the iPad guy is back baby it's iPad time
once more 10th gen I like talking about iPads if you watched any of my uh LT
reviews on the iPad Pro or the iPad Air or whatever you know that I have
opinions and there are some opinions to form about this guy because they made
some changes let's just say this is the 10th gen uh base model iPad who packaged
this if this was Apple I'm writing a letter doesn't even fit in there just
kidding someone put that back in there probably this is out there we go that's what I
want to see yeah it's the 10 gen iPad and apple is continuing their uh design
philosophy of kind of taking this like flat Square design and passing it down
from the iPad Pro to its children it's a hand me- down design yeah it feels good
the bezel situation seems to be very close to what the iPad Air is you can
kind of see there the bezels are still sort of thick but we do have this FL
design what's what do we have on the outside up here we got two speaker
grills Touch ID sensor SL power button
up top uh to replace the home button that used to be down here on this side
we got the two volume keys on the bottom
two speakers again and the USBC Port that's new this is the last iPod model
to be updated with USBC it's in the iPad Pro and the iPad Air there is also no
headphone jack the 9th gen iPad was the last iPad to to have that and now now
all the newer models do not have a headphone jack anymore on this side we
got the smart uh connector to connect to
uh accessories like that magic keyboard on the opposite side of the SMART
connector is what's this a camera on the
landscape side this is the first iPad to
have that as well normally the camera is over here on the top and now they have
made the decision to move the camera to this side because people are using in
landscape to like FaceTime and stuff this was the Scandal there were many
tweets about the fact that the camera is here now so that means you can't attach
a pencil there on the iPad Air and pro
the way you charge the apple pencil the second gen one which is magnetic is it
snaps to this side but because they put a camera module there they can't put the
charging mechanism there which means that it doesn't support that second gen
pencil we'll get into that there's a dongle situation I have thoughts but
that's where the camera is also this is a 12 megapixel landscape Ultra whatever
they call it wide view camera I think it's 122 fov on the back this used to be
a 8 megapixel camera and now it's upgraded to 12 megapixels so that's the
exterior and then I don't know what that is a flash you can blind your family
while taking photos I think I got it uh we got a
power adapter and a USB-C to C we're all
C all the time except when it comes to
the iPhones that'll change next year though are we excited now we don't just
have the iPad today we also have another related thing that has also gotten an
upgrade and some changes side grades I don't know what you call it it's a magic
keyboard but it's not as fancy as the
floaty magic keyboard that the iPad Pros get that was cool do you remember that
that was like that was shocking what's wrong with you why why
can't I just have some fun ah and then you put this here and then so there it
is keyboard folio this magic keyboard folio is weird this year I didn't break
it they just copied the Surface Pro situation you got the back part of the
folio and then that's going to snap on
to this but you need the you need the iPad I guess the iPad connects but then
you can also snap this guy on is that just
magnets okay and there's also a
kickstand is this an apple Surface Pro
oh my gosh I can't wait to do all of my important professional work on this
computer right after we talk about our sponsor dbrand sent us another iPad and
have uh defaced it in some way or or applied a face enced it uh and what am I
supposed to do just look at it let's see what they did it's a dramatic reveal I'm
scared what is this a skin or is
this I just saw it I just saw it maybe you saw it already viewer there it is
short Linus cuz a short cuz he's a he's
such a small man dbrand Skins are made from high quality 3M vinyl that is true
texture the patented adhesive is guaranteed to leave no residue on your
device if you want to change the skin so that's good and their grip cases for
your phone or airpods or other things are super durable and fit snug just like
Linus's sandals go to short lin.com it's
a funny URL and buy your overpriced stickers today they spend a lot of money
on that URL so they got to make their money back somewhere they need your help
please help the poor poor people at dbrand the service pros you know wobbly
bit here lays flat when you put it down so you can take the tablet and just kind
of stick it on oh that worked sometimes when I come at it from the wrong angle
it like takes a sec it won't it won't connect and then it's connected to the
back that's not this it you know Apple's
really gone downhill the next thing is the fact that this doesn't go back very
far like if they wanted to be Surface Pro if they wanted to copy Surface Pro
you know they have multiple angles and that's fine but Microsoft makes such a
big deal about this hinge like going oh all the way back like I want to push I
want to push it down cool there's one more thing this thing right here what is
this a Macbook of some variety no it's a
magic keyboard for an iPad everyone made a big deal about the iPad Pros magic
keyboard not having an escape button or you know these function row keys but
they're here now this is the weird thing that Apple does with their products is
that they will release a lower tier product after a higher tier product and
the lower tier product will have a more premium Fe feature that the higher tier
product lacks until they add it next year let's talk about some of the specs
while I'm setting this up here this has the A14 bionic uh s so inside it uh
upgraded from the a13 bionic in the ninth gen iPad but it doesn't have the
a15 which was included in the iPad mini
but I can understand this is the base model iPad this is the one you give your mom and your mom's not going to use all
that horsepower just kidding I don't want to say it's just for moms the thing
that's missing that's important to point out here that I I just I have to talk
about it now I was going to talk about it later stage manager the big cool new
feature for iPad OS where you can have windowed apps that's not here they
initially were saying that that wouldn't that feature wouldn't come to lower
model iPads because of a limitation with RAM or the processor requirements or
whatever so I'm sure that's what they're saying this time but it is really weird
for them to essentially have iPad OS with all the bells and whistles a
keyboard accessory that turn it basically into a laptop but take like
leave out that feature that makes it more of like a a computer situation so
that's weird and I actually haven't tried it out yet so I was looking forward to doing that and now I can't
and I'm upset but to make that a little bit better let's look at the display
