Ultimate iPad Buying Guide for Students (2023)

[@popcorn101cheese5]

I think this summarizes it: Affordable -> ipad 9 Less affordable, nice online meetings via middle camera -> ipad 10 Heavy studying -> iPad Pro 12.0” On-the-go light studying/ not-taking -> iPad mini Kind of a mixture of everything -> iPad Air

[@sistersfuntube1079]

Also if ur rich then iPad pro

I’m thinking of getting an iPad for college. I’m going into my last semester of undergrad and then plan on going to grad school. I’m a math major/statistics double major. The iPad 10th gen 256gbs is the same price as the iPad Air 5th gen. Since they’re the same price should I get the air instead ?

Upgraded from a 2017 10.5 iPad Pro to a 11 M1 iPad Pro and I love it. It was 350€ cheaper than the M2 iPad and still very very fast.

just traded my ipad pro 12.9 2017 to s23u. its not that i dont like it but i already experienced whats gonna happen when apple devices stopped recieving ios updates. apps wont run anymore and ipad pro 2017 being almost near its end i had to trade it in asap. i might get ipad pro m2 when m3 comes out😂

[@vithouthon7967]

I will go for the iPad mini.Because its not heavy I like the fact that it’s small and it has it’s own flash.

[@stmichale6192]

iPad 9 is my iPad. I’m using it for short term classes to better myself as a plumber through my union hall. So all I do is use a certain app and maybe take a few notes. Not spending the extra money for something im not going to be using all the time. To each their own if you have the fancier iPads congratulations hope you get the most out of your investment for your particular need.

[@seancurry6052]

I’d recommend getting an older used or refurbished iPad Pro 2018, 2nd gen pencil, and a Logitech Combo Touch. My only problem is that it needs a bigger footprint, so it’s not great to type on a small desk. iPads 10 is simply not worth it and lacks too many of the pro features.

I think The iPad 9 offers a great balance of performance and affordability with its A13 Bionic chip and competitive price. Its sleek design, support for the Apple Pencil, and access to the App Store make it a versatile and attractive option for a wide range of users. Plus, Apple's commitment to software updates ensures long-term value. But you get what you think you need😅😊 and thank you for reading this whole thing😊❤

[@JDDoug6930]

The iPad mini is a really solid device to use when there is a computer of any type. It’s hard to beat for everything that would essentially be iPad. I highly recommend the mini even though it is two years old. If one can wait for the iPad mini 7, I think this would be the most excellent choice for students… with a computing device.

[@JonahCBR]

Watched the video. Definitely think the Ipad 9 is the best possible iPad to use as a TABLET. Video editing on an ipad really? Ipad 9 does 100% of what a tablet should do, like checking email, taking notes, using apps as a second screen experience on the couch. Basically handles anything I would need when away from my LAPTOP.

iPad Pro 6th gen m2 chip 12.9 inch space grey 128 gb is the one I have now

[@WalJu]

IMO unless the budget is the constraint, no one should get the 9th gen. 10th gen should be the base, Air should be the most popular, and Pro should be the high-end. For how old the design is and the features, I just don’t think it’s worth it considering you can get so much more with the 10th gen. Then the Air is just so much ahead of that one.

if i had infinite money i wouldnt be buying the 12.9 inch, id get the 11 inch its just way too close to a laptop the point I could just get a touch screen laptop with better specs (except processor probably) for cheaper

Students shouldn't look beyond the iPad 9. It's by far the least expensive iPad, and does everything the more expensive iPads do. You make way too much of case design and laminated glass. It has no effect on utility. Speaking of utility, the money saved getting the iPad 9 can go toward paying their utility bills, instead of wasting it on stuff like newer design and laminated glass.

Not sure if I should buy an Ipad or an iPhone as a student. Any ideas or advice?

[@mauddescamps7572]

it depends of your major and what you do. I used macbook air and my 1stgen ipad but I have barely used my iphone for my studies (except for language apps to review my vocabulary). I don't care about the latest gen iphone, I am good with refurbished iphone SE. I even complained that at work they proovided me with the latest model of iphone as I had an older one (I couldnt keep the old one). The latest was too big and too much for what I needed (the face id was an annoyance too). I had a tablet so such phone was way too redudant (I hate redudancies). If you don't major in a creative department (social science, stem etc), don't get an iphone but instead an ipad as you can study and read comfortably without killing your wrists or neck (like with a laptop or smartphone). However, advance phone can be interesting in a work setting when you don't have a tablet (I worked also aborad and my iphone 6 was my portable office). So think about what you want to do (take note, read pdf --> ipad , basic tasks such as scanning and checking your schedule + emails + quid read --> iphone). You can also go both by getting a refurbished iphone which is cheaper (and better for the environment) as newer iphones are not worth the hype for student or people that don't require the best camera and the biggest screen out there. I addition don't keep a phone as long as a tablet (I kept my tablet 10 years). so you can get a cheap iphone and an ipad air 4 (because of the pen, I am considering on getting the air 4 with the biggest GB rather than the 64GB, I don't game anymore and I want it to be able to write notes, read and study - there is always stuff to study ;) ). I hope it helps.

Thanks for the vid!...I really like it cuz' for me I'm the one who cannot deceide what to choice when I'm in the story & I hot there 5x times and couldn't deceide cuz' I tryed to collect more money to buy something more expensive & good for a long-distance that I can use. I'm personally Samsung user but the thing is that I'm sceptical about battery and by far I know my phone dies fast that I have to carry around Battery Backpack with me all the time. Also I wanted to try the iPhone cuz' already I skipped two verision of Samsung Galaxy serie cuz' I don't see it as a need for a huge upgrade beside the cameras so not so important for me as I don't use it often. As for a tablet that I need I wil probably end up buying iPad as you literally charge it and you forgat as it is cuz' battery optimization & iOS is a beast and no lagging & bugs + you invest in iPad Idk €1500 and for the next 4-5 years you get iOS updates which I like cuz' with Android only like 1-2 years and you're done with New Android Futures...so...yeah... I'm the one who used a lot Android phones but sometimes maybe you want to change cuz' both sides between Apple & Samsung... each side has some advantages that you can't compare against the each brand cuz' you will be literally making ground & clouds togather and there is huge difference between Android & iOS as it is. 😅😊🫠
