The 9th gen iPad isn't the most exciting tablet Apple makes but it does have some nice upgrades this year that makes it a really great entry level tablet for artist and illustrators.

Wow! Thanks so much for the huge shout out, Brad! Your take on Bob was superb!
Hi Krishna,
Just subbed you and now I am see you in the comments with rarely any likes
Cool art btw
@@RudraJMore thanks for the sub! :)
Now this is the kind of review we look for. Simple, elegant enough to be understood by any category of audience. On top of that, providing reasonable opinions while considering differences within range of products. No biases, whatsoever. I’m glad to have subscribed to Brad. And we get a bonus free drawing every time! Thanks man. 😎👍
:-}
31 layers might not sound very impressive when compared to 100+ of the Pro but that's still way more layers than what you get with traditional art while also being able to correct mistakes.
30 more layers, you could argue 😆
Most I use is 12. I'm good.
(with that. Not me being good. That)
most of the timei use like 4 or 5 then again im not very good at art
Wait, you guys use layers?
Spot on
Got mine today, 64 GB and of course the Apple Pencil. It's great, I love it, totally recommend this iPad to everyone. The value is just insane!
Can we run 3d modeling apps such as Nomad/Forger on iPad 9th Gen or iPad Air 2020? I am starting out as an artist. Please help.
nomad works pretty good on the ipad 8
@@p0stezz Thank you for responding. Really helpful!
How much actual storage do you get?
@@sauravhaldar1842 You get about 49 GB but I deleted GarageBand and iMovie for another 2 GB of storage so I had about 51 GB
We have an iPad from 2014 at home and it still works good enough to watch UA-cam or Netflix from time to time. It’s pretty slow but apps don’t actually crash that often. I don’t doubt at all a new iPad will be great for years to come, even if it’s a lower end one.
-Generation 9 IPad-So I have never treated myself to something this expensive and it was so worth it ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA , I definitely recommend getting the pricier one because it’ll be worth it. I don’t have a pc or anything (my husband has it all and now wants to take my iPad🤣) so having something like this is nice, I’m going to get a screen protector, also I’m using it to start drawing with, I would recommend getting a Apple pen on amazing and not the 200$ pens lmfao. It’s a real good iPad man I’m clumsy so hoping I don’t drop it
Big "thank you" for this review. Looks like the 9th gen is a great first iPad for me because I could watch you draw, and see you're diving down deep into light and shadow and fine details way more than I'm used to being able to do. Great to see that I can start at a price point, and grow my abilities.
Just ordered my wife a 10.2” 9th gen… she’s had a few models (original iPad & a few minis etc from work). The iPad Pro is an awesome tablet, and we’d both like to use it (I just got the new 16” MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip which is unreal!!) but the iPad Pro gets so pricey it’s almost a laptop, the you add on the Smart Keyboard, pencil, USB adapter for external hard drive etc & it gets very pricey… going with the 10.2” is still a great iPad for her (a casual user) and allows to add on the keyboard, pencil & dongles/adapters without going over $1k or more. I think it’s a good machine for most users.
I don't have any apple devices and I'm looking for a tablet to stream, draw, read, etc, and I don't have a big budget but I want something long lasting, so I'm considering this one because the price is too good. Now I think I'm going to get it. Thanks for the review.
Me too i do have android tablets and they are very laggy when i am gaming
@@sunnymist1198 This ipad is not for gaming. It only has 3gb. Better get the xiaomi tablet with 6-8gb
got my ipad 9 today and it's gorgeous! the 256 is great bc I can load it with a bunch of weighty rhythm games and not worry about it filling up (which is a big problem with my 64gb phone), and for my amateur doodles the lack of laminated screen is a non-issue
Wouldn't a galaxy tab S7/S7 fe have fit your use case better? With better ergos too(the pencil has somewhere to go) and it comes in the box
@@manaspradhan8041 it will not last nearly as long as the ipad 9, software support wise. I love android to death, but the lack of OS updates after 2-3 years are killing me.
@@onapersonalnote7045 for sure, but it was fine for our use case since getting an iPad Air with 128gb(because you can't expand it and apps take more space on ios, which essentially means an insanely short life) and an apple pencil was pretty much double the price
Im getting one in 2023 lol
Yep! iPads can definitely last a long time. I think one of my family members got about seven or eight years of actual use out of the iPad 2 (from 2011), and while it’s not really getting used more and the software is definitely old, the thing still powers on just fine, and could probably still work as a photo viewer or an e-reader. Mind, this is ten years after it released!. Same family member is currently using a 12.9 2015 Pro, and that is still happily working away and getting updates.
