- Is the iPad 9th Gen still worth buying?
- Yes for basic use: streaming, browsing, schoolwork and video calls. It is slower and less modern-looking than the iPad 10th Gen, but it covers everyday tasks well and keeps the headphone jack.
- How is it different from the iPad 10th Gen?
- The 10th Gen has a larger all-screen design, USB-C, a newer chip and a better front camera. The 9th Gen keeps the home button, Lightning port and headphone jack, and uses the first-generation Apple Pencil.
- Does the Wi-Fi + Cellular model need a data plan?
- Yes. It takes a nano-SIM or eSIM data plan from a carrier to go online away from Wi-Fi. Without a plan it works exactly like the Wi-Fi model.
- Which Apple Pencil works with it?
- The first-generation Apple Pencil. It pairs and charges by plugging into the Lightning port, and the second-generation Pencil does not fit.
- Is 64GB enough?
- For streaming, browsing and cloud photos, yes. If you download lots of games, video or offline files, the storage fills quickly and there is no memory card slot.
- What is in the box?
- The iPad, a Lightning to USB-C cable and a power adapter. The Apple Pencil and keyboard are sold separately.
