Framing the 1st gen pencil as "from the Obama era" got a good laugh out of me. Really puts into perspective what's going on with this Apple pencil debacle.

So I bought my parents a 9th gen iPad about a week before they announced the 10th gen. My first reaction was "I knew they would release a new one as soon as I bought this", but then I saw basically everything in this video and was glad I'd just gotten the 9th gen on sale as there was nothing about the 10th gen that would offer my parents a better experience for the price

A friend of mine was waiting for this one, told him to get the 9th gen. And good he did that, because when new iPad came out in my country (in eu) every older model got a nice price hike too, so in the end he saved around 80 euro on getting the 9th gen one before 10th gen came out. I like Apple a lot as a company, but with their current Euro pricing I start to wonder if my next phone will be a iPhone too after years, luckily I never imprisoned myself into their eco system too much, Apple Watch aside.

What scared me was when I was in an apple store and I saw someone (who, coincidentally, said she loved everything apple) talking to a store assistant about buying the 10th gen ipad, commenting on the colours and how nice it looked. I didn't hear a single comment about value, utility or comparisons to the other models. The average consumer doesn't understand all the intricate details that make one apple product worth it and another not, and will just keep buying whatever apple puts on the shelf, doubly so if it comes with nice colours.

This is not the latest Apple iPad, but it is faster than I thought. It has a great screen and it holds a charge pretty well kzread.infoUgkxhcEDB3r-OJ3_X5hQzr7k1ZofTQy1ao_U . I was concerned that it would not be powerful enough because I have several older iPads that are slow and cannot update to the latest software. But this 10th Gen has the speed and power. I do not use it for video editing, so having an M2 processor is not necessary for me. This iPad model has an A14 processor. So far so good. Glad I bought it. It helps having a larger screen compared to my Apple phone.

The 10th gen is an awkward middle child in my eyes - I have the 9th gen as it does everything I need it to and I'm not concerned about the extra wide bezels or its weaker chip, but if I wanted something better, I'd go with the Air because it lacks the compromises of the 10th gen. I think it's just a stepping stone to push a new product and make the others seem better in comparison.

Same! I have the same iPad and it is working great!

I got this model for zoom calls, a bit of writing, netflix and reading comic books. I do enjoy the detachable keyboard and am pretty happy with it overall. If XDR came to the smaller pro models in the future I would consider upgrading.

Wait, did Apple oversaturate the Apple market with their own device causing fragmentation? This is just hilarious! I do hope that they figure it out soon though.

Definitely a step back with using the first gen Apple Pencil, it then leans you into the old practices of using that pencil, like making sure it’s always charged.

So I have to say, I would agree that Apple seems to be cutting corners on some thing and then forgetting on others. I ended up going with the iPad Air 2022 with the M1 Chip. Gives me a lot more time before upgrading and can get through games and other processing so quickly. I ended up getting the Logitech Combo Case for it, which gave me a great keyboard (with function keys), a trackpad (which I found i used a lot more) and protects my iPad. Plus I could just keep using the Logitech Crayon I had previously on my basic iPad previously. Which is still funny that Apple doesn’t say that that the Crayon (Which requires no connection to “Pair” it like the original Pencil did), DOES still work on these devices. I don’t get all the features of the Pencil, but it’s so much more durable and lets me make notes and even basic drawing as well. “Hello Freeform, you’re so much more useful to make notes with this Crayon!”

I love the production quality of Mac Address videos. You’re all doing a great job. Keep it up.

It's a good review, well put together visually and mostly good audio, I think you guys put together a nice informative video here. It's just a shame it's 2 months late as most of the people who would buy the lowest tier ipad and would benefit from the information here already bought one for the holiday season. But it's still a good thing at any time to point out that the cheapest version of something often isn't worth it's price, and most of the features people really want to use are on the mid tier options instead (ie. the air in this case)

Man your videos are so enjoyable! I really like the aesthetic, the background music, the entire vibe. The voice over is crisp, audio levels are well monitored.Just wish you uploaded more videos. You're a great presenter and make some great points as well. Edit: off topic, im still using my iPad Pro 12.9 from 2018. Still great for notes, media consumption and everyday tasks. Really don't see any reason to upgrade, let alone buy this weird base one.

