If you’re upgrading from an iPad released in 2019 or earlier, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how zippy the newer iPads are. I compare gadgets for a living and only could tell that the newer A14 Bionic processor found in the 10th-generation iPad had a slight edge when editing 4K videos on both devices. However, most users won’t be able to tell the difference in performance between the ninth- and 10th-generation iPads in their day-to-day use. Instead of pressing the home button to exit and switch between apps, you swipe up on the touchscreen display using your thumb or fingers on Apple's newer iPads.īrandon Carte You Don’t Care About Having the Fastest ProcessorĪpple says the newest iPad has a 20% boost in performance over the ninth-generation model. Whether you have vision-or mobility issues and rely heavily on your tablet’s home button, or you just are stubborn and aren’t ready to give up on your home button just yet - you should know that the iPad 9th generation will likely be the last iPad with a home button.

Basically, Apple stuck the selfie cam in the bezel on the long edge of the screen, while every other iPad has it on the shorter edge of the screen. It Packs Superior CamerasĪlthough the 10th-generation iPad’s front-facing camera is the same 12MP ultrawide lens as last year’s model, it’s now optimized for landscape orientation. Although the 9.7-inch iPad 9th Generation’s display is still captivating and great for watching videos or getting work done, the newer iPad without a doubt looks nicer and feels more premium. I tested the yellow variant, which helped it stand out more than my old silver iPad, helping avoid misplacing it on a constant basis. The device has flat aluminum edges, feels great in your hands, and comes in blue, pink, silver, and yellow.
