Makes you wonder, if the Pad design team is actually one team or multiple teams which does not talk to each other during the design process.
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.
You said it right.
these new iPads are literally the definition of 1 step forward and 3 steps back
The base iPad 10, iPad X. Not so much iPad Pro.
Yo I just ate at the Chinese buffet and it was so good. I fell asleep after and woke up just now. Haven’t had a buffet in so long
0 step forward infinite step backwards
Why did I immediately think of the Olivia rodrigo song
That is literally apple
They’re probably going to wait another 2 years to get every clear and obvious upgrade in one go. Kinda like finally getting all of the features from the normal apple earbuds (triple and double tap, pause and volume increase) in the AirPods Pro 2nd gen.
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
@@pokiblue5870 *only due to investors and apples greed.
Triple and double tap were already on the original pros
This iPad helped me get the 9th gen for $359 CDN so I appreciate that in the very least.
Remember when we used to get good upgrades on a product every year while the price remained the same? Yeah that's not happening anymore
Apple is really hurting from inflation…they had to raise prices. *sarcasm*
Apple sure knows how to rip off their base.

We’re at the final stage of capitalism where big corps must cannibalize their customers to increase profits and stock prices.
I wonder if it has to do with inflation?
Love how you remain so honest

And he got the linus tech tips bananna
the reason I got the new 2022 iPad instead of the last gen is for note-taking in school. The new screen without the home button seemed to work better as a "notebook", and I did not need the features of the iPad pro or air, which were both also out of my price range. I think in this aspect the new iPad excels, but I do agree that the whole apple pencil situation is very weird.
wasnt an Air 4 refurb possible?
@@SimonBauer7 id rather have a new iPad over a refurbished. The newer the product is the longer it will have update support
@@andrewisvrycool literally me! Im thinking im gonna go for the mini6 just bc of the pencil situation. Id forget to charge the pencil
Most creators/influencers would skim over this without really taking a stand like you did. I appreciate your transparency and stating what us "normal" users are thinking.
That “honesty” comes with subs. When you realize that most creators barely have 100k subs and Marques has over 16 million, he can say what he wants and doesn’t have to pander
@@g.r.2985 Yet people with lower subscribers are also not pandering to Apple. It's not about subscriber count, it's just having good morals and ethics
@@Shiba9870 Yes and no. Most Techtubers want free or early products from Apple or other companies, just to talk in most of the cases about the good things. They need that relevance to been known by other people, its bad but it's the reality

And to be sincerely honest in my humble opinion without being sentimental of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view and without hiding any thoughts in my mind and without lies,to the actual truth with my clear open mind and clean heart,expressing what ever is embedded inside me for a long time which I didn't say just because I was nervous.But Today, by gathering all the courage and motivation, I just want to say that I actually feel and think that I have absolutely nothing to say.
Wait, so the “new” Magic Keyboard is just the Logitech touch combo?
Yes. But in white and expensive
I have it
Watching this from my iPad Pro 3rd gen (12.9”, 1TB storage, a monster, and makes me not miss my laptop)…I bought it over 3 years ago, and have been using it almost daily since. I won’t need to be replacing it for atleast a few years. Also love the 2nd gen pencil, it still works perfectly. Only thing I need to replace soon is the keyboard folio.
I have an iPad Pro 2nd Gen (12.9") and I'm convinced everything is trying to tell me my iPad doesn't exist, but it's still new enough to get updates and be treated like it exists. I don't even know anymore man...
@@DilettanteThat that’s a super solid iPad too…i think ipad pros in general are sturdy beasts and will last you a long time before you need to upgrade. I just don’t like how fragile (and expensive!) the keyboard folio is, mine is filthy and tattered from 2+ years of almost daily use, and it barely works anymore.
i have ipad 9th gen 10.2
watching this on my iphone 4s 🥴
you're good for 8 years seriously
I like how Marques always looks at his reviews with the mindset of “Would I recommend this and who would I recommend it to?”
Hahaha wow so inspiring
It also goes a long way when you recommend the right product to a customer without all the extra bells and whistles they dont need. And most of the time theyll spread the good word and gets you more business.
@@vuketheduke3628 abso-fcuking-lutely. Hate the greedy up-sell !!!........................but, hey it's all about -rinsing the consumer- the profit margins!! Right? :)
Literally every reviewer does that.
It's almost like it's a review
Marques speaking Spanish was something that I was not expecting, but made those seconds totally worth it.
Imagínate que hiciera un canal en español sería el mejor
I was caught off guard jaja
Un regalo para los hispanohablantes
Minuto?

