Anyone have idea on the A13 chip? it mentioned it's an upgraded A13 chip. It is means it's performance is better than previous A13 chip?
*
Same A13 chipset. Upgraded meaning from A12 to A13. 20% improved performance from A12

64GB

Reason being..not going to use it for photos or videos. Streaming YouTube. Studying and working so that involves emails and google docs... really not going to store any files on it. Previously for 8th Gen, 32GB...I may upgrade..but 64GB is more than sufficient.
*
Im planning to get the 256gb but uncertain whether will be used. Probably will download plenty offline content on youtube and netflix.

Apple is really clever. 8th gen Ipad they sell 128gb version, but the latest 9th gen Ipad, they sell it 256gb and increase more price due to the storage.

8th gen Ipad 128Gb version selling below RM2K. biggrin.gif

I decided to get 9th gen Ipad instead of Ipad Mini 6, but still unsure whether I should buy 64gb or 256gb version. The price differences are really a lot. RM1.5k and RM2149.  sweat.gif  rclxub.gif
*
Same dilemma. Im just trying to convince myself that the 128gb ipad 8 cost rm18++ so the increase in price for 256gb ipad 9th gen justifies for the chipset, storage and the camera. So that's why i might grab the 256gb model insteas of the 64gb.

I m using iPhone 11, 4gb ram is just enough.

For iPad, u definitely need 4gm ram and above.

Thanks for the input. Will look into it.

Just Sharing some of the accessories that's worth looking into

UGreen Stylus (wait for promo I got mine around RM80+ only)
http://surl.li/alann
Check China website for review seems to be the best choice among other alternative brands and reliable brand. Some other similar price but hit and miss if u check review some after few days didnt work.

iPad Keyboard Casing with Pen Slot and Backlight Keyboard
http://surl.li/alanu
Decent size backlit is a plus and gesture supposingly works and this new version now is with TypeC! biggrin.gif
Lightning to HDMI (without power useable)
http://surl.li/alaob
Used to be only official can do so based on review this works and its cheapp so why not.

Last but not least
Ugreen Type C to Lightning Cable
http://surl.li/alaoh

Only buying this cause they are much more reliable than any other cable. Their promo RM2 type C cable lasted me for 3-4 years and still works with charging QC3 and Data delivery, MicroUSB as well hence I trust them quite well. smile.gif
That's all haha all my accessories is here d and pending left iPad next month
*
Any lightning to USB A or C female connection ports available? Want to transfer some files from flash drive. Not sure if this could be done.

Any suggestion as to which model I should consider.
Ipad 9th gen vs ipad air 3 (used)

Just general  usage like media consumption, social media, drawing (for the kids) etc.

Looking for a better display device if possible

From paper the display is the same I presumed
2160x1620 resolution at 264 ppi (ipad 9th)
2224x1668 resolution at 264 ppi (ipad air 3)

Anything else I should be aware of.

Thanks
*
no brainer. definitely go for the ipad 9th gen.
better chipset means better performance for years to come.
better front facing camera. you never know till you require to use it.

Yeap kinda have to agree newer is always better (not just newer model but brand new unit last longer in terms of internal/external as well)..
*
not to forget the support for the next 5-6 years.
definitely a good choice if able to get hands on a stock or if able to wait.

I initially also wanted to go with goodojog but seeing reviews i u check 1-2 star there are still quite a few with issue with them too. Ended gone with Ugreen cause I used their other product and none of them failed me yet.. Happy customer now haha. The palm rejection works fine too on ugreen one. Just wait for promo around RM80+
*
The goodojog 12th gen stylus is very impressive. Sleek and clean design. No usb ports, charging using magnetic adapter. The magnetic feature is exceptionally good. Does not budge even when I try to shake the ipad.
Good battery life for now. Very happy with the product. I think users should consider goojodoq and ugreen stylus for their reliability.
