2021 iPad 9th Gen UNBOXING and REVIEW - The Cheapest iPad

Here's my unboxing and review of the 2021 iPad 9th Gen. At $329 it's the cheapest iPad and brings a lot of value.

The new entry level iPad doubles the storage, comes with the A13 Bionic Chip, supports the first gen Apple Pencil and best of all it still costs $329 which is a solid price point. The downside it still has the chunkiest bezels (especially the forehead). It's also the only iPad that still charges via Lightning.

What do you guys think?

Why do tech reviewers always insist in saying that pluging the Apple Pencil in the iPad is the way of charging it? Yes it’s one way, but there’s an adapter included with the pencil so you are able to charge it with your lightning cable, so it’s not as ridiculous and dangerous.

[WesleyWenhold]

When I used the original Apple Pencil years ago I never charged it by putting it into the iPad! It comes with an attachment that allows you to charge it via cable in the wall. I never see anyone showing this on videos. I will say the second gen Apple Pencil charging on my 2021 iPad Pro is so much nicer though. Much more convenient

I just got this iPad at Walmart for $309. It’s a lot bigger than what I remember my iPad 2nd gen being when I was younger. It’s very nice and I definitely recommend it for those who don’t want to spend extra on the iPad Air.

I don’t think ipad os will ever become more like mac os, because apple wants to keep them separate enough so that you buy both lol

This Gen 9 iPad 10.2 is a great replacement for my 2017 iPad Pro since I could reuse my apple pencil version 1, the bluetooth apple key board as well as the leather soft case. Great savings for another few years till the next upgrade. The specs are a great improvement, the A13 Bionic, the 12 MP front camera with centre stage thrown in and the higher 256GB storage is such a welcome. I am happy with this purchase.

For entry level iPad, this is better choice than the mini. It packs with same 12mp center stage for meeting and facetime, non laminated might be an issue for viewing but makes it cheaper to repair the glass, the A13 still run faster and smoother than android tablet too... And also the base storage start with 64gb is same like the Air and Mini too...

Got mine in 2024 and made unboxing video. Best iPad 🤍

Got this for my 8 year old son for Christmas, thinking since it was the low end of the iPads…not really a big tech person…Now I’m wanting to keep it for myself. Lol 😂

inside the pencil box, include lightning port converter for you to charge the pencil via lightning cable

I can feel Steve Jobs when I am looking at this iPad. Simply Elegent. The os and the horsepower are at balance.

If you're planning on getting the Apple Smart folio Keyboard with this iPad 9th gen, just get the Logitech Combo Touch. The Apple Smart Folio is small and lightweight, but not worth $159 New from the AppleStore. The Logitech Combo Touch is a better deal including a thick protective case and back-lit keyboard with Trackpad for $150 New. I've used both on the ipad 7th gen 10.2in and prefer the Logitech Combo Touch.

[JoshMiller]

I’m still using the 9.7” 6th gen iPad from 2018 with the A10 and 32 GB with cellular, and yes, 32 is just barely enough for me to keep it around because it is a great little device, but definitely will probably upgrade to this or a mini once the stock becomes better

Hi. Watching from this model, 256 GB. It’s my first iPad and I’m so happy!

[ElRadioDJ]

As a longtime Android user, this is the first Apple product I've ever purchased and I am using this just to explore what's it like to be an Apple user before switching to iPhone 14 Pro next year.

[unknownzzzzz]

Even though it has larger bezels at the top, it does have thinner edges on the side I guess.

[MattMachine]

I just ordered one. I've had several iPhone's, but never an iPad. I have a 2019 budget samsung tablet I've been using for a while, but it's just too slow now, and that iPad is at such a great price. I'd never buy the more expensive iPad's though. This one is more than fast enough for me, and has touch ID which I love, plus a decent screen.

[MasterKoala]

I was hoping for a demo of Center Stage. It’s one of the biggest upgrades especially since we make lots of video calls these days.
