Why you should buy the Apple iPad 9th Gen

Despite a 2021 release date, which makes it relatively old by today’s tech standards, the ninth-generation Apple iPad remains in our list of the best iPads as the top choice if you’re on a budget. While its A13 Bionic chip is outdated, as it’s the same processor of Apple’s iPhone 11 series that was launched in 2019, it’s still pretty fast and capable for the average user, especially since the tablet can be upgraded to iPadOS 17 . You’ll have access to the features and improvements in the latest version of Apple’s operating system for its tablets, including new lock screen customizations, the addition of the Health app, and updates to Messages and Facetime, among many others.

The ninth-generation Apple iPad is also known as the iPad 10.2, as it’s the last model that features a 10.2-inch Retina display. The touchscreen is bright and colorful, perfect for using apps, playing mobile games, and watching streaming shows . For a productivity boost, you can use the tablet with the first-generation Apple Pencil and the Smart Keyboard, which are sold separately.
