iPad Gen 9 Two Weeks Later! The ACTUALLY Useful iPad!

With all the releases so far this year its easy to overlook the humble standard iPad Gen 9. However I think this is probably the most actually useful iPad you can buy and have been using mine for the past couple of weeks.
So how has it held up?

I personally don’t have a problem with the screen not being laminated. The screen is beautiful for movies, web browsing or gaming. Best investment I’ve made this year. iPad 9 is a solid device!!!!

[@PTYC933]

It’s for those who wants to use the pencil. Less parallax. This is a really great good enough device. Good base storage too, so no need to go up to the next tier. A13 is great enough, benchmark says it performs about snapdragon 888 fast in games on phones. So on a tablet even better heat dissipation, with that big metal surface.

@@icarofilho6524 Same. I bought the iPad Mini 5, which was one of their first parts bin devices. Since then, I've bought the iPhone SE, a Macbook Pro, and the new iPad Mini. I just love the value proposition of some of those parts bin devices so I'll always be looking for that bang for youe buck. Sometimes it makes sense to splurge, like for my Macbook and new iPad Mini but I love that I have a range of options now.

[@guitarkat5762]

I got a Apple Watch SE and it's just awesome. Everything I was looking for. Works great in the pool! Didn't need blood oxygen sensor anyways and fro the value and keeping in the ecosystem for easy management is great. Loved the ease of the phone calls and controls from my iPhone to the watch using the watch to control and use Spotify. Like text messaging from my watch through Bluetooth to the phone. I felt like I was in the future or had James Bondesque gadgets. My spouse loved his iPhone SE. We loved the value for the money. Can't recommend SE line enough.

non laminated display is very big fail in those ipads... you cant made non laminated display in 2021.. unresponsive, laggy, airgap. garbage. glue that glasses together stupid apple! i havent had unlaminated display since samsung galaxy ace (2012) and will newer buy any touchscreen device with non laminated display. i had ipad air 2 that is a screen, this one is just one more reused old cheap parts. ipads from 2017-2021, only soc is worthy, cameras are shit, junk stuff..

[@zwheels654]

@@tinko975 I see where you're coming from but it depends on your priorities and use case. For me, the iPad is a portable device that I use for administrative work. To that end, I don't need a great display and spending the extra money wouldn't make a lot of sense.

[@meatwad4900]

I think this ipad should honestly be compared to other budget laptops in its price range. For most people who need a basic computer for email or content consumption I seriously think the ipad 9 is the better buy. Longer battery life, faster processors, lighter, apple pencil support if just 1st generation, it may not be the best ipad but it's honestly good enough. Hard to argue at $330.

[@yeisonhernandez7960]

I’m a University student and I took the risk, sold my i5 10th gen Intel HP laptop and bought this iPad with the Logitech Combo Touch. Don’t get me wrong, HP laptop was great, but I’m so tired of those crappy HD screens, low battery life, and noisy fans even opening Word. I wanted something portable, gorgeous screen, intuitive, fast as possible and integrated with my iPhone XR like Music or Photos. Wish me luck!

I went with the silver 64gb base model as it's very affordable compared to the other models. After almost 2 weeks of use and the honeymoon phase of a brand new device wore off, it still left me thinking that its a great ipad. Great resolution screen compared to to other 720p-1080p Android tablets I've owned even though it is still non-laminated, so many accessories out there since it fits the same ipad 7th and 8th gen accessories if you still own any like I do, a headphone jack that many premium tablets just don't have anymore, incredible batterylife though charging it back up to 100% still takes more time than more expensive ipads. It does everything an ipad should but at a cheaper price

[@dansanger5340]

The base iPad is regularly on sale at various retailers for $300. IMHO, the base iPad is the only iPad that's worth the money. The rest are overpowered and overspec'd for a mobile OS.

[@GeetMadan]

Totally agree with that 💯 I would even go as far as saying the base iPad is also too powerful for what it can do. But that only means it will be supported with newer iPadOS updates for longer.

[@santhoshsridhar5887]

If anything, this itself is a bit overspecced if it had a bit more RAM. A13 is basically a SD865 with a slightly weaker CPU and was cutting edge when it came out 2 years ago. It would easily beat out a 300$ laptop. And it’s display is better than quite a lot of 700-900$ laptop displays and it’s cameras are also better than most laptops out there. It has a pretty large battery and lasts longer than every iPad(far as I’ve seen, the 11inch m1 iPad Pro trails behind it). I do hope if they’re changing it up majorly by adding a laminated display with liquid retina(recently added to iPad mini and has 100% DCiP3 colour gamut), maybe a better rear camera and more ram and I guess an A14 next year, I do hope they don’t raise the price over 350$ tho I have a feeling it’d go upto 400$. Tho I have a feeling they’ll still stick to the same non laminated display with home button and maybe either upgrade the processor to A14 and/or upgrade the memory to 4GB.

[@gadget00]

I would say I agree with you, but because the models with full screen keep having 'ghost dot in the screen' issues all the time, model after model. Apparently the only design that really works without screen problems is the original one LOL

[@TheNewMediaoftheDawn]

Yup, it’s a quality device and the larger bezels allow for more hand holding space. Once you start watching the screen, the style of the device instantly disappears, but it still looks fine stylistically. Excellent, quality-performance vs price tablet.