And I agree with your daughter. I also use an iPad 6 all the time at work for teaching (iPad Pro 11 inch at home for my own art). The 6 is maybe beginning to slow down a little, but still nothing that makes it feel frustrating or hard to use, and I’d guess I’m still a good couple years or so from needing to upgrade. I love the additional layers for art projects on my Pro and the larger storage, but the base model iPads really are nothing to sneeze at, and the 6 has been and continues to be a great little work device.
Heh, I'm also still using the 2015 12.9 iPad Pro. I'm thinking of finally getting an upgrade but I'm still undecided which iPad I'm going to get... I'm thinking of getting the 11" Pro. Then again, I might just wait until next year to upgrade as my 2015 iPad is still fine -- my phone is in dire need of an upgrade (still using a Samsung S8 lol... 5 years) so I think I ought to get an iPhone 13 Pro first this year.
My iPad 2 also still powers on! Not useable anymore due to software ofc, but still impressive
@@SunTurtle Oh man, tough choices! At least your iPad is still running well though. Every piece of tech has its moments of challenge, but iPads really do tend to be so dependable, broadly speaking.
@@ThaWolloW Totally impressive! I’ve used laptops that didn’t make it more than two years. Meanwhile, the iPads just keep trooping along. 😄👍🏻
My 6yrs old ipad air 2 is still so smooth that it doesn't really give a reason to upgrade, although I want to (for drawing purposes). If only the 9th gen ipad had laminated screen (I kinda don't like the feel of a non laminated, it doesn't feel like an upgrade given the condition of my air 2)
I'm really getting called out that the only reason why I can't decide between iPad 9th gen and iPad Air is because the iPad air looks so much better. 😅 This iPad 9th gen would have been perfect if iPad just reduced the size of the bezels
I feel the same way but I'm seeing lots of tech reviews saying that the bezels are actually a benefit, in that you have non active screen space for your fingers to rest when holding the ipad, instead of accidentally pausing video, etc.
Agreed, the bezels are good for artists.
idk man i have a lenovo tab p11 plus with wayy thinner bezels than the ipad and palms being registered is no problem. the ipad just looks old and stupid in my opinion especially considering other brands can do it for less.
Great review! I just picked up this combo for my daughter for Christmas! She is quite the artist and I think she is going to love this setup! Thank you!
Pretty easy decision for me to purchase an iPad gen 9 with the first apple pen. So much functionality for so little money. Not afraid to toss it in my bag and take it with me wherever I go. For work and play.
il be saving up for this! hopefully soon il be getting this!
Gl I'm doing the same
Best of luck 🍀🤞
I will be buying ipad mini6
How is the a13 chip and 3 GB ram, I haven't a clue about Apple tech.
@@santanu-fr it’s decent
Since Apple seems to be dead set in keeping this iPad design, they could have used it as a case study to see how sales (and reception) would be if they moved the front camera to the long side (camera in landscape).
What for?
eh, i don't think people would want to use iPad for taking pic
@ camera on landscape is better for video calls, it's like using a laptop. Cuz most people won't use an ipad for selfies anyway
@@yowko670 he was referring to the selfie camera so it’s in a better position for video calls
@@Izaatz ouh ok, sorry for that ig...
One thing I like about the base iPad vs the Pro is that battery life in Procreate is much better. I think it has to do to the 60hz display vs 120hz on the pro. I think Procreate has the Pro running at 120hz constantly and it kills battery life.
This is an awesome and comprehensive review and I am really impressed with the different aspects you’ve covered in it. Well done and top marks A+++
I'm really liking the new style and editing of your videos. It's like a refresh of the channel. Keep it up!
Just picked one up last week and have been in love with it so far
This is exactly the sort of review I was looking for. I don't care about the hardware specs or anything else that I can see for myself. I really want to know how it works with real-life tasks like drawing.
Don't get the standard ipad for drawing. Unless you want to stay on beginners forever
I just got one of these and it's great. I plan to get a better one later, but this gets me in the door and gets me back to using my graphic skills.
Thanks for your advices. I think that I saw 15 of your videos before decide wich iPad should by. Finally I'm getting the iPad 9th generation, I'll be back with new comments in a couple of months to let you know how it goes. Cheers!!!
How did it go? Would you mind doing me a favor? How many layers do you get on a 400by600 mm canvas with 300 DPI?
Can u give a review
Can’t wait mine is arriving today!
