As expected
I have an iPhone 14 so the iPad operates pretty much the same. No relearning required.

Q: Does this iPad 9th Gen use Lightning or USB-C for charging and accessories?
A: It uses a Lightning connector, not USB-C. That matters if you already own newer Apple cables or USB-C accessories, because they may need an adapter. The box includes a Lightning to USB-C cable and a 20W USB-C power adapter.
Q: Which Apple Pencil works with the iPad 10.2-inch 9th Gen?
A: This model supports Apple Pencil 1st generation. It does not support Apple Pencil 2nd generation, so there is no magnetic side charging. The 1st generation Pencil pairs and charges through the iPad’s Lightning connection.
Q: Can this iPad 9th Gen connect to Apple keyboard accessories without Bluetooth?
A: Yes, it has a Smart Connector for compatible Apple keyboard accessories, so supported keyboards can connect without Bluetooth pairing or separate charging. That is useful if you want a simpler setup for typing or schoolwork.
Q: Does the iPad 9th Gen still have a 3.5mm headphone jack?
A: Yes, this iPad still includes a 3.5mm headphone jack. That is handy if you use wired headphones for study, video calls or travel, and it avoids needing a Lightning audio adapter that some newer iPad models require.
Q: Is this Apple iPad 10.2-inch the 2021 9th generation model?
A: Yes, the iPad 10.2-inch 9th Gen was introduced in 2021. Buyers comparing newer iPads should note that this model uses the A13 Bionic chip, Touch ID in the Home button, and a Lightning port rather than USB-C.
Q: Is 256GB a better fit than 64GB on the iPad 9th Gen?
A: Yes, 256GB is the better fit if you plan to keep more apps, games, downloaded shows, photos or offline files on the iPad. It gives much more headroom than 64GB, which can fill faster with large apps and media libraries.
