Lightning connector. ❤️ Last of an era. 😢

The new ones with USB-C are basically Android tablets.

A very capable device. I wasted some $$$ getting the 5th gen iPad Air. The standard iPad would have been smarter.

Shame they don’t put the GPS chip in the wifi models

 

[Mr. Dee]

We have many of these at work and what I like about them is how light they are. If you just want a consumption device, its actually more than enough.

For a long time the best value for money piece Apple sells and IMHO the only iPad worth buying.

Must be an Amazon all time low price. Paid $249 at Costco early February to replace my wife‘s dead 5th Gen.

There are so many posts about great Amazon deals. Any tips for buying on Amazon? How do you discern between a legitimate deal and some scam/used product?

If you click the link, you'll see MR links directly to the "Apple Store" from Amazon.com (below the item description, you'll see a "Visit the Apple Store" link. The legitimate seller is directly from Amazon.com - easiest way to confirm is when you look at the Buy Box on the right, you want "Ships from: Amazon.com, and Sold By: Amazon.com".

Concerning the 9th Gen, has the 256 version more RAM than the 64?

Amazon Puts Counterfeit items and real items into Sold and Shipped by Amazon.com, it's 50/50 if you get a real or a fake. Got scammed from "Amazon.com" and will never buy from them again.

No, the RAM is the same. Only the iPad Pros have 16GB off RAM on 1TB and above.

 

[Zaft]

They are great iPads for web browsing, videos and games. They are limited with 3gb of ram, that’s about it.

 

[Eric H]

Can only purchase 3.

These are absolutely perfect for time clock kiosks, etc.

In a sane world this would be sarcasm but honestly these days I have no idea

Thinking about it... post is factual, regardless of intent. If iOS wasn't locked down and you put a version of Android on it, it would be indistinguishable from a Samsung tablet.

Wow, I won't say that's impossible, but feels like an edge case... What product did you get scammed on if you're comfortable sharing? I would hope especially for high-profile items like Apple products, Amazon.com as a direct seller would ensure it gets its stock directly from Apple...

I bought a Sandisk SD Card for my Mac, and when it came, the lettering was off compared to the old Sandisk which I bought at Best Buy, never again going on Amazon for Electronics.
