⭐ Buy the iPad 9: geni.us/2MPBQ (affiliate) ⭐ Buy the iPad 8: geni.us/VEgzlHT (affiliate) ☕ WAS THIS VIDEO HELPFUL? BUY ME A COFFEE!! www.buymeacoffee.com/techgeartalk What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the iPad 9 4 and the iPad 8 was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?
I know this is a crazy question or stupid one but i never used latest devices as I'm upgrading from iPhone 4s so my question is if we have a physical sim (Airtel Or Verizon) on iPhone, can we use the same number on iPad as e-Sim?
I’m using the 8 right now, and I’m perfectly fine with it. I’d recommend that you buy the 9 if you want a few extra features, or get a 8 if you’d like to get it 100 dollars cheaper, with still perfectly fine internals.
Ye I got an iPad 8 gen, and I have 0 camera interaction with it. So 0 need for an upgrade! Day to day usage I can’t see it being worth an upgrade. Battery life is amazing, screen is beautiful, and with Spacial Audio for the AirPod Pros, watching movies made my iPad feel brand new!
Camera improvement isn't important after all no one go photographing with an iPad. I'm perfectly happy with my 8th gen. 9 has no worthy upgrades for me.
I had the 8th gen, and it was perfect, but the battery capacity fell off big time for me. It only lasted like 2-3 hours, while my new 9th gen lasts the entire day. I also got the 9 because of cellular data. But from my experience, I don’t see too many differences other than battery life and cellular. Both are really good iPads though
@@P0rt4L. Are you using your iPad all the time for battery fall so fast? I use mine very a little and battery last like a week or so. And I'm with 8th gen with with wifi 128 gb. There was cellular but I dont need that for a tablet.
I personally bought the 9th gen iPad mostly due to the increased storage. 64 GB is perfect for me and I don't have to pay extra for more storage (which I would have done on the iPad 8th gen because 32 GB is not enough imo).
Is 64gb worth it? Because imma buy one too and im thinking of that iOS takes up to 5 to10gb of system storage so im only gonna get 50 something gigs if i get the 64gb 😭
@@NewtonTzn for me it’s enough.If you work much on things like video or photo editing or if you’re making music I’d consider the 256 GB but for games or just content consumption 64 GB should be enough. Just ask yourself what you wanna do and what apps you wanna install before you make your decision and if you are very close to completely filling the 64 GB maybe consider the 256 GB
I just got a seldom used, mint condition 128gb ipad 8 for less than the price of a 64gb ipad 9 as my brother had to constantly borrow my laptop for his online classes. This thing is a beast. I’m shocked at the amount of things I could do with it. I bought a logitech rugged folio and an apple pencil and I sometimes forget that I have a laptop lol. I do photoshop work, video editing, music production, and work with my iPad 8 and it has not disappointed me at all
I mainly use my iPad Air 1st gen for Netflix and TH-cam so it's still okay for that. But I am considering getting a new one for other tasks and try out the Apple Pencil.
I never owned an ipad, but pls tell is ipad that much durable that it can survive 8 years...I'm asking this because I'm planning to buy one as I'm going to college just after a month

I just traded in my iPad 8 32 gig at Best Buy for the iPad 9 64 gig for a total out of pocket expense of 117.00…I think it was totally worth the upgrade for all the extra features..put my 9 in a case protector the second I unboxed it…I will keep my 9 in excellent condition just in case I feel the need to trade in for next years 10…thank you for doing this comparison!…I am very happy with my 9th gen iPad and would recommend to everyone!
I have an 8, got it in Jan of 2021 and still works flawlessly to this day. Battery life is unbelievably good for what I do (stream and watch movies, TV shows, TH-cam, etc). I think if they make a 10th gen or if they have already, I'll upgrade to that.
Been waiting for this review. I think you are the first tech who showed the difference from the iPad 8 vs iPad 9. Really appreciate the reviews. My cousin is waiting for the iPad 9 to be available here in the Philippines. God Speed to your channel sir.
