Review on 10.2" Apple iPad (2020), 32 GB, Wi-Fi, Gold by Wiktor Jakuta ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like it, thank you for the quality product.

So, let's start with the fact that all the shortcomings described are outright overlapped by the merits. * And if you need a device that will be more convenient for home use of both a PC and a smartphone, then this is definitely your device. When I said about the price, availability and savings, I meant that if you take any Android tablet now, it is cheaper or even more expensive than this iPad, then in six months or a year you will spit and want to replace it. The iPad is out of competition. And in 3 years you will be fine with him. * The screen is excellent, albeit easily soiled. Yes, he collects prints very well, but you can see it only when the screen is off. Do not be afraid of the air layer, because you can see it only in direct comparison with older iPads, and even then . well, this does not interfere with the perception of content and the device as a whole. Frames with this concept of the device are also not embarrassing. Yes, on a smartphone thin bezels are already a necessity and industry standard, but on a tablet they are not so necessary and even wide bezels help to better grip and avoid phantom clicks. * The sound is definitely annoying. No, it's nice clean and loud, but the location, albeit 2 speakers, but on one side, deprives you of surround sound, which, in my opinion, should already be the de facto standard by now. Headphones partly mitigate this shortcoming. * Touch ID is terrible. I didn’t even think that in a 2022 device, a fingerprint scanner could work so poorly and slowly. By God, it feels like you are using a scanner from an ancient 5s, but if in those days it was basically the norm for the entire industry, now any Chinese for 10 kilorubles unlocks better. * Cameras. And if, in principle, it doesn’t matter to the main camera and the disorder would not have happened at all in its absence, then the front camera is depressing . No, really, it’s really funny, a gadget that is ideal for video calls is equipped with a front camera from 2022) You can afford this only Apple can. * * * Conclusion: Take it, you won't regret it. The disadvantages are not critical, but the advantages outweigh.
