This tablet is fantastic. It’s older, but still works just as good as my iPhone 13 Pro Max. I don’t see a difference in screen quality, or functionality. The only difference is size. This tablet is fantastic for travelling, I own 2 of them and they keep my kids busy for hours on long road trips. I like using my tablet for online shopping as well, the products are easier to see on the 10 inch screen. If you are looking for a tablet that functions and doesn’t break the bank, this is the one I will recommend.

My husband just recently purchased this Ipad 2 9th generation for me for my birthday. So I have only had it for about two weeks. So far I'm loving it. My ipad 2 that I had for over 9 years had recently crashed. My husband knew how much I was missing it. After reading some reviews on here I decided to go with this one. It was on sale for under $300 at Walmart. I'm thinking it was like $260. I also took out a two year warranty. My kids had broke my other ipads screen. This way my screen will be covered with my warranty. This ipad has so many new cool features. I'm still not use to them yet. It has 64 gb which is plenty of storage for me. So far the battery life is great. It last days before needing charged. I use this ipad everyday. I've still not figured out how to ... MoreMy husband just recently purchased this Ipad 2 9th generation for me for my birthday. So I have only had it for about two weeks. So far I'm loving it.

So far the battery life is great. It last days before needing charged. I use this ipad everyday. I've still not figured out how to retrieve all my photos and music from my previous ipad. Hopefully I will get the hang of it in time and be able to get them. Other than that I really love this ipad.

I love the larger size of this iPad. I was previously using the iPad Air and decided I needed a new one. It’s fast and has an A13 chip and an ultra wide front camera. It takes great photos and is an improvement over my previous IPad. The graphics are nice and clear and the colors are vibrant. I bought the model with 256 GB of storage. The battery life is brilliant and lasts for a few days for me on a single charge. I use my IPad for FaceTime and the quality is great. I also play games and watch movies, as well as take notes and check emails. Definitely recommend

Number 1) it’s durable I’ve dropped it at least twice in the year that I’ve had it, no chipping or cracking (I k ow astonishing for an apple product). 2) convenient: being logged into the same Apple ID let’s me take calls and messages from either my phone or tablet. Meaning I never have to carry both at once. 3) functional: I’ve never had a problem with it losing storage space, or hardware issues. Been super reliable through and through. Plus with help from a 3rd party software I’m able to stream my iPads screen onto my PC to share in conference/group calls for all around conscience.

Affordable, easy to use, fast - repeat ipad buy

My first ever tablet was the ipad2. 8 years later, the iOS 9 is not keeping up with apps, websites, etc. so I bought this 8th generation iPad. Nothing negative to say about this iPad EXCEPT that while Apple increased the overall length and retracted the bezels to give us the 10.2 inch screen, they shortened the overall width (see my picture with the 9.7 inch ipad2 side by side), so the half inch increase in screen size does not do jack squat to give you the feeling that you are looking at a significantly larger screen! That said, this toy is as easy to use as ever, with fast loads of everything, best option for those who just want to do email, webinars, plus web browsing without pulling out a clunky laptop, keep notes, photos, etc. in one place - with almost zero ... MoreMy first ever tablet was the ipad2. 8 years later, the iOS 9 is not keeping up with apps, websites, etc. so I bought this 8th generation iPad.

APPLE does still excel at minimizing user expertise on how to work a device! THANK YOU STAPLES, for carrying APPLE in your stores and online. Got this in the store when it was sold out online for a slightly lower price, so thank you again.

Daughter loves it!

I got this for my daughter with the iPhone promotion, and she gets an iPad and I get to try the cute little iPhone 13 mini.My daughter has been enjoying this tablet. I thought that maybe 64 GB might not be enough, but it has not been a problem yet. She is able to play roblox just fine on it, and she can start practicing digital drawing. She a great pen to paper type of artist, so I'm excited to see what she can create digitally, as there are no limitations like supplies besides your imagination. All she really needs is the iPad and the Pen, and if she wanted to get fancier then pen tips or even different pens and the matte screen protectors for that more paper feel.I'm glad she is enjoying it. She wanted more color options, but it was either the space gray or ... MoreI got this for my daughter with the iPhone promotion, and she gets an iPad and I get to try the cute little iPhone 13 mini.My daughter has been enjoying this tablet.

She wanted more color options, but it was either the space gray or the silver. I also thoght that since it was an older generation of iPad that it might be slow or not have as many features as the newer models, but honestly there probably isn't evena huge different from this one than the next generation.

Defective device

The power button doesn’t always work I noticed this when I received it in December but I assumed it was the way my son was pressing it being that I hadn’t had an iPad in years. That clearly wasn’t the case. It was faulty some times it seen you only had to touch it to power on off others you had to push as hard as possible like it was broken. Then the screen became glitchy after a month but it don’t happen often so I ignored it. Bad ida the screen went out now it’s just black and white stripes. I was told that i never had insurance on the device when I opted in a few weeks after purchasing the device. I was told in store that I had warranty and they couldn’t see any cracks behind the glass that they could send it off for a replacement but if they found a crack later ... MoreThe power button doesn’t always work I noticed this when I received it in December but I assumed it was the way my son was pressing it being that I hadn’t had an iPad in years.

Smh

Don’t get this!

I thought it would be a good idea to get a refurbished iPad for college, but I was deeply disappointed in this product. The outer shell was damaged with pry marks from removing the screen. There was excess glue with hair on the edge of the screen and on the screen. The screen was replaced with a plastic one where you could hardly glide your finger on it. It wouldn’t fully charge only up to 57% and was very very slow. Would not recommend. Get ur refurbished items off of apples website! More reliable!

Great iPad - 9th Generation

Not every new generation is an improvement for everyone. I decided that the Apple iPad (9th Generation) was a better fit for my use. Unless you are a "gamer" or have a need for the "latest and greatest" this iPad is a powerful and more reasonably priced option. The camera is fantastic. The thumb print ID makes it very secure. And it will satisfy all but the most demanding with years of super service. This was a long term decision for me, as it replaces an 8 year old iPad.

Rebecca's review of Apple iPad 10.2-inch (8th Gen) Wi-Fi 32GB - Space Grey

Pros: The battery life is excellent on this iPad. Better than others I’ve had in the past. I don’t use it for anything too ambitious just general browsing, social media, emailing etc and it’s fab. I only need to charge every once a week. It’s Very light to hold so no aching hands and wrist. Very Easy to use. It’s fab. Brilliant charger included with the iPad (USBC) it charges the iPad to 100% in no time at all.Cons: No, nothing that I can think of. A free Apple pen in the box would be nice but that’s not going to happen!
