The color is a little darker than shown, but still beautiful nonetheless. I find myself using this more often than my iPhone now and I'm okay with that. lol. The size is PERFECT FOR everyday tasks like social media, gaming, videos, writing, and typing. The Touch ID lock screen button is handy and perfectly placed too. Speakers are very loud on high volume and the screen resolution is stunning when set to 4K and high brightness (did a test video found on YouTube). The DOWNFALL is the battery - it drains very quickly (with auto-brightness) and needs to charge every night after all-day use. My iPhone 11's battery isn't even this terrible on all-day use.... ALSO: there isn't a little switch for vibrate/silent mode - you need to use the volume buttons or go into the settings... BUT Overall, I am glad I chose this over the iPad 8th Gen.
The fingerprint sensor is very awkwardly placed. Previous versions with the sensor button at the center bottom of screen are much more ergonomic. Despite claims that the new touch screen is fingerprint resistant, this screen shows many more fingerprints than previous versions, and they are more difficult to remove.
I love this IPAD. It’s lightweight fast and visuals are awesome. I use it for everything from movies to excel, photography and video. Try it you’ll like it.
