Using the Apple iPad (9th generation), I’ve found it to be a reliable and versatile device that balances performance and value. The 10.2-inch Retina display offers sharp and vibrant visuals, making it enjoyable for everything from streaming videos to browsing the web. The A13 Bionic chip ensures smooth performance for multitasking and running apps, and it handles most tasks with ease, from casual gaming to productivity work.
The iPadOS provides a user-friendly experience with access to a wide range of apps and features that enhance productivity and entertainment. The addition of the Center Stage feature during video calls is a nice touch, keeping you in the frame as you move around. Battery life is impressive, comfortably lasting through a day of regular use.
For those seeking a dependable tablet that offers great performance without breaking the bank, the 9th generation iPad is a solid choice. It delivers a good mix of functionality and affordability, making it a practical option for both casual users and those needing a device for work or study.

An Artist’s Best Friend
Admittedly, I bought this for art purposes and haven't used it for much else so I'll be rating it based on that.Being away from home, I was without my tablet for a while, so... purchased this. A year later, and I still love it! Even now with my Cintiq, I still enjoy how mobile this tablet is. Want to draw still life at a museum? Take this, it's perfect! Or even in my own home when I don't want to sit in front of my computer for hours, I can simply draw on my bed or while watching TV. It's BEYOND helpful.Now, how does it work, though? Easy, like a charm.Even now, with how much time has passed since I bought it, it still works like new! It doesn't lag so drawing isn't a hassle, and personally, it's the perfect size, too. Not too small, nor too big. The quality of the screen is also perfect, and the split screen feature? Soooo useful.My only complaint: I wish the battery life was a teensy bit better, but that's trivial.I still honestly can't recommend it enough, especially at under $400 (without tax, at least), it's cheaper than a lot of screen tablets with more features, too.

This IPad 9th generation is definitely one you should get if ur looking for an amazing budget iPad. This IPad has every feature that the newer (IPad air/pro) has if looking at the big things. It came with no scratches or cosmetic blemishes. Its A13 chip really shines, super fast performance and battery life is insane. Not lying, it lasts me 10 hours. The screen quality is amazing and has True Tone which IPad 8th gen and under don’t have. It’s very durable and the weight is so nice and feels great when you’re holding it. Also, I’d recommend an Apple Pencil just to get the full iPad experience (it’s not mandatory but if u have the extra money I would definitely recommend). Especially for artists, I barely got into digital art with an Apple Pencil, it’s a world of difference. Pressure sensitivity and just the overall fluidity that the Apple Pencil has with the IPad is heavenly. Anyways, I would recommend this IPad for anyone, amazing product.

Upgraded from an IPad 2018 6th Generation to the Ipad 2021 9th Generation. As you can see in the picture the new Ipad is on the left, it is slightly bigger than the 6th gen IPad, and a little heavier.
Have used the 6th gen Ipad every day since I got it back in 2018 as a gift from a friend. And have really really enjoyed using it, never have had any problems with it. When I saw the new 9th gen was coming out I preordered wanting to upgrade, and was going to trade in the old 2018 ($150) but my wife wanted it so gave it to her instead. But she likes this one so much she is thinking of trading it in and getting a 9th gen as well.
This Ipad has 64gigs of storage instead of the 32gigs I was used to. Which is greatly appreciated!. I spend a lot of time on the beach with my Ipad, reading, listening to music, and occasionally watching a program or two. I now have more storage for the music and videos.
Now one of the main reasons I use the IPad is for my meetings for worship with the JW Library app and Zoom. JW Library has no lag. It's wonderful to use on this tablet. And I've used Zoom already a few times since I got this Ipad last week. And I can tell you the front facing camera upgrade is amazing, from the 1mp to 12mp you can notice a huge difference. And how the camera tracks you or you with your partner is a great feature we love!
I don't know what type of rear-facing camera the 6th gen had compared to this one but there is a huge difference. I added a couple pictures I took of a sunset and sunrise on the beach, and a video. I am astonished at the quality and the beauty of the pics with this IPad. I have literally taken dozens of pics already and you can see for yourself the quality.
Have also played around with some of the apps that came preloaded with it on OS 15 such as Imovies. Making a home movie, adding pictures, and effects, and music, is a breeze, the A13 processor has no problems whatsoever handling making the movies.
I downloaded the new show The Lost Symbol to try out this tablet. And I can tell you it is a great viewing experience while winding down at the end of the day before going to bed. I am glad it still has the headphone jack.
The True Tone technology on the screen leaves viewing the pictures taken and watching videos an amazing experience. This is a great technology that really shines through on this tablet.
I am super satisfied with this tablet and highly recommend it for its easy of use, and tons of awesome features and quality for the price. If you're wanting to take awesome pictures or videos, use it for meetings and video conferences, and reading, such as using the JW Library app.
A couple of other features more from the OS than the tablet itself I thought were worth mentioning. Having the Translate app on the home page. My wife is learning English and is always using this to translate messages she gets and sends all day, a great great feature! And the Background Sounds which can be activated and put on the control center through Accessibility and Audio Visual, and Background sounds. My wife turns this on every night to help her get to sleep.
10/10!
