This replaces a 2019 10.2” iPad basic model that has started lagging pretty bad with every new update that Apple releases. I probably should have stopped taking them before ver 17.
This unit is blazing fast. It is everything in my tiny off grid cabin, tv, web browser, ssh terminal, and though none of these uses are very cpu intensive the difference between the old and new is stark. This thing blazes.
I certainly would not have bought it if Apple hadn’t crippled my old one with the newer updates. This is a thing that cannot be avoided - the axiom is ‘nothing makes old computers go faster than old software’.
I was disappointed that my lighting accessories for reading usb thumb drives do not work with this unit regardless of what adapter I tried, you have to buy new ones. The good news is the cheap one ($15) I bought works fine.
For TV I use the hdhomerun app with their dvr, the bigger picture is welcome on this display and the contrast looks better but the image is no sharper. The makers of hdhomerun change the ui constantly but the underlying interface to the tuners and dvr seemingly hasn’t changed in years, considering the number of crashes and bugs that remain unresolved, so I didn’t expect much of an improvement.

Crystal clear
I am loving my new IPad Air. It’s easy to use……..just tap the glass screen to “wake” it up. Just swipe up from bottom to close an app. This iPad meets all my needs. I watch shows on this IPad Air frequently. The picture is crystal clear, colors are vibrant, and the sound level is appropriate for the device. I bought a case that has its own “stand” built in. Now it’s the complete package!