After binge watching all your reviews on iPad, I just bought iPad 9 yesterday. totally worth it! The only thing I don’t like about it is the one sided speaker, but the 3.5 mm for headphone can compensate it. I don’t like wearing Bluetooth headphone.
I'm still using my 5th gen iPad having discovered Adonit Pixel stylus pen works on it with pressure sensitivity. I'm a classic artist who's not into extreme digital art. I use my near vintage 5th gen to doodle and do quick sketches.
i don't know too much about any third party iPad styluses, but do you have any more recommendations? feel like the apple pencil costs too much for too little functionality tbh
I bought both 8th gen and 9th gen iPad. I got the 8th gen for my wife on OfferUp almost brand new for $200.00 and a week later got myself a 9th gen. Both 10.2. I never really noticed the difference. I told her that the only difference that felt was that the 8th was released in 2020 and the 9th in 2021
I just upgraded from the iPad 7 to the iPad 9 and I don’t regret my decision. I feel the difference as the iPad 7 was really slow and the new iPad is just really smooth
@@Lanerusher yeah but I'd rather not. I'm using it heavily for school rn and if i return it, i wouldn't have anything to use for a couple of weeks max.
I have the 8 as I bought it last year I have the 32gb and it works fine for playing games,watching videos,taking notes,drawing and other stuff I wish I got the 128gb but I was on a budget so this is what I opted for 😊
the only reason why baseline ipad model remains the same design is because apple still have bundle of this stock in their warehouse. till they clear it, the baseline model design will remain the same with just the change of processor, storage, ram or camera
Don’t think folks realize how close the iPad Air 3 is to this new entry level iPad, minus the screen lamination…as well as improvements even over that model
Came here for the first time...but to be honest , I haven't seen such a logical , knowledgeable and reasonable review video , specifying the comparative part too...I was much confused before for what should I buy ....you made everything clear and I think ipad 9 gen is good and smart to buy under 30k ... I have a budget around 35-38k but I just don't want to regret after 1-2 years ...thanks man ...you deserve like and subscribe ✔️👍
64gb is a bit low and price of 256gb is a bit high that's why I go with iPad 8 128gb variant, refurbished and around the same price of the iPad 9 base model
thank you so much my man for always making the best reviews i really appreciate how you include each and every point. and thanks for clearing the rumour about the laminated display. im gonna be copping the 9 and use it for taking notes,content consumption and even gaming. im not gonna get a matte screen protector. do you think i should get a glass one? if yes do you have any recommendation. (i will get a case including for the front when not in use)
I was wondering if I should get the iPad 8 with 128 GB or the iPad 9 with 64 GB. The latter would cost less, but 64 GB probably wouldn't be enough to get me through university. As someone who is really new to Apple, I'm not sure if this works out the way I'm imagining right now, so please tell me if this is stupid. I think I'm going to get the iPad 9 with 64 GB and pay for icloud if I need more than 64 GB. Does that work? PLEASE HELP ME, I don't get technolooooogyyyy. This video helped a bunch though, so thanks a lot!!! EDIT: The iPad 9 is better than the iPad 8, I get that, but I'm going to use it for university only, so it really doesn't make that much of a difference to me!!:)
I thank you for this comment ... I serach about it ... iam in the same situation.. iam medical student with a lot of records and notes .. and first time to use ipad in general... iam with ipad 8 ..128 gb ...or ipad 9 256... because I don't to be afraid about the space ... but I think about the price because I want to buy the pencil ✏️ also.. I need some help plzzzzz
hi! i don’t know if you would notice this but i’m a student and i’m contemplating on whether to buy ipad air 4 or ipad 9th gen, it would be great if you could give your honest opinion about this!
