USB-C on the 10th gen is limited to the same data transfer rate as lightning, but you can play videos directly off of a usb c thumb and a player like VLC. The 9th gen needs the camera adapter and the adapter needs to be connected to a charger to use most non-lightning thumb drives and playing media off of a lightning drive is much less straightforward. The M1 Air at $400 is going to hold up a lot longer with double the RAM of the 10th gen and it has a full 10Gbps usb 3.2 interface, so transferring files to and from an external drive can be up to 30 times faster. The matching keyboard folio is dirt cheap used and locks into position, so it's a much more stable stand than the 10th gen's kickstand and floppy Magic Keyboard. It's also compatible with the ipad pro Magic Keyboard, which has a similar stability advantage and allows you to connect a charger and a usb device simultaneously without needing a hub. This is really nice when you need to charge and use wired headphones. On that note, Apple's usb-c headphone adapter is really quite good and is substantially better than the lightning adapter. It has enough power to drive my 250 ohm DT770s to reasonable listening levels, where the lightning adapter can't.
You'll also get 2-3 years more major OS updates with the M1 vs. the 9th gen. It's hard to tell with the 10th gen. It may get dropped sooner than the M1 due to its RAM limitations. The 6th gen with 2GB is getting dropped in 18 while devices with the same CPU and 3GB are getting the update.
10.9 inch screen vs 10.2
Usb-c native

People aren't just on slickdeals for deals but also knowledge sharing and recommendations. Lots of people are on the fence between the models. If I can get 3 more years out of the 10th gen vs 9th gen I say it's well worth the $50.
The 9th gen is from 2021. But obviously get what works with your lifestyle. This is still an awesome price but I'm hoping the 10th gen gets a better price for a little more $$

I think you can still use the netflix app. You just have to download from apps you already own, and it will download an older/compatible version.

FYI: Costco is limit 2 and they charge $4.99 shipping for each one.

You will see the final price of 49.99 in the cart. Solid deal and I just snapped it on my fresh 199 iPad 9th gen.

People complaining about only 3GB of RAM... well... look at the price....
And if you can get 10th gen for only $50 more, well then post how to do it! I would gladly pay $50 more for 10th gen... but it's not $50 more.....
