Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and we're going to take a look at the 2020
ipad this is apple's least expensive ipad and
it got a couple small upgrades this year but it still
comes in at the 329 price tag now it starts at 329 it's
already on discount at places like amazon for about thirty
dollars off now it goes from 329 for 32 gigabytes of
storage up to 429 for 128 gigabytes of storage
now if you want cellular data you can get it tack on 130
extra now also it comes in three different colors
this is space gray you also get silver and gold
now let's go ahead and take a look at it now this is the 32 gigabyte model and
with wi-fi it's not the cellular version but this particular one like i said is
already being discounted on amazon so i'll provide those links in the
description so let's go ahead and open it up we'll
take the wrapper off here
let's open the box
and inside we have the ipad of course we'll set it aside now this is the space
gray model like i said so we'll set that aside let's see what
comes in the box now with the new apple watch this year
they got rid of the power adapter but we still have one in the box of this ipad
but i think it's different than what we had
in previous years so we'll take a look at that in just a moment
let's see what kind of documentation we have anything different
so it looks like we have some apple stickers in here they're stuck
there we go so we have apple stickers large apple stickers
and then a quick start guide that gives you an overview of how to use it
and then our little warranty card and safety information
so let's set that aside and inside this is not what i expected we have a
usbc to lightning cable so it looks like they're kind of standardizing this
and then we have a new power brick now this is the same sort of fast charging
brick that we get with an iphone 11 pro max
so you can see this is the new 20 watt power adapter
it's included in the box so that's pretty interesting i didn't expect that
so let's set this aside and take a closer look at the ipad let's take the
cover off of it here
and this is a nice space gray color and let's compare it to
the previous generation last year's model you can see they're basically the
exact same color in previous years they weren't
necessarily the same but they look pretty much the same as you can see here
now it's hard to tell them apart other than that i have the previous generation
on the left but nothing else has changed on the
outside with them now this particular device does have big
changes inside so internally we have apple's new a12
bionic cpu with the neural engine that's a huge
update for things such as photo processing in real time
and maybe editing videos so this can definitely handle it
now also the display hasn't changed either so let me go ahead and turn it on
and it's the 10.2 inch display that we had in the previous generation
with 2160 by 1620 pixels it has a pixel density of 264 pixels per
inch and then it goes up to 500 nits of
brightness has an oleophobic coating and it supports the first generation
apple pencil so i'll set this up in a moment but as
you can see along the outside edge it's very familiar looks like any other
ipad on the bottom we have our lightning port
along with stereo speakers on the right hand side we have volume
rockers so you can see here there's two volume
buttons on the top we have our power sleep wake button
we have a microphone and we still have a headphone jack
on the left hand side we have our pogo pin adapters or
our smart connector as apple calls it and then we have
touch id on the front so it should be pretty good we'll see if it's the second
generation now on the back we have the same camera
we have the 8 megapixel camera with an f 2.4 aperture
and it records up to 1080p 30 frames per second video
on the front we have a very not so great camera
it works basically for facetime calls and it's a 1.2 megapixel camera
that's really only good for those sort of calls internally we have
wi-fi 802.11 a b g n in ac there's no wi-fi six and battery life
should be about 10 hours just like we get with
everything else although this chipset inside the a12 bionic is more
efficient than the previous generations a10 fusion cpu so it should be pretty
nice they're basically identical in every way
externally from the previous generation but you get a much faster cpu so if we
flip this over here i'll just show you really quickly before
i set this up go to english we'll turn on the other
one and side by side you have the exact same displays
there's nothing new here basically everything is exactly the same
so you have a much faster cpu but everything else stays the same
now let's go ahead and set up touch id so i'll place my fingerprint on the
fingerprint sensor and it looks pretty fast usually the
first generation touch id was much slower so it seems to be
second generation or maybe even a newer version
there we go we'll go to the next one adjust the grip
move our fingerprint around and it works really well once it's set up so
if you've ever used the fingerprint sensor it's super nice and it's secure
on the chip apple doesn't share it outside of the device
so i'll wait for this to finish and then we'll take a closer look now
everything's set up i didn't transfer any data i just wanted to see what it
was like but let's take a look and see what
version os comes pre-installed with it so if i go to general
then about so you can see it comes pre-installed with ios 14.
and so if we go home let's take a closer look
so this particular device it does work with apple pencil like i said
but before we take a look at that the good thing is all the previous
generation accessories from the previous ipad that you could
buy last year will work with this ipad so for example
if you have this combi touch keyboard set up with a
trackpad it will work on this ipad so the case
will fit without a problem so let's put it in place so i can show
you
so you'll see it fits nicely around the outside edge no problem there
everything's in place and if we attach the keyboard
we'll get all the keyboard functionality with a trackpad if you want to buy this
accessory so we'll ignore that for now and you'll see
that i can use the trackpad to move around the screen you
can hit control or command space and you get
search so with this you get all the same keyboards and accessories that you can
use with previous generations so it's really nice that they've kept this the
same size and it works just fine so let's see if i
can remove this here and if you have a case that you used
with maybe last year's ipad maybe you want to pass it on to a family member
you can use that now to pair the apple pencil you just plug it in
now it's not compatible with the second generation apple pencil so let's go
ahead and plug this in it will pair it takes just a moment it
may need to charge as well so we'll give it just a moment to charge up
and we'll hit pair and we should be good to go
we should be able to use it now it says welcome to apple pencil
and it's telling us about the new features so now you get all the new
features of ipad os 14. now once you have an apple pencil paired
because we have all of the same modern updates as we get
with the ipad pro we can do the same sorts of things so if we go into notes
for example and i'll just write zolotek
i don't normally write like that but we'll write zolotek and if i press and
hold on it i can select it tap on my pencil options
change the color this is a new feature of ipad os 14 and
then again if i select it let's get rid of the
pencil options there if i select it i can move it around do whatever i want
with this text it's really intuitive and great to use so if
you've never used this before it's something that i think you'll
really appreciate with the new features but also you get all the benefits of the
higher end ipads minus a few features but because it has
the a12 bionic in it it's super fast you can edit 4k video with imovie you
can manipulate photos in real time using the editor it's just incredibly
intuitive and very very fast and you're not really
missing out other than having stereo speakers and a higher refresh rate on
your display otherwise you've got most of the
benefits of the pro device even with the accessories such as logitech keyboard so
that's it for the 2020 ipad now this device is something i recommend all
the time to people that don't have ipads even if you just need a computer around
the house and you need something that's a little less expensive
that you don't have to worry about it's what i would recommend to most people if
you've never tried an ipad and even if you have tried an ipad
if you have an older one maybe an ipad 2 or an ipad air the original one
it's still worth picking up it's a great value and it's even cheaper than the
original ipad at 329. the original was 4.99 so this is a great
value so again i highly recommend it and if
you do pick one up i'd love to hear from you in the comments below what did you
pick up did you get an ipad an ipad air ipad pro or maybe even an
older one let me know in the comments below if you