It is plenty enough. Back on the day on my undergraduate years, I used the old Ipad Air to download all my books, pdf's, and note taking with Notability. Never ran into any issues. Textbooks and notes usually take up less than a few MB's. I started using a first-gen Ipad Pro 11inch with 64GB since my first year of medicine, I'm on my third year and still haven't run unto storage issues. However, you may run into issues if you also download lots of videos, class recordings, etc. for offline usage. If you do, you can always transfer old files to your computer.
Him: "WHY PAY MORE!? iPad 9 vs iPad 8" Me: Its 10 bucks more in the refurbished store for double the storage on the base model, I am DEFINITELY paying more.
Tbh I think for those who's really in a budget should get the ipad 9 now, since if it would receive the redesign, the price may cost more. But if the price didn't change, still both ipad 8/9 would still be a great value
What if we compare with Samsung Tab S7 FE? I am literally confused between iPad 9, AIR and S7 FE. worried about samsung not very good with the time, Apple is but iPad 9 is old, AIR is more futuristic considering that once we bought, atleast 4-5 yrs,we r going to use it. So is it worth to pay more to AIR.
@@ramasaretrivedi4101 The only thing that seems old with ipad 9 is it's lightning port, if you need a device with usb-C then ipad air would be worth it, but if not. Ipad 9 is still the best choice
Currently on my iPad 8th gen still. The a13 doesn’t seem like a huge upgrade, I’m going to either wait for iPad 10th gen for 2022, or iPad Air 5th gen that is expected to release soon with A15 chip
This video gave me a clarity on what to buy. So I came to a conclusion on buying the iPad 9. Loved your video. By the way this my first time watching your video and not even a single second my life is wasted in watching your video. And now I am a permanent viewer of your channel. Keep it up Brother. My best wishes are always with you.
I bought latest model of ipad pro, but I used only for note taking and netflix. Seems 9th generation will be super enough for me to using. And that old design is really cool for me until now.
Here why I want to upgrade (besides updated specs and features): iPad 8 trade in value at Apple is $240 right now, and I can get the 9th gen for $309 with the college discount. Really a no brainer at $69 to upgrade!
I just got the new iPad 9 on Friday the day it was released and honestly it's really good! This is my first iPad that I've owned and has been great for use as a student. I used to use my laptop for notetaking because of how it could easily turn into a tablet that I could write on but it was not that great considering the stylus pen it came with would constantly disconnect from my laptop and didn't have palm rejection. But now switching to the iPad, writing notes is so much easier for me. Using this has been a great experience so far and is definitely highly affordable as a college student. I definitely recommend it!!
In my country, for example. The price difference between the 128-256 is almost 160 dollars, I think is a better option if you want to buy some accessories like the Logitech combo touch (120dlls in Amazon Mexico) or even the Apple Pencil.
Hi. I just got the iPad nine and I noticed that the bezel is a little different even though the iPad is the same shape. It’s much thinner than the iPad eight and it’s not as clunky as the iPad eight. The iPad nine is also a lot lighter than the iPad eight I’ve noticed. As somebody who is blind and autistic that’s something that I do notice because my other senses are heightened. I got the iPad nine because the headphone jack on the iPad eight broke. My group home staff noticed that the iPad nine doesn’t have as much basil and he even agrees with me that it’s a little center. I think it’s a lot nicer and the speakers compared to the iPad eight do sound really nice more like a standard laptop or like my phone. I like that. And I like that it has clear sounding speakers like my iPhone 11 and works pretty much the same so far I’ll be at bigger.
hi! this video was very helpful, i love your content! i wanted to ask whether you could do a comparison between the ipad air 3 (2019) and the ipad 9 (2021), since the air can be found for similar (or lower!) price refurbished and so i think it would be a great alternative since it has laminated screen and smaller bazels as well! :)
Not only that. It got *bluetooth 5. *Wide colour gamot(P3) *Anti-reflective coating These are the things that a regular user will surely notice. So ipad Air 3 is better. If you are lucky upu could get brand new one in any third party store for around $300. (I dont think everybody will use this centre stage often)
I have a 128gb iPad 8 and Apple is offering $240 in trade in value to get the 64gb iPad 9, I don’t even use much memory so I think it is worth the price to upgrade. Do you agree?