Thank you, I was just waiting for someone to talk about the screen as it’s not laminated when using the Apple pen and you showed us the difference! 😊
You just answer all question that i’d been scrolling through ipad review vid all day to looking for it. Thx!
Ooohhhh im excited to buy one!
This review is so useful thank you so so much brad❤️ stay safe guys!
My iPad Pro 9.7 is still alive and kicking. So glad apple still updated it to iPadOS15. Might consider getting the 9th gen since it is still compatible with the 1st gen pencil.
Great review Brad!
Yeah that’s exactly where I’m at right now! The thing that bugs me tho is that the screen isn’t laminated on the new iPad, and the mini looks really really cool so it’s a tough decision lol
I mean, my friend recently sold her children's 2nd gen ipad minis for $150 each, and she received offers and sold them off in half a day. Both were still working perfectly, the kids just outgrew them. These things have years in them.
Never thought about the years thing, I'll keep it in mind. Thank you!
Thanks for another informative video! I’m still using the gen 6 iPad with the Apple Pencil for my on-the-go art needs and note taking in animation school, I can say that I’ve never regretted the purchase! It hasn’t felt like it slowed down at all, but have been thinking of upgrading to the new base iPad or mini so I can give my dad my old one.
this is the first video that gives me the answer to: should i buy ipad 9 or ipad air 5? this one is absolutely fine for what i want to draw, thank you!
I really loved your entry into the video
Such creativity
the best review I have seen so far, thank you!
Watching this from my iPad 9th gen.
Same
Brad I actually had rewound the video thinking I had accidentally jumped to the end part 🤯🤣.
FEB 8, 2023: Been using the iPad Mini 2 since 2016 with no issues. But now it's time for a drawing tablet. So, I purchased the iPad 9 with Pencil 1 for a total cost of $368.00 before tax. I hope I'll be happy. 🙂
My ipad pro from mid 2017 died just now. It was functioning very well, but it just died. So... it lasted around 5 years heavy use. (Playing shooters, youtube, procreate and photo editing). I was angry at first, but looking at the point that it lasted 5 years - not bad at all.
But i think i'm getting this one, not pro
Got the kanvas 13 2020 because you reviewed it and gave it the thumbs up, gotta say I really do love it!!!!!
mine got light bleed around corners, how bout your, are there noticeable glows every corners?
@@zect556 nope, mine is perfect
I'm impressed they bumped the base storage from 32 to 64
It's still definitely not enough so you need to buy the upgraded storage anyways, the 256 gb is nice tho
@@manaspradhan8041 I got 2020 pro 256 last year so I don't need an upgrade anytime soon
@@manaspradhan8041 I prefer more storage, but it’s definitely enough for some people.
this so very nice for someone who has an ipad pro and wants to get this too i feel its really good
Finally a ipad worth of my money, i wish i can go to city now and buy this ipad, and its also my first apple product so im excited.
Ngl for art this is the best value for money, NO DOUBT.
Btw, great intro Brad 😂😂
I just bought it IPad 9 gen, quality is amazing…love it
I have an iPad Pro but need something smaller to read and do digital notes. This looks like a good choice
Hey Brad, i'm going off topic but given you're my favorite when it comes to art reviews i have to ask, the Sketchbook App released a new update fod IOS and i'm curious about it, even if i'm not an Apple user i still would like to see what has changed and what to expect when they release the Android update. So, could you make a review on it, please?
I'm joining! I would also like to know if there are any rumors about new drawing apps for android?
New subscriber, just brought this for my son and daughter and I will definitely look into your web for my son since he loves to draw. Thank you for your review
Just ordered one with a pencil as well, your video was super informative and helpful
I’m still using the 5th Generation iPad with iPadOS15, working as if I bought it yesterday. Really good! I just wanted to use the pencil with it, bot isn’t capable. But I can’t complain of a fully working 4 years-old iPad 💓
I have heard the Adonit pixel works well on your iPad. It might be worth checking it out.
@@maurorenard82 thanks mate!! I’ll check It 😉😉
I have a iPad from 2014, and yeah, they still work. Useless for arting since no pencil support, but it does show the amount htey hold up. Only Apple thing I own but I still recommend that as a result for that.
Awesome review. I just bought this and I have my Apple Pencil since my last iPad (a lot older iPad) got damaged. I’m looking forward to working on it.
Hey brad
I have ordered my ipad 9 gen coming soon....
Hey, great review, thank you so much! I’m buying an iPad for the first time, and had actually set my eyes on the iPad Air 4 because of the more modern look and the compatibility with the 2. gen pencil. However, I already own a macbook pro and an iPhone, so I’m not sure how much I’m going to use the iPad. I mostly want it for drawing, note taking, media consumption and recipes while cooking. Which one would you propose? - How much longer do you think the iPad air will last?
