[@wangchung6910]

No, no, no, it has to do with the technology. It might seem like a new iPad but it’s using previous hardware, that screen will not work with the 2nd gen newer pencil because it’s different technology. Older screen, older pencil. Personally I like the older pencil better, it has heft, weight. The newer model iPad Pros that work with the 2nd gen pencil, have a different kind of screen technology. Its an entirely new patent. Now for a 3rd example, think of how Wacom tablets can use a pen that needs no battery power because the screen tech and pen use a sort of mesh and static. Its been a while i forget. But its a great video opportunity just waiting for someone to make interesting on how these three types of screens work with their type of stylus. PLEASE PLEASE feel free to copy my explanation, no credit needed this isn’y my main anyway. Go edit it, make it yours, copy and paste it to spread the word, cause its asked so often and I gotta get some sleep… [previous attemp snip] This “new” base model iPad is actually for the most part utilizing previous hardware Every drawing tablet and pen (pencil in Apple’s case) has its own different technology. I’ve answered this so many times as it seems many people are unaware that the reason this iPad uses the old Apple Pencil is because it uses the old screen.

Watching this from my iPad Pro 3rd gen (12.9”, 1TB storage, a monster, and makes me not miss my laptop)…I bought it over 3 years ago, and have been using it almost daily since.

Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.

Great insight! I bought a 9th-generation iPad a week before the 10th was announced (my 7th-gen fell on a tile floor and smashed into a thousand pieces). Once I heard about the 10th-gen, I deliberately avoided torturing myself by looking at the tech that I barely missed out on. However, after watching this video and hearing your absolutely fair criticisms and questions, I don’t feel so bad anymore! 😀 I won’t lie, the webcam on the long side would be really helpful because I use my iPad (in landscape mode) for Zoom pretty regularly. I also don’t use an Apple Pencil, and I do have a USB-C charge cable already, so the 10th-gen would have some clear perks. Still, I’m not super keen on the $100+ price bump, and I am utterly dependent on my iPad keyboard (I didn’t have to buy a new one because the 7th and 9th are the same dimensions). Given the huge price bump, I probably would’ve stuck with the 9th-gen anyway, so I feel good that I made the choice I did! 😀 Thanks a lot for the video! Made me feel better!

The new iPad makes the 9th look dated, that home button with huge bezels has been there since the 1st gen. Not to mention the lightning port that will make it very dated when everything Apple sells is compatible with USB-C (except iPhones but it'll most likely be for the iPhone 15).

Fun fact, in Indonesia there are many apple pencil “dupes” which offer palm rejection with prices as low as $15-20. They are shaped like the 2nd generation apple pencil, with magnetic sides and type c charging plus tilt sensitivity. You don’t have to pair anything either. If you double tap the pencil they’ll work straight away. The only downside is the pressure sensitivity and lower latency. In my opinion if you’re getting the base 10th gen ipad just for school and notetaking, the new squared bezel paired with apple pencil dupe will do wonders! Type c charging + magnetic attachment is something i’d die for. If you’re looking something for art might as well get an ipad air/pro. Just my thoughts 😊

Then this new "basic" iPad came out, and when I checked the same retailer's price of the Air including the discount, it said €722. And we are talking about the 64 GB version... They had to raise the price of the Air in order to make the base model worth buying. The base model should start at $399 at most.

Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.

When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ!

I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God! Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.

1. "Unusable" is relative. Depends on the person's needs and desires. 2.

It's a marketing strategy. The sweet spot is 128GB for most people, so they sell a 64GB version and a 256GB version with a much higher price. This makes the 256GB version a better deal in the mind of the consumers, because they get 4 times the storage for +200 USD

I have the new iPad and I love it. I had the first iPad Pro but it was only 32 Gb. With the new iPad I have 256 gb. Which is a game changer for me. I primarily use my iPad for social media, FaceTime and updating our website. I’m pleased and will probably keep for at least 3 or 4 years.

Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the Apple Pencil gen.1 in the press photos.

