I found the A13 processor provides a speed boost over last year's model without any noticeable slowdowns, even when multitasking and playing games. The doubled 64GB base storage is also much appreciated. The 10.2" screen now features True Tone but otherwise remains the same as before - decent but not as nice as pricier iPads. One benefit is the improved 12MP front camera with Center Stage cropping for FaceTime calls. Other hardware like the chassis, speakers, and battery life stay identical to prior versions. - Engadget |

I found the design unchanged after 5-6 years, with big bezels that seem outdated compared to the newer iPad Airs. I enjoyed the smooth experience and versatility whether browsing, watching media, or using Apple Pencil. The accessories make it great for students on a budget. However, I don't think iPadOS allows it to fully replace a laptop for intensive tasks like video editing. The big bezels seem overdue for a refresh, though I appreciate keeping Touch ID. The new 12MP front camera improves selfies and FaceTime. - Karl Conrad |

We think the new iPad OS 15 interface looks a bit odd with the extra padding around app icons, so we suggest changing to larger icons in Settings. The Apple Pencil and a Logitech stylus working well for drawing on the new iPad. The new 12MP front camera with Center Stage to boost video call image quality. -FishBee Productions |

Pros: - Doubled 64GB base storage - True Tone display adds comfort, though screen otherwise unchanged - Improved 12MP front camera with Center Stage cropping for FaceTime - Supports Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard - Smooth experience browsing, watching media, using Apple Pencil Cons: - Design unchanged after 5-6 years, large bezels seem outdated - Display decent but not as nice as pricier iPads - Lack of trackpad makes extensive typing and multitasking more difficult |
In a world of ever-evolving tech, Apple's 9th generation iPad stands out for budget-conscious consumers seeking a powerful tablet. Released in September 2021, this entry-level device makes a statement with its impressive specifications and a price tag that won't break the bank.
Performance
Under the hood, the iPad boasts the formidable Apple A13 Bionic chip, delivering a significant speed boost over its predecessor.
My hands-on experience revealed seamless multitasking, smooth gaming, and snappy responsiveness, thanks to the Hexa-core processor. The A13 chip is a game-changer, especially for a tablet in this price range.
Storage Upgrade: A Welcome Change
Storage matters, and Apple recognizes this. The base storage has doubled to 64GB, addressing one of the common pain points for users who felt constrained by the previous 32GB configuration.
This move is a nod to practicality and user convenience.
Display Dynamics
The 10.2-inch Retina IPS LCD display remains a staple, providing a canvas for a variety of activities. The addition of True Tone is a subtle but appreciated enhancement, contributing to a more comfortable viewing experience.
The pixel-packed 2160 x 1620 resolution ensures clarity, though the display might not match the brilliance of pricier iPad models.
Front and Center: Camera Improvements
One notable upgrade comes in the form of the improved 12MP front camera with Center Stage cropping for FaceTime calls. Selfies and video calls receive a boost, aligning the iPad with modern communication needs.
The 8MP rear camera ensures competent photography, though the absence of a flash might disappoint some users.
Powerful Features, Sensible Omissions
The iPad encompasses various sensors, including a Touch ID-equipped fingerprint scanner, accelerometer, gyro, compass, and barometer.
Apple's decision to retain the 3.5mm jack and include stereo speakers adds to the device's versatility.
Software Symphony: iPadOS 15
Running on iPadOS 15, the tablet embraces several new features. Quick Note, designed for Apple Pencil users, facilitates seamless note-taking during web browsing or map exploration.
Safari tab groups aid in organizing open sites, contributing to a more streamlined user experience.
However, some features like Focus modes may require additional time for users to fully customize to their preferences.
The 9th generation iPad proves its mettle as a budget marvel, offering compelling features at an affordable price. For students on a budget or mainstream users seeking a reliable tablet, the iPad delivers an impressive performance.
However, for those eyeing a laptop replacement for intensive tasks like video editing, some compromises may be felt.
