Good evening.
Which iPad should I buy?
I will probably need to buy an iPad from marketplace, Officeworks, or the goodbyes, as my NDIS funding is absolute crap right now.
I can’t even get support workers any more
Shame!
But which iPad should I buy?
An apple into an Apple M1 on Apple A A/Siri/iPad?
Not, I will probably be using this for school, as I’m feeling less productive. Every single day on my MacBook Air from 2017, the can’t even run windows correctly without going berserk!!! Also, I do have an M1 MacBook Air, but my music teacher doesn’t want me taking Naddem to the classroom, as she is paranoia, Mike, bracket
I’m very careful with my laptops, I have never broke any.
If you can see, my laptops are clearly organised, with no cracks, Benz, or scratches, I keep all of my devices, up-to-date, and my MacBook Air M1 probably will be able to blow whatever to school frozen meat out of the water when it’s 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD, and that’s compare to my MacBook Air 2017 what’s 128 GB SSD and 8 GB ram
Nothing is up, but it hasn’t. I five processor compare to the M1 processor, and battery life is toxic on nothing.
I want this iPad I might probably attaching a keyboard to it, preferably an Apple keyboard, but I’ll go for whatever keyboard.
As you can see, I’m very loyal with Apple, Played with Angelique and came right back, so please.
Also, I have an iPad six, but has 32 GB of storage, I’m in year eight that won’t last me.
And I and I have a Samsung galaxy tablet, but for some reason, my schools, BYO, bring your own device, doesn’t support android tablets for some stupid reason.
Probably because the Wi-Fi networks are S an EP, which isn’t supported.
I also have a Braille since six, but that’s the only one with android 10, an android 10 got discontinued awhile ago, Hemsworth could be prone to security tax like all android devices...
If you could help me, thank you

Get iPad air or pro. That will last you for more than 5 years. Check amazon for deals specially when they have their Summer deals. Use a iPad 9 with cell and works well for me. I use a logitech bluetooth keyboard that a friend gave me for Christmas. Is cool.

I could literally go with an iPad nine generation or an iPad mini five and it will last me for around five or six years, which is all I need for school.
And then either I will be forced to use Windows for university/college or whatever you guys call Avah in America, or I can still use my humble MacBook.

Thinking of the future and what you might need to do with it. The 9 is OK for me but if I was going to college I would want one that is going to do many things that I can not even think. More power to you.

I think technically all chips in iPhone and iPad are apple silicon. they only gained that name when they moved to the Macs, replacing intel. It's basically an upgrade of what they were already doing... As far as I understand it anyway.

Regarding what you want... If you buy a most up to date today it should still be running in five years time but, it will be expensive. I'd not recommend the pros as they have better screens (not much of a help) and huge power under the hood that isn't taken advantage of. Even then, it will only really be good for video and photo editing.

The iPad 10, the latest entry, looks interesting. It is limited to Apple Pencil 1, but as we don't have any accessibility with Apple Pencil, that doesn't matter. Stereo speakers in landscape and it comes out as the cheapest of the (new) iPads. There are some accessories for it but not as many as for the iPad Air, which may be something to consider.

I'd recommend the 10th Gen iPad. It has the latest Magic Keyboard with a Function Keys row available and the iPad air with the M-Series chip is not worth it.

First off, personally, at least right now, I’m not taking the USB see trends on the iPad, considering they don’t even have the latest Apple Pencil support? What?
And the iPad nine possibly would last me awhile, but I could also get an iPad mini,
Of course, I will attach a keyboard to this,

iPad mini plus keyboard isn't a good experience. You can get a full sized separate keyboard, of course, but it kinda defeats the object of having the mini.

I don't think the lack of Apple Pencil 2 support on the iPad 10 is much of an issue, as, unless you can see, you can't use it.

the 9 is certainly a good option as you can get the folio keyboard and it is a deal cheaper, especially these days, but if you use it in landscape mode (like a laptop), know that the speakers will only be on one side.

Personally I'm looking forward to the death of lightening. It's annoying as my other devices have USB-C and I like to travel with just a couple of cables. It does make like easier having them all the same.

PS, the mini is awesome, by the way, I just couldn't justify the price of it for something I can pretty much use my iPhone for.

I am telling this from my own experience owning iPad Pros and other non-pro iPads. Mostly with Logitech keyboards.
Do not get keyboard with smart connector, VoiceOver would not allow the screen to lock, and if things go well, it will keep unlocking and drive you crazy. This shows you how Apple cares about accessibility as this bug has persisted for years and years.
I am not expecting serious productivity/writing work on the iPad; lose of focus, horrible text navigation, lack for proper support for Numbers, poor KeyNote accessibility implementation, and more issues are all going to make your user experience horrible. As far as blind folks usage goes, for me an iPad is a device for media consumption and social media, not more.
Again, coming from long experience with iPad Pros and other variants, and I am still using those however much much less than before for the reasons I mentioned above and many other reasons I would be happy to share if you say so.
Now, if you are considering other choices other than the iPads, for the same price you can get very light weight Windows laptop with great battery life.
