00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
foreign

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:13,080
doesn't raise the price of the iPad every year instead they only raise it

3
00:00:10,980 --> 00:00:18,180
when they launch a dramatic redesign or feature Improvement when they introduce

4
00:00:15,540 --> 00:00:21,840
this flat Edge to liquid retina form factor folding magic keyboard SMART

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:27,660
connector and Brilliant second generation apple pencil to the iPad Pro

6
00:00:23,699 --> 00:00:29,820
in 2018 its price jumped 150 dollars

7
00:00:27,660 --> 00:00:33,600
compared to the previous gen but those price increases and features

8
00:00:32,099 --> 00:00:40,620
trickle down to the rest of the lineup the mid-range iPad Air got them in 2020

9
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:44,700
for 100 and last year's mini got it too

10
00:00:40,620 --> 00:00:47,280
for 100 as well inflation that leaves

11
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:51,120
this the entry-level ninth generation iPad and I was wondering if Apple would

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:57,739
continue this trend with the 10th Generation well we got the price increase but we

13
00:00:55,140 --> 00:00:57,739
didn't get everything else

14
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,640
which iPad to buy is not easy especially

15
00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:10,979
as there are now four very different models not that you'd be able to tell

16
00:01:08,340 --> 00:01:15,960
looking at them this the newest 10th generation iPad was released quietly

17
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:20,640
with a simple press release NVIDIA at a price of 450 it's not the cheapest

18
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:24,659
available because they're still selling the 9th generation for one hundred and

19
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:28,920
twenty dollars less but don't go thinking it's a good deal compared to

20
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:34,799
the 600 iPad Air this certainly looks familiar flat edges

21
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:37,799
check rounded Corners check Touch ID in

22
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:40,560
the power button check USBC port check

23
00:01:37,799 --> 00:01:44,280
rear mounted SMART connector wait it's down here

24
00:01:41,579 --> 00:01:49,799
second gen pencil dock um what is this for the first time ever

25
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:53,880
this new iPad has its Center Stage webcam on the long side of the device

26
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:58,439
for people who are in group video calls all the time this is ideal as the camera

27
00:01:55,979 --> 00:02:04,200
now aligns with your eyes when you set it down horizontally but it demonstrates

28
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:10,380
a radical change on how Apple thinks we should use this iPad which is that it's

29
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:12,599
not for art because the webcam is up

30
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:17,580
here it takes up the space of the second gen charging and pairing module so it

31
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:24,420
doesn't work and there's nowhere else to put it

32
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,879
the solution go back in time this iPad

33
00:02:24,420 --> 00:02:31,080
supports the fully round first gen apple pencil from the Obama era and there are

34
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,620
many problems with this let me explain the first generation apple pencil was

35
00:02:33,180 --> 00:02:39,239
designed to work with iPads that came out before it existed that's why it

36
00:02:36,780 --> 00:02:43,980
charges and pairs this way with a very sturdy male lightning connector at the

37
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:48,000
end under this easy to lose cap just plug it directly into the iPad for 5

38
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:52,500
seconds and you get 15 minutes of charge and a pinch for the Next Generation the

39
00:02:50,819 --> 00:02:57,840
iPad was designed with the pencil in mind so we got this and you might think

40
00:02:55,739 --> 00:03:03,000
that going back to the old pencil and new iPad design would work just fine but

41
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:07,680
it doesn't because even if you already own a first generation apple pencil you

42
00:03:06,239 --> 00:03:11,300
can't use it say you have a USBC to lightning cable

43
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:15,840
like the one that comes with your iPhone plugging the lightning coupler the old

44
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:21,060
pencil came with will charge your old pencil but it will not pair to your new

45
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:23,580
iPad for that you must buy the new USBC

46
00:03:21,060 --> 00:03:28,379
to pencil adapter separately or it's included in the box of new first gen

47
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:33,120
pencils but even with that it's dumb here's an actual scenario I went to

48
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:36,599
sketch out thumbnail ideas with Maria I didn't have my pencil because there's no

49
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:41,760
way to carry it along with me however her iPad Pro is dead so we'll use her

50
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:46,799
pencil just kidding it won't attach to my iPad so I can't pair it so I walk

51
00:03:44,459 --> 00:03:51,480
back to my desk to get mine it's also pretty dead so I go back again to get

52
00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:55,319
the easy to lose USBC to apple pencil adapter I go through the whole rigmarole

53
00:03:53,700 --> 00:04:01,099
of assembling the pencil to charge it but even though this looks ridiculous I

54
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,099
can't use it while it's plugged in

55
00:04:01,580 --> 00:04:07,560
but Jonathan you might say maybe the cable can't send the power and data at

56
00:04:05,459 --> 00:04:11,580
the same time sure but when I plug my iPad to a monitor we can see that USBC

57
00:04:10,019 --> 00:04:17,880
is fully capable of sending power and data at the same time so this new iPad

58
00:04:14,459 --> 00:04:20,280
is 120 more and it doesn't support the

59
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:24,360
latest pencil so what about the current magic keyboard that uses the SMART

60
00:04:22,139 --> 00:04:28,259
connector mounted on the back well it doesn't support that either

61
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,280
instead this iPad has the SMART connector on the bottom like the old

62
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:37,500
style iPads and their keyboards this means that you can only use the new 250

63
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:43,940
dollar magic keyboard folio the keyboard attaches to the bottom here and the

64
00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:47,100
kickstand attaches to the back

65
00:04:43,940 --> 00:04:49,740
now the magic keyboard already solved

66
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:52,139
the lappable problem but this