Was wondering is there any recommended alternatives for Apple Pencil 1? How does it compare to Logitech Crayon? As far as I observe Apple Pencil seems to be the best option for iPad, hope to hear your opinions!
The Pencil 1 has pressure and tilt sensitivity whereas the Logitech Crayon doesn’t. If you’re not going to use it for digital art, the Crayon is a good cheaper alternative.
@@jordantagalog6803 Logitech does have the tilt feature but not pressure sensitivity. If you’re not an artist and you just need it for note taking Logitech is really good. I have one
@@raaakshshsgsb458 no the air 4 is way more expensive and the next ipad is probably gonna get the same design as the ipad air 3 not the 4 currently it's the same as the ipad air 2 design and yes the air 2 and 3 have different designs and screen sizes
Hello mate I have iPad 8th gen 128 gigs Wi-Fi with Apple Pencil would you suggest to change over to 9th gen. My usage is content consumption, reading, making notes and playing games. Please do let me know and thank you in advance.
I just really love my iPad 8th Generation & Apple Pencil. The rose gold color is really beautiful. Everything is perfect functioning. The only reason I need to let it go because I need more storage. 💔
My only curiousity is how it navigate, did it still use the old school way to change tasks like only using the button or does it also have full screen gesture,??
You can use both the home button and full screen gestures. There’s no setting you need to activate you just do it out of the box. Like there’s nothing you need to do to activate the gestures or home button. I sometimes use the gestures on my ipad 8, or i sometimes use the home button
That's awesome Jay! (I wish I still had the original). My question would be, what are you upgrading for? If you're looking for a device that's faster and more powerful, yes. If you just want something new - yes. Unless the new gear provides additional benefit to you - no. Hope that helps.
I have the 8 and I yeat the 9 at Costco. Both have thr retina but the 9 feels way better. To tap on than the 8, this is important. For mobile music production.
@@bossnatzutv Sure, i would love to take ipad 9 since it's offer more on 4-5 years ios update but since I'm more into media consumption. The quad speaker, laminated screen, 120hz, dolby vision, dolby atmos which offer a lot for media consumption. If money is not my prob then i would love to buy ipad pro haha.

EDIT: The iPad 9 is better than the iPad 8, I get that, but I'm going to use it for university only, so it really doesn't make that much of a difference to me!!:)
I have the exact same problem;.;
i have the same exact problem. what did u guys get?
I thank you for this comment ... I serach about it ... iam in the same situation.. iam medical student with a lot of records and notes .. and first time to use ipad in general... iam with ipad 8 ..128 gb ...or ipad 9 256... because I don't to be afraid about the space ... but I think about the price because I want to buy the pencil ✏️ also.. I need some help plzzzzz
hi! i don’t know if you would notice this but i’m a student and i’m contemplating on whether to buy ipad air 4 or ipad 9th gen, it would be great if you could give your honest opinion about this!
Is 64 GB enough for a student that does note taking and books downloading
It should work for that.
I'm using 32 GB and it's working good so far... So 64 should be good
15 GB is already taken by standart Apps and the IpadOS on my Ipad9. 64GB is enough for School.
It is plenty enough. Back on the day on my undergraduate years, I used the old Ipad Air to download all my books, pdf's, and note taking with Notability. Never ran into any issues. Textbooks and notes usually take up less than a few MB's. I started using a first-gen Ipad Pro 11inch with 64GB since my first year of medicine, I'm on my third year and still haven't run unto storage issues.
However, you may run into issues if you also download lots of videos, class recordings, etc. for offline usage. If you do, you can always transfer old files to your computer.
Thanks a lot for the suggestion guys
Got the iPad 9 for $269 on Amazon prior to the news of the 10’s price hike. Think they’ve raised it to $299 since.
