Our take on the Apple iPad 9th Gen. 256GB, Wi-Fi, 10.2 in

The iPad 9th Gen is Apple's budget tablet, with a 10.2-inch 2160x1620 display, the A13 Bionic chip and 256GB of storage in this configuration. It keeps the headphone jack and Touch ID home button that later iPads dropped. The best new price is $310 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, below the recent range of $340 to $464.26.

What reviewers say

Owners treat it as the value pick in the iPad line: fast enough for everyday apps and streaming, with a screen that shows its age next to laminated models. Most complaints center on the old design and accessories.

Pros
  • Smooth performance for the price
  • Reliable all-day battery
  • Headphone jack and Touch ID are missed elsewhere
  • Good front camera for calls
Cons
  • Reflective, non-laminated screen
  • Dated design with thick bezels
  • First-gen Apple Pencil charging is awkward

Questions and answers

Is the iPad 9th Gen still worth buying in 2026?
Yes if you want a cheap, reliable iPad for streaming, browsing and schoolwork. Its A13 chip is older, so skip it if you need heavy multitasking or the latest design.
How does it compare with the iPad 10th Gen?
The 10th Gen has a larger 10.9-inch laminated screen, USB-C and a faster A14 chip. The 9th Gen keeps the headphone jack and costs less.
Does it work with the Apple Pencil?
It supports only the first-generation Apple Pencil, which charges through the Lightning port. The USB-C Pencil and Pencil 2 do not work with it.
What is in the box?
The iPad, a 20W USB-C power adapter and a USB-C to Lightning cable. No Pencil or keyboard case is included.
Is 256GB enough?
Yes for most people. It holds large offline video libraries and games that would strain the 64GB base model.
