Is the iPad 9th Gen still worth buying?

Yes if you want a cheap, reliable iPad for streaming, browsing and schoolwork. It is slower and older-looking than the iPad 10th Gen, but it costs less and keeps the headphone jack.

For apps, browsing and streaming, yes. If you download movies, keep large photo libraries or play big games, the 256GB model or cloud storage is safer.

How does it compare with the iPad 10th Gen?

The 10th Gen has a larger 10.9-inch screen, USB-C, a faster A14 chip and a newer design. The 9th Gen is cheaper and has a headphone jack.

Our take on the Apple iPad 9th Gen 64GB

The iPad 9th Gen is Apple's 2021 entry-level tablet: a 10.2-inch Retina display, A13 Bionic chip, 64GB of storage and about 10 hours of battery life. It keeps the headphone jack and Home button that newer iPads dropped, and it works with the first-generation Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard. The best new price is $419.85 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, near the low end of its recent $419.85 to $464.26 range. Refurbished units with a case and stylus sell for less and are graded A to C.
