iPad 9: the best value for money
Presented at the same time as the iPad Mini 6, the iPad 9 may have kept the same design as the very first iPad released in 2010, it is still a benchmark on the market with an unrivaled quality / price ratio.
As between each generation, the basic iPad changes very little compared to its predecessor, but the firm at the apple takes care to offer ever-increasing performance and an improved camera. The front camera has also increased to 12 megapixels and supports the Center Frame function which was first seen on the iPad Pro M1.
His arguments have not changed in the end with very broad capacities for entertainment, games and office automation thanks to the A13 chip (which replaces the A12) found in the iPhone 11, but also the LCD panel of 10 .2 inches which was slightly enlarged on the 8th generation by trimming the edges. The screen is also the best in this technology.
Another advantage, there is always an autonomy of more than 10 hours in current use, a record for the category.
Finally, like the iPad 8, the iPad 2021 is compatible with the Apple Pencil and several accessories. All this for less than 400€.
In short, the iPad 9 is:
- A timeless design
- A 10.2 inch screen
- An A13 Bionic chip
- A 12 MP camera