i love him. straightforward, honest and everything was smoothly explained. thanks for the video :)
Interesting take on it. I came to the same conclusion when shopping for a replacement laptop for my sister. I ended up realizing that she could get a fully functioning laptop for the same price or less! And that's a Windows or Mac laptop... If the keyboard and upgrade to 256GB storage weren't so expensive, then it might make some sense as a mid-range iPad.
The way he reacted after summing up the ipad and keyboard to 850$ was gold 😂
Indeed, a great performance from a multi millionaire content creator. 😂
@@stephenmclaughlin6296 at least he gives criticism where criticism is due, he wouldn't be a good reviewer otherwise. (although as I am from a poorer country than the US I gravitate towards a completely different tech universe than Marques does). On a side note becoming rich doesn't automatically make you ignore price tags all of a sudden, you dd be surprised how people's spending doesn't adjust 1 to 1 with how rich they get
@@justinsm not even musk, yes you see rich people spend a lot on individual purchases/investments but their day to day spending might not change, it's more of per person thing I imagine

Why would anyone that just wants a decent iPad want 256GB of storage? Yes they sell it in this config for the sake of it but why would a mom do something like that?
When MKBHD says a product is weird you know its really weird.
When MKBHD says an APPLE product is weird you know it is really, really weird.
FR
@@LeoAngora Exactly what I thought when I saw the title. Allow me to make a slight modification to your comment: "When MKBHD says an APPLE product is *weird* you know it is really, really *terrible value* ". This iPad + keyboard attachment ($850) costs as much as a brand new Macbook Air M1 (discounted to $899 all the time now, $600 for unopened box/brand NEW on eBay).
Absolutely!!
especially for an apple product, but I fully agree with his opinion here.
An ipad that made sense would be this new ipad with 128 which is what people actually need now. at the same price with the magic pencil 2 being compatible.
I agree and drop the 9 gen which doesn’t look right along all the new models. They have a smaller mini model and I was like uhhh why so many 😂
iPad 2015: I have the weirdest way to charge an accessory. iPad 2022: Hold my dongles.
I love how apple managed to make the already horribly designed Apple Pencil even worse
1. Apple intentionally decided not to add Apple Pencil 2 support for the iPad because they know it'll steal the iPad mini and Air market. 2. Marques speaking Spanish is really suprising and caught me off guard.
True
The Spanish is from a successful Tex-mex and campaign. It’s been running for years.
you know what they say in business? it's better to cannibalize your own market instead of your competitors...
Probs not the iPad mini but certainly the iPad air
He's full of surprises isn't he :)
Good honest review. I do miss your up to date cell phone reviews.
Excellent review. I'm new to Apple products and am still thinking about whether to buy an ipad and if yes which ones. I was having very similar feelings about the ipad 10 in particular, but couldn't figure it out on point as you present it here. N.B. this is the third ipad review video im watching, and the first one to bring clarity to me on the ipad10.
3:01 I didn't know I needed to hear Marques talking in Spanish until now
Same
Porque no losdos
"This is a slightly strange set of stuff, slotted between sweet and simple. Sufficient for some, but pretty silly for most" Honestly, the perfect way to describe these new ipads lol
Indeed. My man Marques makes managing money on potentially meaningless merchandise more simple.
Lol this is perfect that's funny
Absolutlely! Ample alliteration always activates my amygdala
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.
Happy with my 8th. Thanks for the transparency. Sounds like I am waiting to upgrade.
I’m still chilling here with my iPad Air gen6 and don’t feel like upgrading my iPad does everything I want it to do and works just fine
The way Marques breaks things down is probably the best out here. Simple, Efficient and leaves the viewer in a good space to make a decision. Problem solver MKBHD. 👏
I have a 9th gen
No, but ok
To clarify, my Chup bhosdike comment was for a spam message that was here on my comment
yoo dude i just ate a chinese buffet
@@goldski nobody cares
You're the first person I've seen to give a potential explanation as to why the Gen 2 pencil isn't supported, and it finally makes sense when I think about it as a direct compromise between the camera on the long edge and new pencil support (although it making sense doesn't quite make it any less annoying). Thank you!
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.
Your transparency and honesty in this review is so refreshing. You sir, gained a sub.
I just got this as an upgrade from the iPad mini 4 and it’s a big upgrade although it’s weird, I still love it
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.

