Question Should I wait for iPad 10 or buy the iPad 9 now?

[Jim_8_]

Hello everyone. So I am not really in a rush to buy an iPad. I never previously owned an iPad so I want to get into the ecosystem. I will mainly use it for media consumption and occasionally gaming. I may also buy the apple pencil in the near future for some sketching. A must for me is a 3.5mm headphone jack since I have family in the house and I want privacy in the content I watch. Wireless headphones are expensive and die quickly so I need a wired solution. I would really appreciate your opinion on this matter. Thank you in advance.

If you wait forever you’ll never buy anything and I believe you’ll need a small adapter cable to plug in your 3.5 mm headphone jack. The adapters are inexpensive and work with the phones as well

The basic iPads all have a headphone jack including the iPad 9.

Then what are you waiting for?

Because the iPad 10 may be better overall at the same price. We don't know the specs yet but from what I read it will have an A14 Bionic Chip and a new design similar to the iPad Air without the huge bezels.

Knowing how Apple price their new releases, I'd be very surprised if the iPad 10 didn't cost (perhaps considerably) more than the iPad 9

Wait for the iPad 10 to come out, then see which one works better for you for the use case you're doing.

There are also USB-C dongles with a headphone jack and a charging port. Yes it's a dongle, but you don't have to sacrifice doing one thing or the other.

He seem to think that it had a headphone jack and I know he’s confused

There is no chance that it’s going to be cheaper it’s going to be more expensive and you can count on it take that to the bank so you better buy the one you can afford

I hate to break it to you but the good old days of low prices are gone and they’re not coming back ever

If you’ve got the money and you want one buy one now or you’ll forever be waiting for the next one coming out and that’s my point. If you want a premium product you’re going to pay a premium price there is not going be "any cheaper" involved.
