iPad 9th Gen
Apple surprised us by kicking off its California Streaming event with a new iPad powered by a new A13 Bionic processor. According to Apple this new chip will deliver 20% better performance and it's 3x faster than a Chromebook and 6x faster than a Windows laptop. Additionally these new iPads come with a 12MP, 122-degree ultrawide angle camera so they can take advantage of iPadOS 15's new center stage feature that makes video calls more dynamic by following you as you move around the room.
The iPad 9th Gen will be available for order today and ship next week. 64GB models start at $329 so you get double the storage over the last generation. Educational users will be able to purchase the lastest iPad for as little as $299.