Had to upgrade my old base model iPad from 2017. Loved that thing, But it slowly lacked more and more features I wanted. Went all out on the iPad Pro this time. Sadly I waited till the M2, hoping a mini LED screen would come to the 11 inch. So not thrilled I didn’t get many new features for the price. However I do love the iPad, and bought the Apple Magic Keyboard to go with it, as well as the Pencil. The keyboard is over priced, But really adds a lot to the iPad experience. Just sucks no function keys. And I also fell in love with the pencil. Didn’t think I’d ever use it. But I do all the time. Unless you need that tablet mobility or touchscreen / pencil, The MacBook Air is cheaper than my full setup (MSRP), and far more features.

I bought a 9th gen iPad last year and I love it. At $329 (cheaper after applying a few Best Buy rewards coupons) I figured it was a good 1st iOS device for someone coming from android. The design might be a bit dated, but with a screen that size I really don't mind the "forehead" and "chin" bezels. Plus I liked that it has a home button. My only complaint would be the speakers, and even that doesn't really bother me since I use airpods most of the time anyway. It's a really good "I woke up early on a Saturday/Sunday and I want to watch a youtube video in bed until I fall back asleep" device.

Perfectly summed up. I'm still thinking about buying an iPad, but now I'm holding off to see if they fix the lower end model next go around.

One benefit of the non-laminated display is that it's less costly to replace in case of a break since there's less a chance it's broken through to the touch sensor and actual display parts and it's just the glass on top.

While, I have seen a lot of other You Tube reviews about Apple's new basic iPad 10th generation. As always, yours was truly special and a joy to watch. For the past several years, I have only been recommending users buy either an iPad Air or the basic iPad 9th generation. The day the iPad 10th generation was introduced, I went home and ordered on Apple's Veteran web site (saving 10 percent on the price) a maxed out version of the iPad 9th generation with 256GB of memory and the cell data option. Why? Because, it is an excellent replacement for my older basic iPad 6th generation, it still has a home button, a headphone jack, supports Apple's "center stage" function, works with my already owned 1st generation pencil, and operates perfectly with all of my lighting adapters. In addition, as for as Apple's new iPad 10th generation "Keyboard Folio" this week, I just received my Logitech Combo Touch which, I prefer and its keyboard has special function keys plus they are also "back lit" for working in low light (smile ... smile).

You explain this well, seems to be about 2 months late but still well done.

I'm still clinging to my 6th gen iPad entry level. The battery's charge doesn't last quite as long as it used to. It was looking to upgrade when the 10th gen came out but I was unimpressed with the new value proposition. I expect I'll end up with a refurbished Air but haven't quite talked myself into pulling the trigger.

3:13 THANK YOU!!! As someone who used to sell them, it frustrates me when reviews conveniently leave out the coupler when talking about the pencil!

It is a great choice if you come from Gen 7 or older. You don’t have to buy a new pencil so the price increase doesn’t really count for you. You get a massive boost in performance with its SoC, double the storage, bigger screen, double ram, a new design, gorgeous colours, an outstanding front facing camera, a better rear camera and more. If all these don’t sound like a good deal, I don’t know what does.

But after more investigation, it turned out to be the power plug itself and not the iPad at all. There's many years left in my wifes iPad yet 😁

I hate the ipad situation. I got the M1 12.9 and I feel like it doesn't do anything. Or rather it CANT do anything, as there isn't any software that are killer apps.

What do you use your ipad for though?

What exactly do you expect it to do? Or perhaps a more appropriate question: Why did you buy a device without having a use for it?

