If you want to buy this spring, which model is recommended soon?

Apple's iPad series.Various differences depending on the model, such as display quality, size, functions, equipment, and keyboard correspondence

The number of users who use iPads for work and academic work is increasing. In preparation for a new life starting in the spring, I would like to introduce hints to find a model suitable for me from the current iPad to those who are considering buying, replacing the iPad, and buying. [Image] It is an iPad mini without a genuine keyboard, but if you want to compare detailed specifications for each model, such as a camera or display that can be used in combination with a small Bluetooth keyboard, such as Logitech's "MX Keys Mini", if you want to consider it side by side, it is an Apple official site. The iPad comparison page is useful. It can be compared with the models released in the past, so you can see where the latest models will be enhanced than the old iPads you are using now. In this article, we will discuss the following "iPad current model" sold as of early February 2022. The display is not just the difference in size. The biggest 12.The 9 -inch model uses a Liquid Retina XDR display equipped with a newly developed mini LED backlight system. You can enjoy HDR -compatible movies and dramas and HDR videos taken in the iPhone 13 series published in the Apple TV+video distribution service. The iPad Pro has a built -in high -quality audio system composed of four speaker units. The playback of content corresponding to "spatial audio" distributed on Apple TV+and Apple Music is powerful with iPad Pro speakers without using external speakers. The only microphone built into the main unit is the high quality of the studio grade. For those who want to use the iPad for video conferences, we recommend “Pro”, which is the most clear call audio. In the iPad series, only the iPad Pro display is compatible with the 120Hz drive Promotion technology. Not only is the scrolling of the video content with a lot of movement, the scrolling display on the web page smoothly, and the handwritten writing by Apple Pencil feels very smooth. The illustrator and designer of my friend also compare all the iPads and say that the handwriting of the iPad Pro was the most natural. If you want to use an iPad a lot for creative work using Apple Pencil, I think your iPad Pro is suitable. However, iPad Pro is still an expensive device. In addition, when unlocking the screen or purchasing an app on the App Store, it feels inconvenient when wearing a mask outdoors to use face image recognition with Face ID. However, the iPhone equipped with a Face ID is the next version of iOS 15..I hope that the iPad Pro users will provide the same feature because the mask can be unlocked with 4 masks. The fourth generation iPad Air, which is perfect for the first iPad, is a good standard model with a high level of size, function and price balance. We also support Apple genuine iPad -only accessories such as the second -generation Apple Pencil, Magic Keyboard, and Smart Keyboard Folio. One of the attractions that is only in iPad Air is that all five colors of color variations are available. Compared to the 9th generation iPad, both Wi-Fi models and Wi-Fi+Cellular models have a price of about 30,000 yen. Nevertheless, considering the pleasant writing taste by Apple Pencil and the highly expandable function of accessories, it is enough to buy "Air" as the first iPad. On the other hand, the 4th generation iPad Air, which has been about one and a half years after the release, is still very practical, but the cellular communication function is 4G and it is not 5G compatible, and the maximum storage capacity is 256GB. A point that you are worried about. Considering the future, it is a bit lost. Since the sensor resolution of the front camera is lower than the ninth generation iPad, it is not equipped with a "center frame" where the subject person always reflects the frame in the middle of the frame while using a video call application such as FaceTime. Ants will be a little inspiring and aiming for the top 11 -inch iPad Pro. The 6th generation iPad mini, the most advanced digital stationery, is a new product that has been on its most in its current iPad. The same high -performance A15 Bionic chip as the iPhone 13 series and the Touch ID embedded in the home button on the side of the main unit are installed after the 4th generation iPad Air. It supports the second -generation Apple Pencil and has become an all -screen design, so you can use "stationery -like" like a digital agenda or sketchbook. It will always be a slim and light size that is easy to go out in your bag. 8.If you play the video sideways with a 9 -inch Liquid Retina display, it will feel surprisingly spacious as a personal size entertainment screen. Ideal for playing Apple Arcade games, watching movies and dramas that support Apple TV+spatial audio in various places, such as moving. Other iPads are the one that is lacking in iPad mini is an Apple genuine keyboard. If you are looking for an iPad that can be used around text typing as a substitute for laptops, the ninth generation compatible with the genuine Apple SMART KEYBOARD that does not require a pre -charging or Bluetooth pairing. The iPad is also an option. With an iPad, you can buy a cellular communication function for about 3,000 yen cheaper than the Wi-Fi-only model iPad mini. However, if you solidify the surroundings with high -quality third -party accessories, such as a cover with a stand or a wireless keyboard, you can build a very laptop -like work environment on the iPad mini. In the iPad mini and the ninth generation iPad, it is also fun to do the simulation before purchasing which is suitable for your use. The most standard iPad, which has been widespread among schools and students who have a system that allows you to online classes on the “iPad”, which has a pen and keyboard for 70,000 yen, has reached the ninth generation. Gradually expanded the support for Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard, 10 in 2019.It is 2 inches display size. There is a home button with a built -in Touch ID on the bezel (edge) on the main body display side, and the traditional style iPad equipped with the Lightning terminal has only left this series. As mentioned earlier, the advantage of iPad mini is that you can use Apple genuine keyboard, it is easy to work with text, and if it is a 64GB Wi-Fi-only model, about 7 even if you have Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard. There is an environment where you can work hard for 10,000 yen. On the other hand, the performance around the Apple Pencil is inferior. The Apple Pencil corresponding to this unit is slightly heavier than the second generation, and the pen tip follows compared to Pro/AIR, which uses a full laminations display that integrates the cover glass and touch sensor, almost integrated with the LCD. The feeling of coming is a little different. It is recommended that you check the response of Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard, etc., and consider purchasing. Regarding the value unique to iPads that other tablets do not have, it is also important that the App Store has excellent apps in a variety of categories, and that accessories including third -party products are enriched. increase. If you are worried about whether to buy an inexpensive tablet equipped with other OSs or the ninth generation iPad, you know how to use it with an enriched ecosystem and how to use it with many iPad users. You may think about being a tablet that is easy to share. Author: Atsushi Yamamoto Atsushi journalist and writer.
