Hi guys,
I'm rocking an iPad 9th Generation as of 2026, and I'm currently in a dilemma. As y'all know, the iPad 9th Generation is on the border for support territory wth iPadOS 27, which means that I have two options: Upgrade to a new iPad ( I'm thinking of next year's iPad Air 11-in. with M5 ) or keep my own one. I originally plan to do the first one, but seeing prices go up, I'm starting to consider keeping my iPad until 2030 or 2032. I do light gaming, normal web browsing, PDF annotation with Collates, and the usual productivity stuff. I also considered doing light editing work on it before but I got a new MacBook Air so there's no need for that. My battery health is around 88.5% and the A13 Bionic sometimes lags but is still usable. I suspect that's because of my old Wi-Fi network which was stuck in the 2010s.
So what should I do? Please advice.