Thanks buddy for your honest review. You made everything crystal clear.
Good review. Worth the time to watch. Will help with decision making.
Once you upgrade the storage and add the keyboard, you are flying close to MacBook Air territory, which would be a better choice for anything but drawing. And for digital art, the iPad Pro is definitely a better choice. Good points. Thank you.
the ipad is also better for taking notes at university, writing with the pencil is so much better than using a laptop especially for maths, engineering etc but of course if you use an ipad you will also need a laptop for heavier stuff
@@lauragrossi1910 there are real paper notebooks for that...
@@UTJK. 🤣
@@UTJK. of course but some professors use pdfs and powerpoints, why would i print them?
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
The reviews this year have to be the most devastating Apple has received in a long time….hopefully a wake up call. Edit: Lol @ the people replying to my comment arguing the iPhone. We are on an iPad review, therefore I’m talking about iPad reviews. Take the pitchforks elsewhere.
yes
Have you seen 2016 yet?
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.
Love the honesty. Most down to earth reviewer to exist. Merry Crimbo x
i love the new design the problem i had with the old design is the black bars were hollow glass which broke most of the time
I think they use the 1st gen pencil in this because they probably have an overstock of them in a warehouse somewhere 😅
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.

Still can't believe that Apple didn't just put the 4-year old Pencil 2 on this thing
they would have made even more money as well the thing costs more than gen 1 and most people who are upgrading obviously don't have the gen 2 soooooo hmmmm
They should've at least put the adapter in the box. What a waste.
I believe it's to keep the new features exclusive to their "pro" lineup, they do that all the time. Also theres a rumor of a USB-C Apple Pencil coming soon. (edit: usb-c pencil is not real but possibly a new version soon)
@@HOAheadquarters they will release it 3 years from now. lol
@@HOAheadquarters but the iPad Air uses the Apple Pencil 2

This years ipad line up is trans
ya
Maybe apple should start including the pencil with the tablet like samsung does
I have the new iPad and I love it. I had the first iPad Pro but it was only 32 Gb. With the new iPad I have 256 gb. Which is a game changer for me. I primarily use my iPad for social media, FaceTime and updating our website. I’m pleased and will probably keep for at least 3 or 4 years.
5:53 - I like how the mirrored fullscreen video is cropped on all sides, making the video notably smaller than the screen supports. Good job, Apple.
its supposed to become full screen but some how dididmt
@@realcartoongirl the full screen external display support will come in ipados 16 by the end of the year, somthe cropped issue will be gone
Why can’t they just move the webcam on the iPad Pro to the correct spot and put the magnet charger for the pencil on the top/left where the camera used to be?
That would be great if they would.
i think theyre doing their usual thing of leaving themselves development space by always offering slightly less than what they really have. money.
Cause thats a redesign and no longer making the iPad base model a base model.
Because the speakers
Why not just add the apple pencil to the other side and the camera to the opposite side camera up top pencil down below…
Great insight Marques. Confirms my thoughts too on Apple decision making (used in the most generous fashion).
my man said "por que no los dos?" 😂 THANK YOU! that's my thinking exactly...
The base ipad was always the #1 tablet I reccomended to anyone who asked because the value at the $329 price tag was impossible to beat. Now at $449 it's a much harder sell, and I hope they keep the "old case new chips" system like with the iphone SE around for it and just make it the iPad SE.
The iPad lineup is confusing enough. Please don't add any more complexity.
You wanna laugh? It‘s 579€ in Germany. They also raised the old one to 429€ 😂
@@Mutio86 Fun fact: I just got a Pixel 7 Pro, a flagship smartphone, on preorder with the free Pixel Watch for 899€. After selling the watch for 310€, my Pixel now evens out to 589€, 10€ above the price of the ENTRY LEVEL iPad. Let that sink in.
we never saw any SE product other than with the IPhone and if then the IPad SE will be just as bad as the new iPhone SE. the battery and screen are terribly bad for the price
@@Mutio86 Well, all Apple products went up in Europe, our currencies are kinda messed up atm and since Apple is American they need to increase prices.

