The new iPad. It's your digital notebook, mobile office, photo studio, game console, and personal cinema. With the A12 Bionic chip that can easily power essential apps and immersive games. So you can edit a document while researching on the web and making a FaceTime call to a colleague at the same time. Apple Pencil makes note-taking with iPad a breeze.~ Attach a full-size Smart Keyboard for comfortable typing.~ And go further with Wi-Fi and Gigabit-class LTE~ and all-day battery life.~

Definitely a better ipad compared to my 5th generation Ipad that I had for 3 years now. The battery life is a little better not too much in my view, but glad I got the 128gb the space on my old one was down to the last 1 or 2 gigs. I was gotta get the Air version but I dont heavily use the ipad for video or need the extra power. Plus the new Air is pretty much 2 regular ipads or $800 I already got 4 cables and 4 chargers I need and still didnt get close to 700.
if your just a casual ipad user or just need something to go on the road and do small quick things or just want to stream, watch movies etc at a super ez low price this works fine. I pretty much use my ipad to browse, stream, watch movies when am on the go, or just want to relax and not turn on my big computer.
Definitely get a screen protector and decent cover that protects both sides, so your Ipad lives forever or at least past a couple generations of new Ipads. I still use my old Ipad when I go out, nothing wrong with it just old, my new Ipad I just use it in the house only and so far both ipads are working great. With great care and great equipment comes Great Ipad

The Apple 30W USB Type-C power adapter offers fast, efficient charging at home, in the office, or on the go. While the power adapter is compatible with any USB Type-C enabled device, Apple recommends pairing it with the 13" MacBook Air with Retina display for optimal charging performance. You can also pair it with select iPhone and iPad Pro models to take advantage of the fast-charging feature. Charging cable sold separately.

Keep the power flowing between your devices with this Apple USB-C to Lightning cable. It lets you connect compatible iPhones, iPods and iPads directly to Macbooks without any additional adapters. This USB-C to Lightning cable can be connected to a USB-C power adapter to utilize the iPad Pro's fast-charge feature.

works really well and doesn’t snap like the cheap non apple clones out there. I mostly use these cables to charge my new ipad 2020 and iphone se editions. My old ipad 5th generation and old chargers for my iphone se works well with the cables too, so no reason or chance of returning to store, none of the apple cables I bought never needed a change or broke on me since I started, my old usb to lightning cables still work and never had to replace those either. I tested a ankler 30 watt charger, apple 20,30 watt usb c chargers and no fire yet. Perfect simply perfect and I got the cables on sale too, so double thumbs up.
Definately get these cables they are a good investment if you treat them right and use it with the right equipment

