I want to know which generation is newer for IPAD

The 9th Generation iPad, announced yesterday, is the replacement for the preceding 8th Generation iPad.

The higher the “generation” number, the more recent is the device. This is true for most products - including Apple. You can find more information about iPad - and directly compare the different models and generations - here:

Why is that so difficult??

The higher the number; the newer the iPad.

My native language is Dutch........