[@ahmedeng100]

Totally agree with your take on the pricing especially the keyboard

[@smrtguy77777]

Yeah, agree. You’re better off getting the iPad Air if you want something more than the $329 model. If pencil 2 support was there along with 128gb it would be a great in between model between the base and Air but it’s just in such an awkward part of the line up right now.

[@andrewk8636]

128gb shouldn't even exist anymore either. They're just milking money out of consumers for storage even tho it doesn't cost them anything to make it 256 or even 512gb

[@J_M3444]

I needed an iPad for work to view blueprints so I thought the air was too small for me

[@webwarren]

The Air has always been my go-to. I was thinking of the Pro, but didn't have the extra grand for the configuration I would have wanted

[@8xus_1]

I mean obviously, like you would get an s22 ultra over an s23

[@emperorfaiz]

@@andrewk8636 That's why it won't go away unless they start introducing 4TB but that's extremely unlikely.

[@TuffyAndBetty]

The touch screen feature which I like of an iPad is an advantage over the laptop, but storage on the iPad makes the laptop a better alternative considering the comparable price.

[@vic_cresss]

There’s always the 2TB iPads 🤷🏽‍♀️ or Microsoft Surface Pros

[@jamesmitchell3968]

Bro, you do an incredible job putting these videos together. Thanks for the information!

[@Vadha2]

I think a lot of people will buy these for their kids, kids usually have bulky cases for added protection, which eliminates the ability to charge an pencil 2. The pencil 1 makes sense for that reason. However many people already have a usb-c to thunderbolt cord for their iPhones charging. Apple blocked the ability to use this cable with the original thunderbolt dongle to pencil 1 with the iPad.

[@humzaalam4823]

Still you can tell this Ipad is basically a money grab for Apple, they just know there are people foolish enough to get this

[@jordanlin4437]

I actually really love the new Magic Keyboard folio kickstand situation, as it still provides a ‘case’-like thing for the iPad when you don’t want to use the keyboard. Being forced to use my iPad without a case is the main reason I didn’t go for the floating Magic Keyboard. It’s a shame that Apple is not bringing the kickstand keyboard to the iPad Airs and Pros.

[@speccers7337]

It's great, IA have that set up with my Tab S7+, it's basically a straight copy of that. Nothing wrong with that, but it's really nice other than for lap use.

[@Collin_J]

It's so nice, but also how the fuck are they charging 250 for a keyboard folio? That's dangerously close to what I paid for my 6th gen brand new...

[@skycubix8943]

Well the thing is Logitech already has basically the same thing for $99

[@Narkissos_1]

@@skycubix8943 true and without the trackpad cheaper. i dont understand why everyone is like OMG media keys , when logi keyboards are around since ipad 7?

[@UmairLad]

Logitech has this exact same design for $200, the Logitech combo touch. I have it for my iPad Pro 2020 model. Yes that’s right, it’s available for every iPad model. And the funny thing is, it’s endorsed by apple... Apple gave logitech exclusive permission to their hardware and software details, so the logitech keyboard works via the 3 pin connecter, just like apple’s own keyboards. No extra charging or bluetooth connections required. Matter of fact, it’s the only “non apple” keyboard that has the capability. So basically, apple has just copied logitech’s combo touch, made it more expensive, and restricted it to only the baseline model

[@matthewdean9753]

Once I saw the specs on this the first time, I compared it to my wife’s 2020 iPad Air and it’s about the same (difference being camera and pencil mainly). That gen sells for 469 at Walmart currently (if you can find it). I feel like for most you should just find a 4th gen iPad Air for a little more if you’re going to use a pencil. It’ll be far less frustrating for about the same price.

[@lowanfast]

Interesting take on it. I came to the same conclusion when shopping for a replacement laptop for my sister. I ended up realizing that she could get a fully functioning laptop for the same price or less! And that's a Windows or Mac laptop... If the keyboard and upgrade to 256GB storage weren't so expensive, then it might make some sense as a mid-range iPad.
