2018 iPad 9.7 Review! Worth $329? #Helpful Post

hey guys I just got the 2018 iPad this

is the budget and 329 dollar version and

in this video I'd like to see how much

do you get for your mind what kind of a

value is this iPad comparing it to last

year's model and to the 10.5 inch iPad

pro so let's go ahead and take a look at

everything that's important when

considering a tablet from displays to

processors gaming even everything you'd

want to know before buying one now to

begin the cost-saving measures Apple

includes a 12 watt power adapter in the

box so if you want fast charging you're

gonna have to dish out a few more bucks

and get an actual capable power adapter

for it the iPad now comes in this new

gold finish aside from space grey and

silver and I do like it but Apple's

definition of gold seems to be changing

all the time now the shell is unchanged

from last year's version this is a

pretty typical iPad design comparing it

to the iPad pro it is thicker but it

does weigh the same at 1.05 pounds still

the dual speaker design on the bottom

the iPad pro has the quad speaker design

it's a bit smaller in form-factor but it

does look a lot older because of the

bezels are so much thicker so while the

design is unchanged you do get this very

nice gold finish now it looks absolutely

stunning in sunlights

and comparing it to Apple's other gold

colors I'm a bit confused which is the

real gold because apples definition of

gold I don't know questionable in any

case that is the design colors looks

really cool and moving on to the

displays I believe this is the biggest

weakness of this iPad first off

reflectivity as you can see it doesn't

have the special finish of the iPad pro

and it seems to reflect more sunlight

into your eyeballs also there's a depth

to it so the screen has an air gap in

between the LCD and digitizer and you

can definitely tell rotate the iPad on

its side and you can see this big fat

gap whereas the other one doesn't have

it and the iPad pros display seems so

much more advanced in comparison just

because the display is actually sitting

on top of the glass there's not a layer

in between it which is very distracting

when using this iPad like I can't unsee

it and the top of that the new iPad does

not have pro motion a 120 Hertz display

higher refresh rate it's definitely more

parents when there's motion on the

display it's so smooth so crisp

I recommend you guys go to an Apple

store to try it for yourselves it's

especially apparent when launching

applications or scrolling on a website

it is

so incredible and honestly I could never

go back to any other type of iPad

I wish Apple would bring this technology

to an iPhone so this is one of those big

things I think you guys should consider

when shopping around for an iPad if you

want to get an iPad pro or this cheaper

alternative and the new iPad does not

have true tone honestly this isn't a big

deal for me personally it's a nice thing

to have but I could totally live without

it it basically will not adjust to the

display to the color temperature of your

background using sensors like the iPad

pro does it's pretty cool I mean you

don't notice it unless you actually turn

it off which is a great thing about it

how well it works in the backgrounds but

I definitely think you can live without

it I also tested the Apple pencils and

the refresh rate drawing with it so I'm

happy to report that it's very

responsive I found it to be as

responsive as my iPad pro in fact I was

very impressed with just how good it was

I try to trick it's go very very fast

applying pressure all sorts of scenarios

and it was very very good so if you

wanted to buy one of these to draw on

I'd say it's a very good device to do it

on and moving on to gaming I did play

some fortnight occasionally the frame

rate would drop but that's most likely

to do with the optimization of the app

it is fairly new and still being

optimized I'd say it does a very good

job and it's a sweet spot for Apple when

it comes to price with what you get for

it's in terms of performance it's an

Apple a10 fusion quad-core with 2

gigabytes of RAM that is pretty

future-proof honestly this thing will do

very well even 3 4 years from now

because the a-10 is quite the beast and

I personally think a 329 dollars the

performance you get for it is really

amazing one of Apple's best values so

moving on to the geek bench I was

impressed to find that the single core

score was near that of the more

expensive iPad pro model and not too far

behind even the iPhone 10 so Wow the

multi-core score was just shy of 6,000

single core just a few hundred points

behind the iPad pro that is so dang

incredible GPU performance in antutu not

too far behind either but definitely a

bigger gap between these two here but

overall you're getting so much

performance for the money that is

incredible this thing really will be

future-proofed in my opinion and I did a

little experimentation with the UI

responsiveness going the homegoing into

the apps which are just playing around

with it and I found that in some cases

it's even more responsive than the 10.5

inch iPad which

I was a bit surprised to find and this

may or may not have anything to do with

the fact that this new iPad was built

exclusively on iOS eleven point three

which has a lot of performance

improvements but so with time maybe I

was 12 there could be more of a

distinction between these two and moving

on to the touch I detest that the new

iPad has the first generation touch at

each sensor the iPad pro at the seconds

and definitely apparent when testing

these especially when the screens are

off

definitely launches faster on the iPad

pro but the new iPad isn't far behind

even with that first generation sensor

and with the screen on even less of a

difference but do keep in mind that the

second gen has improved accuracy and

actually will read your fingerprint

better if it's sweaty or wet and of

course with this new iPad you're getting

less speakers two versus four of the

iPad pro not only are you getting less

speakers the two that you have aren't

quite as loud as two on the iPad pro

would even be so I got 90.1 decibels and

then using the same method on the iPad

pro much louder much more bass here it's

seriously impressive just how good the

speakers are on the iPad pro and the new

iPad camera remains at 8 megapixels

still not capable of 4k video in fact I

don't think there is any change at all

from last year's model so the new iPad

is

on the left it's not capable of 4k

sockets

detail I'm noticing that it's not a

stable so some sort of digital

stabilization that

woman it very well where does

colors look a little richer on the iPad

it's the same camera as the old one so

if you were expecting any changes here

the NS pretty much the same here

better quality

I wanted to throw a front-facing camera

one in here as well so not as much

difference on this one both pretty much

the same

yeah so front-facing still pretty much

the same camera as will also all find

any differences there and there it is

Apple's new $329 model iPad I'd say it's

definitely a fantastic value and if you

wanted an iPad but didn't want to spend

a lot of money and still get a good

value this is an amazing iPad just for

that reason so thanks for watching guys

hope you enjoyed it peace
