    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!

    Enjoying the switch from Samsung to iPad

    There are many advantages for this 9th gen iPad. First is price. It's a great value. The speed is excellent for most of us. I switched from a Samsung Android tablet and got Apples built-in advantages such as better apps. Although the screen is smaller than some, it's slightly larger than the Samsung Galaxy (Android) Tab A7 even though the Samsung claims to be 10.4 inches while the Apple claims to be only 10.2. This is true for the actual viewable screen size even though the iPad is larger. This is because the space surrounding the viewable area on the iPad (including the "Home" button at the bottom) aren't included in measuring viewable area. What the edge-to-edge viewable area of the Tab A7 does it make it difficult to manipulate full-screen apps. For example, my wife and I read a little from the Kindle app every day. The apps full-screen-only view on the Tab A7 causes us to move pages and sometimes jump while reading . That's not a problem with the iPad because of the convenient area that's OK to touch that surrounds the viewable screen area. Our old Tab A7s battery life has weakened over the years but was always several hours. The iPad's batter can last up to 11 hours during use which is much better than the Samsung's battery. There a some drawbacks. If you plan on storing a lot of photos, the small amount of memory will limit you. Also keep in mind that this iPad tablet does not use a standard USB-C cable like my iPhone 15. Instead, it uses Apple's proprietary "lightning" cable (included). That's inconvenient. It's taking us a while to get used to the Mac OS but my wife and I are warming to the 2 iPads we now use. I give this 4 stars because its excellent value for the price. I didn't give it 5 stars because of the limited memory and the fact that it's not the latest and greatest thing Apple has.

    Best Christmas gift ever

    Let me tell you about the *ultimate* Christmas gift I got my 8-year-old son: the Apple 10.2-Inch iPad (9th Gen). I ordered it in November because I’m one of those parents who plans ahead... kinda. On Christmas morning, he tore the wrapping paper, saw the iPad, and his face lit up like a Christmas tree. First off, this thing is sleek. The Space Gray color? Chef’s kiss. My son says it “looks expensive,” which is 8-year-old for “I feel like a tech boss.” Setup was super easy, so we didn’t waste time trying to figure it out (thanks, Apple). He uses it for everything. For school, he types his little assignments and watches those “educational” YouTube videos. For games, it’s a dream. Roblox, Minecraft, some random dinosaur game he’s all over it. The screen makes everything look crazy good. Here’s the best part. I’m an OTR truck driver, so I’m on the road a lot. This iPad is a game changer for staying connected. FaceTime feels like I’m right there at the dinner table, and my son loves sending me goofy Memoji messages. He even got his grandma on FaceTime, and she barely knows how to use her phone. Battery life? Amazing. Storage? Perfect. It’s like his whole little digital world in one place. If you’re thinking about buying this iPad for your kid or even yourself just do it. It’s fun, it’s useful, and it keeps us connected. My son loves it, and I feel like the Christmas MVP. P.S. He still loves his PS5, but this iPad? It’s definitely got a special place in his heart. And mine too.

    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 am absolutely thrilled with my Apple 10.2-Inch iPad (9th Generation) with Wi-Fi in Silver! This device has truly exceeded my expectations in every aspect, especially when it comes to productivity and note-taking. First and foremost, the iPad's seamless integration with Office365 has been a game-changer for my work routine. Whether I'm drafting documents, creating spreadsheets, or preparing presentations, having access to the full suite of Office apps on this sleek device has made my workflow incredibly efficient. The responsive touchscreen and intuitive interface make tasks feel effortless, allowing me to focus more on the content rather than wrestling with technology. One of the standout features for me is the versatility of the iPad when it comes to note-taking. Whether I'm in a meeting, lecture, or brainstorming session, the iPad's Apple Pencil compatibility combined with its spacious 10.2-inch screen provides the perfect canvas for jotting down ideas, sketching diagrams, or annotating documents with precision. The palm rejection technology ensures a natural writing experience without any frustrating interruptions. Moreover, the 64GB storage capacity ensures that I have more than enough space to store my documents, presentations, notes, and multimedia files without worrying about running out of storage. The iPad's seamless synchronization with iCloud also ensures that my files are securely backed up and accessible across all my Apple devices, adding an extra layer of convenience to my work life. In addition to its exceptional performance for work-related tasks, the iPad is also a joy to use for entertainment and leisure activities. Whether I'm streaming movies, browsing the web, or playing games, the vibrant Retina display and powerful A13 Bionic chip deliver a stunning visual experience that never fails to impress. Overall, I cannot recommend the Apple 10.2-Inch iPad (9th Generation) enough for anyone in need of a reliable, versatile, and powerful device for work and beyond. Its seamless integration with Office365, impeccable note-taking capabilities, ample storage, and stunning performance make it a must-have tool for professionals and students alike.

    My iPad 9th experience

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Why did I buy this iPad? - I’m a student, and I need a device for study and entertainment. - I’m managing a social media page for an organization so I can use the iPad to do that. Advantages: - For study and work + This iPad is really fast and reliable + Taking notes and outlining ideas is very convenient. + With Apple Pencil and Logitech combo touch, this iPad is more and more useful. - For entertainment and other purposes + The display is clear and bright. + Speakers are good. + The very light weight that helps I can hold for a long time without any difficulty. + Touch ID is fast and reliable. + Fast charging and it may take around 1 hour not too long. - Disadvantages + Display color is a little bland compared to the iPad with my iPhone and my Macbook. This point has not affected my experience but if you have any works with color, I think you should consider other models. + With the keyboard and cover it will be a little heavier. + The new iPad OS isn’t stable right now, Safari sometimes crashes. + The trackpad of the Logitech cover sometimes freezes, I think it is because of the new OS but I’m not sure. + The non-laminated display is not beautiful like the Mini, Air, or Pro models. To be honest, I can’t realize if they are not side by side but I want to mention it because it may help you to make your decision. Summary With $250.00 this iPad has a good price/performance Thank you for reading my iPad 9th experience :)

    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.

    This was one of the best purchases i’ve made! I have had this tablet for about 3ish weeks and it has exceeded my expectations. I bought it because i am going back to school in january and need something to take notes on BUT also be able to take handwritten notes on. The battery is long lasting. I purchased a keyboard and pencil off amazon and it transformed my ipad into a laptop aka what i was hoping for. I got a special type screen protector that makes writing on the ipad really feel like you’re writing on paper. I’ve uninstalled all apps from my phone that i can use on safari because my ipad goes everywhere i do. It is the price of a used one on other sites so i was very quick to buy this one brand new and recommend best buy to my boyfriend for the same reason. My boyfriend is going to be purchasing the 256 GB version from Best Buy because of how happy i am with this one.

    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...

    I upgraded from the 2018 iPad (6th gen), I’m SOOOOO glad I made this purchase. My 6th gen wasn’t nearly as fast (slower processor and less ram), it had half the amount of on board storage that this one has and it was a smaller screen. I’m so glad I made this purchase.

    I am thrilled with this iPad. I'm one of those people who likes to get a generation or two older than whatever the newest product is because it's a much better bargain and they work just fine. I bought this mainly to link up to my exercise equipment so I could run iFIT programs, and it is absolutely perfect. It Bluetooths perfectly with my equipment and is colorful and fast. I've had no negative issues with it at all, and it was easy to set up. It's also great to take with me for traveling. Very lightweight. I bought a cover for better protection and to make sure the screen will be turned off. Very happy with this purchase!
