What ipad should i buy?

[frozen bloom]

i am going to use the ipad for gaming, (roblox) mostly, and watch youtube videos, discord, and such. I don’t know what ipad i should get? anyone have any good suggestions? (expect the ipad pro, too much money lol.)

I would recommend the iPad Air for this.

Can do pretty smooth gaming in my opinion and pretty cheap.

I would avoid the 9th gen and 10th gen, the specs are too old. The 10th gen is using 4 year old tech. The 9th gen is 5 years behind and there's not enough RAM to run the newest OS smoothly. Only option is iPad Air.

The mini is worth considering at least… but that aside both the 10th gen and Air will work for what you want

You aren’t demanding much which is why the 10th gen would do ok

The 10th gen can still handle what OP does on their iPad. But the specs are getting old (it uses the same specs as the iPhone 12 and iPad Air 4), so longevity isn’t gonna be too great. Avoid the 9th gen completely though, it struggles with modern iOS due to it only having 3GB of RAM.

Yeah, don’t get the 9, I will agree with that

The A13 could handle OP’s tasks, except the RAM is not enough. iPadOS 18 struggles with 3GB.

3 gb of ram is fucking insane 💀

Yeah the 10 prob would work fine Roblox hardly needs ram and is incredibly optimized for mobile since that's where the majority of it's user base is