Love how honest and real these reviews are. Love how honest and real these reviews are.
They could just move the camera a bit either to the right or the left (2-3 cm) to make space for the Apple Pencil charging module. Older generations of iPhones have the camera slightly to the side to make space for the front speaker.
not apple like, it's all or nothing at this point
Even now too the iPhone 14 Pro has the camera off-center to the right in the Dynamic Island
I think if they add gen2 Apple Pencil support, it’ll make it more expensive
@@jacksewe123 I wouldn’t imagine so, because it’s the same iPad Air case and internals from the air 2 years ago right? I honestly think it had to have been more expensive altering the case for the camera than just leaving the pencil 2 support in it.

I think it would have been way better with 2 gen pencil support. It could have been a great drawing tablet for a decent low price :/

@Karl with a K or you can buy the iphone x - 13 trust me these are better
this is anything but low price haha
then it wouldn't be cheap?
I actually got this iPad a couple of weeks ago for $300. Used mind you be in very good condition. And I was able to get the ESR Magnetic Keyboard case the resembles the magic keyboard for another $45. I absolutely love my setup. Especially considering what I got it for. I will say that if I had been paying retail price, I would've just got a used iPad Air 4.
I use iPad Pro 3rd gen and the only complaint I have is it has the infamous “manufacture” bend. I think it really comes from resting on the camera.
Still use an og pro 9 inch. Holds up well. Mine is bent like yours. Also battery is still pretty good
I thought u said ipad 3rd gen i was like huh ☠️
Great insight! I bought a 9th-generation iPad a week before the 10th was announced (my 7th-gen fell on a tile floor and smashed into a thousand pieces). Once I heard about the 10th-gen, I deliberately avoided torturing myself by looking at the tech that I barely missed out on. However, after watching this video and hearing your absolutely fair criticisms and questions, I don’t feel so bad anymore! 😀 I won’t lie, the webcam on the long side would be really helpful because I use my iPad (in landscape mode) for Zoom pretty regularly. I also don’t use an Apple Pencil, and I do have a USB-C charge cable already, so the 10th-gen would have some clear perks. Still, I’m not super keen on the $100+ price bump, and I am utterly dependent on my iPad keyboard (I didn’t have to buy a new one because the 7th and 9th are the same dimensions). Given the huge price bump, I probably would’ve stuck with the 9th-gen anyway, so I feel good that I made the choice I did! 😀 Thanks a lot for the video! Made me feel better!
The same feeling I had when I bought iPhone 13 just 6 days before iPhone 14 was announced. Then after learning that it doesn’t have significant difference and has almost identical form factor. Hahahhaha
I was in the same exact position.
I went with a last-gen ipad air, and feel much the same way. Hardly any improvements, and absolutely no sense of missing out on the cool new thing with it. My old ipad still does everything I need/want it to do, and does it as well as ever.
I have 2 9th gen and a 10th gen. The 10th is literally far superior than 9th gen. You messed up deal with it
