Weekly poll results: the 2022 iPads fail to impress

30 October 2022
Older iPads hold up impressively well, macOS is still better than iPadOS for work, higher prices on the new models - there are plenty of reasons not to get one.

SigmaR, 31 Oct 2022M1 iPad was already overkill, the M2 is even more overkill.... moreI have an m1 iPad and honestly I don't think I'll ever be buying one of those in future. I'd go for laptop or pc if I want performance/productivity.

Even if I do feel the need for tablet, which I doubt, I'll just go for Android ones.

    iPad 2022 is a joke... like non-pro iPhones models this year!

    Usb-c only supports usb 2.0 (480mbps) just as lightening was.
    The price is ridiculous.
    The cpu is outdated.
    The non laminated screen is a shame.

      SigmaR, 31 Oct 2022M1 iPad was already overkill, the M2 is even more overkill.... moreTHIS! I clearly don't see the point of putting M1 or M2 SoC on an iPad when it still runs on iPadOS, which is always a glorified version of iOS for tablets.

        Don't try speaking for others. The reality you have to check is that people are still looking at those relevant features. I myself sold my Samsung S21 Ultra for a brand new Sony Xperia 1 iv and I don't even miss going all wireless. Just because you see them as irrelevant doesn't mean the other 99 people is the same as you.

              Anonymous, 01 Nov 2022There's absolutely no reason to ditch the still-releva... moreThere's absolutely no reason to ditch the still-relevant 3.5mm audio jack and microSD card support. No matter how good wireless audio technology is, it will never beat wired audio. That's why production studios always use wired solutions, not wireless. It's the same story with microSD cards as cloud storage requires constant Internet connection all the time and there are still lots of places with little to no internet connectivity. The only reason why smartphone companies ditch them is that they want to get more profit from their earbuds and Google Drive storage. Not all new ideas are better than the old ones. If anything, the old idea is still far better.

              Man technology as always evolving. Vynil replaced Edison cylynders, Cassettes audio and video replaced vynil, CDs replaesettes, DVDs replaced CDs, Blueray replaced DVDs, any USBkey or external harddrive replaced Blueray, DVDs, CDs and all else. Even a external harddrive got replaced by cloud storage.
              Once if we come to era where everything will be cheap again and cloud storage becomes free with unlimited internet services for everyone via satelites or so everything get replaced by cloud.

              So it doesnt matter the wireless audio is not good as wired one soon we will come to era where wireless will replace wired one because it will be a lot better. Even now is better all depends on which device you use. Cheap wireless sounds bad but some more expensive ones are a completely different something.

              Man but alll new ideas are better than old. Only you can listen to music deep within a rainforest where no connection is available. Thats your area with no connectivity. Or sahara desert, Mount Everest, Hymalayas, Marianas trench etc.

              Man oh man please stop.
              This year some company going to link all their phone with satelites. Soon this will be everywhere and problem with signal will be over.
              Your old tech is gone and times when big dudes walked with a huge battery powered radio on their shoulders is gone.
              Its not that hard to understand.
              Nobody wants to live like a caveman like you.

                    Easy reason why most PCs comes without CDrom or DVDrom drive even blueray. Reason why floppy disks ended.
                    Reason why copanies ditching 3,5mm jack or ditched SD cards and Apple Sim slots in USA.
                    More will come.
                    Soince any extra is just a burden and reason to repair everything which is not needed was skipped.
                    Is just that simple.

The only complain I have is prob its lack of fingerprint to quickly unlock it but that aside, it doesn't have any problems for web browsing and social media use

                        M1 iPad was already overkill, the M2 is even more overkill. At least until apple decides it's time to give it a real OS

                                    "And judging by the amount of negative votes (around 2/3rds), most people don’t want a cheap iPad."

                                    Some of us does want a cheap ipad.....we are just not getting it. With regard to the new 10th Gen iPad 2022.

                                        While it does feel great to see USB-C port on the base vanilla iPad, the same cannot be said for the 1st gen Pencil. To make matters worse, you have to buy the $9 adapter to charge the Pencil. No thanks, but I rather stick with the 2021 iPad 10.2 if that's the case.

                                        As for the iPad Pro, call me back when Apple put macOS in it. In the meantime, I'm very happy with my Surface Pro tablet.