I bought the iPad 8 after watching your video and was it “a blast to use”? , F YEAH. My art experience has been amazing and I had no problems .My iPad never glitched or bugged since I bought it in March this year.
are the huge black bars a issue while watching movies
I just ordered one cause it was already sold out. Im feeling super excited to finally have a tablet to draw on (traditional artist) and every review of this one tells me the same thing. Best value out there. Great for the money spent, and so on and so forth. Feeling really good about this buy for sure ^^ thanks for the great videos!
Me too! Just bought the iPad my first one and pencil and I’m super excited! I am an amateur artist. Got it from Best Buy? Hey gb did you get? Also mine ship by by the 20th? What does that mean
I am an sketch artist and have drawn few coloured digital arts. And in sketching, I love our traditional pencil and paper. But when it comes to coloured drawing, digital art has much more features and more diverse compared to normal drawing. So, is it really good for that? I mean, a sketch would take much less layers but a drawing would take a lot of layers? And about I pad air or mini. Is it more worth it than this one? Because I can straight up say, I am student and I honestly can't buy I pad pro.
@@lee_rayyy58 i got the 64gb one ^^
I think it means its getting sent on that date. So you could expect ot have it a few days later, depending on where you are and where its shipping from ofc.
@@zedededdy8757 I think you would feel restricted by the size of the mini. Id say the choice would be between this iPad 9th gen and the Ipad Air.
@@Beskoeh thanks!
I much prefer the home button that you can actually press is better in my opinion
iPad is the only Apple product that I bought without feeling ripped off. The quality is worth the price
That was perfect, you answered questions I didn't know I had, thank you!!
I'm looking to upgrade from my 2016 iPad Pro, and from the looks of things they seem pretty much the same. It's kinda amazing to me that something considered Pro 7 years ago us the base model now lol
I hope Apple makes a 16 inch Ipad, using their own aspect ratio. That would be killer for drawing
Imagine trying to hold that thing, 12.9 inches is more then enough for most artists
Brhh, you good?
@@hammywammy6813 I wouldn't hold it, I would have it on a desk and draw on Procreate. But I do understand your point.
The problem is that Ipad is much more than a digital art device, and has to cater to a wider demographic. There are artists who like the apple pen but arent satisfied with a 12.9" screen. Which is why 24 inch pen monitors exist. Personally I don't like Wacom products much, and a 16 inch screen with Apple's tech would be perfect
I wish they made a 16 or 21 inch drawing tablet that’s not an ipad, just the display with pen support that we can plug into the mac. feels like that makes more sense than lugging around a massive ipad (or if it was a singular device that also ran mac os similar to the surface line, now THAT wold be killer, but ik apple will never)
It'd only be $45,000... Still no headphone jack either.
Very helpful video. It really enforced me to choose the vfm iPad. Thank you so much.
It will be amazing for making animations ...
Why is that?
@@zblus cause it comes with Apple pencil
@@parthobasak3532 wait no, you still need to buy the pencil separately
@@zblus yeah
I do really love the ipad 9 design
I think the iPad is the greatest invention ever,at the moment I’m using 7th generation but still have iPad 2 which I use for reading books on.Long live the iPad!
I've been waiting for a good deal on an iPad that has Apple Pencil support for my daughter to start learning digital art. I saw this iPad at Best Buy for $269 but wasn't sure if it was capable of being used as a beginner art studio. You've answered my question and put my worries to rest! Thank You!
Just got this model iPad and love using procreate on it for design school. The rear facing camera is like taking a photo with a potato. It is so granulated but again most people don’t use iPads to take photos but given how useful of a device is for presentation making, I would want a better rear camera to take better photos of design objects or textiles straight on there without bothering with airdrop. It’s still a great value
Can ipad 9 draw on flipaclip with multiple layer?
I use the iPad Air first generation and it still is a good device to have I use it to takes notes and play a little bit o fifa mobile
I got my mum an iPad mini in 2014 and she’s still using it. The glass is smashed, it’s slow but she loves it still, and I’m considering getting this one for her as her xmas gift, i think she’s gonna love it. I much prefer the button as it’s just like what she knows and she’s not into learning new stuff
The mini 5s are still available from some sellers if she prefers the smaller size.
BEEN waiting for this video ever since ipad9 was announced!! Thank you so much
My heart goes for the iPad Mini 6, but my wallet says this, but my brain and stomach say I need to eat.
relatable
Great review, just bought it. Thanks.