@@ANONAMEMO I have a 13pm and 14. The 14 screen is insane compared to the 13. Cameras are way better too. Literally everything is better. Not sure why clowns think last gen is even remotely close lmao. Clowns
I’m glad that it supports the gen 1 pencil, since it’d be ridiculous to have to get another one. But not supporting the gen 2?! You’re right, I don’t get why this exists. They could’ve just revamped the 9th gen camera and port, and integrated all of the newer functions into a new iPad Pro
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
you're freakin most pragmatic review mate!!!!! I kinda got a clarity for what to buy now! Thanks
I recently bought the iPad 10th gen with the Apple Pencil, from Best Buy and i bought the version with the adapter included with the Apple Pencil for the same exact price for just the Apple Pencil.
Fun fact, in Indonesia there are many apple pencil “dupes” which offer palm rejection with prices as low as $15-20. They are shaped like the 2nd generation apple pencil, with magnetic sides and type c charging plus tilt sensitivity. You don’t have to pair anything either. If you double tap the pencil they’ll work straight away. The only downside is the pressure sensitivity and lower latency. In my opinion if you’re getting the base 10th gen ipad just for school and notetaking, the new squared bezel paired with apple pencil dupe will do wonders! Type c charging + magnetic attachment is something i’d die for. If you’re looking something for art might as well get an ipad air/pro. Just my thoughts 😊
I was looking forward to this one because I wanted to ditch my lightning cables, and for the easy USB-C to HDMI support (I'm a teacher so I need to quickly jack-into an A/V setup when I rush into a classroom with only 50 minutes of lecture time). The 64BG storage is even OK for me, as most of the presentations are on the cloud. In my current 6th Gen iPad I'm using only 44 out of 128 available GB. Also I'm in a country that borders China, so $10 knock-off versions of that keyboard and kickstand will probably be out soon enough. But that price... hooooo doggies. Did I mention I'm a teacher? [update] for those asking, I'm in Thailand. The salary is not that bad here, probably about the median for ASEAN countries. So yes I can afford an $800 iPad but... it's hard to pay that much when they've been running $350-$400 up till now. I could also afford to buy a $50 t-shirt and $75 pair of underwear but that doesn't mean I'm going to. I will most likely stay with my Gen 6 since it's working just fine.
Get an air 4
@@GrilledChickenRamyun he's a teacher, he needs ipad 9
Get a 64 gb/256 gb iPad 9, you will get 3-4 yrs of great performance, along with regular software updates, out of it..
What do you teach there Barry? if you don't mind me asking.
refurbished pro/air or used ones would be fine
2:09 They included a usb-c adapter alongside a lightning adapter in my purchase of an Apple Pencil 1st gen for my school iPad
The apple pencil is about the same size as the top of the iPad so I always wondered why the pencil didn’t magnetically attach there. It would make a lot of sense on this iPad since the webcam prevents the pencil from attaching to the side.

