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.

I personally bought the 9th gen iPad mostly due to the increased storage. 64 GB is perfect for me and I don't have to pay extra for more storage (which I would have done on the iPad 8th gen because 32 GB is not enough imo).

[@NewtonTzn]

Is 64gb worth it? Because imma buy one too and im thinking of that iOS takes up to 5 to10gb of system storage so im only gonna get 50 something gigs if i get the 64gb 😭

@@NewtonTzn for me it’s enough.If you work much on things like video or photo editing or if you’re making music I’d consider the 256 GB but for games or just content consumption 64 GB should be enough. Just ask yourself what you wanna do and what apps you wanna install before you make your decision and if you are very close to completely filling the 64 GB maybe consider the 256 GB

Textbooks and notes usually take up less than a few MB's. I started using a first-gen Ipad Pro 11inch with 64GB since my first year of medicine, I'm on my third year and still haven't run unto storage issues.

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 just really love my iPad 8th Generation & Apple Pencil. The rose gold color is really beautiful. Everything is perfect functioning. The only reason I need to let it go because I need more storage. 💔

[@samopp1410]

Hey @Tech Gear Talk do you recommend ipad 9th gen for work? virtual desktops?

[@phonetechthinh8382]

True tone display is also a great improvement

[@minav4130]

Hello, excellent video, I want to ask, for a student who initially wants to take notes, download books and minimal office tasks, the 64 GB iPad 9 will be fine, or is it necessary to go for the 256 GB one?

[@pipiesespipi]

64gb is fine

[@iosgamingshorts247]

Any idea on this situation: I have an old iPad Pro 9.7 inch (A9X chip). I know that the new iPad has a A 13 chip but I want to make sure its a BIG jump since I will be going from a pro to the normal iPad. I know it's been a while and I use my iPad for gaming and drawing (I have the Apple Pencil 1st edition). Think this would be a good jump?

[@Joe-ka]

Im still using my ipad 2 to this day(which my grandma gifted me two weeks after its release) , those old ipads are beasts, i only use it now for E-books tho , are the new ipads good as the old ones? Im thinking about getting the ipad 9. It would be a huge update.

[@machfront]

I’ve an iPad 8, after having had an iPad 6. However I still have my old iPad 2. I recently revisited it to make it a dedicated ebook and gaming pdf reference device. Though the old 2 could absolutely perform for such a small, simple task, even my previous iPad 6 would be a shocking and eye-opening upgrade for someone coming from such an older iPad. Get the newest, or the 8 depending on your needs and budget. You’ll be absolutely overjoyed by what is given you, the user, in the experience. Plus…yes…the ‘regular’ iPads are still quite tough, physically. Good luck finding deals and enjoy. 🙂

[@Joe-ka]

@@machfront thank you so much for your reply, i made up my mind to get the ipad 9 with the 64 gigs storage (cheaper than the 8 with 128 storage) , but i have to wait until i save some cash for it . I guess my ipad2 will retire soon ,the best and most reliable peice of technology i had in my entrie life.

[@rkenw996]

I have used an iPad 2 as an ereader with Amazon’s Kindle app or Apple’s Books app. Especially prefer the book covers of my library in color rather than the grayscale display of my Kindle Paperwhite ereader. Another feature I love on these older iPads is the way it lists all my purchased apps on the AppStore rather than the awful, limited month by month list Apple shows with the newer iPad OS’s.

[@rkenw996]

P.S. bought the 64GB iPad 9 last week and am delighted with the blazing fast web browsing, 10 hours + from its battery. Since purchasing the iPad Air 1 i, have also had the Air 2 and Air 3 but, could not justify the much higher prices of the newer Airs. As my primary uses for an iPad are KZbin, eMail, eReader, music player, Notes and Photos album my new iPad 9 is FANTASTIC and highly recommended for anyone wanting a great tablet at a reasonable price.

