I agree I'd go with 10th gen for the extra $50 but I have two 9th gen iPads at home and they run fine with web and gaming workloads. Your battery might be going or perhaps storage is nearly full.
Not my experience. Maybe sluggish on demanding games but everything else is snappy.
edit: I don't use Safari but I just gave it a try to test out your comment. I am able to open 5 tabs on different major websites and switch between them with no issues.
Not my experience either. Mine is snappy with no lag with streaming videos, web, Reddit, etc. Last iPad with a headphone jack but on the downside it still uses lightning cable.

Extremely sluggish tablet going into 2025. Spend the extra $50 on the 10th gen. The 9th should be under $100 now, it can barely run Safari without reloading tabs. ,

I would agree, spend the $50 and get the 10. But sluggish is nonsense. We have an original iPad Air that is still going strong for streaming and surfing.
I have a good reason to suspect we will see these for less before end of the year. I am thinking 179.00 before coupons, cb etc. Maybe even the 10th gen for about 20ish less than it is now on sale. So if you need it by Xmas maybe wait and see but they will deff be @ 199 and 249 as well so no rush.

I grabbed a couple of these last year at this price and all work fine for basic web surfing, streaming, magazine/comic reading. I thought they'd be closer to $150 now, but it's not a bad deal.
Best part about this vs the 10 is the headphone jack, which is great if you have younger kids going on a road trip. No idea how they keep turning off Bluetooth or unpairing their BT headphones, but they do.

Yep, lightning port is the biggest downside to this tablet.

Yep. Works very well for most use cases. Amazing that the price has held at $200 for almost 3 years now!

Don't forget that the 9th Gen has the physical "Home" button. Swiping on the 10th Gen is such a hassle.