Thanks for the honest review. This year I don't think anything released from Apple has a fair price. Every product is overpriced.
True..
I relative new to the channel, has Marques done any reviews on “Payment rings” such as McClear 🤔🤔Thx
Agreed, I have an old Ipad Air and it lasted forever, but the prices these days and the competition with Android Tablets I just can't justify spending that kind of money on new Apple products anymore.
2:41 bold of Marques to assume that schools having the 9th gen iPad will upgrade to the 10th gen. They gotta keep em until they're ancient and borderline unusable
True if you are talking about upgrading an entire fleet of iPads, but not true if you are adding additional iPads to the fleet and want to have that feature preserved while slowly migrating things over to USB-C. This is especially true in Europe where USB-C is the law of the land.
do schools have ipads in the us? damn
@@hattyuu some rich ones. Each school district has its own funding. Some host fundraisers to buy that kind of thing.
@@hattyuu in the uk , they give us all ipads with keyboard cases to take home
@@marcusborderlands6177 wow that's great for you guys here in hungary, aside from the horrible education system, state-funded schools have basically zero budget compared to that. it's lucky that a few schools got to give out school laptops
The other iPad updates have made me regret getting my 9th generation at times, but this one made me feel better about it.
Seeing this am happy with my 9th gen. Don’t se a single reason to upgrade
Dude I just bought 2, TWO ipad 9s for the price of a 5th gen air, for me and my wife. Don't you dare buy anything newer, you made the best fi nancial decision
I was thinking of upgrading my 6th gen iPad to the 10th but after seeing it I think I'll go with the 9th. Even the Air was too expensive for me despite having the better specs.
The new iPad makes the 9th look dated, that home button with huge bezels has been there since the 1st gen. Not to mention the lightning port that will make it very dated when everything Apple sells is compatible with USB-C (except iPhones but it'll most likely be for the iPhone 15). Sure, it's more expensive but it's a much better product than the 9th gen
@@user-hs2hd7wp9g every iPhone will be dated after Apple switches to USB-C, it’s called aging.
Wow it’s crazy that the 6th gen mini is still going strong and I thought all these releases would make me want to upgrade but I’m glad mine can still do most everything these new ones can. I suppose it’ll be a while before the next mini then
Amazing review, great detail 👍🏾
Right, being from Europe, the iPad prices are bit higher than those overseas, which I kind of get. However, 2 weeks ago I purchased an AiPad Air for €638 (including a teacher discount). Then this new "basic" iPad came out, and when I checked the same retailer's price of the Air including the discount, it said €722. And we are talking about the 64 GB version... They had to raise the price of the Air in order to make the base model worth buying. The base model should start at $399 at most.
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.
Just the new pencil situation is an absolute deal breaker for any school or college student
exactly, if you're a student no reason to not get the air or pro
Right? That's such a weird "upgrade". Sticking with my 2021 iPad Air🙄
gotta cut costs. also the first pencil can be found very cheap. first pencil doesnt work with new ipads
Literally killed it for me…
@@takoflame4948 First pencil’s price literally went up by few bucks
Finally…. I thought my iPad had some issue that whnever I look in to my camera I feel Iam looking side ways .. any fix for it !!!
I purchased the 9th gen in space gray 256 GB. I considered trading it in for the 10th gen, but it’s not that serious. All of the things that you mentioned in this video were spot on.
Fun fact: the usb-c to lightning cable pictured in the thumbnail will probably make millions and in total more revenue than some other real companies out there.
Big facts
dropshippers boutta go crazy
You mean the adapter? Because that's a USB C to USB C cable.
@@snoopyalien24 no it's not. It's usb-c to lightning, bc the lightning end is plugged up into the apple pencil
@@snoopyalien24 Look again.
Love how you remain so honest. That's why you are the best reviewer out there.
Based comment, and that's why I follow only him in the Tech world.
@@abdulsbeei Mrwhosetheboss is also a very honest and reliable reviewer who has some differing opinions and angles on things. Highly recommend.
@@unknown8881 Yep I agree. Marques and MrWhoseTheBoss Aka Arun are two massive KZheadrs in the tech world but remain true to their work by staying honest and not sugarcoating anything. What’s the point of being a reviewer if you’re gonna end up talking like a salesman instead lol.
I just got the iPad 10th gen with cellular, it was on sale for 1/2 off and a free year of 5G cellular service, so I decided to upgrade from my 1st gen iPad Pro, I’m absolutely love the 10th gen, the cameras are so much better than my old iPad Pro, it’s super fast compared to what I’m used too, and the screen is super bright for me, I also love the metallic blue color as well, it just pops, I just do mainly watching videos and playing games, and look on the internet and some photography and fly my drone with it and it has done everything with no problems at all
I just got the 9th gen for Christmas. It works great. It’s my first iPad and I’ve really enjoyed it. I’m watching this video on it as we speak. Seems like the 9th gen was a solid choice lol I may upgrade in a few years when they get their act together with the new ones 😂 but we shall see…
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.
Love your reviews man, I like the fact that even though most of the tech sponsors you or sends you tech to review your still going to keep it straight and not just inflate all the good stuff about them. Thanks for the hard work brother.