because it has been upgraded we got a 2360 x640 resolution 264 pixels per
square in which means I guess in Apple's logic that means that it's a liquid
Retina Display which is the same thing as the other iPads so it's upgraded in
more ways than one the display uh gets up to 500 nits brightness which I gu
yeah you're not going to be using this outside I hope you're not you know how
you have like inside cats and outside cats the iPad is an inside cat if you're
using your iPad with this stuff sitting on a park bench cuz you have work to do
fine that's fine it's weird but I'll
I'll let it I'll allow it but if you're just sitting on a park bench going like
on your iPad I'm like go home get a room I want to be clear that this is more of
a bit than any sort of like earnestly held belief on my part but hey comment
below if you have thoughts about that but everyone knows that the coolest
thing to do with your iPad is take photos with it while you're lounging
inappropriately at the park ready guys 3
2 1 oh that was good
stabilization oh my gosh I'm at the event I'm at the event and I I got to
see up front because I'm hold and I'm holding my iPad up in front of everyone
else so they can't actually see what's going on they can just see what's on my iPad screen and wow thank you so much
son for getting me this iPad I love it I take it everywhere hate mom's I bought
my mom an iPad this is no okay I'm going to put this back on because this is now
a teleconferencing device and it's even better because look at this we're
centered the camera is centered perfectly in the thing does it really
bother people that much if the camera is over here instead of up here it's got
Center Stage so I can go leave go away leave me alone stop Apple stop follow
stop it apparently that we have this technology that lets it makes it look as
if you're looking at the camera I've heard about that I don't know was it is that released the only time I ever
really use Apple products in any real respect is when I unbox them on short
circuit ready we're having so much fun
yeah you could have done better Jake my eyes are closed it's an iPad camera got
no complaints here is iPad
video thank you for coming to this video
video call I'm disappointed frankly in your performance which is why I put you
down here and I'm up here talking to you I think I've encountered this before on
iPads but it is super confusing because when you think about the iPad in
portrait mode where's the power button up here right the volume button closest
to the touch ID sensor is volume up when it's in
landscape it's the opposite that's really confusing to me as someone who is
used to kind of just like feeling where the button is and pressing it regardless
of what orientation the device is in you're not supposed to use ph's
landscape anyways I can get over it this time to continue the crab Rave because I
love them so much you know as usual Apple has like
the best iPad speakers or tablet speakers at the very least and I think
even their phone speakers are like the best right what what are they doing what
what's their special sauce but I do want to confirm whether these are both
speakers or
not from my very technical testing I've determined that this is a speaker and
this is not can you see that screen is as you know amazing based on crab Rave
which is our what how we how we test will artists be able to use this instead
of like the iPad Air the iPad Pro well that's a good question one that we're
not fully able to answer on this ShortCircuit but we can talk about the pencil
support because this is interesting Apple has the first gen
pencil which is right here other way and
you know when this launched it was so funny because the way you're supposed to
charge is by literally inserting it into the iPad like this so then your iPad
would be sitting there with the with the pencil sitting out and then Apple fixed
that by releasing the second gen uh apple pencil which charges magnetically
as I said earlier however we've moved the camera over here which means that we
can't magnetically attach the second gen pencil to that side uh instead it only
supports the first gen pencil but uh-oh
this iPad has a USBC port instead of lightning so you can't directly plug it
in like that you need the dongle the $9 dongle the only other way I could think
of them that that they could do it make a dongle that goes from USBC to like a
little charging cradle for the second gen pencil so then you could just you
know you could use the second gen pencil if you're going to have a dongle to use
use a pencil anyways it would make sense to have like a dongle that allows you to
use the new pencil but then the question comes up oh is there something about the
display technology here that doesn't
also doesn't support the second gen pencil and I am not equipped to answer
that question it might be the case that I'm thinking way too hard about all this
you know this is the base model iPad maybe this isn't like the most
technically Advanced iPad you can ever get but it comes in fun colors there's
pink there's blue there's yellow or silver and uh if I didn't mention that
horse would kill me and so we have to remember at the end of the day that this
is for you know this isn't for the pros this isn't for the people who are like I
need a capable machine to draw my
professional diagrams and stuff it's for
you know the people who want one of the cheaper iPads but if you consider that
that that's another interesting thing because this is $450 that's a big jump up from
$329 that the 9th gen iPad launched at
this keyboard folio is $249 this should be way less this should
be like under 100 this should be under 100 for this thing I'm sorry I think
that they're overpriced I think that iPads always will be overpriced but like
it's weird I have this weird relationship with Apple iPads where I think that like they're overpriced and
like people really shouldn't buy them unless they like don't have any other options and they're not really Tech
literate but I love them at the same time I want to use I want to get an iPad
and customize it and use iPad OS and use stage manager so this wouldn't be the
right one because it doesn't support stage manager but the platform is really
interesting it's smooth it's userfriendly
it's pretty and one thing I didn't mention is that this keyboard you know
it's a magic keyboard it's a very distinct bump when you type on it feels
good to me in conclusion it's the
somewhat similar conclusion to the one that I always do which is iPads are
really really cool I love playing with iPads I want Apple to make continue
making iPads and I want people rich people with lots of expendable income to
keep buying them so that they keep developing this form factor maybe
eventually it'll be less expensive maybe it'll make a little bit more sense as
they keep adding these desktop features but you should probably still get the
ninth gen one and you should also check out
another video from ShortCircuit watch one of our iPad videos from Recently
watch my iPad Mini one I talked about how it can be a phone but not really so
you probably shouldn't use it like that