2:43 5 seconds of charging really gives you 15 minutes of use?

iPads have been going downhill… But I still bought the iPad Air 5

They haven't been going downhill, they've been stagnating... until iPadOS 16 came out in June 2022, which made it *better*. When the iPad Pro gets the horizontally placed camera and fn keys, I think we'll see a lot of KZreadrs revert back to the idea of the iPad being a computer replacement again.

@@utubekullanicisi ipados 16 is a step in the right direction, they still need to improve stage manager. I am actually using an external monitor right now!

They could’ve make the 2nd gen pencil connector on the left side since the speaker doesn’t take up the whole length.

The only reason i think they have the dongle for the apple pencil is just to manipulate people into thinking how much of a hassle it would be to switch on to usb-c. Thats they only the first gen pencil is supported and why the base ipad now got usb-c.

why buy apple in the first place?

500k Subs Congrats

I was considering about buying the 10th Gen but thankfully I saw your video, now I might look at the older iPad 9th Gen or the old iPad Air then. Thanks!

I currently have the 8th gen IPad with Apple Pencil which I got 2 years back! I got it as my first iPad and to start art now as I have grown with my art the iPad is not capable enough I was excited for the iPad Pro but it is not a major upgrade from last year ! And I was excited on seeing the 10th gen but as I got to know more about it it didn’t make sense ! It’s doesn’t have a proper place in apples lineup

I'm so glad I got the 9th generation instead of a 10th! I thought I might've chosen wrong, but seeing this as an artist, I'm glad I went with the 9th one... this was my first ever apple product and i spent days making cons and pros over the two, yet no website mentioned the changes shown in this video 😓

When I heard LTT mention in ad section, I thought "wait, what LTT is doing on MKHBD channel?" and then I got it)

Camera placement has never been an issue. Most of the “video” meetings we are audio only.

I have the 2017 ipad pro 12.9, but the touch screen is bad and the touch function just stops working a lot so I have to keep tapping the screen until it starts working again

I was really hoping that the iPad 10 would get Apple Pencil 2 support and laminated display to save me some money, but it looks like I’ll have to go for the one of the air or pro models, but probably the 12.9” pro as I can use it as a note taking device and laptop when needed. I may not need the power of the M2 chip, but the larger surface area is appreciated

i rlly recommend you to go and watch 11 and 12.9 inch by yourself irl and compare them, if u have so opportunity, as i was quite surprised with the surface area of mine 9th gen, if is rlly enough to make any notes, even with the split view 🙂

For as fragmented as Android is, at least all OEMs for all Google OSs use the same USB-C connector for charging.

I use the pencil a lot between journaling and D&D note taking. I'm fine with my older 2019 iPad Air, but if I was in the market for something to replace it with, it would *not* be this one.

I respect the openness! Such awesome reporting!

Thank you thank you thank you. I expect alot........... of people didn't know about compatibility issues.

I still use and feel no need to upgrade my 2018 iPad Pro? First iPad to do second gen pencil, idk what year it is

The usb c Pencil pretty much fixes the Pencil problem. You still need a cable but you don’t need dongles and you can use the cable that came with the iPad. It even magnetically attaches to the side of the iPad! However, there is no pressure sensitivity.

Funny timing with this video. I just ordered a refurbished 4th gen air yesterday. I really didnt want to spend a whole lot on a replacement for my aging mini 4 but couldnt bring myself to cheap out on a 9th gen and the 10th gen just didnt seem worth the extra cost.

Small correction, Magic Keyboard came in 2020, it was Smart Folio in 2018

The old house used for the shooting is gorgeous.