I have an iPad 8 and love it. Got it early this summer. Thanks for this great video. I will keep my iPad 8 for a few more years.
Him: "WHY PAY MORE!? iPad 9 vs iPad 8"
Me: Its 10 bucks more in the refurbished store for double the storage on the base model, I am DEFINITELY paying more.
Good deal - I would jump on it.
@@TechGearTalk Yeah, Apple refurbished store is always reliable
Tbh I think for those who's really in a budget should get the ipad 9 now, since if it would receive the redesign, the price may cost more. But if the price didn't change, still both ipad 8/9 would still be a great value
Thank you for watching and for contributing.
What if we compare with Samsung Tab S7 FE?
I am literally confused between iPad 9, AIR and S7 FE.
worried about samsung not very good with the time, Apple is but iPad 9 is old, AIR is more futuristic considering that once we bought, atleast 4-5 yrs,we r going to use it. So is it worth to pay more to AIR.
@@ramasaretrivedi4101 The only thing that seems old with ipad 9 is it's lightning port, if you need a device with usb-C then ipad air would be worth it, but if not. Ipad 9 is still the best choice
@@hot_blooded1333 hmm that point I was neglecting,ty 💚
Currently on my iPad 8th gen still. The a13 doesn’t seem like a huge upgrade, I’m going to either wait for iPad 10th gen for 2022, or iPad Air 5th gen that is expected to release soon with A15 chip
I will wait for iPad 12th Gen...
@@TapanThakur1964 I am more patient than you guys and will wait for 19th generation
For some reason the mini has the A15 😂 makes no sense
I am a student and i have to buy an iPad. Can you suggest me which one is better - I pad mini 6 Or i pad 9 gen?
This video gave me a clarity on what to buy. So I came to a conclusion on buying the iPad 9. Loved your video. By the way this my first time watching your video and not even a single second my life is wasted in watching your video. And now I am a permanent viewer of your channel. Keep it up Brother. My best wishes are always with you.
I bought latest model of ipad pro, but I used only for note taking and netflix. Seems 9th generation will be super enough for me to using. And that old design is really cool for me until now.
Here why I want to upgrade (besides updated specs and features):
iPad 8 trade in value at Apple is $240 right now, and I can get the 9th gen for $309 with the college discount. Really a no brainer at $69 to upgrade!
Nice and very helpful. Thanks!😊
I’m going to keep my 128 gb iPad 8 for 6 years 🤗🤗
Great plan!!! Smart move.
Wao that’s a bold statement! I think 2-3 years for me I would consider sell it and buy for nxt
Me too lol
I have the same exact iPad as you and I’ve had it for three years and it’s really good. It’s even running the latest version. iOS 16.
Very well explained. Wish you more subscribers and success!!!
Thanks for this video. I might just get the 128gb iPad 8th gen.
Is iPad 9 worth it for 4 years? Gaming and school
A top notch video review for content, editing and presenting.
Much appreciated, Brandon!
I just got the new iPad 9 on Friday the day it was released and honestly it's really good! This is my first iPad that I've owned and has been great for use as a student. I used to use my laptop for notetaking because of how it could easily turn into a tablet that I could write on but it was not that great considering the stylus pen it came with would constantly disconnect from my laptop and didn't have palm rejection. But now switching to the iPad, writing notes is so much easier for me. Using this has been a great experience so far and is definitely highly affordable as a college student. I definitely recommend it!!
i got the iPad 9th Gen abt 2 weeks ago and im so happy w it , its fast , smooth and fun to use
Pre booked and eagerly waiting for delivery next week... Already received the accessories
In my country, for example. The price difference between the 128-256 is almost 160 dollars, I think is a better option if you want to buy some accessories like the Logitech combo touch (120dlls in Amazon Mexico) or even the Apple Pencil.
