Is the Apple iPad (9th Gen) worth buying? 

The 10.2-inch iPad 2021 is Apple’s 9th-generation iPad. This particular model listed comes in a sophisticated Space Grey shade and includes 3GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. 

The tablet features a very sharp 10.2-inch Retina Display with a 2160 x 1620 resolution and an oleophobic coating to limit fingerprints and smudges. It’s also compatible with Apple’s Smart Keyboard and 1st generation Apple Pencil (sold separately), allowing you to type, draw and scrawl handwritten notes on the iPad when tapping the touchscreen isn’t enough. 

There’s a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera on the front of the tablet for taking selfies and joining video calls, with Center Stage ensuring you remain centred in the frame even when moving around the room. 

Of course, we can’t leave out the A13 Bionic chip, which delivered a 20% performance increase over the previous generation iPad and includes the Neural Engine for machine learning-powered capabilities. The A13 Bionic also powers the huge selection of apps available on the iPad, from Apple’s own apps to popular third-party picks. 

“The iPad 9 is a no-frills tablet that focuses on impressive performance without all the extras you’ll find on the iPad Pro and iPad Air. It might not be the best tablet for spec lovers, but is still very good”, wrote editor Max Parker in our 4-star review of the tablet.
