Is the iPad 9th Generation still worth buying?

Yes if you want the cheapest new iPad for streaming, browsing, notes and video calls. If you need USB-C, more storage or Apple Pencil 2 support, step up to a newer model.

How does it compare with the iPad 10th Generation?

The 10th-gen iPad has a larger 10.9-inch screen, the A14 chip, USB-C and a landscape front camera. The 9th gen is cheaper and keeps the headphone jack.

For apps, streaming and cloud photos, yes. Heavy games, offline video libraries and lots of local photos will push you to manage storage or pick a larger capacity.

Does it work with the Apple Pencil?

It supports the Apple Pencil (1st generation), which charges through the Lightning port. The USB-C Apple Pencil and Pencil 2 do not work with it.

A new unit includes the iPad, a Lightning to USB-C cable and a 20W USB-C power adapter. Pre-owned listings may include fewer accessories, so confirm before buying.

Base iPads drop around Black Friday, back-to-school and when a new model launches. The best new price was $156.18 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026.
