I have been looking forward to using Apple's products one day. Not only iPhone, I also want to experience and even aspire to own iPad, MacBook, iPod, homepod, and airpods, but they all have the same feature: expensive, which keeps me out. So I worked hard this winter holiday and forgot to eat and sleep. Finally.
Now I want to unpack a 128G iPad 2018.

Cover: Starry sky/Novelance

purchase

It took about four months from wanting to buy an iPad to deciding to buy an iPad to having money to buy an iPad. Skipping the middle part, in short, we planted the iPad 2018 through various aspects. (Don't ask why I didn't wait for the iPad 2019, because I was too lazy to wait.) So I decided to earn some iPad money by working during the winter vacation, so I had the previous working diary.
In this way, after more than a month of winter vacation, the salary from part-time work+begging my mother desperately for "sponsorship" brought a new iPad 2018.

On the day of getting on the train on the 22nd, I placed an order in the official Apple Mall early. In order to get it quickly, I didn't apply for laser engraving. But it was sent by EMS

Wait a minute, we'll be there~

However, it arrived on the 24th on time. It was also fast to send it from Shanghai.

Unpacking

The packing box is a thickened kraft paper box with reinforced interlayer at both ends to fix the iPad, which can prevent the box from being damaged by vibration during transportation. There is not enough light, so I don't want to shoot more, just dismantle it.

The package includes iPad body × 1, instruction manual × 1, power cord × 1, charging head × 1, three guarantees certificate × 1.
I just don't know why the charging head can be disassembled, so I can only ask the experienced fruit powder what it is for later.

Turn on the machine. Set language, enter personal information, log in account, skip binding Alipay, enter fingerprint, set Siri, set desktop wallpaper, and download applications. Have a complete experience of iOS.
Wow, that's great. I don't want to write. I want to play with the iPad（ This is one of the reasons for Gu ）……

user's experience

During my search for iPad related information, I noticed that when 2018 Pro was launched, it had a slogan of "surpassing the performance of computers and becoming your next generation computer". Although I'm not a Pro, it's a similar experience. To borrow a sentence from He, the iPad is characterized by no innovation, no breakthrough and no rivals.

From my experience these days, this is a large iPhone. Although I don't have an iPhone, I have used my classmate's 6S. Let me talk about what makes me unhappy about the iPad.

1. Configuration

As usual, send parameters.

IPad 2018 Parameters
Body specification 240mm×169.5mm×7.5mm
weight Net weight 469 g
Screen resolution 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution, 264 ppi
size 9.7 inches
CPU 64 bit A10
camera 8 megapixel camera
Battery 32.4 watt hour lithium polymer rechargeable battery
Interface Lightning charging interface, 3.5mm headphone interface
fingerprint Touch ID
system iOS 12

9.7 inches in size. I thought it was a little big at the beginning. Compared with the mobile phone in hand. However, after a few days of use, I don't think it's too big. It's just a little heavy. With such a large screen, typing is not very convenient. I'm glad to learn double spelling.

I don't like the lightning charging interface very much. It is different from the popular Type C interface. Only Apple devices can use it. This makes me have an extra power adapter on the socket and a cable on the desktop. However, the iPad 2018 pro is a Type C interface. Maybe the iPad 2019 will continue the interface configuration of the previous generation pro? Then I really joined the national army in 49 years.

2. Operating system

After all, the iPad is equipped with iOS, not macOS. So the app on iPhone and iPad can also be used. So this is the case.

1. Application not adapted

I don't understand why apps on iOS that are not adapted to the iPad will look like this. Unlike Android, the unsuited app will be forced to stretch and enlarge. But for the iPad, it is difficult to operate such a large screen when it is small, and the resolution will become lower when the lower right corner is enlarged

2. It seems that there is no downloader

This is not a big problem. What bothers me is why there is no download application on iOS. PC has IDM, Android has ADM, but I looked around and found no downloader on iPad.
Maybe not since ancient times, regardless of him.

3. Operation logic

Slide left to open
Slide left to open
Slide right to close
Slide right to close

The operation logic of notification information on iOS is to slide left or click to open the notification application, and slide right to clear the notification. However, you can turn off notifications by sliding left and right on Android, and click to enter the application. As an Android user, I am not used to this, but I can only adapt slowly.

4. Apple pencil

Apple pencil is a good thing. It has a round pen body and the metal texture of the charging part. I like its minimalist design style.


Only on the first generation of pencil, the adapter can be used for charging, but the officially recommended pairing method is extremely painful.

5. Screens that are particularly easy to stick fingerprints

summary

In general, this is a good equipment. However, I am still in the process of in-depth study, and it will take a long time to change from Android to IOS, so I will not write more.
