Apple iPad 10.2 8th Generation 2020 By Paul Wilson eLearning Tutorials

In this video I'm going to talk about the 2020 8th generation iPad. So a little over a week ago, I received my brand new 2020 eighth generation iPad. This is a 10.2-inch screen, which is an upgrade over my previous iPad. I've owned exactly three iPads since uh. Since I started using tablets, I believe I had an iPad Mini. Perhaps it was third or fourth generation, but I want to say fourth generation and more recently I had a 9.7 inch fifth generation iPad. Today I mostly use my iPad as a consumption device, so I'm watching Netflix or prime video, or you know, I simply want to respond to email and do other productivity away from my desk away from my computer.

So it's nice to be able to take something as portable as you know, this iPad with me, wherever I might go so my first impressions of the iPad 2020 eighth generation 10.2 inch is the new chip, the a12 bionic chip, not new, maybe for certain iPhone users, but certainly new for iPad users. It's noticeably fast one of the interesting things, though it's only fast for about a week, and then you start to get used to how fast this works. And then you forget about your old iPad very quickly, so uh there is, I guess it would be the opposite of sticker shock. It's the initial impression that you get with an iPad and then, of course it just becomes normal after a while. The other thing, too is: I chose to go with the 128 gigabyte model.

Previously I had the 32 gigabyte when I had the 9.7 inch. I found that if I installed a lot of apps, I had to offload many apps from time to time. Now I don't seem to have to worry about that. I've literally reinstalled, almost every app I've ever used on any of my iPads on this new one, and I still have two thirds of the storage capacity left. So I'm really happy about that.

So this might lead you to question. Why did you upgrade what was so wrong about your previous iPad? There's a couple of key points here so to stay current. I always want to have a relatively new piece of technology. The reason for that is that if I decide to get rid of this device a year or two from now, I'm going to have a much easier time, selling a 2020 edition iPad than let's say a 2017-inch iPad. There's a lot of capabilities in this new model that just didn't exist with my 9.7 inch. The first thing, obviously, is the size they're, both retina display, so they both offer a really nice display to look at the previous uh processor was an a9 processor.

This is the a12 bionic, I'm not really sure what bionic is but uh. It sounds good to me. Certainly I, like the six million dollar man back in the 1970s. I watched it religiously, so anything bionic is good in my books, obviously the 128 versus 32 gigabytes makes a big difference here as well, and the other thing that's really nice about this model too, is its compatible with Apple Pencil? The only criticism I have of Apple Pencil is the method of charging is, and I heard I think it was one of the other YouTubers saying this is the most un apple solution to charging a stylus that they've ever seen, and I would tend to agree a separate charger would make more sense, but certainly um. You know there are other solutions that you can go with.

I do like the fact that the cap for the Apple Pencil, which would probably be one of the easiest things to lose. You know you get a nice little satisfying magnetic click there, so it's less likely to disappear. I picked up. One of these. Silicon covers for the Apple Pencil which slides right onto the pencil, and then you can insert the cap in this piece here, making it easy to open up but keep the cap actually attached to the pencil.

So it's not going anywhere and of course the one thing nice about the Apple Pencil is that it does come with a gender bender that allows you to connect this plug directly into a regular, lightning, cable and then charge it with its own cable. So easily done as well, should you upgrade, so that's the question that that does come up and um. I think, if you're, if you're, in my situation, where you have an iPad, that's two or three generations ago, it totally makes sense. You're, gonna, get the faster processor, you're going to get the more storage. If you select that option and, of course, compatibility with Apple Pencil if you're a creative person- and you want to be able to do digital artwork, digital drawing, it makes sense to have an iPad.

That's compatible with that. If you have the seventh generation iPad, I'm not sure that I would upgrade the differences are, are minor, it's basically the same body, the same design, the same screen and same compatibility with the Apple Pencil. I believe it's a slightly different processor, but you know, is it something that's going to absolutely blow you away? I've seen some videos on YouTube where people are literally doing video editing. That would challenge many laptops directly on the iPad and, of course the ability to do a lot of video editing is something that uh is. You know is something that you can enjoy with the a12 bionic processor.

So overall, I would say it's a great upgrade to do if your iPad is a few years old. If you can get a few hundred dollars for your old iPad, you can put it towards the purchase of this new model if you're, if you're working with last year's model- probably not you know, I'd, probably wait till see what comes out in 2021 or 2022 uh before upgrading.
