NEW 2019 $329 Entry-Level Apple 10.2" iPad (7th Generation) / Unboxing & Review By TheJuan&Only

Welcome back so glad to see all your beautiful faces back on my channel I'm your host, the one, and only we just keep chugging along with these reviews, because if Apple hosts their occasional October event, then that means I'll once again have so much to review. I do apologize in advance. If my voice does sound a bit weird I think I'm developing something like strapped I, don't know I hope not well anyway. Potentially rumors suggest we have new 16-inch, MacBook, Pros, new Apple, tile, new air pods, three new Apple TV, the new Mac Pro, and so, so much more, but that won't be until possibly later this month today, we're going to take a look at what I consider to be one of Apple's best value products, the new iPad 7th generation. However, I will voice my criticism quite heavily here. As many of you may know, I love Apple, but man.

They have been lacking so much in innovating and are resorting to really lackluster upgrades. You'll, see what I mean Before we jump into the unboxing. My 10,000 subscriber giveaways is about halfway done. You can win a brand-new Apple Watch. Series 5 to find out how you can enter make sure to subscribe right now with Bell notifications.

So you don't miss any of my future videos and stick around until the end of this video for more information on the giveaway all right. Let's get it now going over a quick unboxing. You have a picture of your device in profile here. I got the silver version, but you can also pick it up in the newer bronze, your gold and, if you would like to want to have black bezels instead of the white ones, your only option to do so is to pick it up. In space gray, we have iPad branding flanking both sides with the Apple logo on the top and bottom on the back.

We have our storage capacity as well as an indication whether you picked up the Wi-Fi model or the cellular version, as well as your capacity. We have no tab to assist us with this unboxing. So sadly, I had to bring this meat Impaled thing to assist open up your box ever so slowly and let the suspense build, and you'll see your brand-new iPad wrapped in this glossy protective plastic. We'll set that off to the side for now and see what other goodies we get inside. We see we have our literature packet here, complete with your Quick Start, Guide, warranty, information and, of course, the absolute most important part of every Apple unboxing, the Apple stickers.

So this marks, maybe my one hundred and fiftieth pair of Apple stickers. Additionally, inside we have our lightning to USB, cable and thankfully, our larger 12 watt power adapter used to charge our new shiny device. Now going back to the iPad. Just take the film protecting your device, while in transit and hold the power button for a good three seconds for your Apple logo to appear, so you can set it up. So this iPad is the cheapest offering on Apple's iPad line coming in at three hundred and twenty-nine dollars, and also $2.99 for educational institutions, in your choice of thirty-two gigabytes or for an extra 100 or so dollars. You can get this in 128 gigs, which I would highly recommend if using this iPad for school and never ceases to amaze me that Apple is still putting a measly 32 gigabytes of memory on their devices, especially telling them as laptop replacements, but even $300 for schools is still kind of pricey, especially when having to buy 20 or 25 plus for entire classrooms.

Design-Wise. The new iPad is exactly identical to the previous generation, with the only real major change being the new bigger 10.2-inch screen as compared to the older 9.7-inch screen. You'll see here at the bottom. We have our speaker holes and in the middle we have our lightning connector on the left of the device is where we'll begin to notice. Another change.

We have our three dots here, which is used as a smart connection between the iPad and the optional rather expensive, smart keyboard that comes in at a whopping, 100 and fifty-nine dollars and can be used in conjunction with both the new seventh gen iPad and the new iPad Air that was recently released earlier this year and both devices now more or less carry the same dimensions to their chassis. On the top. We still have our 3.5 millimeter headphone jack, which must take hello courage to still have it there. I don't understand Apple. What is it that you want? You have the headphone jack on some of your devices, but exclude it from others.

Just make up your mind, I'm not complaining having the 3.5 millimeter jack on this iPad is a huge plus for sure towards the middle. We have a little microphone and to the right of that our sleep/wake button on the right. You have your volume up and down, and if you have the cellular version, you would have your SIM tray situated near the bottom. On the right hand, side flipping the device over, and you'll have your polished, Apple logo with iPad branding at the bottom and unchanged is our 8 megapixel F 2.4 lens with no flash to be found, and you can record video at 1080p at 30 frames per second flipping it to the front, and we have our eggplant quality, 1.2 megapixel, FaceTime, HD camera, which works I, guess, but should never be used for any serious selfie game at the bottom. We have our touch ID sensor, which is just that snappy and responsive as we've come to expect, but is the first generation sensor and not the ultra-fast, 2nd gen sensor that was found on the likes of the older iPhone 8 again, where we do have a slight changes in the display and I want to talk about this display for a bit Abel enlarge the display from 9.7 inches to 10.2, but kept the same horrendous bezels like Apple dude. This is not what we expect when we hear rumors of a bigger display, I thought the new iPad would retain the same footprint and enlarge the screen to create smaller bezels, similar to how they did it with the iPad pros.

