The Most Affordable iPad That Bangs for Your Buck!

Edited: Jan 29, 2022, 5:15 PM

Phone owned for less than a year

It's about time that Apple released another generation for the iPad and as you can expect, this iPad kicks ass when it comes to its awesome price range. What's new in this iPad Generation? A13 Bionic, True Tone Display, 32GB to 64GB storage upgrade, Facetime Center Stage, and lots of Apple multimedia features that will get people invested into Apple's latest budget friendly device. As a user that never used an Apple product software and never owned an iPad or iPhone before, I must admit that the software is pretty easy and simplistic to use for casual users. It may lack the deep customization features that Android is known for when it comes to open-source usage, but iOS for iPad is exceptional all around. This 9th generation iPad is probably the best things that Apple ever done when it comes to pricing that appeals to everyone, especially for those that never owned or afford anything from Apple before. If I were being honest, I would pick this iPad up in a heartbeat because it's truly an amazing device that anyone could afford especially as a gift or an entry level device before switching to a flagship Apple product if anyone is curious on using Apple's iOS software capabilities.
