Easy use , fast , sturdy and relaible . good battery life

I’ve been using the iPad 9th generation for a while now, and it’s been a solid choice. The 10.2-inch Retina display looks great for streaming, reading, and browsing, and the A13 Bionic chip keeps everything running smoothly, even for light editing and gaming. The 12MP front camera with Center Stage is a nice touch for video calls, and the rear camera is fine for basic shots. Battery life is solid—about 10 hours, which gets me through a full day. It’s also compatible with the 1st-gen Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard, making it a great option for note-taking or light work. For the price, it offers great value and is perfect if you don’t need the high-end features of the iPad Pro.

Awesome tablet. The screen is big enough for me to handle email correspondences while also provide a bright clear screen to delve off into relaxing games. I like how well designed this product is and how it doesn't feel too heavy or clunky. For the price I paid for this tablet it was definitely a good investment.

This lightweight iPad is very fast and great for travel. I have no problems connecting it to non apple keyboard and headphones via blue tooth. Had it for over a year without any issues.

This 10.2” iPad 9th gen is an easier choice than its theoretical successor, the 10th gen. In fact, the 10th gen is more fitting as an “Air” model than as a humble plain-Jane entry-level iPad, especially since Apple had recently upgraded the actual Air into a near-Pro. I’ll leave it up to you to watch one of the many YouTube videos detailing the specs differences, with several vloggers and bloggers recommending this basic iPad as more than sufficient for almost every user. I’ll just share why it works well for me: 1. I have an iPhone, so being able to toggle a setting to receive and place calls on my iPad automatically linked to my phone is really convenient. 2. I can send or receive iMessages (texts from anyone else’s iPhone or iPad) without even turning on the calls feature, above, and ditto for FaceTime Audio and Video calls. 3. Apple’s App Store is still king of the app stores, and because we can’t load apps from outside sources, I don’t have to squash the malware that phished itself into mom’s Android phone. 4. Apple is much more likely to be approved for use in schools (exams etc), though Chromebooks are also now deeply entrenched. I’d say iPads dominate grades 1-6, Chromebooks take over high school, and iPads replace notebooks in college classes (with MacBooks dominated the dorm and apartments desks). 5. 64gb of standard storage is a significant upgrade over the 8th gen and matches the 10th gen, with almost three times the available (after iOS and pre installed apps) storage on prior 8th gen entry level iPad. 6. 3gb of RAM handles App switching slightly faster than the prior 2gb. 7. It’s fast. Faster than almost all Android tablets even now. 8. Very accurate colors and great brightness make for better Netflix. Before hunting for HDR, make sure your brightness is turned up higher first. A lot of people dial down the brightness, which lowers the contrast range (HDR is all about expanding that contrast range limit). Some negatives: The 10th gen and Air have stereo speakers on left and right sides in landscape, this 9th gen has both of them on the right side. The 10th has USB C, meaning simpler thumb drive transfers IF you have already upgraded to C connected thumb drives. HOWEVER, third party Lightning to thumb drive standard A are now cheaply and readily available, and work fine for me with my existing thumb drives. The camera on the 10th is in the top middle landscape location now. However the camera on the 9th was super upgraded to 12mp and Centerstage, although left in the original iPad location. With Centerstage and improved optics I’m ok with that. This 9th is still current in April 2023 but should be upgraded in the fall. I don’t think Apple will discontinue the concept of two entry level iPads though, just because the 10th is too expensive.

Absolutely love this iPad For my daughter it’s Fast lots of Storage and keeps her entertained! And the battery life is great.

You would be crazy to not purchase this. The price point is perfect. This is my first iPad ever so wasn’t sure what to expect. I wanted something to sync with my iPhone, take decent photos, read, stream classes/videos/movies but I didn’t want to spend a fortune. It was bigger than expected(screen size) and lightweight. Holds a charge for what seems like forever. Super happy with this purchase.

I am very happy with my 9th generation iPad, it is very smooth to use. It reacts quickly to applications and does not hang. The battery lasts a long time and it is very light in weight. It is easy to use for work and schoolwork.

Another great Apple product, functions well, easy to use, good screen>

I really like this Ipad it is really fast and all the apps work great that I have downloaded. Also the big screen is really nice by making things easier to see and overall it is an Ipad I would recommend.

Really easy to use. Actions are logical and easy to understand. Can’t think of a thing I would change. So much better than using my phone for the internet. Seems well constructed. I hope that it lasts a really long time. I would recommend it for new tablet users as well as the more experienced computer users.

I love this iPad! I have the first generation of iPad and this one is faster and lighter. It also have tons of memory for my kids games. The price was amazing and so was Best Buy’s service.

This is my third iPad, but an upgrade from the Mini. Stellar speed and performance, great display, and good balance of real estate to heaviness. Would recommend to anyone!

Great value for this item. Works perfectly, long lasting battery. Bought (2), my wife’s tablet accidentally fell and shattered the screen. It was much more cost effective to purchase a new unit from Best Buy, than to repair the old unit. As a bonus, the new unit has 2x more storage.

Writing this review using this iPad and a Logitech SLim FOlio keyboard. So far, i’ve been impressed by the quality and size, just great for me. iPadOS is a great addition to my apple environment using Universal Control and Sidecar. iPAd is Snappy and screen displays great color and light. Super recommended!

iPad model has a 10.2-inch Retina display, which is sharp, bright, and vibrant. The screen has high color accuracy, and the touch response is accurate and responsive. The tablet comes in three color options; Space Gray, Silver, and Gold, which allows users to choose a device that fits their style. The tablet has thick bezels, and the touch ID sensor is located at the bottom center of the device. The device is 7.5mm thick, weighs 487 grams, and is comfortable to hold and use, even for prolonged periods. This chip is fast, reliable, and handles multitasking better without lagging or stuttering. The device runs on Apple's latest iPadOS 15 operating system, providing the latest software and security updates. The iPadOS 15 has user-friendly navigation and customization tools that make it easy for users to organize their work and entertainment applications and offers the best balance of price and performance, and it can do most of the things that the more expensive iPad Pro can do—such as pair with a Smart Keyboard or Apple Pencil

Great 9th Generation iPad on sale. Beautiful screen, fast, long battery life. Good sound too. Quick setup by putting my iPhone next to it and moving selected data items via Bluetooth to the iPad. My only complaint is the slight delay in delivery before Thanksgiving, but I was notified promptly of changes and it ended up being only two days late. Very happy with this, and with Best Buy's service.

The iPad's performance is top-notch, thanks to the powerful A12 Bionic chip. Apps open quickly, multitasking is seamless, and there is no lag or slowdown, even when running resource-intensive applications. The Touch ID fingerprint sensor adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that my data and personal information remain safe.

This is my 3rd Ipad and my wife’s 2nd. As far as I concerned the Ipad for a tablet is the only way to go. So easy to operate and rock solid for a tablet. My old one still works but unfortunately 32 Gigs was just not enough for me to keep it functioning properly. I will still use my old Ipad for a second screen and a back up to take places that could damage my new one. Lots of times my Iphone is too small to display info next to my Zoom session so now I can run it on my old Ipad. My old one is a 9.7 inch and this one is a 10.2 inch. I purchased the Zagg keyboard to go with this one and I use a Logi Tech one on the 9.7 inch Ipad. The Zagg magnetic cover is great but the way I use it makes the Ipad less secure when in the open position. The magnet fails to hold it securely. I may put velcro on it. All in all, you can’t go wrong with this Ipad. It does everything I need and more. I purchased the UOGIC Electronic Pencil for $19 to use with the Ipad and it worked right away.