When they first came out, they slimmed down the bezels, kept the same footprint and dimensions and made the iPad pros into the sexy beast. They were destined to be, but Apple once again disappoints and just enlarge the screen and kept the same bezels while changing up the footprint too. Now, basically, B iPad Air size like this doesn't make any sense sure the extra screen real estate is nice, but not what we were expecting. The newer 10-point NNI's display has a screen resolution of 2160 by 1620 at 264 pixels per inch and a max brightness of 500 nits. It has a fingerprint-resistant oleo phobic coating, but what once again is a big bummer is that this screen is not fully laminated to the glass when you look at it from and you'll encounter.

This noticeable air gap, which really does bug me so now, when you press on something it feels like it's deeper within the display and well that's because it is even using the Apple Pencil on this seems weird because you don't have the satisfaction of feeling like you're, writing right on the glass. It's like there's a barrier between the pencil and glass, it's weird and hard to explain. But next time you go into an Apple Store. Take a look at it for yourself. The iPad is a big annoys to me and also makes this iPad harder to use in outside scenarios where there's plenty of light because of that glare and display technology, but I guess for 329 dollars and what is considered to be the budget iPad.

We shouldn't expect the best technology, but at least having that display laminated will make an enormous difference on this entry-level iPad. The other biggest change is the addition of the smart connector, which allows you to use a smart keyboard and is typically advertised by Apple as being your laptop replacement, especially with all the new features of iPadOS, which makes the iPads truly in a category of their own right and is about damn time before the iPad would always be ridiculed as just being a bigger iPod, because that's essentially what it was. It used to run iOS just like the iPhones and iPods, but now, thanks to iPadOS, you can really consider using this as your computer. The smart Keyboard is a total ripoff and tremendously overpriced, but if you do it like to get it you'll be very pleased with the experience. The smart connector does add a lot of value and substance to your everyday usage, but wouldn't it be amazing if Apple threw it in the box at purchase, like Who am I kidding.

This is Apple. We're talking about. What's good I'll, be also confusing is that this iPad is still compatible with the first generation Apple Pencil, not the second one that charges magnetically on the side. This means you must charge it in the same old, idiotic fashion that is just asking to be either broken or accidentally pushed off a surface and come crashing to the floor. The Apple Pencil works just as you'd expect with very little latency and is perfect for school and note-taking, but just like the smart Keyboard, it is obviously sold separately and comes in at $99.

So really, if you wanted to get the entire set up, I'm talking I pad keyboard and pencil you're, looking at close to $600 and treads pretty close to passable notebook or laptop territory. It is rather sad to call this an upgrade, because we really only get a few extra inches of screen and the smart connector, because internally we have the exact same chipset and pow from the older model. We retained the 810 fusion ship, not even getting a slight spec bump to say in an 11 I get it. This is the cheapest iPad. So we don't expect to see the behemoth, 813 buyers, on a chip in action, but a nicer, an 11 upgrade would have been really nice.

The battery is likely slightly larger, but officially the battery life is rated at the same as the 9.7 predecessor being rated at 10 hours, while surfing the web on Wi-Fi and while retaining the same cameras as before you get the usual picture. Quality you've come to expect from an iPad, not the best, but surely does get the job done so really, while having no other advantages other than a little over a half an inch of extra screen. There's absolutely no reason to upgrade from the older 6 gen9 point: seven-inch iPad you'd be very silly and throwing money away. By doing so, however, if purchasing an iPad for the first time or wanting a more portable option to carry around school with or without the smart Keyboard, the entry-level iPad is a phenomenal option. The implementation of iPadOS makes this iPad blossom into its own kind of monster and makes for a fantastic value and a great introduction into other branches of the Apple family.

Just remember that we shouldn't take these kinds of upgrades by Apple, as it just comes off as extremely lazy from such a huge company and is quite embarrassing to still feature the same chipset. The iPhone 7 has a phone that was released three years ago. Despite the criticism like I said it's a great offering for those who have never purchased an iPad before or for those who still have antiquated iPads like the iPad, 3 or 4.
