9th gen iPad still viable in 2026?

“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

iPad 12th gen..

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

Magic drawing pad replacement

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.

I need serious help, I am a newbie, and this isn’t working and I don’t know how to use the equipment I have.

9th gen iPad still viable in 2026?

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

Getting buyer’s remorse

I'm not really an Apple user EXCEPT for the iPad. I have a mid range Samsung phone and a xiaomi for work. My laptop is Windows. I don't regularly splurge on gadgets is what I'm saying. But when it comes to my tablet, I prefer iPads despite the premium. I had a Samsung and various other android table

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

Best 3DS setting for iPad 9th gen

The 9th generation iPad is powered by the Apple A13 Bionic chip, therefore I would recommend sideloading Manic EMU and enabling JIT compilation for the best possible 3DS emulation. We have a full tutorial on this in our Discord linked in the app, and u/myretrospirit has some great tutorials on this