I'm still glad that this has the lightning port because I have an iPhone, so one charger is all I need
it's a great iPad but still waiting the basic iPad will be compatible with the Apple Pencil 2 😭 so hoping for next year!!
noh that will only happen when they make an apple pencil 3 , probably 5 years from now
at least its slightly cheaper to replace if broken
@@zect556 well the way it charges is one the main reasons it gets broken in first place
same, I have the 6th gen and I love it so much.. use it daily with no issues. my only reason to change is that I would like to use the faceID (doesn’t have it) and play Genshin (game often crashes). I just wish they kept the same size and the white design bc the 6th gen is just perfect in size and design for me
First time on the channel. Loved the creative starting "We're not done yet" 😄
I still using my iPad Pro 2th generation amd works fine. If I wasn’t looking to start to draw I wouldn’t event change
This is a great review. Thank you!
Hey Brad, I really like your videos, and the secondary channel you made, Brad's Art School, I really got hooked on it, can you make more videos like that as I am an Engineering Student and wanna learn more about Designing.
I really love your reviews.
I'm watching this on my iPad 4! It's laggy and long in the tooth now, but it still looks good and plays video just fine. It's about 8 years old maybe?
Great way to spice up this video Brad. Always enjoyed your content, and still do. But this bit was funny!
OK. I legit thought I turned video on and it was playing from the end xDD
Yep, definitley buying this. While I love our iPad from 2014, it crashes a lot when i try to draw now.
0:00 - 0:45 turn this into a shorts it's amazing
I’m upgrading from the 2nd gen iPad to this. I should get it sometime next month. :)
Just merge the layers when you done a part to keep the layers down
My iPad Air is over 6 years old. Paid an extra $100 to get 32 G. 😏 I keep it on all day and use it several times a day. Starting to get app notifications that the version is no longer supported. But 12.5.5 is the highest it will go. Ordered generation 9. iPads are getting so complicated and on overload. I don’t play games or download movies. Expected delivery tomorrow.
I wasn't paying attention to the video at first and when I heard your outro song in the beginning of the video, I freaked out 😅
You make me making my decision. I'll go with this ipad 9 for my upgrade from a pen tablet. I think latency would not be an issue unless you draw so fast 🙄
I came here a year later from your iPad 10 review. I got the 9th Gen back in January and feel no real need to upgrade, so I came here to see what you thought of the 9 back when it released. Kind of curious to see which one would you recommend over the other now that we have two budget iPads in the lineup being sold by Apple at once.
I just got my 9th gen iPad yesterday. I am at university I already have a laptop and I didn’t need all the other iPads this works really fine I love it
I know, I'm missing the point of all this but I couldn't unsee, that you forgot to erase some lines that go through the 3 cables(?) above the character :D
Anyways...still love your content, and the intro was hilarious ;)
I’m watching this on my iPad 9th gen. I just got it today!!!! I love it!
How is the drawing experience?
@@santanu-fr I haven’t got an Apple pencil yet to try it. But so far this thing is crazy fast!
@@spiderhamsandwich9756 thanks
I'm glad Brad didn't drop this video yesterday. Samsung was having an insane sale that had the Tab S7 and S7+ selling for $330 and $410 without trade-in.
--I was actually so mad cause I bought my S7 months ago for 440...
Whoops! I ordered this based on your review but didn't realize the Gen 2 Pencil is not supported! Running down to Best Buy to grab a gen 1 before it arrives.
Kinda lame on Apples side to not add support. Will it not work at all? Couldn't I just charge it on a separate USB C cable?
Is it just me or when I see u drawing on it , this Ipad seems very little in screen size! I actually wanted to buy it but seeing how little it is, it made me doubt!
Thanks for the review, I want to get an iPad so I can use procreate with my daughter because she’s into it and I want to learn. But that being said I don’t want to spend iPad air and iPad Pro range pricing especially when I have to buy the pencil and a case.
Hey Brad, your review convinced me to order an ipad. So thanks a ton! What case, stand or cover would you recommend for a sturdy and great sketching experience on the iPad 2021 9th gen?
i would love to see you compare this with Tab S7 FE
Loved the review
That video is super helpful. Thank you!!
One question- if Im purchasing it for drawing purposes do I purchase a screen protector as well? Or it will interfere with the pen preformence?
Yes… what I’ve really been waiting for Huzzah 🙌 🥳
guys do not be scared of non laminated,its hardly noticeable
Agreed 100%.
