The New iPad is Weird! 

fun fact, the original iphone had 2 teams, hardware, and software, and software was ALSO split between two teams, one team wanted to base the OS off OSX and one off the ipod OS.

It’s one team, but they also don’t talk to each other.

They're obviously inspired by Google

Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. That’s what happened on that cross. By believing that Jesus died on the cross and rose up from the dead 3 days later and not just confessing your sin, but also repenting of all sin you have done and putting all your trust in Him in prayer, He will grant you everlasting life as a free Gift.

They can absolutely still do all features in one go without doing this "experimental phase". They just do this so that people would buy more in the end. When they finally do all features in one go fans would cream their pants for apple being "Smart". thus Apple can keep them like obedient little dogs.... Im still getting the Ipad air 5 though XD

the price increase is probably because of inflation and for investors that wants more growth in the company

Dat der alliteration by da boi marques

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.

I think the iPads could be used more and more for educational purposes. And the simple advantage of being able to write and draw with a pen makes the iPads more effective

But it doesn't have a lightning port either to charge the 1st gen pencil....

It's also potentially the result of production/supply issues that have been going on in recent years.

truths

but why couldn’t the pencil just be on the short side then 😭

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.

GREAT 👍

A good cook could cook as many cookies as a good cook who could cook cookies.

I literally thought the same thing. I could totally see Apple doing this 😂😂

That's exactly the reason!

Yeah, that’s a bullshit move. I have both and I’d rather have 2nd gen magnetically charging on my iPad.

I think the 2nd-gen pencil requires a laminated display and I suspect they have a reason to stick to non-laminated in the base model.

@@shaunmoneil you’re absolutely right! The price would be too high.

Why didn’t you wait till the 4 mini wasn’t able to get updates anymore 15.7.2 update was literally just released and I found out there good till 16. Over all I thought my mini was finish when it comes to updates so I purchased the 10 and thought it was a piece of garbage so I took it back, as returning from the store I thought I’d check one last time to see if there was any update and holy crap 15.7.2 popped up, so over all I’m good for another year.

@@joewatson3261 16 made the old ones hella slow. That's why I also upgraded to this one.

@@joewatson3261 I'm fixing to upgrade from the mini 4 as well. Only reason I am doing it is because I use it every single day while at work and it has gotten insanely slow. If it wasn't so slow, I would just keep it. But it takes like 30 seconds for my app to open now.

Why would Apple care about reviews? Reviews are only out there to increase publicity (positive or negative; it doesn’t matter). Maybe to also encourage consumers on the fence. At this point, Apple has enough loyal followers that it doesn’t matter what they do. Enough people will always buy Apple products that it doesn’t matter

@@vullord666 sad but true 😔

What world are you living in, Apple is killing it.

I just got the iPad 9th Gen too, and I love it as my 3rd iPad. Sure the pricier models are nicer, but I know I don't need them, as I have a pretty good desktop PC and an old MacBook Pro for my creative stuff. Plus I've never understood the gripe about the bezels... Super thin bezels make sense on a monitor, or even a phone, but an iPad is larger and heavier - you need something to hold on to! The iPad 9th Gen 10.2 will stand you in good stead for many years, my friend, and the base model is a steal at £319 here in the UK (Is it $399 in the US? Can't remember.) Just be frugal with apps as the 64GB storage can fill up fast with today's ridiculous app sizes.

@@realcartoongirl the full screen external display support will come in ipados 16 by the end of the year, somthe cropped issue will be gone

Doesn't even support the gen 1, since you only charge it via lightning. Using a dongle is not supporting it..

@@25566 that’s true, but in fairness, it wasn’t apples decision to change to usb C originally, so it’s not like they can get around that

@@Lex_brooke they already saw it coming a long while ago, they already had removed the lightning from the pro and air models, so that excuse doesn’t hold ground

@@STORMFIRE07 I mean that they can’t really change the fact that the gen 1 pencil has a lightening charger, that pre-dates the change in EU regulations, so it’s naturally going to not be directly compatible going forward. Short of having a gen 1.2 with a USB C charger to fit, an adapter is the easiest option

@@Lex_brooke personally, imo they would have easily solved the non compatibility issue just by making iPad compatible with Apple Pencil 2 instead, by removing the keyboard connector from the bottom and making the iPad keyboard Bluetooth only, and putting the magnetic charger for Apple Pencil there instead And for the people who already had Apple Pencil 1, they should have held an upgrade program for them to update to Apple Pencil 2 instead (like charging $30 bucks for upgrade, since Apple Pencil 2 costs $129 vs $99 for Apple Pencil 1), so everyone wins

not apple like, it's all or nothing at this point

The new iPad makes the 9th look dated, that home button with huge bezels has been there since the 1st gen.

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

Its marketing. Apple knows 64 is too low for anything. Thats why they have a more expensive version with more storage. They can use the low storage to market a lower price. Realistically most ppl will (idiotically) buy the more expensive ipad

@@brobob52 I'll die on the hill that an iPad is not a sufficient computer for most people and should not be used as one. I prefer it as a media consumption device because really we're not past that yet. And if you just use it for media, drawing, or gaming, or whatever less consuming activity you might do, 64 gb could be enough, but even than that's low

1. "Unusable" is relative. Depends on the person's needs and desires. 2. If you don't understand by now that their strategy has always been to entice people with a baseline price then rope them into upgrading to a higher one then I don't know where you've been for the past decade. That said, of course someone that wants this is likely better off getting the previous one for cheaper like Marques said...but my point still remains that some people's use case for a device is quite limited. Typical is irrelevant to an individual making the choice that's best for them.

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

Almost 13GB alone in OS and 10% reserve, bring you down to 50GB. What a joke when 128GB chip for them versus 64GB is probably less than $5 USD.
