WHY PAY MORE!? iPad 9 vs iPad 8

Should you buy the iPad 9 or the iPad 8? Should you upgrade from the iPad 8 to the iPad 9? The iPad 9 is BETTER than the iPad 8 - there’s really no question about it. BUT, assuming you can get the iPad 8 for LESS, is it still worth getting the 9? And also, are there ANY REASONS why some people may WANT to upgrade from the iPad 8 to the 9?

Looking at the design, these two iPads are essentially identical. They have the same body, same size display, and the same volume controls and power button. A few minor differences are that the iPad 8 is available in Rose gold and that the Silver iPad 8 comes with white bezels instead of the black ones on the iPad 9. Other than that, they look the same. And personally, I think I like the black bezels better because the air gap - which I’ll talk about later - is less noticeable.

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the iPad 9 4 and the iPad 8 was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?

I don’t have an iPad. The 9th Gen is going to be my first one! Thank you for the video!

I just got a seldom used, mint condition 128gb ipad 8 for less than the price of a 64gb ipad 9 as my brother had to constantly borrow my laptop for his online classes. This thing is a beast. I’m shocked at the amount of things I could do with it. I bought a logitech rugged folio and an apple pencil and I sometimes forget that I have a laptop lol. I do photoshop work, video editing, music production, and work with my iPad 8 and it has not disappointed me at all

I'm planning on getting the iPad 9, as my old aging iPad air 1st gen is showing its age (it came out when the iphone 5s was new, yikes lol)

[FilipKotula]

the ipad 9 is my first ipad i bought it for university and honestly its great for note taking with the apple pencil ! i was worried it would be really cheap considering it's the cheapest in the lineup but i really like it

I personally bought the 9th gen iPad mostly due to the increased storage. 64 GB is perfect for me and I don't have to pay extra for more storage (which I would have done on the iPad 8th gen because 32 GB is not enough imo).

I just traded in my iPad 8 32 gig at Best Buy for the iPad 9 64 gig for a total out of pocket expense of 117.00…I think it was totally worth the upgrade for all the extra features..put my 9 in a case protector the second I unboxed it…I will keep my 9 in excellent condition just in case I feel the need to trade in for next years 10…thank you for doing this comparison!…I am very happy with my 9th gen iPad and would recommend to everyone!

I have an 8, got it in Jan of 2021 and still works flawlessly to this day. Battery life is unbelievably good for what I do (stream and watch movies, TV shows, YouTube, etc). I think if they make a 10th gen or if they have already, I'll upgrade to that.

After binge watching all your reviews on iPad, I just bought iPad 9 yesterday. totally worth it! The only thing I don’t like about it is the one sided speaker, but the 3.5 mm for headphone can compensate it. I don’t like wearing Bluetooth headphone.

I’m using the 8 right now, and I’m perfectly fine with it. I’d recommend that you buy the 9 if you want a few extra features, or get a 8 if you’d like to get it 100 dollars cheaper, with still perfectly fine internals.

8th was my first iPad and I'm in love with it. Definitely not updating for at least 2 more generations

I bought both 8th gen and 9th gen iPad. I got the 8th gen for my wife on OfferUp almost brand new for $200.00 and a week later got myself a 9th gen. Both 10.2. I never really noticed the difference. I told her that the only difference that felt was that the 8th was released in 2020 and the 9th in 2021

Been waiting for this review. I think you are the first tech who showed the difference from the iPad 8 vs iPad 9. Really appreciate the reviews. My cousin is waiting for the iPad 9 to be available here in the Philippines. God Speed to your channel sir.

I'm still using my 5th gen iPad having discovered Adonit Pixel stylus pen works on it with pressure sensitivity. I'm a classic artist who's not into extreme digital art. I use my near vintage 5th gen to doodle and do quick sketches.

[omarjaved]

I just upgraded from the iPad 7 to the iPad 9 and I don’t regret my decision.
I feel the difference as the iPad 7 was really slow and the new iPad is just really smooth

[kittylolol]

I ordered 8 a week ago, but canceled and pre-ordered 9 after the apple event. I'm so happy 😊

[ShivamSingh-xfnb]

Been Waiting for this!!...Appreciate the work man! :)

[Micika]

I have the 8 as I bought it last year I have the 32gb and it works fine for playing games, watching videos, taking notes, drawing and other stuff I wish I got the 128gb but I was on a budget so this is what I opted for 😊

[collegemathematics]

"Buy it nice or buy it twice" .. i think of this say whenever i buy anything now.. thanks man your doing good job.
