Hey guys,

I'm sure there are many people in the same position as me so I made this thread to help others.

I was literally about to buy the iPad 8 2020, but with the release of the iPad 9 2021 I've been doing a lot of research to find the differences between the two.

I searched the front page of MacRumors as I trust MacRumors 100% but the iPad 9 isn't mentioned.

The biggest question I have and can't find an answer to is the RAM in the new iPad 9 2021? The old iPad 8 2020 had 3GB of RAM, but 3GB seems a bit poultry in 2021 so I was hoping the iPad 9 2021 would have more than 3GB of RAM?


I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting links from Gsmarena as they're not a competitors to MacRumors.

I could post links from other websites I researched, but I didn't want to break any rules here on MacRumors.

Specs differences:

iPad 8 2020:

Thank you for any advice!
