Apple iPad (9th Generation): with A13 Bionic chip, 10.2-inch Retina Display, 64GB, Wi-Fi, 12MP front/8MP Back Camera, Touch ID, All-Day Battery Life – Space Gray

Bought this as a gift for my wife.The GoodShe loves it. Has all the bells and whistles. It looks good I have to admit.The BadBy the time you read this review a newer better version will be out. You can never keep up with evolving technology. Once you go Apple you can never go back. [FYI I hate apple products, so I am biased. ]The UglyI believe this does not have the 3.5 mm headphone jack [The removal of this is absolutely terrible] My wife doesn't care but as a tech nerd myself it pains me to see that happen. There was nothing wrong with leaving a head phone jack, but then again I am old school and prefer hard wired head phones.

I bought this as it was being phased out for the newer model and was debating between this and an iPad Pro, since I was replacing an outdated version of the Pro. Got this - it does everything we need it to do and also like the fact it uses the first generation Apple Pencil, which we already had, as well as the older charging port so we can use all of our old charging cords for this. Another perk of this older model is that it has the headphone jack - that is huge for us as we don't use wireless earbuds.Charges up faster than my old one - holds a charge very well. These things are more durable than one would expect, but we have been through 3 since kids were little and never a single scratch without ever using a screen protector!The iPad we replaced with this one was from 2016 and since they are supported for about 7 years we will get a good 4 years out of this one from when we purchased it. I got an incredible deal on Black Friday that made it impossible to pass up. Very glad I didn't get a newer model and then have to buy all the new blocks and cables...which also helps keep everyone else from steal my charging stuff since I use the newer USB-C cords! It's all about strategy!

I bought this to take notes with and this really made doing assignments so much more efficient. I really do like how I can use it as another screen with my laptop. I would say to buy this ipad if you want to try using an ipad for taking notes for college or for other reasons for the price. I've had this ipad for a semester and now I am looking at upgrading to either an ipad air or an ipad pro just for more storage and newer technology. I would say that this works best if you have a Mac as well. I also liked how I could buy an off brand apple pencil with this product and not have to pay more for the actual apple pencil.

Bought a gift for a 90 yr old. She’s very happy with it. Went Apple and they transferred everything from her very old iPad.

My wife loves it! Lots of storage, easy to use. Perfect for our Apple ecosystem

I recently got my hands on the Apple iPad (9th Generation), and it's been a dependable companion for my daily tasks. The A13 Bionic chip ensures smooth performance, whether I'm browsing, streaming, or using productivity apps. The 10.2-inch Retina display with True Tone offers vibrant visuals, making reading and watching videos a pleasure. I appreciate the 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage—it keeps me centered during video calls, which is a nice touch. While the design feels a bit dated with its Home button and Lightning port, the functionality it offers at this price point is impressive. The support for the first-generation Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard adds versatility, though I do wish it supported the newer accessories. Battery life has been solid, easily lasting me through the day. Overall, the iPad 9th Gen strikes a great balance between performance and affordability, making it a worthwhile purchase for anyone seeking a reliable tablet without breaking the bank.

Ordered for a gift - of course they liked it!

This works fine, as expected, but I do not like the AI chip because the questions I search now get inaccurate and/or irrelevant answers, which I guess will be our problem to figure out now, and not the fault of Apple.
