Apple Intelligence will work for the 9th gen iPad?

From this article:

Introducing Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac - Apple

”Apple Intelligence will be available on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPad and Mac with M1 and later, with Siri and device language set to U.S. English.”

Therefore the answer to your question is “No.”

apple does not really have a history of adding support for previously unsupported devices later on.

No one here knows what plans Apple may have for anything. Apple disclose their plans only when they are ready. Anyone who does know those plans will be prevented by non-disclosure agreements from commenting. Anyone commenting therefore does not know any more than you.

All details we know are available for public review here:

iOS 18 Preview - Apple

Note that Apple DOES place lots of substantive info in the end notes; so DO be sure to review those as well.

My iPad has no apple intelligence but the tips say that apple intelligence is available in IPADOS18.2 but it’s not showing up on my screen

Do you own:

An iPad Pro with at least a M1 Chip, which would be iPad Pro 3rd Gen from 2021 or newer?

iPad Mini 7, released just weeks ago?

If the answer is no, then you don't own an iPad capable of running Apple Intelligence.

If your answer is yes, see this --> How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support

Yeah but apple intelligence is still in beta

For iPad, in addition to other hardware requirements (such as having an M-series or A17 Pro CPU), the device requires at least 8GB RAM. An iPad9 has only 3GB RAM - and is therefore fundamentally incapable of supporting Apple Intelligence.

As for beta releases of iPadOS, public betas are available for all devices that support iOS/iPadOS18. However, installing a beta release on your devices will not expose features or functionality (such as Apple Intelligence) that are not supported by your device or its hardware.

Yes, it's still in beta as Apple hasn't finished releasing all of its features. But that in no way means it will magically somehow work on a device which doesn't have the RAM to support it. Which means if you have an iPad 9, it will never get Apple Intelligence.

Once again, without a required Apple device, you will not get Apple Intelligence features on your device.

So you can only get the iPadOS 18.1 update but not have Apple Intelligence?

And if you own a 9th Gen iPad, you can't have Apple Intelligence at all. Read the thread.

Not on a 9th Generation iPad. Not now. Not in the future. You must own an iPad with a M1 Chip (iPad Air 5, or iPad Pro with M1 (or higher M Chips) and the very newest iPad Mini 7, which was introduced in the last couple weeks. Any device older, simply doesn't have the RAM required to run Apple Intelligence.

Probably not, considering the limit is performance, not recency. The iPad 9th Gen just doesn’t have enough power to run Apple Intelligence, and it won’t get any newer or more powerful.

I have the same iPad with you, and I know that Apple intelligence doesn’t work with this iPad, because it has an A15 chip.

Same here!
