Apple iPad (9th generation)
Amazon

At the moment, the iPad (9th generation) is the least expensive iPad you can buy.

This model also allows users to download and install additional apps from the App Store.

Its performance is a bit slower than newer models, and its screen offers a lower resolution. And the tablet also runs using an older processor. Yet, for a young user, this version of the iPad is more than adequate. 

If you plan to give the iPad to a young child, we highly recommend a kid-friendly, full-body case to protect it from accidental spills, drops and other potential damage. 

For a younger user, the iPad 9th generation is a great entry-level option. For more help choosing the perfect iPad for the person you're shopping for, be sure to read our 2024 Apple iPad buyer's guide.
