For this article, I have also bought Apple Pencil Pro, which is compatible with iPad Air this time. And you know, both these accessories are very good. So on this note, first I will unbox the iPad and show you. So the unboxing experience is typical Apple. At the top is the iPad and this is one of the few Apple products where a charger is available.

There are some apps on iPads that are made only for architects

There is a 20 W charger and a Type C to C cable. There is only documentation here. Now let me show you the iPad. Guys, this is an expected design, brother, all iPads are looking like this in today’s time. Well, there is an antenna here because I have a WiFi and cell variant. And if I talk about the keyboard, guys, One thing is very good about Apple, that these accessories are not very expensive. But the quality is very high. And mostly it is very durable. Meaning it lasts for many years. As for Apple Pencil Pro, it also comes with documentation. But this is Pencil Pro. It has amazing haptic feedback. But in my opinion, graphic designers can extract its true value.

I have tested this iPad Air M3 completely and compared it a little. Still, I wanted to give you guys a reference about what is happening in the Android world in tablets. The market for iPads is completely different. We cannot compare with the Android world because there are some apps on iPads that are made only for architects and only they use them or doctors have some apps that they use only on iPads. Still, the weight is such that it is a matter of praise.

iPad has no competition from that angle. Talking about the design, obviously it is iPad Air. So here, Apple has made it light weight. 460 grams would be called light weight for an iPad. Especially, it is a metal build. And the fingerprint scanner is found on the top side of the iPad. This thing is inside the power button, do you know why? Android tablets.

iPad is giving bad sound. But the output of four speakers is much better

I talk about OnePlus or Xiaomi also have a very good tablet. None of them have fingerprint scanner. So, it is good to have HID in iPad, but let me tell you about one benefit, this Type C port in this iPad can support a speed of 10Gbps, like the data transfer speed is quite on the higher side, that means for reference, I would like to take a OnePlus tablet whose Type C port speed is 4.5 Gbps and I connected SSD to both these tablets and transferred a 30GB file to the tablet and see the results, iPad pasted the file in just 42 seconds, whereas OnePlus took 2 minute 21 seconds, these shots, the Type C port of iPad is very fast.

I was comparing the speakers of OnePlus and iPad. Whereas OnePlus has four speakers. It has a much better output. It has a fuller sound. That means, looking at the speaker grill in iPad, you must be thinking that it has quad speakers. That means there are four speakers. But iPad Air comes with only two speakers. It is not that iPad is giving bad sound. But the output of four speakers is much better. I wish it had four speakers because it is ₹60,000. And I give you a normal suggestion.

Starts with a variant with 128 GB storage and there is an option up to 1TB

There are many variants available in these iPads. There is a Wi-Fi one, there is a retailer one as well and the price keeps on increasing. That means it starts with a variant with 128 GB storage and there is an option up to 1TB. If you do not require more storage, then I personally suggest everyone to buy the base variant. It has the highest value for money. And if possible, buy a separate SSD. Keep your data in it. And I give you another suggestion like this. Look, let me talk about this keyboard, Apple’s Magic Keyboard, it works very well. I mean it is very stylish. The magnets are very fantastic. The typing experience is also good. No doubt Apple has made a very good keyboard.

The iPad is worth Rs. 60,000. A keyboard worth Rs. 27,000 with it seems overkill. But do you know what is the best part of any iPad? There are many third party accessories available. I mean if you go to Amazon to search for a keyboard for it, you can get a fantastic keyboard even for 5500 INR. And I can say the same thing for Apple Pencil as well. I mean you will get a third party one for Rs. 2 to Rs. 3000. But if you are a graphic designer and your main job is to design graphics. Apple Pencil Pro will be a very good investment. Because the kind of haptic feedback and response Apple Pen Pro brings is unbeatable. It will not be able to do any third party accessory.

Apple ipad Air 11 inch with M3 2 — Apple ipad Air 11 inch with M3

It is crazy that if we buy the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro as well, then both these things will cost ₹38,800. As for the display, I mean I tested the display of the iPad. Look, first let me tell you that there are different variants of 11 inch and 13 inch. And the resolution of this iPad display is around 2K. This OnePlus Pad 2 can be bought for this amount. In fact, iPad 11 Gen is available for ₹35,000. So that is why I am saying that if you invest in these accessories then do it wisely.

As for the display, I mean I tested the display of the iPad. Look, first let me tell you that there are different variants of 11 inch and 13 inch. And the resolution of this iPad display is around 2K. And this is a Liquid Retina display. In simple words, this is an LCD panel with a refresh rate of 60 Hz. It will be called low. It should have been a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
