WHY PAY MORE!? iPad 9 vs iPad 8

Should you buy the iPad 9 or the iPad 8? Should you upgrade from the iPad 8 to the iPad 9? The iPad 9 is BETTER than the iPad 8 - there’s really no question about it. BUT, assuming you can get the iPad 8 for LESS, is it still worth getting the 9? And also, are there ANY REASONS why some people may WANT to upgrade from the iPad 8 to the 9?
Looking at the design, these two iPads are essentially identical. They have the same body, same size display, and the same volume controls and power button. A few minor differences are that the iPad 8 is available in Rose gold and that the Silver iPad 8 comes with white bezels instead of the black ones on the iPad 9. Other than that, they look the same. And personally, I think I like the black bezels better because the air gap - which I’ll talk about later - is less noticeable.

Hi. I just got the iPad nine and I noticed that the bezel is a little different even though the iPad is the same shape. It’s much thinner than the iPad eight and it’s not as clunky as the iPad eight. The iPad nine is also a lot lighter than the iPad eight I’ve noticed. As somebody who is blind and autistic that’s something that I do notice because my other senses are heightened. I got the iPad nine because the headphone jack on the iPad eight broke. My group home staff noticed that the iPad nine doesn’t have as much basil and he even agrees with me that it’s a little center. I think it’s a lot nicer and the speakers compared to the iPad eight do sound really nice more like a standard laptop or like my phone. I like that. And I like that it has clear sounding speakers like my iPhone 11 and works pretty much the same so far I’ll be at bigger.

I have the 8 and I yeat the 9 at Costco. Both have thr retina but the 9 feels way better. To tap on than the 8, this is important. For mobile music production.

[@aoi6307]

Still can't decide which one to buy, ipad 9 or ipad mini 6. I'll just use it for gaming, watching videos and browsing web.

[@Costanziator]

Go for the ipad mini it's more portable and it will last you longer because of the chipset

[@TechGearTalk]

I've got this comparison coming soon!

[@jaydalovesu]

getting this for my bday for roblox and netflix on august 30 can’t wait

[@jonasxrblx9810]

it should be great for both of that:) i have the 9th gen and i never lag on roblox

[@lol-ge9bh]

Its terrible

[@Factit77]

I like ipad 9 just for center stage camera feature

[@POTUS-ob5yb]

I have 8th gen and I’m satisfied with it, playing PUBG, CODM, LOLM, MLBB and GENSHIN IMPACT is super smooth like butter no lags and fps drop at all!

[@tiki4736]

Is iPad 9 worth it for 4 years? Gaming and school

[@melindapermatasari8232]

Its good to get ipad 9 for my first ipad?

[@peirato]

Definitely

[@ainajmy]

hi! i don’t know if you would notice this but i’m a student and i’m contemplating on whether to buy ipad air 4 or ipad 9th gen, it would be great if you could give your honest opinion about this!

[@ultimobert]

In my country they removed iPad 8 from the shelves and only sell 9.

[@noahmatossequeira]

Great video. Thank you!

[@crftieph]

tbh, if apple release an ipad without camera I wouldn't mind since I barely use it lol If that would make it even cheaper then it would be awesome

[@shivamgautam2978]

Hey brother I have ordered my ipad 9 gen is coming soon...i am so excited....

[@Brownrebel]

Do you think the iPad 8 is worth it if I can get it for $150? It's literally for streaming, web browsing and using social media lol

[@jonasxrblx9810]

absolutely. thats a steal for $150

[@1988shyam]

Please use it with MS office with both 9 and mini and tell us how it is

[@Teejaye1100]

Very good video, what Starwars game was that you were playing?

[@ActorshripadSahane]

I love the iPad I need as a Laptop replacement Because PC are so expensive and I’m on a budget Thx 😊 for the review

You are very welcome - hope you enjoyed it!!!

[@gustavosantilli4507]

What about upgrading from iPad 7 to iPad 9?

[@user-fxw6k7da4]

Massive performance upgrade. Not 100% necessary but it’s worth it

[@J_pritchett]

Good review man 👍🏻

[@sauravverma]

Ipad 9 & Ipad 8 Or even iPhone 12 pro/Max or 12pro & Max.. they're all sold at the same price in India.. previous generations has same price here 🙃

[@magmaboy4641]

i will probably get the ipad 8 because i can get it on ebay or something for only 350 euro with 128 gb storage. i think this is better then to pay over 400 on a ipad 9

[@noahmatossequeira]

I have the iPad 8 gen It's not that great Anyways Thank you for the comparation God bless you Have a great day

[@flawlessfatality8105]

The laminated display is overrated trust me, it’s now a big deal. Same with pro motion

[@Denvermorgan2000]

Thanks for clearing that up about the display i heard that it was laminated too i almost went and bought one.

[@triciasroll]

this video is the reason why i'm buying the 9 :> thank you so much for this review!

So glad it was helpful. Thank you for being part of the channel!

These days a refurbished 8 from APple goes for 350 with 128gb storage, so me that makes for a sweet deal!

[@neilchristianauman8508]

Great video! 👏👏

[@user-rk3ub8ql5d]

My only curiousity is how it navigate, did it still use the old school way to change tasks like only using the button or does it also have full screen gesture,??

[@Lol-rv5bv]

You can use both the home button and full screen gestures. There’s no setting you need to activate you just do it out of the box. Like there’s nothing you need to do to activate the gestures or home button. I sometimes use the gestures on my ipad 8, or i sometimes use the home button

[@GLITCH-qr3xb]

What are your expectations for the regular ipad gen 10? Will it be worth the wait?

[@zerotwo8490]

Same question M barely holding on Would wait if they'll change the lightning port

[@GLITCH-qr3xb]

@@zerotwo8490 I didn't heard any leaks so far bro ! If there is complete design update, then will cost more definitely!!

[@KentReynolds]

I hear that a non laminated display is better with the apple pencil as you can get white marks on the screen by pressing too hard with the pencil in addition if you break the screen its more expensive to fix a laminated display as you cannot just replace the glass
