Looking for an iPad for Home? Want a Laptop Replacement? iPad 9 is Discounted Today with Deals Starting from Just $279
The ninth-generation iPad offers the full iPadOS experience with the least amount of sacrifices. Does it have a Retina display? Yes it does. Does it come with cellular capabilities? Of course. Does it run all the latest and greatest games? Without a doubt, it can.
We've talked a lot about the ninth-generation iPad in the past. But we are going to give you a quick refresher on what to expect. First of all, you get the A13 Bionic chip that will handle all your performance needs. And with built-in Neural Engine, this iPad is great at machine learning tasks as well, unlike the previous eighth-generation model.
You also get a fantastic Center Stage camera - 12-megapixel ultra-wide - that puts focus on you and keeps you in frame during a video call. FaceTime calls instantly become that much better thanks to this feature and it's a high quality camera too, if you plan on taking photos with the front-facing camera. At the same time, the rear camera - 8-megapixel wide - is great for everything. Whether it's taking photos, recording videos, scanning documents, it does it all.
The Retina display is what you'll be dealing with 90% of the time and it packs a solid resolution of 2160-by-1620. That's 264 pixels per inch, in geek terms. It is also very bright and is capable of hitting 500 nits of brightness when needed. With True Tone, the display adjusts the white balance so that it matches the ambient lighting, giving you an impression you're looking at a sheet of paper.
Last but not the least, you get support for the first-generation Apple Pencil. It is an optional accessory but one that will definitely get you hooked. Just pair it up and start writing or drawing away.
Now comes the part where you have to make an important decision. What decision is that? Whether you should get the 64GB model, 256GB one or go for a Wi-Fi-only or cellular version?
If you're going to give this iPad to a kid or just plan to stick with occasional entertainment, then 64GB is more than enough, especially if you're not going to install a lot of apps and games. However, if your budget allows it, 256GB is the way to go.
If you're going to take this iPad outdoor and actually thinking about replacing your laptop with it, then the cellular option is handy to have. Rather than relying on Wi-Fi for data, just use a data plan to stay connected all the time.
For most people, the 256GB Wi-Fi model is best. You won't be surprised with the dreaded low memory pop-up and you can mindlessly install apps and games on it like it's no big deal.
