What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the iPad 9 and the iPad Air 4 was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?

[HearMeLearn]

Honestly when it comes to the iPad, you don't need anything more than the basic iPad because it can basically do everything that the other iPads can but costs a fraction of the price, and if you need a laptop experience, then just get an actual laptop lmao

[marvinmarcio]

exactly what I was looking for! been torn between this 2, but I guess I’m getting the iPad 9 for daily work

[mohamedaadil]

Personally I love the design of iPad Air 4 but ipad 9th gen seem to be a good value for money 🙂

I recently bought a very gently used iPad Air 4 256gb on the Facebook Market with only 8 battery life cycles and the guy even threw in the folio keyboard for $450. He even gave me the boxes the device came in. He was an engineer and decided to get the M1 iPad instead. Oh and it also has Apple Care +. As a College student this was a huge win for me 😎.

I was really confused between these two. After watching your video, I decided to buy iPad 9 as it checks all my requirements. Thank you.

[reginabethpm]

Got myself the 9th gen 256GB. Doing great! Helps a lot in both personal and work load. Thanks for your review!

I think it's worth it to get either. however, if you are waiting for an iPad 10, you might as well get the 9. Apple said that the Air was for bringing Pro Features to an affordable iPad. that's why I don't think Apple will redesign the Budget iPad for a while because it would eliminate the purpose for the iPad Air (assuming the redesign will be similar to the air's). both are still amazing and are recomendible.

Your channel has become for sure my go-to when it comes to purchasing any techy device. You just saved me a lot of budget and time with this video and even opened my mind to the possibility of going for the ipad 9 gen, seriously! Thank you so so much for your great content, I went for my macbook air because of your review and this ipad will not be the exception either!

[jhingmndn]

Glad to have come across your video. This is very informative. I have been so fixed at buying the ipad air 4. However, this made me realize that I'll be just using it for basic functions for work, note taking during meetings, and browsing and watching content and made me changed my mind to choose the 9th gen instead. The only off part is the pencil. But I guess, I can deal with it. Plus it could save me a few more bucks. ♥️♥️

For me, coming from an iPad Air 3, if something happened to it I’d probably get the iPad 9 to replace it, with 256 Gb of storage, cellular and the pen, since I already have the keyboard. It would be far cheaper than the Air 4 with the same accessories and storage etc, plus I’d rather have the headphone jack and I prefer the home button. I don’t mind the older design and the A13 chip is more than fast enough to do everything I want it to do.I actually prefer the larger bezels for gaming as well, since it’s easier to avoid touching the screen unintentionally. I can always get a cover that has room for the pen, so the magnetic feature isn’t a deal breaker and I do a lot of zoom calls for work so the front camera on the 9 is much better for me. It’s as good a deal as you’re ever going to get from Apple.

Personally, I like the design of the iPad Air significantly more than the older design. I have the original iPad Air right now (which looks identical to the iPad 9) but I am waiting on the new iPad Mini I ordered lol. Both are good iPads, I guess it just depends on your preference

[BluePandaa]

Ipad 9 front facing camera have a totally killer feature for me. You give just 350 $ and got a luxury camera for video call. I am very happy with my the cheapest ipad.

[adanmartin]

Literally yesterday I was looking for a video like this, your the coolest!

[Nhaha]

I bought the gen9 ipad after your review and I love it. The battery life was amazing and the performing was great for a student who only need a tablet for reading pdfs and note taking. The screen time on my ipad is 7-8 hours a day but at the end of the day i still have ~20-30% left to play games or watch movies. The only down side is the gen9 does not support apple pen 2. But I found myself using the pen1 just great. Totally worth the money! Thank you ❤

[melindafayehilario]

Finally! I've been waiting for this video since your iPad 9 pre-order video 😅 Thanks so much for making this content. This video did help me to choose iPad 9th gen instead of iPad Air 4, based on purpose of use and comparison of specs. Also just noticed, that at 0:54 you mentioned iPad Air 9 🤭. Still a great video. Thanks so much keep it up! 😊

[ianmedina]

If you're not meticulous about features. What air 4 can do, you can do it also on the ipad 9. Even it's not fully laminated, still a great screen and it can take 1080p 60fps front facing video

[bri_nicolex]

The old design of the iPad 9th gen has me hung up, like I really suspect apple left the huge bezels on it to steer some people into buying the more expensive modern looking ipads. I want to like the regular one but I just ugh 😫

[crochetcreations]

I just bought the ipad Air 4 to replace my ipad air 2. I compared it to my daughter’s ipad 8. I like the larger screen and the better speakers, as well as the opportunity to use the second generation pencil. So far so good.

[Mira-rlmf]

Just bought the Ipad 9 because your Ipad 9 review. Thanks!
