My previous iPad still operates [testimony to Apple’s amazing quality] but it is so old (2012 3rd Gen) it will only run a couple of the apps I enjoy using. I had stopped using it years ago and grew accustomed to using my iPhone and multiple Mac computers instead. However, several months back I decided to explore streaming music with a WiiM Pro and felt I needed a larger screen than my iPhone to control the WiiM and read about the music I was listening to via Qobuz. So I decided to get a new iPad but didn’t need a laptop replacement (i.e., lots of processing power), or cutting edge screen. And I wanted a “Goldilocks” size. At around $250 this 9th Gen iPad is a fantastic bargain.

It doesn’t have the heft or quality feel of my 3rd Gen, which is made out of steel, but it seems well put together. The screen is only a tiny, tiny bit better but for what I do the screen is fine. It’s plenty bright and responsive. And, of course, it runs every app I choose to use flawlessly. A few attributes blow me away, however. Even with what’s now a slightly older processor (A13) it is very fast. Battery life is staggering. This iPad is so satisfying, I have switched my usage away from my phone, and even my TV’s to it. It’s fantastic as a control device for the WiiM, great for recreational web surfing, and I have been using it as a display device for Xfinity Stream to watch local TV. It’s also perfect for watching YouTube videos.

It’s hard to emphasize enough what a screaming bargain this is now - mid 2013.

This Apple 🍎 iPad 9th generation is very competent and does everything I want it to do. I don’t do anything really super complicated with it (mostly streaming 🎥 movies, surfing 🏄‍♂️ the net, and of course, ✍️ writing product reviews 🤪😁😜😛😆) so it’s fine for my needs. Without a case, it’s just over a pound (so not that heavy). It has fast connectivity and is intuitively, user-friendly. The 👁️ retina display touchscreen is a pretty decent size at 10.2 inches (diagonally). The touchscreen is sharp, vivid, true to color, and very responsive. Also, this iPad came with a 20W USB-C power adapter, USB-C to lightning charge cable, and 3 months free Apple TV+. The Apple TV+ is great because I have been able to watch the ⚽️ soccer/football⚽️ show, Ted Lasso, for FREE. 👍😁👍 Score!!!!! ⚽️🥅⚽️ Apple 🍏 makes excellent, quality electronics, and this handheld computer is absolutely no exception. 👍🍏😃🍎 The only things I wish were different about this iPad are the slow charging speed and the battery drains a little faster than I would like. I use the iPad while it’s charging and that slows down the charging speed. I purchased this iPad for about $200 plus tax (free shipping, on sale, and had a gift card too). I would like to buy the 10th generation iPad, but it’s just too pricey and expensive for me. This is a much more budget-friendly option. Long story short, I really like this iPad and am very happy with this purchase. Because of its excellent qualities, it’s going to be very useful to me, and I think 🤔 it will last a long time. I am impressed by it and highly recommend it (especially if money is a factor). 👍🍏🤪❤️😃🍎👍🍏😎🤔🍏👍❤️😝⭐️🩷🍎👍

This is my first Apple device. I have always felt their products were overpriced. Now in our economy everything is overpriced. The iPad is the only Apple device that I have even considered purchasing. I have several other brand tablets/laptops but just couldn't pass this up because of the good price. After hearing people praise Apple devices over other brands, there was a lot of hype to live up to. Bottom line, it was a little underwhelming, because of the hype. Taking the device at face value though, this is an excellent device. The pros: the processor and the battery life. I've been using it for over a month. This is the entry level iPad 9th gen but the A13 bionic chip is fast and able to handle multitasking very easily. Granted I only use this device really for entertainment(games, watching videos), browsing the web, checking emails, so I don't use it all day/every day. The battery lasts me a couple of days without charging. Even after watching videos for several hours I still don't have to charge it. The bezels make holding the device easier without blocking the screen. And because of it's 4:3 aspect ratio compared to other tablets 16:10 it makes watching videos/reading a more pleasant experience. I did buy a third party pencil to use with it. It works well for taking notes, there is a audible tap when using the pencil. I don't have any cons-the gestures take some getting used to. I just prefer other brands gestures, they seem more intuitive and useful to me. The screen is nice but it's not noticeably better than any of my other devices. Again this is the entry level iPad so for the price I think this is an excellent device. It should be able to handle most things you throw at it. I recommend this product and I'm glad I bought it.

The Apple iPad 9th Generation is a reliable tablet with a bright, responsive display and smooth performance. It’s great for browsing, streaming, reading, and everyday tasks. A versatile device that’s easy to use and a good choice for both home and work.

I have had my iPad 9th Generation 64GB Wi-Fi since the end of November, 2022. It has been about 5 months. I upgraded from an iPad Air 2 32GB Wi-Fi (2014 model) that I had for almost 6 years! I have to say that there is a reason why Apple iPads are sold at such a premium price. That's because they provide valuable practical use for far longer than the vast majority of what is available in the tablet market.

