I bought a 9 because I use wired headphones, I like the home button, and it runs everything I need. I even like the bigger bezels as it gives me more room to hold it securely. The USB would be nice, but I don’t need it.
@@pingu9656 Yeah the stereo speakers are a dealbreaker but just use a good pair of headphones and the built in speakers despite being 2, is loud enough.
A year ago, I go the 9 for about $200. It was an upgrade from the 6 I used for years. I just use it for YT when I have projects or cooking to do. It works for what I need it for.
Amazon had the 9 for $199, BUT the 10 was $259! There is a display difference is better on the 10. It has a Liquid Crystal Display vs the 9 which has the Retina Display. The 10 has better speakers, USB-C, Bigger Display ( 10.9 ) and the A-14 chip vs the A-13 on the 9. so for $59 more, I bought the 10! 😎 Don’t get me wrong though, the iPad 9 is definitely the BEST Classic iPad ever made! 👍
@@alexwrLiquid Crystal is not Apple’s marketing that’s just the name of the type of display. All tablets under $300 have the same tech. Apple’s markets it as Liquid Retina. 😂😂😂😂
@@quokka7555 this is incorrect. It may use LEDs in the backlight, but it is in fact a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). OLED screens don't need a backlight, but LCDs do, hence why the iPad 10 has a backlight. They started marketing them as Liquid Retina for the XR and 11 phones as well, and they are definitely LCD displays.
I had the iPad 9. It was a very solid tablet. Great for media consumption and light video and photo editing. I recently got a Galaxy Tab S9 for a change as it was on sale plus I’m trading in another device.
I got the iPad 9 back when it was the newest version of the base model, and it’s still my go to device for notetaking and study work. And it’s an amazing content machine. At the time, it was already one of the best deals in tech… and now that it’s even less expensive… yeah that’s some real value there. Although it’s more of a pain to get Paperlike screen protectors than it used to be… but it’s still possible so it’s still worth it for artist and notetakers should they want a more affordable option.
The best part about owning this iPad is not being scared to toss it around, using it in the kitchen while washing dishes, and seeing the back of the iPad shine in all its glory with the old version of the apple folio case. 🍏
I just purchased the iPad Pro 10.5 from 2017 with cellular data 512gb rose gold $193 I h@ve to use it as a giant phone right now with google voice because my 11 pro max can’t charge without a wireless charger and that’s very inconvenient right now. I got iPad OS 17 upon first boot so that was cool obviously that’s the last one that it will receive outside security updates it’s buggy the battery does what it wants but idk I love this thing I almost want to get another one but I need to go back to a phone soon been an interesting experience.
I bought mine from colleague spring 2022 when it was still new-ish and still use it on daily basis its great but i wonder if there is more games on newer ipad app stores..as on 9th store aint no new major games coming out..all i play atm is cod mobile and asphalt
iPads last. I still have the first generation iPad and it works to this day. The battery lasts about 2 hours and no apps work but it still works nonetheless. I saw the 9 on Amazon for only 200. It had 10s of thousands of reviews and hardly any were 1 star reviews but I really don't like being trapped in the whole "Apple Ecosystem". That's the only downside. Otherwise they're perfect.
I have a 2nd Gen. iPad Mini which makes a beautiful wall clock. Almost all apps refuse to work with it any more ("Upgrade your iPad") but the "Wall Clock" app still works fine...
Excuse me Brian (from fishbee productions). Are people buying the Tab S9 more considering the Tab S10 doesnt exist? I mean im one of those people that bought the Tab S9 at a much discounted price. Im curious to hear your thoughts
falls flat on gaming if they need more than 3gbs of ram, a good bit do, and will either crash or say the device is low on memory and it will crash soon, apple needs to up their ram game
200 bucks for a new iPad is a really good deal, I would’ve sprung for the 10th generation for 60 more dollars there is just too many improvements and upgrades
The truth is screen quality. I have the a7 lite and the a9 and a9 plus. I’ll use the iPad Pro 9.7 screen over those two any day to watch movies. I like the Samsungs but it’s hard to beat the iPads screens.
No, trust me, it’s not going to be better than the budget Galaxy Tabs. This one only has 3GB of RAM. Even my iPad 10th gen, with 4GB of RAM, often reloads pages if I open multiple tabs in Safari. So, the difference in RAM really does matter. Plus, this one only has 64GB of storage. Processing power isn’t everything, RAM and storage play a huge role too
You don't need very fast latest Ipads/Iphone, IOS is a locked system (wallgarden) that faster chip doesn't matter anymore. Although the only innovation Apple does is creating powerful chips, but still can't do anything with a very limited OS/IOS. Very 🤡 in my opinion. 🤣 Just buy the 4-5yr old releases and it still will have the same (unnoticeable milisecond difference) performance experience.
64 GB in 2024 doesnt make any sense even if you want to buy it for cheap. If you dont want to install more than 10 apps, and only work with note taking, yet its good tablet. But if you want it for content consumption, you need to buy some external storage/memory card. And Games is no no because it doesnt have much storage
If you can get a good deal on iPad 10 then it probably would make sense to go for this instead of the 9th gen. More RAM, faster processor, updated WiFi, more modern look (although not important to everyone), and a device that will have longer support. In some cases it may only be a $50-60 difference (or even less) if you can get the right deal.
My mom broke her iPad Air 3. As she's a basic user, her needs are not very demanding. I opted for the most affordable option available, so the iPad 9 should suffice for now. Essentially, the iPad 9 mirrors the iPad Air she had, with Touch ID and 64GB of storage. There's no point in paying extra for the newer design and features of the 10th generation if she doesn't care for or need them.
@Gggrrrrrrrr23 The rest of the population doesn't pixel peep like us nerds so it doesn't really matter. Apple still sell iPhone 16 with 60hz displays yet they still tons of their regular iPhone line. The same could be said about the number of old Apple products still being sold. Even though the Apple store no longer sells the Macbook Air M1, Walmart carries the Macbook Air M1.
@@tamwilfred I don't pixel peep but the light glare and sunken display from non laminated displays compared to modern laminated displays is pretty obvious. Im not sure why apple still use non laminated displays in iPads when everyone else stopped using the over a decade ago now and the last iPhone to have a non laminated display was the iPhone 3GS back in 2009.
It's straightforward; Apple aims for profit. As long as it's feasible, they'll keep selling products with substantial profit margins even it's older tech that we as techies would never buy. It might be the older demographic. My mom falls into the senior citizen category. She's content as long as she can play her mobile games. Many who aren't tech-savvy are satisfied with a device that allows them to watch videos, check emails, and play games. This is also why budget devices, such as Amazon Fire tablets, are popular.

