A tab, apple pen and microphone
The tab is very nice and exactly what I was expected for. It’s very handy and convenient to write my notes and do other stuffs. I have been using the apple pen to write my notes and quick study by making pictures. Charging is so efficient that you can just attach on the side of your tab. Absolutely love it! I recently started using microphone. It’s great! The sound quality is amazing! Loved the quality and color as well!
