Which iPad model has a headphone jack?

I'm looking to replace my iPad Air 2 that I bought in 2014. Are there any recent iPad models that still have a headphone jack? I never use dongles - that's just my lifestyle and I'm not going to change.

iPad Air 2, iOS 10

I never use adaptors. I buy devices with proper ports. Period.

Only the current iPad9 has a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack. All other models now require use of Bluetooth for wireless headphones, or a suitable adapter to connect wired headphones to either the Lightning or USB-C port of the iPad - as determined by the model.


Be aware that the Apple 3.5mm Adapters are tiny - and can be left permanently connected to your headphone cable.

There are also many third-party headphone adapters that are available, although many may be more bulky. Some incorporate an additional pass-through power connection, permitting simultaneous connection of the iPad Power Adapter for charging.
