Apple’s new iPad and other iOS tablets have many advantages. Not only are they great for media consumption, but they’re also capable of creating music, movies, and books. Apple offers a suite of office applications that include iMovie and Garage Band, and a growing number of third-party applications are adding substance to the app store. Here are some reasons to consider buying an iPad or other iOS tablet:
Apple’s iPad
The iPad looks like a large iPhone or iPod Touch. Its 9.7-inch LCD touch screen display is the same multitouch technology as the iPhone and iPod, as well as notebook trackpads. It also uses the same in-plane switching display technology found in iMacs. While it looks simple and easy to use, it is not without its flaws. This article explores some of the major differences between the iPhone and iPad.
Apple Pencil
Before purchasing an Apple Pencil, you should first check the model of your iPad. This information is located in the Settings app, under the General menu. Look for “About.” Then, compare the model name with the list below to make sure it matches the model of your iPad. Then, you can begin shopping for an Apple Pencil. If you’re still unsure, you can always check out some third-party styluses that are designed for iOS tablets.
Apple’s A13 Bionic processor
The new iPad is expected to ship with an A13 Bionic processor, which promises 20 percent faster performance over its predecessor. The chip has six cores, including the high-performance Lightning and power-efficient Thunder cores. It is fabricated in 7-nanometer technology, making it a power-efficient processor with lower heat output. If you’ve been waiting for the next big thing in iPad performance, the new iPad will be here soon.
Apple’s 2-in-1 capabilities
If the iPad is the next big thing in tablet computing, then it’s not surprising to see Apple introducing a 2-in-1 tablet that combines the tablet with a keyboard. Apple, however, hasn’t announced a 2-in-1 device itself, but is stepping up its efforts to integrate the iOS and Mac OS. A wireless Bluetooth keyboard for the iPad is already available, and the iPad’s screen can also be turned into a laptop if necessary.
Apple’s iPad Air 5
If you are looking for a new tablet, then Apple’s iPad Air 5 is the tablet to buy. This model features a 12-megapixel front-facing FaceTime camera and an f/1.8 rear camera. It also includes stereo speakers when you use the iPad in landscape mode. But, one of the biggest drawbacks to the Air is that it lacks both a Lightning and USB-C port. Luckily, you can use the new tablet’s USB-C port to connect a hard drive or a camera, or even a 4K external monitor. A 20-watt USB-C adapter is included in the package, making it a great option for charging an iPad Air 5 or other devices.
Amazon’s Fire 7
The fast quad-core processor in Amazon’s Fire 7 for iOS tablets delivers exceptional performance and overall battery life. The tablet features four 1.3 GHz cores for great overall performance. The tablet’s battery life is good, too, with up to seven hours of mixed use. With all this power, it’s easy to see why this tablet is one of the top choices among iOS tablets. But is it worth the price?
Samsung Galaxy tablets
If you’re looking for a tablet that runs the latest versions of iOS and Android, you may be considering the new Samsung Galaxy tablets for iOS. These devices are available for purchase outright or as part of a plan with one of the big three telcos. This way, you can spread the cost of the tablet over a number of months and pay it off over time. The plans also include additional fees for a 4G data SIM and data allowance, but these plans are only available for cellular-enabled models.
