I have been offered fairly decent offers thru t-mobile for the 9th get iPad or the iPad Air. wondering what the better choice is, I am kinda leaning toward the iPad Air but not sure. figure it would complement my MacBook Air running Big Sur.
 
really nothing special, kinda thinking it would be nice to have internet wherever I would go especially on trips using a plane.... if we can ever go to places I want again, or if I don't want to carry the laptop with.
 
If it’s through his carrier, I’m sure it’s a cellular model then. If all you need it for so suffering the internet, then the iPad 9 is more then enough. The premium for the air is a want more than a need.
 
iPad 9
  • Costs a lot less
  • Better front camera, also has Center Stage
  • Lightning port, works with all your old accessories
  • Has a 3.5mm headphone port
  • Classic iPad design with big top and bottom bezels
iPad Air 4
  • More expensive device
  • Better rear camera, does 4K
  • USB-C port, can’t use your old iPhone cables
  • No 3.5mm headphone port
  • New iPad design with rounded corners
  • Laminated screen looks a bit nicer
