Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Apple iPad 10.2-inch 2019 hands-on”.
This is Apple’s seventh generation iPad.. It’S an update to the entry-level 9.7 inch iPad. That’S so familiar. Big changes here. A new 10.2 inch display support for the first generation Apple Pencil and a keyboard connector for the Smart Keyboard case.
That Apple makes for its other iPads. As well. The way I’m thinking about this is it’s all of Apple’s best stuff from years past, packed into a very familiar case for just $ 329., So you’ve still got a Lightning port.. You’Ve got a Touch ID home. Button.
You’ve got the first generation Pencil, the silly charging and the fiddly cap and you’ve got Apple’s older, Smart Keyboard case, not the new flippy one that comes with the iPad. Pro. You’ve got an A10 Fusion processor instead of the newer A13X in the iPad Pro..
A lot of older stuff from the Apple catalog but stuff that reviewed really well at the time and for $ 329 it’s a lot of bang for the buck.. You can pre-order the new seventh generation iPad, today. They’ll start shipping at the end of September.. So there’s a lot of iPads now., The iPad mini starts at $ 399..
This 10.2 inch iPad is $ 329.. The iPad Air is $ 499 and the iPad Pro starts at $ 799.. That is a huge spread of price points.. You can kinda see what Apple’s doing.
Wherever you are, however, much money you have to spend, there’s an iPad for you.. This iPad, in particular seems very targeted at somebody who might buy a Chromebook or a cheap Windows laptop instead.. You get the full set of iPad apps the whole ecosystem.. You get the Pencil support., You get things like Apple Arcade, which, let’s you play an enormous amount of games for $ 4.99, a month., That’s stuff, Chromebook can’t do..
It’S a pretty big aggressive move from Apple.. Again, some older specs, but compared to those cheap Chromebooks or a cheap Windows laptop. It seems like a very interesting product.. We have to review everything.
We’re gon na. Do that. We’re gon na come back and let you know .