I charge my Apple Pencil gen 1 with the iPad charger and cable that came in box; as my gen 1 Apple Pencil came w/ a dongle to adapt to the lightning charging cable. Imo, so much easier and quicker to plug Pencil into wall charger to fully charge my Apple Pencil in “about” 25 mins or so; and doesn’t look “weird” sticking out of charge port of my iPad either. Want to know of charged when in wall charger dongle, not an issue as iPad keeps track of Pencil battery even when your 25 ft away in garage and Pencil is charging in my room on nightstand plugged into my wall. Have never charged gen 1 Pencil any other way; why else did the Apple Pencil Gen 1 come w/ the lightning cable charging adapter dongle in the Apple Pencil box, b/c they figured you’d charge it in the wall charger from the iPad charger and cable that iPad came with, and like said, also takes half the time to charge or even less w/ wall charger then using iPad charge port (least from my experience over the years). Sadly, have just now noticed that my gen 1 pencil has started to have battery issues. Pencil released in 11/2015 and I got Xmas of 2016 w/ my first ever iPad, awesome. But not after it’s fully charged I’m getting 60% as my “full charge “, instead of the 100% it’s supposed to be. That said it’s a 8 year old device and IS ACTUALLY GREAT for the age. If only I still had AppleCare on it, would be easy and cheap” fix. But apple didn’t offer monthly AppleCare subscriptions back than, fyi, a new service THATS WLRTH IT AND SO SO AWESOME!. Highly recommend over the norm standard 2 year AppleCare. Cheers✌🏻

I went to BestBuy with no intention of buying an iPad. Left with a ten generation. Took it back a couple days later to get the air with a gen 2 apple pencil. One of my favorite tech purchases this year.

I bought a refurbished iPad Pro 2021 for 700€ and I think it was an amazing choice. I was going to go for the 2018 version but I was a little scared how long it will still be supported. Also it was not more than 50€ more.

If that's Horst's house, I absolutely love his aesthetic. If it's not, I love whoever's aesthetic that is. So nice and warm.

It's not that I don’t use my Apple Pencil, I just barely use it but I still use it. Still handy to take a screenshot and doodle (or sign documents) on it every now and again. Just like how I used my old Samsung Galaxy Note 4 before I got my iPad. I've tried to draw with it, but I found that the gestures (double tap to..., two finger taps to..., etc) are not as natural than the pencil on a screen thing. Was looking forward to buy a newly released non-pro/air iPad. But then they made these half-assed changes that somehow madef me think to get a gen-9 iPad with big storage instead.

Idk if this happened everywhere or just where I live but at the time the iPad 10 was released, the price of the 5th gen iPad Air was increased by 100€.

Does the USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter work to connect lighting earpods to an iPad or Mac?

My first iPad was the 9th gen and I love it! I ended up giving it to my son - but I now have the iPad Air 5th gen which I like! But I think the storage at base model is way to low. My old iPad had way more space but I wasnt trying to spend more money. These iPad 10 gens are weird man

That surprise are the end, I’m not sure if that was a channel super fun idea.

I have a year old 9th gen iPad. It's still a fantastic device and does everything I need it to do. However, I would like to have a bigger screen and USB C is a really nice thing to have so I’m considering a refurb. They’re some good options out there.

Yes, please go for the iPad Air.

Love my 9th gen iPad. It's perfect for me to use while teaching my classes and does everything I need it to phenomenally. I just couldn't justify even paying for a refurbished as none even touched the 9th gen in price for the performance I need.

I love last year's MacBook Air + Apple Pencil 2. That's my sweet spot.

I went for the 11" iPad Pro with 2nd Gen Pencil of School because of the features of that iPad. I use the pencil every single day. I personally could not go to an iPad like that 10th gen iPad

after looking at Ipads for the last year, i found myself wanting a little more. I'm an artist and need a good pen tablet but i'm also a 3d modeler and coder, i want to run full desktop apps, so i bought a Samsung Galaxy Book 360 for the same price as a macbook air. It has an 12th gen i7, it has an up-gradable ssd, an Oled display, it has better I/O, it runs windows so i can run any program i want, and samsung licenses Wacom's pen technology which means i can use a wacom one stylus and it draws just as well if not better then the Ipad pro. I would have bought an M2 Ipad pro if it could run software meant for Mac OS but it can't. Since i went with the galaxy book, in a few months when i upgrade from my Iphone 13 pro i will be switching to a samsung...
