    Worth every penny! I bought this with the intentions of having another piece of technology. But it is really a work of art. You can use it for movies, taking notes, editing, work, almost anything on a perfect sized screen. It’s fast, it stays charges for days, and can fit into a lot of places. The performance is excellent. Worth every penny.

    Most Bang for the Buck, for sure...

    Of all the iPads that came out in 2022, this is by far the most bang for the buck. It has the feature where the front-facing camera follows you for FaceTime calls, Zoom, etc. It also comes with the fast charger (USB-C on the plug end). It now starts @ 64GB of memory (which is plenty for me) & has TruTone display (really nice feature). At $329 (you can get it for $299 on sale), you can't beat it. The other iPads seem to be so overpriced for the small difference in performance / features. I would say the only negative is that the speakers aren't the greatest on this IPad, but honestly I either use my bluetooth headphones or a Bose bluetooth speaker, which makes that a non-issue. BestBuy in Cuyahoga Falls was a great help getting this IPad for me along with an Otterbox Defender Pro case. A perfect combination...

    Love my iPad, it works great and there are many features! The battery life is long, I charge it at night and it last all day long no problem, My last iPad lasted me 4 years and that was with everyday use, the battery wasn't holding a charge and I decided to just purchase another iPad! Protect with a good case like the Otterbox Case.

    I recently purchased the iPad 9th generation for my kids, and it has been an absolute game-changer! The performance is incredibly smooth, and the A13 Bionic chip ensures that all apps and games run flawlessly. The 10.2-inch Retina display is stunning, making everything from educational apps to streaming videos look vibrant and clear. The battery life is impressive, lasting all day with regular use, which is perfect for my kids' needs. Plus, the iPad is durable and well-built, giving me peace of mind that it can handle the occasional drop or bump. The addition of the Apple Pencil compatibility has also been a huge hit, allowing my kids to draw and take notes with ease. Overall, the iPad 9th generation is an excellent investment for families. It offers a perfect balance of performance, durability, and versatility. Highly recommended!

    Apple 10.2-Inch iPad (9th Generation) - 64GB - Sil

    I recently got my hands on the Apple 10.2-Inch iPad (9th Generation) in Silver, and I have to say, it’s a fantastic device for anyone looking for a reliable tablet without breaking the bank. First off, the performance is impressive! Thanks to the A13 Bionic chip, everything runs smoothly—whether I’m browsing the web, streaming my favorite shows, or playing a casual game. The 10.2-inch Retina display is a joy to use; it’s bright and vibrant, making reading or watching videos really enjoyable. The 64GB of storage is decent for everyday use. I’ve been able to store plenty of apps and a good number of photos without any issues. But if you tend to save a lot of videos or large files, you might want to consider going for a model with more storage. What I love most about this iPad is its versatility. It's compatible with the Apple Pencil (1st generation) and the Smart Keyboard, so it’s perfect for jotting down notes, sketching, or even tackling some light work tasks. It really transforms the iPad into a mini workstation, which is super handy for students and professionals alike. In terms of design, it has that classic Apple look with sleek aluminum and slim bezels, though it might feel a bit old-school compared to the newer models. But honestly, it’s still a solid, durable device that feels great in hand. Overall, the 9th generation iPad is a fantastic choice for anyone looking for an all-around tablet. Whether you’re a student, a casual user, or someone who just wants a reliable device for streaming and browsing, this iPad has got you covered!

    Bought this for school and works incredibly well for the price. It’s durable, easy to work with, and battery life lasts atleast 1-2 days despite working hours with it. I wanted to get the 9th gen because of the home button as well as the price point. If your looking to get one for school, this one works good enough!

    I bought this when it was on sale so at discounted price I think the tablet is a good deal. I use iPhone so having an iPad helps me streamline my work, apps, email and social media. Screen is not as high quality as the Air and Pro version but still better than other brand. It’s bright, sharp and better viewing angle. Screen is gorilla glass but I won’t count on it, it is still scratchable if not careful. The sound quality is acceptable, wish it that it could be louder. Battery life is excellent t, I can use this for 4-5hrs before charging. It comes with Apple lightning cable and 20w charger, even new iPhone doesn’t come with charger any more. I might need so buy another one for myself as my kids are currently taking over this one. For durability, I always keep this tablet in a hard case to protect it.

    This worked perfect for the need it was purchased for. 79 yr old mother wanted to be able to sit in her recliner while on computer. She has really enjoyed the ease of using her new Ipad. Storage and speed plenty adequate. Great purchase and price was great. The size was perfect. The sound and volume works great for her. Charging is fast and easy. It was really easy to set up. And the useability was easy enough for a 79 year old to use. I would definitely purchase again according to the product and the business (Best Buy). They were helpful in making my decision and answering all questions i had concering the different generations of Ipads. It was a Mothers Day gift from me , my brother and sister.

I drew a beautiful portrait for my husband and it was all thanks to this because I wouldn’t have been able to myself on paper. Has great life battery and I love that I receive my calls on here too. 12/10