I Had My iPad 9 For 2 Years Now & It Still Works Awesome
iPad 9’s dealbreaker to me is the lack of landscape stereo speakers.
@@pingu9656 Yeah the stereo speakers are a dealbreaker but just use a good pair of headphones and the built in speakers despite being 2, is loud enough.

Same games as other iPads
How about the Software update the iPad OS 18.? Some says it’s buggy in iPad 9 so i decided not to update it
i haven't had a problem with mine but i usually like to wait till bugs are worked out on most of my devices before updating
U should review the honor magicpad 2
I have 7th gen. I don’t know if I should upgrade or not.
this will feel pretty similar, if yours is working good, you might want to wait for the new ipad 11 or ipad 10 will be on sale most of the time
I love the headphone jack! I love using my wired headphones!!! If the newer iPads had one I would buy a newer model.
I use to have the 9 it’s a great low budget iPad
hello pleek help me.... is this still good if buy it next year maybe in february? im more on studying and not really a gamer...
get 10th
get an air 4, it has the same chipset as the 10th but only the air 4 supports pencil 2
Get the iPad 10th generation or even the iPad air m2. Will last you for a long time. Don't have to worry about upgrading for so many years
All ipad's are the same. Limited.
depends what you need it to do
I’ve still got a 6th gen that I use at home
Not much difference. I'll hang on to my 2 year old old 9th Gen until Gen 11 comes out. Hopefully Gen.11 will be a Quantum Leap improvement.
this or samsung s9 fe? not that i have money now, but maybe soon 😅

If you're buying it for heavy games, please dont: the ram will not hold up at all.
i would mention which games your playing so others know
Mine holds up great. And do heavy music production and video editing. No issues with mine