I have all versions of Roku Ultra (2018,2019, 2020) and I have to say there is NO BIG difference from each one! The 2018 version doesnt have the tv off, mute, volume buttons, button shortcuts, that the 2019 and 2020 has, but the loading times of channels, the channel selection, is the same on all versions.
The big difference I see mostly is the support for Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, HDR vision, HDR10, or the 4k Home theater hard core fans. I can finally play all my Vudu 4k movies with Atmos or hear my 5.1 dolby plus sound bar at its full Potential. There was 4k support before on the 2019 roku but no dolby vision or dolby atmos at the time. Glad they added it in the 2020 version cause pretty much all the new 4k movies are in hdr10 or vision, with dolby plus or atmos.
I havent checked if the the 2020 roku is cooler than the previous versions, its only been 2 hrs since I turned this on, but I can say that the old power cable of the roku 2019 version does work with the roku 2020 version. The old remotes of all ultra versions work on the 2020 roku, setup was pretty simple. just register it when you login into your roku account on any laptop, phone, computer etc and make sure to allow it network access and you should be streaming in no time.
I’d say the only big thing or turn off for the roku is that it only works really well if you have all the equipment to take full advantage of the goodies u get. For me I have a decent 4k tv, 4k player, soundbar, cables, and watch alot of streaming channels that only Roku offers. $100 is not so bad I have chromecast 4k and apple 4k tv too but most of my movies, channels, and overall preferences goes to roku first.
For people that are new, old, curious, the roku 2020 is a good choice it offers all the 4k standerds, hdr, atmos, hd, channel selection, fair price, EZ remote friendly, and convenient you wont get disappointed. Again if your struggling to decide which player is best for just pick the one that fills all your needs. I use both apple 4k and roku, apple 4k tv works great with my apple exclusive only tv shows, movies or things I can only do on apple, my ipad 2020 version and iphone SE works amazing with the tv mirror option and sharing from ipad or iphone to appletv options, love watching Twitch TV and HBO Max that are only available on apple tv. However Roku has all movies and tv shows that I bought when we first started “DigItal Copies)” Ultraviolet, UV, before Movies Anywhere , most of my digital movies and tv show redemptions were only available to “Vudu”, even with movies anywhere not all my movies show up when I connected my vudu to movies anywhere. Also apple has a crappy player software or a really bad player gui that all the apps must use, but the roku vudu version is amazing or at least decent enough to move around and have the basic play, next chapter, fast forward, chapters, etc organized enough that you dont have to keep sliding and sliding compared to the apple remote. Also you can buy/rent movies on the vudu roku version, on the apple tv you can only watch on the app version. I only payed 50$ or half off for the 2019 roku ultra the apple tv never goes on sale or if it does good luck paying under 100$. The free 4k upgrade is nice of apple but I hate the player options or constant battle to slide back and forth to skip scenes, switch languages with a big giant menu box on top of the screen blocking most of the picture. Plus I hate rebuying some of my movies or tv shows on Apple Tv because movies anywhere doesn’t recognize my UltraViolet movies.
Again great roku but I just dont see the BIg Bang or alot of changes that makes it the Best. Kudos to bestbuy for the fast shipping, Shipped out Sunday and got it Tuesday as promise and no damage to the product. Might get another one for sure if I get a 8k tv and if Black Friday has it on sale again am definitely getting 2.

alright but important things to know READ ME PLZ

I see a lot of just, “ great set 4k looks great” so here is my short detail facts die hard or casual batman fans should know about this set.
4K things
yes the films look great on 4k or at least better than the blurays and sound amazing.
the soundmix for Batman 1 is new or different from the original sountrack used on previous bluray but not too bad some sounds better or just as good. Really depends on your nostalgia, but for me the new sound effects or bullet sounds are ok. Luckily I still have my old blurays of the first one. the 2nd, forever, and 4th film still the same sountrack. Personallly, I could care less about the last 2 even if the add new effects or extra 10 mnutes of deleted footage crap is still crap imo..hehehe
packaging
the steel book casing and box does look great and is definately NOT cheap plastic. I do agree some of the cases are damage or there is a dent on the steelbook casing. Luckily I buy 2 of every steelbook case I get, so I wont have any of those bad cases and I can always return the unopen damage copy for my money back.....
extras-
nothing just like how everyone is saying the extras is pretty much dead here. Someone said you can get the extras online, but that is not mostly TRUE!. Only the 1 batman movie can you get the extras on Movies Anywhere online only, I have double checked Vudu and Movies Anywhere on my Roku, Ipad, no extras only extras found on the first Batman movie online. Luckily I love Batman so much that I bought the regular batman 4k boxset and got the blurays that have the EXTRAS, but for a very heavy fee. Seriously, WB practically every 4k disc release these days have the bluray disc and HD digital copy included now! This was just pure greed and money politics for Batman fans shame on WB.
Overall- if you dont care about the extras and just want the 4k disc and 4k digital copy the steel book set is ok, the price is the same as the regular 4k boxset that Amazon sells for 91$. However if u want teh extras and also the bluray discs too the regular 4k boxset is better. I bought the regular 4k boxset from amazon and they are the exact same 4 discs, digital copy, and content as the 4k steelbook set. Other than the basic 4k black casing and art packaging, the blurays or extras that fans want is missing. If u already have the blurays with extras I’d go with the steel book casing if u want the 4k only and steelbook cases. Cause most of the extras on the blurays included in the regular 4k boxset is the same as the previous bluray releases.

Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with Lightning connector to your Apple iPad 10.2" (7th Generation 2019) and USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) enabled Mac for syncing and charging. You can also use this cable with your Apple 29W, 61W, or 87W USB-C Power Adapter to charge your iOS device, and even take advantage of the fast-charging feature on iPad Pro, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X.
 

If I plug the USB-C end into my Nintendo Switch, can the Nintendo Switch charge my IPhone battery?