@@tamtran-lx6zr ok
Bro, you do an incredible job putting these videos together. Thanks for the information!
This is the best review video. I’ve always trusted your opinion/reviews on devices. I was looking into buying this iPad, but now I dnt believe its worth my money. Thank you!
This is the anchoring effect. When you buy a 256G basic iPad, you think it's better to add some money to buy an iPad mini. After seeing the price of the large memory iPad mini, you think it's better to buy an iPad air and so on. Finally, you bought an iPad pro.That‘s why basic iPad is weird.
While I agree, and thats absolutely the intent, once you get to those price levels, I feel like you'd be better off just getting a Macbook
@@oceanmew yeah the baseline model doesn't have that much ram so you should upgrade to the 256 gig version...
@@AvastarBin Yeah and then they upsell you on a macbook pro or whatever, sure. but my take is that this pricing strategy ruins the iPad. The iPad doesn't need hardware that powerful, right now it's bottlenecked by it's software. It should be a fun device for playing around on and consuming media and they've turned them into these super expensive psudo-computers. FOR ME, I'd much rather just have a mac than that.
@@oceanmew or buy a last gen pro, just got a pro 11 2021 for 650 euros new
It sounds like Apple isn't really investing in the iPad design team. They've made a design that kinda works and they're done for a while. Now, for the next few years they just want to ride this wave and have an ipad at literally every possible price category to ensure that everyone with different budgets interested in an ipad has an ipad to buy. I wonder though where their design team is focused on right now. Hopefully, on some cool brand new product
Well I mean it’s probably a dying market. I think Steve Jobs didn’t wanna pursue the iPad because it was and still is pointless
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.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God! Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.
@@JonahNelson7 It's not pointless is a good device for a lot of use cases, study and digital art being one of the number ones
@@JonahNelson7 lowkey is, most tablets are used for services suchs as healthcare or clothing brands for checkups. Laptops blow out of the water tablets nowadays and theres even hybrid laptops that turn into tablets making the latter even more questionable to buy.
Most honest tech review ever! Finally someone said it, apple is exceptional sometimes ( in inconvenience)

@@ketanvaghela7001 not with its clickbait content
Hi there! Very good presentation of iPad 's. ..but I noticed your smart watch and didn't recognise the brand? Hope you can inform me about the brand? That's if you read this?
Thanks for talking me out of this purchase.
I just got the iPad 9th gen for school and I love it. Honestly for just taking notes and doing the basics, nothing more than the basic iPad is needed. I do like the design of the 10th gen, but at that point just get the iPad Air 4th gen.
That's what I'm saying, it's basically an ipad air
But worse
Bought my iPad air about a year ago and yes it’s basically the same with this “new” iPad 😂
That's kinda lame, you aren't using the hardware to it's full potential.
@@keemo4647 like the “new” iPhone 14, It is basically an iPhone 13 Pro but worse!
I love how Apple come up with a "brand new design" even though it looks exactly like the Microsoft Surface 1 which was released 10 years ago (2012) and who had the same camera on top, the same 64go, the stand directly included on the device and a keyboard attachment and even had an usb port.
Agreed
Except I don't think there's ever a Surface that didn't take care of pen storage if it's supported.
64 go
I just realized how big Marques is by how he can stretch his one hand around the regular Ipad. I can barely do that with the mini Ipad.
Unless things have changed but the 1st gen apple pencil’s charging adapter came with my Apple Pencil when I got it just over 2 years ago
Biggest annoyance for me is the lack of a laminated display. What the heck?!
What does this mean ?
@@bensondentalassociates8690 there is a layer of glass in front of the screen. A laminated display has everything in one piece with no air gap.
@@iliyashapirov7720 Also it doesn't have coating, which makes the screen as reflective as a mirror.
If the display was laminated there would be almost no differences between this and iPad Air so they gotta leave some features out for the iPad Air so it makes sense to buy it
@@davidrzmv3052 Don't forget the non-laminated display is much cheaper to repair

Loved your insight on this!
I have a first gen apple pencil and I love it. It came with a lighting charging adapter so I charge it with a cord from the wall and not from the iPad. I prefer that to using the iPads battery to charge it magnetically
