I bought an iPad air on a whim today and the experience was not very good

Last time I used ipad or mini4, I forgot why I gave up
Years ago, I was very free and wanted to buy a mini to play the king, but considering watching too many videos, I thought about it on a big screen. If the pro couldn't afford it, I would use air.
In the afternoon, I placed an order and stopped by Lujiazui to have a good meal and went to the store to take it home. After setting it up, I played two kings and brushed Douyin station b for two hours. I felt that the experience was not as good as expected.
The worst thing about the body is not the 60hz refresh rate but the speakers. The horizontal screen is okay. When you stand it up to watch the video, it feels like it becomes mono, and the sound feels like it comes out of one side. Sound effects can't be compared to mobile phones.
Secondly, watching the video feels very confused. You can still choose 4k on YouTube of Station b, but I can't find a place to adjust it on Douyin. Before, I thought the screen of my mobile phone was small, so I had resolution options when I brushed it on my computer.
Finally, there is the software ecosystem of tablets, not to mention general or niche apps. Apps such as ins and threads are not adapted to large screens.
In short, after so many years, I didn't expect the tablet to still feel tasteless and it's a pity to discard it. I'm very disappointed. I wonder if there are any ways to improve the iPad experience.

Later, after graduating and going home to live, there was basically no such use scenario, and then it was completely lost... Now put it in the bedroom and use it as a Siri speaker.. or use it to read the verification code when the phone is away

Anonymous2086 Jan 11, 2025I haven't thought of any usage scenarios after eating ash for several years. Every time I take it out and charge it, I want to play with it. When I turn it on, I see the stuck 60hz. In less than a minute, I silently put it back in the drawer.

Anonymous8449 Jan 11, 2025The speaker really doesn't work. pro can solve it But paste... this is a problem with the app. If you use it on Douyin, it really doesn't meet the expectations of a device of this size. Of course, you can open the stage manager to make its window smaller Actually, my iPad Pro is just used to watch hdr content. After all, tandem oled. By the way, I think some of the ones that use Apple Pencil are quite easy to use, and I also use Magic keyboard to type in scenes that are not bad Generally speaking, air is the most based on usage needs. After all, those who buy air most often buy pens and generally don't buy keyboards. Most of them can't stand the digital version of note-taking/drawing users Otherwise, the experience that Pro can provide is much better, but it must be admitted that all of them are non-essential requirements