With that said the 2021 iPad 9th Generation is a base iPad with a limited amount of fancy features and a dated iPad design. Quite frankly, I actually use my iPad on the go and all of the iPads I have had go directly into an Otterbox Defender case. So I hardly notice the little aesthetics in design when my iPads area always in an Otterbox Defender case.

I won't make this review long and will highlight the particular reason why I feel the need to write this review at all. I would say there's three top reasons why I believe the iPad 9th generation is excellent: 1. Good CPU performance/64GB base memory capacity, 2. Value pricing, and 3. Apple Pencil/Freeform.

1. CPU performance is good with the A13 CPU from the iPhone 11. I am confident that I will be able to use this iPad for at least 4 more years, if not 5. I bought my iPad Air 2 (2014 model) in 2016 and it was supported with OS updates up until iPadOS 15, which is a total of 8 years. But the iPad Air 2 was among the longest supported iPads in Apple's tablet history. So it is not likely to be repeated. But I think that the iPad 9th generation should be supported for at least 6 years, 2021 to 2027. Plus, the 64GB base capacity is excellent for my basic use of the iPad.

2. The pricing for the iPad 9th Generation 64GB retails at $329.99, but it is often for sale at $269.99. That's how much I purchased it for during Cyber Monday 2022. It has been on sale for as low as $249.99 at some other retailers as well. So overall, the pricing is very affordable for a device this capable with support for many years to come.

3. I know that the Apple Pencil has been out for years, but I have only now tried it. It was not supported with my iPad Air 2 (2014 model) and I never gave it much thought as being useful to me. I always thought that the Apple Pencil was geared towards artists, which to some extent it is. I tried the Apple Pencil on my iPad 9th Generation about a month after getting mine. It was a revolutionary experience for me. I have been looking for a viable substitute for a whiteboard for the longest time. But there is not any real replacement for what you can do on a whiteboard. The Apple Pencil with FreeForm is the closest that I've come to the experience I get on a whiteboard. Although, I do still use a 4'x8' whiteboard for some brainstorming sessions, the Apple Pencil has afforded me to do some basic brainstorming in FreeForm. This is a massive benefit and I can only see Apple getting better with its FreeForm app. Not to mention app developers releasing new apps to take advantage of the Apple Pencil for brainstorming on a virtual whiteboard.

Overall, I highly recommend the iPad 9th Generation.

This is a great little device. We needed a tablet that could run zoom and "virtual learning" things more smoothly than our daughter's fire tablet. We were also looking for something she can play Roblox on without all the glitches that comes with Fire tablets. We found this on sale for the same price as a Fire 10 which seemed like a steal, so we went ahead and got it. I am very glad, because it just runs a lot more smoothly in general than fire tablets (which is the only other type we've had for her). It seems to charge at a decent speed, and the battery holds for several days. Although she doesn't use it very frequently during the week so maybe if she used it more, it wouldn't last as long.

I will say shipping took forever. It was supposed to be a 1 week ship and it got delayed and took 2 weeks.

Also, a notice for android users: It was really hard for me to set up for a kids tablet. I do love that there are kid setting options, but setting it up was very confusing for me, as an android user. And thank goodness my wife is an apple girly, because it seems like it would be very hard to navigate the kids side on the parent account without another apple device. I am the tech setter-upper in the house, and I'm sure this was user error, but I ended up having to go through all my wife's accounts to set it up rather than my own. Also (in case you're not used to apples), it seems like you cannot set it up for an adult and then add the child account onto the same device, like you would be able to for a Fire. It has to solely be set up for that child and then managed on a second apple device.

Overall it works very well, looks shnazzy, serves all our purposes, and was a great price.

I’ve had this iPad for years. The set up was easy. It charges perfectly and hold a good charge. The condition was immaculate. The charging port had no debris or damage and it was in great condition. I had a very sleek appearance and the color made it look new. i’ve had this iPad for years and I’ve had zero issues. It is still fast and works great.

Upgraded from an IPad 2018 6th Generation to the Ipad 2021 9th Generation. As you can see in the picture the new Ipad is on the left, it is slightly bigger than the 6th gen IPad, and a little heavier.

Have used the 6th gen Ipad every day since I got it back in 2018 as a gift from a friend. And have really really enjoyed using it, never have had any problems with it. When I saw the new 9th gen was coming out I preordered wanting to upgrade, and was going to trade in the old 2018 ($150) but my wife wanted it so gave it to her instead. But she likes this one so much she is thinking of trading it in and getting a 9th gen as well.

This Ipad has 64gigs of storage instead of the 32gigs I was used to. Which is greatly appreciated!. I spend a lot of time on the beach with my Ipad, reading, listening to music, and occasionally watching a program or two. I now have more storage for the music and videos.

Now one of the main reasons I use the IPad is for my meetings for worship with the JW Library app and Zoom. JW Library has no lag. It's wonderful to use on this tablet. And I've used Zoom already a few times since I got this Ipad last week. And I can tell you the front facing camera upgrade is amazing, from the 1mp to 12mp you can notice a huge difference. And how the camera tracks you or you with your partner is a great feature we love!

