Currently, the vast majority of users are interested in compact smart devices like smartphones or smartwatches. While tablet devices may be showing a downward trend over the years (according to the sales figures from most reputable retail chains), it cannot be denied that the iPad still holds a very strong position, attracting users.
What makes the iPad Gen 7 stand out from its 2018 predecessor, especially when people still choose the iPad over the iPhone 11 Pro Max or iPhone 11 Pro, given that the screen is already impressive at this point in time?
1. Environmentally Friendly Design
Amidst a forest of devices with glass backs and metal frames coming from smartphones, the iPad maintains its unique essence. The iPad Gen 7, with its entirely aluminum back, exudes a luxurious and cool feel.
Especially noteworthy is that this year's iPad aluminum material is 100% recycled, making it more environmentally friendly. This reaffirms Apple's position as a leader in revenue, innovation, and environmental protection consciousness.
2. Larger and Sharper Display
With a plethora of new features like Apple Arcade or Apple TV and increasing consumer demand for entertainment, the screen of the 7th generation iPad has also been improved in terms of size, increasing from 9.7 inches to 10.2 inches.
In terms of sharpness, it still boasts an IPS Retina display for a vivid color experience with minimal distortion. However, images will now be slightly sharper due to enhancements in pixel density, now at 2160 x 1620 pixels (compared to 1536 x 2048 pixels).
3. Compatibility with Smart Keyboard
The high demand of work coupled with frequent mobility prompts users to seek a device that is not too cumbersome yet still meets their document editing needs. Understanding this, Apple has equipped the iPad Gen 7 (2019) with a new smart connector port, allowing you to use it with a detachable keyboard much like a MacBook.
In terms of typing experience, according to the majority of users, it feels quite smooth and convenient, with the keyboard even providing a more enjoyable typing sensation compared to the butterfly keyboard on MacBook generations from 2016 onwards.
4. Experience the new iPadOS operating system designed specifically for iPad
Since June of this year, the iPad no longer runs on the iOS operating system shared with the iPhone; instead, it has its own operating system called iPadOS. The interface will still be similar to iOS but with additional icons displayed outside the home screen for an experience closer to macOS.
With iPadOS, you can run two apps simultaneously on the screen, manage data. And Apple is committed to further supporting a series of work-related software for iPadOS in the future.
5. Improved Performance
The performance with the A10 Fusion chip remains unchanged compared to its predecessor, but thanks to significant software improvements such as iPadOS, Apple Pencil, and detachable keyboard, work performance will be much better. We don't spend a large sum of money on an iPad just for entertainment, do we?
But if you're someone who enjoys gaming and wants better performance, don't worry because Apple has introduced Apple Arcade with a series of software optimizations that are extremely good for gamers. Like playing PUBG, you can use the A, S, D keys to move, or optimize for console to play fighting FPS games.
