iPad (9th generation)

iPad (9th generation) was Apple's entry-level iPad model, launched in 2021.

A newer model with a major redesign and price bump was announced the following year, though this device remained on sale as the budget entry-level option.

This was the final iPad model to use a home button, before the lineup fully switched to the new design.

iPad (9th generation) began at 64GB of storage and was compatible with Apple Pencil (1st generation).
