iPad for Sale in the UAE: 9th, 10th and 11th Generation

The standard iPad is the one most families, students, and first-time tablet buyers choose. It covers streaming, homework, video calls, reading, and drawing without the cost of the Pro range. On this page you will find every iPad generation for sale at Phonebot, from the newest iPad 11th generation back to the older home button models. Each one is tested, graded by condition, and covered by a warranty of up to 12 months with 7-day returns. A used or second hand iPad from a private seller cannot guarantee a working battery, a clear Activation Lock, or an original screen. We check all three before any iPad is listed. We deliver across the UAE, or you can compare generations side by side at our store in BurJuman Centre, Dubai. For a full view of every iPad model Apple makes, including the premium lines, see refurbished iPad.

iPad 11th Generation, iPad 11 Inch or iPad Pro 11: Which Do You Mean?

Apple's naming leads a lot of buyers to search for the wrong iPad, so it is worth checking before you buy. Three different iPads are commonly called "iPad 11":

  • iPad 11th generation: the standard iPad released in 2025, which Apple officially calls the iPad (A16). It is the newest model on this page.
  • iPad Air 11-inch: the mid-range Air model with an 11-inch screen and a more powerful M-series chip.
  • iPad Pro 11-inch: the professional model, released across several generations, with a ProMotion display and Face ID.

If you want the standard iPad, the generation number is what matters: 9th, 10th, or 11th. Every listing on our site states the full model name and generation, so you always know which one you are buying.

Every iPad Generation for Sale, Newest First

iPad 11th Generation (A16)

The newest standard iPad has an 11-inch Liquid Retina display, the A16 chip, USB-C, and Touch ID built into the top button. Apple doubled the starting storage on this generation to 128GB, with 256GB and 512GB options. Its colors are blue, pink, yellow, and silver. It is the fastest standard iPad and will have the longest software support of any generation on this page. One trade-off to know before you buy: it does not support Apple Intelligence. If that matters to you, the iPad Air is the model to consider. A refurbished iPad 11th generation is the best choice for buyers who want a current iPad that will stay supported for years.

iPad 10th Generation

The 10th generation introduced the modern iPad design: a 10.9-inch all-screen display, no home button, Touch ID in the top button, and USB-C charging. It runs the A14 Bionic chip, comes in 64GB and 256GB, and was the first iPad to place the front camera on the long edge. That positioning makes video calls look natural when the iPad is in landscape with a keyboard attached. It comes in blue, pink, yellow, and silver. Buy a refurbished iPad 10th generation if you want the modern design and USB-C at a lower cost than the 11th generation.

iPad 9th Generation

The 9th generation is the last standard iPad with a home button and a headphone jack, and many buyers still prefer it for exactly those reasons. It has a 10.2-inch Retina display, the A13 Bionic chip, Touch ID in the home button, and Lightning charging. It was also the first standard iPad with Center Stage, which keeps you in frame during video calls. Storage comes in 64GB and 256GB, in silver and space gray. It is a popular school iPad because it offers a familiar layout, works with wired headphones, and is one of the lowest-cost iPads still well suited to daily use.

iPad 8th and 7th Generation

These two share the 10.2-inch display, home button design, Smart Connector for a keyboard, and support for the first-generation Apple Pencil. The 8th generation runs the faster A12 Bionic chip, while the 7th uses the A10 Fusion. Both came in 32GB and 128GB. They work well for streaming, reading, and light schoolwork, but they are at or near the end of Apple's major software update support. Buy one for basic use at a low cost, not for years of updates.

iPad 6th and 5th Generation

These older models have 9.7-inch displays, Touch ID home buttons, and 32GB or 128GB of storage. The 6th generation supports the first-generation Apple Pencil, while the 5th does not. Neither receives major iPadOS updates anymore, and some apps will stop supporting them over time. They are best suited to video, e-books, a child's first tablet, or a device kept for a single purpose. They are not the right choice as your main tablet.

Home Button or All Screen: The Biggest Generation Divide

The standard iPad line splits into two designs, and most buyers should choose between them first:

  • 5th to 9th generation: home button with Touch ID, Lightning port, headphone jack, and a 9.7-inch or 10.2-inch display. This design is familiar, simple for children and older users, and works with wired headphones without an adapter.
  • 10th and 11th generation: all-screen design, Touch ID in the top button, USB-C, no headphone jack, and a larger display in a similar-sized body. It looks and feels modern and charges with the same cable as newer phones and laptops.

Apple Pencil and Keyboard Support by Generation

Buying the wrong accessory is one of the most common iPad mistakes, so check your generation first:

  • iPad 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th generation: Apple Pencil (1st generation). The 7th, 8th, and 9th generations also have a Smart Connector for Apple's Smart Keyboard.
  • iPad 10th and 11th generation: Apple Pencil (USB-C), plus the Apple Pencil (1st generation) through a USB-C adapter. Both work with the Magic Keyboard Folio.
  • iPad 5th generation: no Apple Pencil support. Only Bluetooth keyboards work.

If your child's school requires a specific Pencil or keyboard, match it to the generation before you order.

Storage Options by Generation

Storage sizes changed across generations, which is where many searches go wrong. The 5th to 8th generations came in 32GB and 128GB. The 9th and 10th generations came in 64GB and 256GB. The 11th generation starts at 128GB and goes up to 256GB and 512GB. It was never sold with 64GB, so if you are searching for an iPad 11th generation 64GB, the 10th generation 64GB is the closest match. For streaming and schoolwork with iCloud backups, 64GB is enough for most buyers. Choose 128GB or more for large game libraries or offline video.

Looking for an iPad on Sale in Dubai?

Many buyers search for an iPad on sale and wait for a promotion. A refurbished iPad takes the waiting out of it, because the price is lower than new every day, not only during a sale season. That lower price comes with full testing, a condition grade you can see, and a warranty, which a clearance deal on a used iPad does not include. Prices change with stock and generation, so the live listings are always accurate. Set the price filter to your budget and sort from low to high to see every iPad for sale within your range.

When a Different iPad Suits You Better

The standard iPad is the right choice for most people, but not everyone. If you want Apple Intelligence, a laminated display, or an M-series chip for editing and multitasking, a refurbished iPad Air is the next step up. If you want a tablet small enough for one hand, for reading, travel, or note-taking, look at a refurbished iPad Mini. For a ProMotion display, Face ID, and laptop-level performance for design or video work, a refurbished iPad Pro is the professional choice.

Tested and Graded Before It Reaches You

Every iPad is checked for display and touch response, cameras, speakers, microphones, charging port, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Touch ID. We confirm that Activation Lock has been removed and verify cellular models against blacklist databases. Battery health is tested and reflected in the grade. Open Box units are practically new, Like New units show no visible marks, A-Grade units have light wear you would only notice up close, and B-Grade units show visible marks but work perfectly. B-Grade is the lowest-cost way to buy an iPad and a practical choice for a child's tablet. Delivery is free on orders above AED 299 across the UAE.

Which iPad generation should I buy?

For the longest software support, buy the iPad 11th generation. For the modern design and USB-C at a lower cost, buy the 10th generation. For a home button, a headphone jack, and a low cost with good daily performance, the 9th generation is the best balance. Older generations suit basic use only.