[@littlestevie2919]

This is the model that got me to take a risk on trying an iPad after many years of using Apple laptops (starting with a Powerbook 140). I'm still in the fooling around stage with the iPad, but I find myself using it for a little bit more every day.

[@egcruzer]

I highly suggest ordering the Logitech keyboard with trackpad. It’s reasonably priced and opens up use cases that would be otherwise done by a laptop. I’m not saying its a laptop replacement but you’d be surprised how it creeps into your workflow.

He did it with the 8th gen iPad. The 8th gen had zero problems editing and processing 4K video. The 9th gen having the a13 chip would make 4K editing a breeze.

[@truthseeker6804]

its gonna be fast, but if youre into video editing save extra and get the m1 ipad pro. i exported a 3 hour 4k video in 1 hour. but my hp laptop took 6 hours to export that same video. but if you do short 4k videos, it would be fast to export. if you cant get the m1 then the ipad 9 is a great deal.

[@TheSnoopyclone]

My biggest issue might be the 3gb memory. Currently have a gen 6, which is adequate for what I’m using it for, but notice that the 2gb is an issue at times. If it was 4gb it’ll probably be a big deal.

[@typhoon_8086]

the 3GB of RAM is actually pretty decent from the reviews ive heard on KZbin.

[@typhoon_8086]

@@bloxy_editz3534 the $330 IPad 9th Gen has the same Processor as in the $700 IPhone 11. Also, Apple provides at least 5-7+ years of OS Updates for all of it's IPads regardless of Price. Apple is NOT Samsung

[@Vikanuck]

I recently bought this iPad, and instantly noticed that it was probably the last one I’ll ever buy, as basically every other more expensive iPad is almost identical in performance to this one, it just has like, one or two more bells and whistles, including the ‘look’ of it, that they’re saying is worth hundreds more dollars… and to that I say suckmanuts!! Same with my Apple Watch. I bought the 7, then the 8 immediately came out, and everyone got that, then realized that they paid more for what we’re essentially two/three new features that they will never even use, especially if they aren’t divers haha 😂 They’re pretty much just the ‘I have the money to spend on this, even though I don’t know what I’m spending it on’ status symbol of the modern day lol.

[@slowercuber7767]

AMEN! I plan to replace my current IPA 2 with a base iPad 9 as soon as I recover from buying one of the new M1X MBP 16" monsters. Around that same time I'll be replacing my wife's ancient iPad with an iPad 9, too, though it may be over her protests, if the old device is still working .... hmmm that's an idea: "I'm sorry, dear, i was moving your old iPad and accidently dropped it out the window, in the rain, right as I was backing the car out and ran over it, but I got you a replacement, see? and it still even has that home button you like!" Think that would work?

I'm an Android and windows user but I do have a base model iPad, and I do agree that there isn't really an Apple tax anymore, these days it's their lower end models ( base iPad, iPhone 13 mini, iPad mini) that are their best models

why not both. i use ipad pro m1, and iphone and samsung phone. my samsung phone is my main phone. the ipad pro is my main tablet. i personally prefer samsung phones or any android really, but ipads are the best tablet bang for buck. this ipad 9 price is very good.

[@Panslapper]

Bigger bezels are better choice for me when dropping it into any pad slots on other hardware as the screen isn’t cut off, essential on some music software. No Jelly wobble when scrolling like the mini 6, I returned mine for this reason. The mini 6 was the first iPad I wanted to return. So I did and bought the 9th, fits better into iPad slots like the JBL Partybox series of speakers with no essential touch features cut off in the software from the slot. More comfortable to hold with bigger hands too…and no Jelly wobble!!

[@crosswhite17]

I still use the iPad 6 gen and it works great, so I am sure the 9 gen will be great.

[@bloxy_editz3534]

I have 6th gen to it’s good for browsing the internet and for light gaming like minecraft roblox and geometry dash

[@winterwoods6406]

Anybody please help me decide iPad 9 with 256gb or iPad Air 4th gen with 64gb? I'm gonna use it for procreate ( bcs i'm a beginner artist ), note taking, edit short videos, and maybe play genshin. Plus, i'm probably gonna be stuck with it for the next 5 years.

[@justbeingfrank3451]

Hello I would like to suggest a video idea. I am cut between an ipad 9 and a cheap laptop How would an ipad 9 compare to a laptop with the same price range or a little bit more. I want a device that is easy to carry, easy to use for editing videos, games, doing documents. I also want you to explain the pros and cons of each product.

[@digitdoll]

i just got it for my birthday a couple days ago. its AMAZING! im trying my best to make the battery life worthwhile and for that it depends on what you use. things like roblox / roblox with other background apps, could take up battery life, but editing apps such as alight motion is no problem! do I even have to say anything about how it performs? it's even beat my own pc at this point lmfao. i think that this should be enough for anybody, if necessary, go for the air! but i think that the ipad 9 is pretty capable of doing MANY tasks! the only thing you should be worrying about is which storage option you should get... lol

[@harrisontu264]

I’m shopping around, I want to buy an iPad for someone for Christmas. I’m debating on this one or The iPad Air. They will primarily be using it for attending zoom meetings, while at the same time being on a scoring website. We play trivia online, and she hast to do it from her phone which is not very good right now. Also, sometimes we play a game where we need to have two website tabs open, one for doing research and one for inputting things into the scoring site. Do you think this iPad is enough, or should I go for the air, or do we need a 12.9?

[@Lanerusher]

iPad will be more than enough. Go for the air only if you want the new design.
