And I’m still on 9th gen I have two iPad 9th gen as well, which have 3 GB of RAM. Compared to our iPad 9th Gen, the upcoming iPad 12 gen is expected to have 8 GB RAM, 2x performance and 2x storage. I think we'll be upgrading. I use mine for reading, which reading is fine, but I manage so many books

I've played since launch mostly on a variety of iPads and this has been a constant problem for me until recently. I think the game is just poorly optimised for the relatively low RAM present in Apple devices and it's only gotten worse as they've added more content over the years. It became almost un

“I wouldn't see a problem running iPadOS 26 on iPad 9th generation, it has A13 Bionic chip which works great. And you are comparing iPhone with iPad” “First of all, iPhone and iPad are different devices (but still in some ways they are similar), and the experience will be more than decent on it.” If

Apple released the iPad A16 nearly 2.5 years later after the iPad 10th gen. I think as they have launched so many new products and focusing the budget macbook particularly this time they won't launch the base ipad with the updated a18/a19 chip so soon as it could have cannibalised their sales for th

iPad , I literally sold them all (iPad 9th gen / 10th gen / 11th gen known as A16 / air M1 and M2 and iPad mini 6th gen) along with their Apple Pencil (either 1st or 2nd gen or USB C) They’re kinda pricey but worth it for the long run

I have an iPad 9th gen (2019) and it still gets the latest iOS updates. 7 years support + 2 years of security updates made apple rule the tablets market. I am not an apple fanboy but I cannot ignore the fact that even their base model (400$) has the biggest life circle in the market.

9th gen iPad should be ok for basic recording either Cubase, Garageband, or Logic. The biggest issue is that the hub may disconnect at random times if it isn’t a fully class compliant device. The only way to know is to get the USBC to lightning adapter and try it out to see if it works. If it doesn’

It takes my iPad 9th gen to zero % battery overnight. Never had this problem until updating to OS 26. I did send a message to Apple. Starting the transition back to Android with a new Galaxy tablet.

i was in the exact same spot last year - 8th gen 32gb was dying on storage and i really didn't want to lose the headphone jack. pulled the trigger on a 256gb 9th gen and honestly it's been solid. iPadOS 26 runs fine for GarageBand and general use; it's not a speed demon but it's perfectly usable. th

looks at comments for any useful information sees that everyone is commenting how Apple users are never satisfied, are too stupid to even know what they want and people responding to others' posts just to imply they are stupid and that the new iOS is actually just fine/very bad *posts mild snark com