I don't know what type of rear-facing camera the 6th gen had compared to this one but there is a huge difference. I added a couple pictures I took of a sunset and sunrise on the beach, and a video. I am astonished at the quality and the beauty of the pics with this IPad. I have literally taken dozens of pics already and you can see for yourself the quality.

Have also played around with some of the apps that came preloaded with it on OS 15 such as Imovies. Making a home movie, adding pictures, and effects, and music, is a breeze, the A13 processor has no problems whatsoever handling making the movies.

I downloaded the new show The Lost Symbol to try out this tablet. And I can tell you it is a great viewing experience while winding down at the end of the day before going to bed. I am glad it still has the headphone jack.

The True Tone technology on the screen leaves viewing the pictures taken and watching videos an amazing experience. This is a great technology that really shines through on this tablet.

I am super satisfied with this tablet and highly recommend it for its easy of use, and tons of awesome features and quality for the price. If you're wanting to take awesome pictures or videos, use it for meetings and video conferences, and reading, such as using the JW Library app.

A couple of other features more from the OS than the tablet itself I thought were worth mentioning. Having the Translate app on the home page. My wife is learning English and is always using this to translate messages she gets and sends all day, a great great feature! And the Background Sounds which can be activated and put on the control center through Accessibility and Audio Visual, and Background sounds. My wife turns this on every night to help her get to sleep.

10/10!

Gostei do produto, atendeu minhas expectativas e chegou muito rápido. Como não fiz uso contínuo não posso mensurar a durabilidade da bateria, mas me parece boa. Recebi há uma semana, o carreguei, fiz as configurações e está com 45% de carga. Meu uso é para escrever, tirar fotos e navegar, portanto, o custo-benefício é muito bom em relação ao Pro e ao Air, de maior valor. Atende perfeitamente às minhas necessidades.

Ótimo produto, original, com excelente desempenho e qualidade, como quaisquer outros produtos da Apple. Preço muito mais em conta que outros vendedores, inclusive com relação ao próprio site da marca. A transportadora superou as expectativas na entrega, chegando bem antes do prazo estabelecido (o que demorou foi quando passou para os Correios, mas, mesmo assim, chegou rápido).

I never had a problem with apple products, this ipad is very nice and very practical. Delivery was fast and packed well.

Review de uso por 2 meses:

- A tela dele é muito linda, macia ao toque, ele é rápido, é leve, é grande mas confortável. Ótimo pra estudar, pra ver série, fazer pesquisa. Os 64 GB de espaço dá pra usar tranquilo por muito tempo sem precisar apagar arquivos. Eu substituí o meu iPad Air 1ª Geração de 2014 com 16 GB de espaço que usei desde 2014 mesmo, e a diferença pra esse modelo aqui é ABSURDA!

- A bateria dura bastante. Como eu uso muito o iPad, eu tenho que recarregá-lo a cada 2 dias. Isso porque eu uso Instagram, Twitter, Podcasts, HBO Max, Prime Video, YouTube e aplicativos de notas para estudo na faculdade (além de pesquisas no Safari). O sistema diz que eu tenho uma média de 7h de uso diário. O recarregamento é muito rápido, vai de 10% a 100% em 40min~1h. Isso pra mim é rápido. Só recarrego novamente 2 dias depois. Pra mim dá muita segurança de que não me deixa na mão.

- Eu não tenho a Apple Pencil porque é MUITO cara, então comprei uma da GooJoDoq 12ª geração no Al1expr3ss, foi 94 reais, e ela é perfeita! É perfeito pra escrever. Única coisa que só a Apple Pencil tem é a sensibilidade de pressão. Quem for artista ou tiver objetivo de um iPad para desenho, talvez a falta de sensor de pressão para a caneta GooJoDoq faça diferença, então terá que comprar a Apple Pencil mesmo. Para mim, não faz diferença e a caneta é realmente MUITO boa.

- A câmera é boa, mas tem um filtro típico da Apple que não me agrada muito, deixa a cara um pouco lavada. Porém a tecnologia de Palco Central e desfoque do fundo nativo são realmente muito bons. Dá um aspecto mais profissional em ligações por vídeos. Os microfones também são excelentes, dando opções para isolamento de voz, que retira todo o ruído em volta e foca só na sua voz. É incrível isso.

- Um ponto negativo desse iPad é o sensor de pressão digital não ser muito rápido e só funcionar com a tela acordada. Então você tem que apertar um botão pra ligar a tela e então colocar o dedo no sensor pra desbloquear. É uma inconveniência, que dentro de todas as qualidades desse iPad eu acho que é só um grão na areia.

- Por fim, eu paguei 2700 em Março/2022, pela loja Tech Play Store. Recomendo a loja, a entrega foi rápida e o iPad é realmente novo, lacrado, com garantia oficial no site da Apple.

Estou usando há anos. Ótimo, prático, leve, perfeito para estudar em lugares remotos ou assistir série também. Perfeito para quem está estudando para concurso ou algo do tipo
