    iPad 9th Generation is the best

    I’ve been using it for a year now, and it’s been working great so far. I recommend it to all the college students (like me) who need to take notes during lectures. It’s also the perfect size for my handbag. I’m sure that it would be great for business women who have less space in their handbags. And if you buy it with a keyboard case it can function just like a MacBook. In conclusion I give it 5 stars because there is not a day of me not using the iPad and it has never failed me for speed, quality picture, and just being perfect for everyday use. And most of all, it’s affordable!!!!

    Absolutely love it!! I used the pick-up method and it was swift and easy. The iPad as a whole is one of the best purchases I’ve made by far!!! Best Buy also gives lots of 3-4 month free trials for things like Apple Music, Apple TV, and more. It also has AMAZING battery life. The only thing is it does as fast as it charges and that is very slow but, nothing unbearable. I definitely recommend.

    This iPad is fantastic. It can go anywhere and syncs up to your iPhone easily. The screen is the perfect size and the memory is a good size. I would highly recommend it for anyone that finds the phone too small.

    iPad 9th Gen: More Than Just a Fancy Cutting Board

    |

    Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    So, I finally caved in and got myself the iPad 9th generation, and let me tell you, it's been a wild ride. At first, I was like, "Why did I buy this? Is it just a sleeker version of a cutting board?" Well, turns out, it's more than that – much more. I've been using it for everything, from pretending I'm an artist with the Apple Pencil to mastering the art of multitasking by having two apps open at the same time (because who needs a single-focus life?). It's like having a personal assistant that doesn't judge me for binge-watching cat videos. The best part? It serves the purpose. What purpose, you ask? Well, the purpose of making me look cooler than I actually am. Who knew a piece of tech could boost my social standing? Now, people think I'm the tech guru of the neighborhood. In conclusion, the iPad 9th gen might have started as a mystery purchase, but now, it's the MVP of my daily shenanigans. If you're looking for a device that's not just a cutting board but can also make you feel like you've got your life together, this is the one for you. 5/5, would buy again (even if I still don't know what I got it for).

    I bought this for basic reader, browser, email, and on-line cycling. My old (7th gen) didn’t support the free MyWhoosh cycling app which displays your avatar while pedaling through various routes. The iPad connects to my Schwinn IC4 and heart rate monitor. Great setup on the cheap.

    The 9th Generation iPad is working great. Didn't need any more storage that 64GB. Later models don't have the button but I like the button.
