Unboxing the FIRST Apple Silicon, a brand new first generation iPad!

We’ve all been very glad to see the first Apple Silicon Macs... but they’re definitely not the first Apple Silicon *apple products*. So today we’re going to look at the product that is. The first generation iPad introduced by Steve Jobs in 2010

I bought my parents this as a Christmas present back in 2010. They still have it, and it still works! I knew they wanted something portable, that had a good screen for showing off digital pictures. The iPad was by far the best item on the market for that purpose, and still performs that task today. I knew they would never get full potential out of it, but I also knew from experience that my other options were digital picture frames, and those had awful touch screens that were unresponsive, and even worse resolution. The iPad prepared them for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 they have today. I remember all the negativity about this product, but my parents were very glad to have it at that time.

While I've never used a first gen Ipad, I've had a lot of experience with the iPad 2. My school got a big donation of them back when I was in 8th grade and gave each of us one to use for the year. While that was really nice in a lot of ways, the problem was that they wanted us to use them as laptops and they just really weren't cut out for that. That Ipad was how I learned to use ios though, which definitely came in handy once I got my first Iphone!

Bought an iPad 1 16GB/GSM early 2011. Still have it and use it at least weekly for listening to podcasts. The iPad 1 dampens the sound less than the tighter glued ones, and I think it sounds (and looks) great when mounted on a keyboard dock. I still sync it to my Mac (via WiFi), so I get notifications on it too! Next was a 4, and then a mini 2.

I have just discovered I still have mine. I used my iPad as a instant preview display for Photography and social event clients. It was paired with an eye-fi SD card and initially I had to jailbreak it to work. It totally blew peoples minds in 2010 that I could transmit images wirelessly from Camera to iPad within seconds. I really enjoyed seeing peoples reactions.On photo shoots having a wireless tether was great as I could get feedback without lugging a laptop. I’ll probably repurpose mine as a movie player or as a digital photo frame.

[@pedrofelck]

About the "full GHz" in the iPad, it is not because of its thermal headroom, in fact, Samsung used the same processor (named Hummingbird) in the first Galaxy S and also on it's badaOS smartphone Samsung Wave, both at 1GHz in 2010. The A4/Hummingbird was manufactured by Samsung in partnership with Intrinsity, and the latter was bought by Apple after the A4, forcing Samsung to create the Exynos line of processors for its upcoming Galaxy Note and Galaxy SII.

[@tannerdeal]

It still makes no sense to me why the iPhone 3Gs got iOS 6 but the original iPad did not. They both had 256MB of ram but the iPad was 400 MHz faster. I don't normally believe in "planned obsolescence" but that definitely seemed to be the case here.

[@Lying29]

One interesting thing about the first-gen iPad, is for the GSM version only. According to websites, the first GSM version iPad actually has the same modem and antenna of an iPhone. With jailbreak and some simple steps to unlock the Phone function, you could literally use it as a truly "zoomed" iPhone. Do you have the interest to test for us?

As always, thank you for another fun and enjoyable video this time highlighting a 1st generation iPad.
