to skip. No one should really get one. Your conclusion is on point! Just a stepping stone for apple to upsale you to more expensive models!

[@carlofaundez652]

Luke, can you pair the Apple Pencil with the lightning to lightning adapter and the lightning to usb-c cable?

[@doompod]

I bet their plan is to let it trickle down to $350-400 over time and eventually support the Apple Pencil 2 once they figure out how to work it in with the new landscape FaceID system. They released it now, but it’ll probably be the product it’s suppose to be in a few years.

[@BMe-ck6fd]

In a few months?-when they announce the colored m2 MacBook airs?

[@thomas_xsg]

This is not a product for us tech-nerds so it shouldn’t be reviewed in this way. This is for folks who just need an internet browsing device, kids, and schools and is easy and cheap to fix when it gets dropped.

[@windowstips1430]

It's still not a good product Would you buy a shitty car from the 80s with a 2020 design with 50hp at 50k$ because "well im not a car guy i just need something to go from point a to point b ? yeah, didn't think so

[@rebow2568]

Luke, did you recall the technical features of the iPad 10th generation alongside with it's compatible accessories (e.g. Apple Pencil 1st generation is only compatible with the iPad 10th generation)?

[@BraxtonGibbons68]

the lamination sucks, but it makes it more repairable which is good for situations like education or kids that will break the screen often/easily

[@TT-rt9vv]

I could forgive the pencil dumbness and other shortcomings if the new ipad was priced the same as the old one, but not at it's current price. The complete solution would be more palatable if the core piece (the ipad) was priced closer to the old one.

[@changez77654]

What makes me understand why this product exists: the education sector. This is a market that needs cheap, easily replaceable ipads in mass quantities. When you are ordering 10,000 units the $100 price difference suddenly becomes material. The use case is basic, so Apple can avoid parts in this constrained supply chain environment. This also makes Apple major gross margins too - so its win-win. Not a product for a tech enthusiast like you and me.

[@thomas_xsg]

Exactly this product is not for us tech-nerds. This is designed for kids, and folks that just want an internet device.

Moan Moan Moan. Luke, unfortunately, whith this clicbaity type of Apple slamming, you went down the path that spoiled SnazzyLabs for me years ago. I know this type of content has a solid audience, but I am not part of it anymore. Im sure you won't miss me as a single returning viewer, but really, the content you create recently is not something I will miss either. In all honesty, good luck to you. I wish you all the best for the future.

[@rrp6405]

i agree SnazzyLabs became really tedious to watch, but this product has so much wrong with it, that its justified

Great video

[@lanarkcd]

I still have my iPad pro 2017 which is showing signs of aging, the original keyboard has now stopped working so is now just a heavy front cover, the pencil is still hanging in there and the iPad charging port is sometimes a bit iffy, I had thought of getting the new iPad and keeping with the pencil but now, no thanks I'll keep with this one until it gives up the ghost.

[@stevemcclure2879]

Thanks you confirmed my decision to buy the 9th Gen iPad on sale over this past summer :)

[@jeffhartter]

Luke, my 9yr old son is on a 7th gen. He’s ready for upgrade due to broken glass. All he does is watch KZbin and play games. Do I go with 10th gen or 9th gen?

[@GAZMAN2002]

Is it just the Air 4 without the laminated screen pencil 2 support and front camera placement moved?

[@DarrylTalks]

Is the non laminated display, for cheap repairs at schools?

[@jmattos]

I love your honesty! I always trust your reviews because I know youll call a spade a spade.

[@lachlanhunt]

If you got one of the old gen 1 pencils, didn’t it come with a lightning adapter to be able to plug it into a wall charger? If so, I expect you could use that adapter to connect it to the iPad with a USB-C to lightning cable.

[@axllebeer]

You can use the lighting adapter in the box and a lightning to USBc cable to connect the Apple Pencil

[@tyron2854]

They gotta wait to give you the laminated screen next year, this year new design/colors and next year with little updates like the laminated screen and second gen Apple Pencil support.

Alright automated dolly! Talk about production upgrade. Love it!

[@NicksLocker]

i think the one key thing that i like is the new updated design without the home button, but i just wouldn't consider it enough to want to upgrade.

[@williamwilde9867]

I’m sure they can make the first gen and second gen 🖊 work, I don’t use keyboards or pencils and I use otter box heavy duty drop cases for mine. It’s a fine iPad to me.

[@ginocasagrande2991]

Thanks for the video I’m sticking with my 9th generation

[@aliruane]

I still use a basic iPad with gen 1 pencil that is knocking on 4 yrs old. I use it professionally without trouble for storyboard work and print on demand designs. With astropad and my Mac air it is a powerhouse.

[@bennickss]

Glad I picked up a 256GB M1 iPad Pro 11 last year for a discounted price. Got the Keyboard folio thing. Would like for them to make one for the iPad Pro with the function keys.

[@wsketchy]

isn't non laminated easier to replace if it cracks

[@markpomerhn76]

I have the new iPad in blue and 256 gig with the smart folio case and I love it!

[@dansanger5340]

The kickstand keyboard is too expensive, but it does have pluses and minuses. Yes, it's less lapable, but you can detach the keyboard and use it in kickstand only mode, which is very nice, and compact.

[@andrewshore262]

I just went from an iPhone 7+ to a iPhone 13 pro (what can I say I’m a boomer lol), but the transition was simple. I knew exactly what to buy avoid the 14 the additional cost v features wasn’t worth it. My iPad is 5th generation and it’s time to update, but pouring through the specs on different pads is mind numbing (I haven’t got that kind of time to waste, the big box day is nearer than it used to be) - So which pad to choose 🤔

[@ces_osses]

Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱 I love your videos, you are really funny

[@cheekyoscar1353]

absolutely spot-on . I couldn't agree more . One of the things for definitely point out to me is the USB socket the same also applies to the iPhone 14 / 14 pro I just don't understand why they did not fit them with USB-C this year . Apple sometimes really just don't listen to the customers sometimes . Thanks for a great video keep up the good work ... ❤👍👍

You can use the old adapter for the first generation the light [port to usb, i. Have the old iPad Pro with the lighting input before they went to USB-C
