Honest review, truthfully I have always been an apple supporter ever since the first iPhone. I have had many iPads and apple products and not once has any of them ever been a lemon. Their build quality is unmatched and the displays are always top notch when it comes to vibrance and clarity. The sound regardless of the environment that I am in is superb in every setting. The iPad Pro in this case is the best iPad I have purchased to date. Not writing this for the sweepstakes but on my own accord from last night. I was listening to music while installing a new head unit and backup camera on my vehicle and during the installation of the camera the tailgate closed right on top of my iPad and the only damage was the cheap glass protector for the screen. I saw spider cracks everywhere and yelled and cursed, finally after removing the protector I wiped my iPad down and it was unscathed. Not a scratch to the body, screen or anything. It's a heavy lift gate and this little guy said come at me bro, I got this and survived.
The screen is bright, great for drawing in procreate with the Apple Pencil 2. Great touch surface and smooth as always. The speakers seem mid from others of the brand but still spacious like my dads Galaxy Tab S6 with Atmos. Battery life is concerning when left on for videos, drains quickly so I keep a charger nearby, biggest complaint. Camera quality is great but I don't use it for that, still if I need to I won't have to worry about looking like a potato.
Overall, this is my daily in home driver for YouTube during car repairs, installations and streaming for music or videos. During lunch at work I'll turn it on and bluetooth sound for videos to watch. Lighter than I thought but still has a little weight from the frame which I believe saved its life during the lift gate encounter. 4/5 for me, 8.5/10 only for speaker quality seems to have been nerfed and the battery is subpar compared to my phone which last longer which is used more frequently throughout my normal day out. But I am an audiophile so I am picky when it comes to sound. Would I recommend? Yes if you have the budget. Yes if you have an apple setup to use if fully and yes if you have Apple TV + or an apple subscriber like me. Great for streaming xbox game pass and PS Remote play. Gamer life compatible.

Firstly, I am not a fan of Apple products on the whole. I first gave in and bought my last iPad because it was simply the only viable option for digital art on the go, and I liked to be able to draw during my lunch breaks at work. I wasn't expecting to get much more use than that, because in general I tend to quickly abandon Apple stuff. Well, it became so indispensable that when I somehow managed to dump an entire quart of water into my backpack and ruined it, I decided to treat myself and spend probably too much on this newer generation model. I was actually torn between this one and a previous model, but after some shipping issues and price comparisons I just went for broke. Almost literally, these things are expensive. But they're also worth every dollar, because besides a responsive drawing and writing experience, the video and audio are crisp and clear for late-night YouTube marathons and the larger screen turns the Kindle app into the perfect book. I also occasionally use Instagram on it because the video and audio are so clear. The picture also doesn't do it justice...I was cringing at the thought of having to buy a yellow iPad because that was the only color available at the time, but in reality, it's a beautiful metallic gold. Great camera, great audio, great picture quality, amazing battery life (as long as you turn off the wifi). I take it with me everywhere.

I am a tech user who only uses windows and android os. I used to have an iphone, but when I switched to Samsung it was way better and I never went back. I am saying this because the one thing I like about apple is their tablets. I never liked android based tablets because I feel that apps are usually not optimized well with them and even android os feels werid on their tablets as well. As for the device itself, it is a budget ipad that will get 90% of what people look for in tablets done. It has a low refresh rate compared to other models, as well as a lower quality screen but not bad enough to complain about. If you surf the web, use it for Netflix, and basic tablet functions it will be the best option for you. While the more expensive ipads are better in every way, they are for a very small percentage of people who expect high performance from a tablet. Apple still sells the 9th generation ipad, but I chose the 10th because of the bigger screen, smaller bezels, more speakers, and most importantly usb-c. I am not sure why Apple as a company has used lightning chargers for over 10 years now when better technology exists, but being 10 years late to the party is better than nothing I guess.... Lastly the pricing of ipads are very steep. If you are looking to get any ipad make sure to find them on sale or wait until a new version comes out to get the old one. Apple is known for this unfortunately.

I absolutely love this thing! It runs amazing with no lag or performance issues. The only thing I don’t like about is that my pencil will not connect and charge on the side of it, while yet, the apple Magic Keyboard and some other premium brand keyboards will. It just doesn’t make any sense. But other than that, I truly love it. There isn’t too much of a selection out there of keyboards or cases though, but that really has nothing to do with this. It also has extremely great looking graphics and sound. Not to mention that the tablet itself is very nice and clean looking! The blue color tone with just the right amount of sparkle and shine to it is just beautiful! While still seeming very durable thus far! Although, I would still obviously recommend a good case and screen protector for it though, you must always protect the assets!

Either way, it was ultimately a great purchase for both me and my oldest daughter that’s 5. She absolutely loves it and plays her games on it with no problems. For the price, you 100% cannot beat it. I am thankful I had an affordable option for a great tablet. If I could give an extra star I would! I would highly recommend it for just about any age group. It’s performance is just unbeatable at the price.