67
00:04:52,139 --> 00:04:58,080
I still have to sit like a uniformed grade school student just to use it

68
00:04:55,740 --> 00:05:01,560
there's no charging pass-through or keyboard backlighting but there is a

69
00:04:59,820 --> 00:05:05,520
very handy function road that the more expensive keyboard doesn't get so great

70
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:10,740
savings alright so I'm ranting about peripherals

71
00:05:07,919 --> 00:05:16,860
you might not ever buy but the update to the device might be worth it too right

72
00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:18,419
oh but it is not I'll explain why after

73
00:05:16,860 --> 00:05:23,759
a word from this video's sponsor Squarespace want to Simply and quickly

78
00:05:37,620 --> 00:05:45,419
Group so get started today at squarespace.com Mac Address to get 10

79
00:05:41,940 --> 00:05:47,580
off your first purchase a USB type-c

80
00:05:45,419 --> 00:05:52,680
connector on an iPad does increase its capability significantly you can plug

81
00:05:49,740 --> 00:05:56,759
any USB hub drive or peripheral in and they will just work in a really laptop

82
00:05:54,360 --> 00:06:01,800
like fashion lightning equipped iPads require a dongle and even then you can't

83
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:04,380
expect everything to work but this iPad

84
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:10,080
sport only supports the 20 plus year old USB 2.0 standard that's insane as the

85
00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:13,800
standard supports transmission speeds of just 480 megabits per second this is

86
00:06:12,660 --> 00:06:19,620
absurd when you consider that the discontinued 4th gen iPad air from 2020

87
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:23,400
with the same A14 chip supports USB 3 speeds

88
00:06:21,780 --> 00:06:28,319
how about the screen yes this is technically a liquid retina

89
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:31,979
meaning it has the round corners but this screen is actually no better spec

90
00:06:29,940 --> 00:06:36,180
wise than the one installed on the 9th gen iPad as well it's not laminated so

91
00:06:34,979 --> 00:06:40,560
there's a gap between the top of the glass and the bottom of the panel and it

92
00:06:38,039 --> 00:06:45,600
displays fewer colors too outputting the srgb color palette instead of the DCI P3

93
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,960
found in more expensive models I don't mind that as much as the fact that it

94
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:53,639
doesn't seem to have an anti-reflective coating and is this even oleophobic

95
00:06:51,539 --> 00:06:58,620
there's so many fingerprints you're going to want a good screen protector

96
00:06:56,100 --> 00:07:00,960
oh and there's no headphone jack as well so if you want to give one of these

97
00:06:59,699 --> 00:07:08,160
things to your kids remember that airpods are choking hazard so at 450 is

98
00:07:05,460 --> 00:07:11,100
this iPad worth it no and things get even weirder when you look in the

99
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:15,240
refurbished store at the time of writing a two-year-old iPad Air with the exact

100
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:19,800
same chip and none of the compromises is available for only twenty dollars more a

101
00:07:17,819 --> 00:07:23,639
four-year-old iPad Pro with a chip in the same performance tier remember the

102
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,940
list I made is also only twenty dollars more if you want a little more storage

103
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:31,680
you can get a three-year-old iPad Pro for 100 more and if you want a lot more

104
00:07:29,580 --> 00:07:36,300
storage that four-year-old iPad Pro is 60 less than the equivalent 10th gen

105
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:40,800
compared to this getting one of those is a complete no-brainer and remember

106
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:44,880
Apple's refurbished iPads get a completely new chassis and Battery

107
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:48,060
though I think because of the more modern chip equivalency I'm going to be

108
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:52,199
leaning towards recommending a refurbished air

109
00:07:50,220 --> 00:07:57,660
but it also shows something else very interesting the iPad Pro has been in the

110
00:07:55,020 --> 00:08:02,099
B performance tier for four years then two years later the iPad Air joined the

111
00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:06,539
B performance tier so for a similar price you can get a cheap iPad or one

112
00:08:04,620 --> 00:08:12,180
that was an expensive model a few years ago or if you think you're going to be using

113
00:08:10,259 --> 00:08:16,380
your iPad for a long time and you have the cash you could get an expensive one

114
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:22,680
now and get all the fancy new features in fact the iPad I daily here at the

115
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:24,900
office is a beat up 2017 iPad Pro it has

116
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:28,979
that beautiful promotion screen and it still screams it does everything I could

117
00:08:27,180 --> 00:08:35,520
ever expect an iPad to do incredibly well but the battery is now wearing out

118
00:08:31,379 --> 00:08:38,399
so that's a 100 repair oh the battery's

119
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:44,159
dying well I really get a battery health level in here but if you need a new

120
00:08:41,459 --> 00:08:49,440
model now I'm still happy to buy use and recommend the 9th generation model or

121
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:54,779
look in the refurbished store for the extra 120 dollars the 10th generation

122
00:08:52,380 --> 00:08:58,680
iPad commands it's only really useful for those who are doing lots of video

123
00:08:57,180 --> 00:09:04,800
calls and don't need the pressure sensitivity of the apple pencil which

124
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:06,120
might be most people just not me

125
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:14,160
thanks for forgetting to record the outro for this Mac Address Jonathan if

126
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:17,279
you like the colors of the new iPad give this video a like and if you're curious

127
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:22,080
about more of my thoughts on the iPad particularly with the pro might as well

128
00:09:19,380 --> 00:09:25,980
subscribe now I'm curious are you one of those people who will never use the

129
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:31,040
pencil and therefore the compromises of this iPad won't matter comment below and

130
00:09:28,019 --> 00:09:31,040
also I have a little surprise
