Having been sizing this particular device up for well over a few years now and trying my luck with second hand sellers on various platforms (all of whom are still demanding absolutely eyewatering prices for damaged ipads – ‘cracked screen, still useable £500’ – no pal, i don’t think i will) – i finally decided to look into financing and surprise surprise, ClickElectronics actually do offer a very decent five month plan. So a grand’s worth of shiny new tech spread out over five months is still a grand, but is less likely to cause 3:00am wakeups leaving one staring at the ceiling wondering how you could have spaffed an entire thousand pounds on a steamrollered iphone.anyways, great. ordered, paid first installment, done. royal mail was mercifully quick in actually delivering in stark comparison to their behaviour over the first lockdown – ‘no we don’t know where your parcel is and we don’t know when it will arrive’ – and got it over in one(!) day.enough whingeing about logistics. i guess the short answer for me as to whether this was worth it is most definitely not. i bought and still have a good old ipad in 2010 which gives me email, plex, netflix, safari, some social media. it’s not fast any longer and i cannot jailbreak it, but it does the job. on spending a few hours testing this 12.9 device, it just did not have that same effect as my little old 3rd gen machine did. no wow factor at all. i guess it’s the equivalent of going from an old CRT telly to a flat screen LED or something. the next time around just does not have the kick in the guts as the first, big upgrade.Some things that are just strange and seem not good (to me) when thinking about this big old machine:the standard UI elements such as time, battery life, connection, do not seem to be scaleable. am i wrong? not sure. i did hunt around to try and find where the accessibility settings would allow me to punch them up. never found this.Functionality and intuitiveness of these ‘gestures’ – swipe left, up, down, in, out, whatever – now seem to have regressed? i used to swipe to get at all open apps to close them. now you have to sort of hover your finger on the bottom left of the screen and slowly drag up and right to carefully reveal what’s open in the background. the ‘today’ swipe right thing made me want to cry or hurt myself. can’t be turned off (i did check extensively).all of the apps – garage band, wallet, news, measure, stocks, etc etc etc etc… yeah, fine. whatever. having jumped over to android and the Pixel some years back i can not say that apple’s OS delights me any longer. i’ve got equal and in some cases better applications on my little google phone. if you use things like facebook,instagram and so on, i guess that these comapnies are not really interested in catering to large format high density screens on devices like this – they look fairly bland (instagram clearly could not give a toss about ipads or tablets – you still have to maximise the interface from 1x to 2x, which looks rubbish – fair enough) and better on a small screen, i suppose.as for the speed of it – again, my little 12-month old google pixel fairly creamed this thing. the biggest gripe i still have around my old ipad was, after a certain point in software updates, it just ground to a halt. i lost an iphone some years ago after mistakenly leaving it on a bus while moving house and felt a kind of relief that i could legitimately get a different phone, it was that slow.i might be being too picky about this, but i just felt guilty agreeing to spank £1000 on a machine that, when i’d actually tried it, really did not feel like one thousand pounds worth of quality to me at all. i’ll stick with the old model until it finally gives up and then go back to hunting for a second hand option. i can’t spend this much on a tablet.
