问大家
: Is the price the same for the phone and iPad? 手机和ipad一样价格吗
: Is it worth buying at this price? Or should I buy the previous version? 值得买吗这个价?还是买前一版的?

: Wishing Apple to strive to lag behind other brands in configuration by ten years. 祝苹果争取落后其他品牌配置十年
: Wait until the end of the year for 399. 等年底399
: No high refresh rate, it stutters. Just go for the Pro. 没高刷 一卡一卡的 直接pro
: No high refresh rate for the Air, which means the Mini won't have it either. Apple is really something, customizing a 60Hz OLED tablet panel for 2026
air没高刷,证明mini也没有了。苹果挺牛,2026定制一块60hz的OLED平板面板
: It's 2026 and still only 60Hz, truly Only Apple Can Do... I'm speechless
2026了还是60hz,真就Only Apple Can Do 啊……麻了😂
: Such powerful performance, yet still can't handle high refresh rates?
这么强的性能,果然还是带不动高刷新率么
: Apple's high refresh rate is as stingy as Toyota's power seats. 苹果的高刷和丰田的电动座椅一样。吝啬
: Still at 60, not upgraded to 120? 不会还是60,没上120吗?
: You're right. 你说对了
: Just bought the M3
剛剛買了M3
回复 @匿名用户 : Original price on the official website
原價官網
: How long ago was it? Can I return it on the official website? 刚刚是多久,官网可以退
: If only the MacBook Neo had this core
MacBook neo要是有这个核心就好了
: Wish I had this memory 有这个内存就好了
: The iPad's price-to-performance ratio is really too low now. For the same price, you can buy an Android tablet with much better hardware specs (the processor may not keep up, but tablet processors are clearly overkill these days) and an experience that's no worse than the iPad's. iPad现在性价比真的是太低了,同样价格去买android平板,能买到好的多的硬件配置(处理器确实跟不上,但现在平板明显处理器性能过剩)和根本不输ipad的体验
: Recommend one 推荐个
回复 @匿名用户 : I think there are no issues with daily use in these aspects, and there won't be any risk of personal data being stolen unless you install some unsafe software (although iOS might indeed be stronger in this regard). For specific software, you can search to see if the Android versions of the apps you commonly use are optimized for tablets. In terms of smoothness, I think it's no less than an iPad. OnePlus doesn't have many experience stores, but at worst, if you buy it and find it unsuitable, you can just return it—there's not much cost involved. 我觉得日常使用这些方面都没啥问题,不会有个人资料被盗的情况,除非装了什么不安全的软件(虽然ios这方面可能确实更强一点)。具体软件方面可以去搜搜你常用的这些的安卓版有没有做平板适配,流畅度我觉得丝毫不输ipad。oneplus没什么体验店,大不了买了觉得不合适就退,也没什么成本
: They can only deliberately not include a high refresh rate, otherwise how would they sell the Pro!
Seriously, even tablets costing 1000 RMB have high refresh rates now. Apple's greed is just too obvious. 只能故意不给高刷了,不然pro怎么卖! 无语,现在1000人民币的平板都有高刷,苹果吃相难看
: Not very appealing, and it's a bit of a slap in the face to M4 iPad Pro users
没啥吸引力 还要恶心一下m4 ipad pro用户
: Why? 為什麼?
回复 @嘉倫的日常 : Because the base model of the iPad Pro M4 comes with 8GB of RAM, while the Air M4 is standard with 12GB of RAM. 因为iPad Pro m4的低配是8gb运存,而Air m4标配12gb运存。
: 599 paired with the M4 is really a steal. 599搭M4真的太香了
: Next Christmas, you can get it for 399. 明年圣诞399可拿下
: Everything smells good will only harm you. 什么都香只会害了你
: Recently thinking about buying an iPad but not sure which one offers better value for money. 最近想買iPad 但不知道那個性價比好ㄧ點
: Is the price the same for the phone and iPad? 手机和ipad一样价格吗
: It's 2026, and low-refresh-rate screens are basically e-waste, not as good as Samsung's $499 iPad Pro. 2026年了 低刷屏基本都是电子垃圾 不如sams499的ipad pro
回复 @匿名用户 : Read after me, iPhone17's promotion, where is pro 跟我念,iPhone17's promotion,where is pro
回复 @匿名用户 : Say it with me: ProMotion, the Motion only for Pros. 跟我念:ProMotion,Pro才有的Motion
: No iPad 12 没有iPad 12
回复 @匿名用户 : My son's new iPad has been dropped twice, and this time it's completely broken, so I have to buy him a new one again, but I'm not sure which one to get. 我兒子新的iPad摔了兩次這次摔爛了,所以我又要給他買一台新的,但不知道要買哪一台
回复 @嘉倫的日常 : Kids can just buy the cheaper ones. For the new standard version, you can wait for the year-end discount, which seems to be around 279. For the Air, you can wait until it's 399. 小孩子买便宜的就行,新款标准版可以等年底打折,好像279,air可以等399
: The value for money is too low, completely inferior to Costco's M4 Pro off![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)
性价比太低了,完全不如cotsco的m4 pro off![[捂脸哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_wulianku@2x.png?v=1)

: Nowadays, after being impacted by AI agents, the iPad is basically useless for anything other than entertainment. 现在ipad被ai agent冲击之后,除了娱乐以外,基本没啥用了。
: Why do you say that? 为啥这么说呢
