Valorantt Valorant Player With Extra Info
so um Apple has just released some press
releases with some new iPads and uh I’m
honestly shocked I’m shocked because
Apple has never screwed their customers
more than now like if you’re on Twitter
you probably know what I’m talking about
these new iPads are just well you’ll
find out there’s basically two iPads so
there’s a tension and the iPad Pro and I
want to start off with a TENS gen so on
the surface it looks great it has an
iPad Air like design without that home
button that was leaked in the cad model
so the design is actually better than
what we were expecting the bezels are
slightly thicker than on the iPad Air
but aside from that it has the same
screen size it comes in four beautiful
colors it comes with a 5G USB type c the
Apple A14 chip even the front camera is
now in landscape orientation which is
much better for calls when you have the
keyboard connected so this is basically
an iPad Air at this point so yeah it
looks like a massive and an amazing
upgrade but once you dig deeper you
realize how badly apple is screwing all
of us over the first reason being the
price so everyone was expecting to see a
price increase with its new iPad but
it’s way worse than everyone was
expecting so in the US it goes up from
329 dollars to 449. that’s a 120 dollar
price increase but outside of the US in
the UK for example it is even worse so
it got bombed from 319 pounds to 4.99
that’s a 180 pound price increase not
only that but the iPad Air used to start
from 569 dollars uh well um not anymore
because Apple priced the same iPad Air
at
669 pounds now so it’s essentially 100
pounds more in the UK compared to what
it used to be just a few days ago and
this is the same iPad air without any
upgrades so Apple bump pretty much all
the prices outside the US quite
significantly the iPad Mini for example
uh is now 569 pounds from 479 so that’s
90 pounds more in the UK again for the
exact same model without any changes but
I think the worst thing yet is that the
old 9th gen iPad is still around so
Apple has not discontinued that and in
fact it is even more expensive than it
used to be from 319 to
369 pounds so that is 50 pounds more
than it used to cost of course the
British pound went down significantly
when compared to the dollar because of
what’s happening in the world right now
uh as same for the Euro but the thing is
Apple only increased the iPad prices not
the max or the iPhones or anything else
at least for now and these price
increases are way more significant than
what they should have been the second
way in which apple is screwing us over
with this new iPad is the display which
is still not laminated Apple literally
went out of their way to manufacture an
iPad Airs display that is not laminated
Apple launched their first laminated
display iPad in 2014 with the iPad Air 2
and right now there is not a single
major company that makes non-laminated
tablets aside from Apple so you would
always have this huge air gap between
the display and the glass that sits on
top what is even worse is that there is
no anti-reflective coating at all so
this screen is basically like a mirror
it’s very very reflective and it also
relax the P3 color gamut so it is very
likely that Apple simply tweaked the
color profile on the iPad Airs display
to make it worse and included into this
iPad the third way in which apple is
screwing us over with his new iPad is
the keyboard so before with the 9th gen
you could buy the smart keyboard for 159
dollars now you cannot buy that anymore
because they of course change the design
of it so they launched the magic
keyboard folio this is the only option
for this new 10gen iPad and it costs
249 dollars outrageous if you want to
buy like a used iPad pro magic keyboard
like I said that’s not supported so you
need to buy this specific one to be able
to have a magic keyboard and then number
four this is definitely the worst the
apple pencil so you would assume that
with this new flat design Apple would
introduce support for the second gen
apple pencil right well no only the
first gen is supported but okay this new
iPad now has a USBC Port so they
obviously updated that lightning port on
the apple pencil uh to USB type c right
no the friction apple pencil still comes
with a lighting Port so instead Apple
made an adapter for it this comes in the
box of every new apple pencil purchase
or nine dollars if you want to buy it
separately if you already own an apple
pencil like the crazy thing here is that
it was likely way more expensive for
Apple to design a new adapter plus box
plus ship it then simply update the port
on the current apple pencil let’s do a
USB type-c instead of lightning and
honestly that adapter it looks like it
was designed by Apple intentionally to
make it the worst possible adapter ever
it doesn’t even plug directly into your
iPad as it doesn’t have a male USB
type-c connector it’s female to female
so you need to use a USB type-c cable
from the iPad to the adapter or the
power brick and then plug the apple
pencil on the other end and to top it
all off this apple pencil is of course
more expensive than before outside of
the US so in the UK from 89 pounds it is
now 109. so 20 dollar pound increase for
a 2015 product yes the apple pencil
first gen is a seven year old product
fun fact and the fifth way in which
apple is screwing us over with this new
iPad is uh in terms of the cases so
since it doesn’t have the same thickness
as an iPad Air it is considerably
thicker 6.1 millimeters compared to
seven on this new iPad you cannot use an
iPad Air case not only that but
obviously these new cases are more
expensive than they used to be so before
you could buy a case for 49 pounds now
the smart folio costs 89 pounds which is
even more than what it used to cost for
the iPad Pro which was 79. this is so
bad but wait it gets even worse with the
iPad Pro so the good news is that we get
the empty chip and an apple pencil hover
feature which is basically the same as
you know on a Galaxy Note phone but
that’s pretty much it now in terms of
the bad news uh the first one is that we
don’t have any design changes there’s no
redesign like Mark German was saying so
he was actually wrong here unfortunately
we don’t have any wireless charging no
glass back or glass Apple logo so yeah
no redesign at all this is the exact
same design from back in 2018. then the
second way in which apple is screwing us
over with this new iPad Pro is the price
so uh yeah this new iPad Pro is also
more expensive considerably from 749
pounds in UK to 900 pounds so that is a
100 pound increase over the previous
model for just that M2 Chip that number
three the front-facing camera does not
have a landscape orientation like it
does on the new 10th gen iPad like I
said this is awesome for calls when you
have the keyboard connected but the
thing is the iPad Pro is supposed to be
a pro device so you would obviously use
the keyboard and the trackpad more often
and have it in that landscape
orientation unlike the base iPad but the
camera orientation is the same as before
so in calls it would always look very
very off number four is that the magic
keyboard has not been updated and here’s
the thing when Apple introduced the
magic keyboard folio for this new
tangent iPad they also added function
keys to it which was awesome like this
is something that everyone was asking
for and they look the same as on the Mac
so we have brightness controls Mission
Control search Siri do not disturb and
media controls but the iPad Pro’s magic
keyboard which fun fact is even more
expensive than before now it doesn’t
have any changes it doesn’t have any
function keys it’s still the same design
and number five we actually have worse
connectivity on this iPad Pro than we
had on the previous model so the gs7
edge bands have been dropped entirely
which means that in areas where you have
a poor signal you would basically have
no signal at all now and interesting
enough even though they did add Wi-Fi 6E
there’s no support for the six gigahertz
band which is what Wi-Fi 6 is for
so is it just Wi-Fi 6E
in terms of the name
what so yeah overall the iPads are more
expensive we have downgrades in a lot of
cases and the entry level iPad is a
horrible Choice it has the iPad Airs
price but it doesn’t have a laminated
display the apple pencil requires a
dongle and a cable to charge and pair
yeah it’s uh it’s really really bad I
don’t think the iPad lineup has ever
been worse but let me know in the
comments what do you guys think I’m
Daniel this means enough that I can all
see you guys in the next one is that
effect signing out cheers
