iPad 9 vs 8 Major Differences
iPad 9 vs 8 Display
Unlike the iPad 8, Apple has introduced a new feature to the iPad 9 device. This is the True Tone technology. This feature helps to adjust the device’s display to the color temperature of a room. Hence, you should be expecting a much better display experience with this new iPad than you’ve had with previous versions.
Performance
Every year, there’s bound to be an upgrade in the chipset that powers Apple devices. So you should expect a slightly (or sometimes, a lot better) performance from a new Apple device than the previous ones. The iPad is not left out of this arrangement. While the iPad 9 comes with the A13 Bionic chipset, the A12 Bionic was what powered the iPad 8. With this, the iPad 9 comes with a 20% faster performance with the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine. So, compared to the iPad 8, you’d definitely prefer playing games and multitasking easily on the iPad 9. Also, the iPad 9 will come with the iPadOS 15 operating system.
iPad 9 vs 8 Camera
The iPad 8 came with an 8 MP camera on its rear. This has now been upgraded to a 12 MP ultra-wide camera. A couple more features were added to the iPad 9 camera. Some of these include the center stage – which aligns users properly during a video call – and an upgraded image signal processor that improves the quality of photos taken with the iPad.
