i dont know exactly which ipad model it is, but parts of the screen dont work and i also just like to have it instead of the mac so to watch movies have all my school stuff there and for it to be small enough to take it with me everywhere too

yea the airpods seem a bit like a waste of money to me since i have mine and they funcion well enough and maybe a deep cleanign service would make thw sound clearer too

how old is old?

I have a second generation iPad Air running iOS 12.3.something and still find it stupendously capable as a writing machine.

regarding the AirPods Pro, my opinion is not necessarily authoritative and is definitely not informed by first hand experience, but your money is almost certainly better spent elsewhere regardless of what you're looking for from over-the-ears.

I though it was the funniest thing that they pulled the charger stunt literally ome year after switching to usb-c bricks and usb-c to lightning cables in the box. So litrrally everyone upgrading from an older iphone would have to buy a new brick and damage the environment even more.

The charger being removed is just a way for apple to maintain their profuts without increasing the phone's price. Considerimg that the 1000 dollar price tag has been a thing for nearly 6 years now, I guess It's somewhat understandable.

Aramid fibres (Kevlar), claims to be stronger than steel 🤷🏻 I had one for my iPhone X, survived being dropped down the stairs several times, into the bath and from the loft bouncing off a metal ladder with only minor scuffs than cleaned away. Doesn’t claim to be anything other than a tactile case that’s ultra slim; but I’ve only ever had to replace screen protectors after 4 years of use. Only visible damage on the 5 year old phone is some scratches on the glass edge above the notch.