Good review man 👍🏻
Hi. I just got the iPad nine and I noticed that the bezel is a little different even though the iPad is the same shape. It’s much thinner than the iPad eight and it’s not as clunky as the iPad eight. The iPad nine is also a lot lighter than the iPad eight I’ve noticed. As somebody who is blind and autistic that’s something that I do notice because my other senses are heightened. I got the iPad nine because the headphone jack on the iPad eight broke. My group home staff noticed that the iPad nine doesn’t have as much basil and he even agrees with me that it’s a little center. I think it’s a lot nicer and the speakers compared to the iPad eight do sound really nice more like a standard laptop or like my phone. I like that. And I like that it has clear sounding speakers like my iPhone 11 and works pretty much the same so far I’ll be at bigger.
hi! this video was very helpful, i love your content! i wanted to ask whether you could do a comparison between the ipad air 3 (2019) and the ipad 9 (2021), since the air can be found for similar (or lower!) price refurbished and so i think it would be a great alternative since it has laminated screen and smaller bazels as well! :)
Not only that. It got
*bluetooth 5.
*Wide colour gamot(P3)
*Anti-reflective coating
These are the things that a regular user will surely notice. So ipad Air 3 is better. If you are lucky upu could get brand new one in any third party store for around $300. (I dont think everybody will use this centre stage often)
I have a 128gb iPad 8 and Apple is offering $240 in trade in value to get the 64gb iPad 9, I don’t even use much memory so I think it is worth the price to upgrade. Do you agree?
The last ipad I had was the iPad 3 😂😭😭 this will be a MASSIVE update for me I’m definitely going with the 9
Was wondering is there any recommended alternatives for Apple Pencil 1? How does it compare to Logitech Crayon? As far as I observe Apple Pencil seems to be the best option for iPad, hope to hear your opinions!
The Pencil 1 has pressure and tilt sensitivity whereas the Logitech Crayon doesn’t. If you’re not going to use it for digital art, the Crayon is a good cheaper alternative.
@@jordantagalog6803 Logitech does have the tilt feature but not pressure sensitivity. If you’re not an artist and you just need it for note taking Logitech is really good. I have one
Thanks for the input guys!
I have the 7th generation do you think I should upgrade to the mini or keep my 7th generation?
True tone display is also a great improvement
If you want to upgrade, just wait for the iPad X next year. That would be a complete redesign.
I'm super excited to see it
That is what I am worried. I want 2nd gen pencil. But I need an ipad now.
Ipad air is ipad x
Ipad air 4 is ipad x
@@raaakshshsgsb458 no the air 4 is way more expensive and the next ipad is probably gonna get the same design as the ipad air 3 not the 4 currently it's the same as the ipad air 2 design and yes the air 2 and 3 have different designs and screen sizes
Hello mate I have iPad 8th gen 128 gigs Wi-Fi with Apple Pencil would you suggest to change over to 9th gen. My usage is content consumption, reading, making notes and playing games. Please do let me know and thank you in advance.
I just really love my iPad 8th Generation & Apple Pencil. The rose gold color is really beautiful. Everything is perfect functioning. The only reason I need to let it go because I need more storage. 💔
Planning to buy first iPad..
Please is suggest a option from below.
1. I pad 9 - 256 GB
2. I pad air 4 - 64 GB
Get the iPad 9
Just got the iPad 8th generation for $250 and its awesome
Update: was able to trade that in for an iPad 9th Gen. Way better.
How does the iPad 9 compare to iPad Air 4? Planning on getting my first iPad for college and trying out digital art.
Video coming very soon!
thanks man for the video it was helpful i have a doubt should i wait for ipad 10th gen or go for the 9th gen what do u say?
Thankyou for explaining this :D
Great video! Can I use any one of these two for live trading Stock ie looking at chart? Or iPad air better?
