Disclaimer: It is very strange to describe the devices not at the time of exit, and when more than dofig is already said about them, but why not ...

Let's start with general theses - this design was presented 4 years ago in 2018 and we can assume that I set the trend for the entire line, because a year later our favorite iPhone came to direct facets, and in 2021 updated iPad Air and iPad joined here. Mini. Despite the fact that Air and Mini received the same design, most chips remained exclusive for the convex.

And perhaps we will begin with them, because against the background of their absence, the meaning is lost in the purchase of newer tablets (especially Air, because it has the same dimensions). Screen: Despite the fact that the color accuracy of everyone, except for the youngest model, has long been led to the DCI-P3 standard, the past is still higher in peak values ​​of brightness (600nit versus 500) and the Promotion technology adapively adjusting the screen renewal in the range from the range from the range 24 to 120 frames per second. Also in the prospects there remains total superiority in sound in the form of a full -fledged stereo and 4 speakers, unlike 2 speakers on one side in younger models. This probably could have finished all the description, because the iPad still remains a device for absorbing content for most users, but the differences about the versions do not end. Face ID-for someone this is a plus, for someone a minus, but as for me: it has already proven the standard for safe authorization for years and it is time to abandon the fingerprint scanners in the buttons, and not continue to shove them into new generations of tablets, the topics More taking into account the fact that on the 11 -inch tablet it is not very convenient and conveniently reach for the power button.

In this thought, we come to the fact that the new Air and Mini - look like not the most reasonable waste of money against the backdrop of 2 and even 4 year olds. Why did I take here as much as the first generation of 11 inch iPad Pro? Everything is very simple - from the moment of appearance in 2018 it was so powerful and brought to perfection of the device that all its changes (and now the current model is 3 generation on M1), can be called minor updates.

And this is what has changed from the release of the original iPad Pro 11:

Against the backdrop of the new Galaxy Tab release in 2020, Apple decided to play it safe and did not continue to sell a 2 -year -old device at that time and released 2 generation, which received a second camera in the form of Ultrashirik (the only excuse is the rear of the rear to the general appearance with iPhones, because The vast majority are photographed on the phone, not on the tablet). Lidar scanner was added to the rear block of the camera for better interaction with augmented reality. Updated and added microphones, which significantly improved the quality of sound recording. Updated the communication module to Wi-Fi 6. They issued 6GB of RAM from the Barsky shoulder, which was available in the first generation only with the maximum volume of the drive. They also increased the basic amount of memory from 64GB to 128GB. Well, a cherry on the minor upgrade cake was the A12Z chip, which in practice was no different from the original A12X. And no matter how strange it sounds - it is still excessive performance for the tablet. Therefore, the tablet that came out this year on M1 is deprived of all meaning. Moreover, taking into account the fact that in addition to the chip, upgrade with the support of the port of Thunderbolt and Ultrashirika on the front chamber - the third generation has not changed at all.

What do we get in the end? Even the first generation of 11 inch conists is still relevant and will be relevant for the next 3-5 years. But in order to avoid searching for accessories for the first generation, it is better to immediately take the second and use the entire accessible palette of Apple accessories.

P.S. I’ll add from myself that even with macbooks I did not conduct Space Grey in the case of the iPad, I gave a slack and already regretted it in a week, this “black” version bursts as the last creature in comparison with the standard silver.
