iPads: Choosing Wisely
At first glance, a ninth-generation iPad priced at $200 seems appealing, but caution is advised. This model, which features outdated technology dating back to 2019, might become obsolete quickly due to limited operating system updates. Instead, something like the 10th Generation iPad, which boasts a more modern design and features like a USB-C port, could be a better investment.
However, for those willing to spend a bit more, the 6th Generation iPad Mini for about $390 offers longer longevity thanks to its A15 chip, comparable to those used in the latest iPhones. Importantly, when shopping for iPads, be vigilant about the compatibility of various Apple Pencils, as not all work with every model.