[@Joe-ka]

@@rkenw996update! i bought the ipad9 also but went for the 256 model, its awesome and fast and i love it!

[@johnhall1962]

Do you think I could get away with 64GB of storage, for light use? Many thanks

[@TechGearTalk]

If you're not downloading a lot of movies, huge games, or shooting video, yes.

[@-RadoxMedia-]

I am considering buying this iPad 9 generation. Could you make video how you edit pictures with it? Is it good enough for using Lightroom or Photoshop? Is possible to edit RAW pictures from external drive ? Or you need iPad Pro for this ?

[@nithinsreeniketh7154]

Hi, Could you suggest which is the better option, Sony ZV E10 OR A6400??

[@danielsherk7376]

Do you think it is worth it to up from an iPad 7? I use it for games, Netflix, notes, and pro create

[@garden0fstone736]

I went from 7-8 and noticed 0 difference. Seems like still a minimal jump to the 9. Sounds like the benefit of switching would be more memory

[@Ghazkul666]

You mentioned hooking up a USB-C drive to the ipad mini and edit video from it. Is it doable on the ipad 9? With an usb-c hub ofcoz

[@jits1]

I have the original IPad Air and it works fine. Is it worth for me to upgrade, thanks

[@TechGearTalk]

That's awesome Jay! (I wish I still had the original). My question would be, what are you upgrading for? If you're looking for a device that's faster and more powerful, yes. If you just want something new - yes. Unless the new gear provides additional benefit to you - no. Hope that helps.

[@jits1]

@@TechGearTalk Many thanks Sigi

[@smashdatlikebutton6192]

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.

[@johnv3662]

I have the 7th generation do you think I should upgrade to the mini or keep my 7th generation?

[@Fraden7]

Hi Sagi did I miss something dont you usually do a review of the new product before you release these type of videos comparing them ?? In other words shouldn’t we have gotten a iPad 9 review before this video ?!! Great video as always just a bit confused tho.

[@TechGearTalk]

Good question. I have it done, but chose to publish this one first. I'll be putting out the full review soon. Very perceptive of you.

[@kdfrancisco]

Can you do IPad 9th Gen vs. iPad Air 4 for your next content? I cannot decide which one I should get for uni

[@user-hardbrain]

haven't upgraded our iPad since iPad 2 so this will be a good option for me.

[@garden0fstone736]

Wait till black friday

[@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!

[@mharcsolano7812]

Sir how about an ipad air vs ipad 9th gen review. Still undecided which one to buy. Planning to do digital arts and a lot of note taking.

[@emanharis4575]

What memory should I go for if I'm using it for note taking,downloading worksheets,notes or books. And youtube for content consumption? Is 64gb enough or should I go for 128gb 8 gen?

[@gustavosantilli4507]

What about upgrading from iPad 7 to iPad 9?

[@user-fxw6k7da4]

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

[@akshatgupta1671]

hello..... can you please make a video comparison between iPad 9 and iPad Air 4....... It would really help me decide

[@noahmatossequeira]

Wow thank you for the comparation God bless u Big fan of u I wish I had the iPad pro 😁😍

[@radinam.k8722]

Thankyou for explaining this :D

[@tiki4736]

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

[@J_pritchett]

Good review man 👍🏻

[@SM-bk9xu]

Can u tell me, how much storage takes the system in ipad 9 -64 GB variant? How much will be available to deal with??.

[@Mahalakshmikorea]

Hi I'm from india I thought of buying ipad 8 but after seeing this video I will go for ipad 9 my first ipad thanks man

[@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!

[@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

[@TechGearTalk]

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

[@longnguyenthe6652]

Your iPad's wallpapers look aesthetic. How can I get it?

[@francoseah]

iPad 8 128GB or iPad 9 64GB price is just S$30 difference..

[@Larutus]

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

[@indianwarriors8086]

I wanna know like u told us about storing data In a pen drive it was compatible or iPad 9 compatible?
