Apple always revolutionalizes its products with new added features and looks. The newest iPad might also look like a good buy but has its pros and cons which are important to look at.
This article talks about the 20 Pros and Cons of buying an iPad tablet:
1. Better Battery Timing
The new iPad provides a very good battery life that lasts up to 10 hours. It lasts this long when you are doing normal tasks such as web browsing, email checking, and chatting. If you have set up a new one, you would see more battery drainage than normal.
2. Inbuilt Daily Use Apps
Apple provides many inbuilt apps for everyday usage which are very helpful such as calendar, clock, memo, and to-do lists along with high-quality video editing, social media, etc. These apps help do everyday tasks easily and effortlessly.
3. Portability
iPads are very convenient to carry anywhere and act as the best portable device which can perform simple tasks similar to a laptop. It’s slim and lightweight and can be carried in a purse, handbag or suitcase, etc, unlike other laptops that need a special case to carry them.
4. Better Interaction
iPad’s large display makes it more interactive to work, play or just watch videos. You can work on a project, edit documents, and watch Netflix with a better interface. Added accessories such as Apple pencil, make drawing and taking notes more interactive and fun.
5. Switch Between Apps
One of the best features of an iPad has to be the one where you don’t have to close the app to access others. You just have to swipe through different apps and it makes browsing more easier. You just have to swipe left or right on the thin bar at the bottom of the iPad which is used to close apps.
6. Picture-Perfect Camera
iPad has a camera that allows you to take picture-perfect pictures and videos. Apple makes it even better by providing different filter options and you can also edit any video or picture by downloading an external app from the App store.
7. Budget-Friendly
Apple iPad and iPad mini are the most convenient and pocket friendly. These range between 30k to 50k and provides top-notch features and security as compared to a high-end laptop.
8. Security
The new iPad protects data and privacy as its top priority. It has built-in features that prevent anyone from accessing your data on your iPad or iCloud. These features minimize how much information is available to you and you can also manage how much information you want to share.
9. Leading Technology
Buying Apple products means you will always be on top in terms of technology. Apple rolls out newer devices with leading technology making them more user-friendly and convenient. With every update, the iPad gets newer and better features.
10. iPad Management Is Easy
You can easily manage an iPad just like a normal phone. You can mute notifications, and install specific apps that will eventually increase your productivity. Its easily accessible features such as a large on-screen keyboard, app drawer, etc make it even easier to work with.
11. Fewer Apps Than Android
Apple App store provides fewer apps in comparison to Android Play Store. If you need to use some apps that are not available on the apple store, then you need to have a spare android phone/ tablet to access them.
12. Limited Customization
iPad doesn’t allow customization of the user interface making it a bit monotonous. Like in Android you can change themes for your tablet or even smartphones but Apple doesn’t allow anything as such. All the iPad and phones come with the same look and feel of the icons on the screen.
13. Limited Expandability
iPad doesn’t provide you an option to expand your storage through any external means and the user is bound to use only the internal memory of the device. Also, it provides options to increase storage but at a very high price.
14. Distracting
Having a lot of features can also sometimes be a negative point for any device. iPad comes with so many quirky features that sometimes it gets very distracting. A student especially, most of the time misuse iPad and use it just for games and music rather than studying.
15. No SD Card Slot
Apple iPad doesn’t come with an SD card slot making the transfer of videos, pictures, or any other files from your older device very hectic.
16. Internet Restriction
Most apps on the iPad need an internet connection and can’t be used offline. Many times when someone doesn’t have an internet connection readily available won’t be able to work on their device. Also having an internet connection leads to getting notifications and hence turns out to be very distracting.
17. Long Notes
If you are a college student and want to do some research on your iPad then you cannot write longer notes on your iPad. This is because the app only allows taking short notes making it very less convenient for school purposes and note-taking.
18. Dependent On Mac And PC For Syncing Data
Apple products are very less compatible with Android and hence basic functions such as file transfer and app downloading become a tedious task. Many times some basic applications cannot be found in the App store which is readily available for Android making it less compatible with selective applications and software.
19. Still Expensive
If we look at the budget-friendly models of iPad they are quite feasible but if someone wants to buy an iPad with more features then it becomes a very costly affair. With more added features the prices sore high making it quite expensive and not worth it.
20. Software Legacy Issue
With added software updates, the older versions don’t get many new features making them less advanced than the other iPads. Only the newer models get extra new features whereas the older ones get simple new features.