Hi I'm from india I thought of buying ipad 8 but after seeing this video I will go for ipad 9 my first ipad thanks man
Do you think it is worth it to up from an iPad 7? I use it for games, Netflix, notes, and pro create
I went from 7-8 and noticed 0 difference. Seems like still a minimal jump to the 9. Sounds like the benefit of switching would be more memory
I was eagerly waiting for your video.... thanks
Hope you enjoyed it! Thank you for the support!
I only need an Ipad for note taking really but the apple updates and the wide options are just confusing. Thanks for the video it’s helping.
My only curiousity is how it navigate, did it still use the old school way to change tasks like only using the button or does it also have full screen gesture,??
You can use both the home button and full screen gestures. There’s no setting you need to activate you just do it out of the box. Like there’s nothing you need to do to activate the gestures or home button. I sometimes use the gestures on my ipad 8, or i sometimes use the home button
@@Lol-rv5bv tq 😉
Good buy for person from android to apple ??
Wow thank you for the comparation
God bless u
Big fan of u
I wish I had the iPad pro 😁😍
Can u tell me, how much storage takes the system in ipad 9 -64 GB variant? How much will be available to deal with??.
Hey @Tech Gear Talk do you recommend ipad 9th gen for work? virtual desktops?
What are your expectations for the regular ipad gen 10? Will it be worth the wait?
Same question
M barely holding on
Would wait if they'll change the lightning port
@@zerotwo8490 I didn't heard any leaks so far bro ! If there is complete design update, then will cost more definitely!!
You mentioned hooking up a USB-C drive to the ipad mini and edit video from it. Is it doable on the ipad 9? With an usb-c hub ofcoz
haven't upgraded our iPad since iPad 2 so this will be a good option for me.
Wait till black friday
I love the iPad I need as a Laptop replacement Because PC are so expensive and I’m on a budget Thx 😊 for the review
You are very welcome - hope you enjoyed it!!!
I have the original IPad Air and it works fine. Is it worth for me to upgrade, thanks
That's awesome Jay! (I wish I still had the original). My question would be, what are you upgrading for? If you're looking for a device that's faster and more powerful, yes. If you just want something new - yes. Unless the new gear provides additional benefit to you - no. Hope that helps.
@@TechGearTalk Many thanks Sigi
Hi,
Could you suggest which is the better option, Sony ZV E10 OR A6400??
Its good to get ipad 9 for my first ipad?
Definitely
Is 64gb good enough for Gaming And for School?
Ipad 9 VS ipad air 4(2020)...
Which would be best buy...🤔🤔🤔
I have 8th gen and I’m satisfied with it, playing PUBG, CODM, LOLM, MLBB and GENSHIN IMPACT is super smooth like butter no lags and fps drop at all!
I have the 8 and I yeat the 9 at Costco. Both have thr retina but the 9 feels way better. To tap on than the 8, this is important. For mobile music production.
Great video. Thank you!
Very good video, what Starwars game was that you were playing?
Do you think I could get away with 64GB of storage, for light use? Many thanks
If you're not downloading a lot of movies, huge games, or shooting video, yes.
Watching this on my iPad 9!
I would love to hear your point of view of new Mi Pad 5 with this Ipad 9. Mostly about media consumption. Thank you.
Ipad 9 is best and better than MI pad pro.
@@bossnatzutv Sure, i would love to take ipad 9 since it's offer more on 4-5 years ios update but since I'm more into media consumption. The quad speaker, laminated screen, 120hz, dolby vision, dolby atmos which offer a lot for media consumption. If money is not my prob then i would love to buy ipad pro haha.
I wanna know like u told us about storing data In a pen drive it was compatible or iPad 9 compatible?
What about upgrading from iPad 7 to iPad 9?
Massive performance upgrade. Not 100% necessary but it’s worth it
Can 9th iPad play onmyoji arena without crashed or freeze frame? With extreme graphic quality?
hello..... can you please make a video comparison between iPad 9 and iPad Air 4....... It would really help me decide
The laminated display is overrated trust me, it’s now a big deal. Same with pro motion
