Apple iPad 9.7 (2018) 32GB Wi-Fi - Gold (Renewed)

I don't usually review anything, but this really caught me by suprise! For a very low cost you get a well refurbished device, and despite selecting the lowest grade possible it came absolutley spotless! Not a single scratch or defect on the screen and a single tiny spot on the back, you could almost mistake it for a brand new device it looks so good! It comes in a nice safe carboard sleeve and you do get to experience a nice unboxing. The iPad itself is suprisingly responsive and snappy, despite being 7 years old now it has no issues playing full HD videos or running games (Call of Duty mobile runs suprisingly well). It also has the benefit of working with any stylus pen, even the cheapest ones seem to work just fine and it has not dropped connection either WiFI or BT even once, battery after a whole day is around 70%, it weighs less than 500g without a case so is really mobile and handy in most scenarios. Honestly for under £70 you get a device that will suprise you!

As eBay have decided to cease supporting iOS15 which I have on my iPad Air, I decided a cheap, more modern device was needed.This iPad runs all the apps I need and should last a while, even though it won't run iPadOs18. Although the memory is low at 32Gb this isn't a problem to me as I don't keep lots of apps and files on my devices. The condition was stated as "acceptable", but the screen is pristine and the case is mostly very good.There are a couple of dings at the case end by the speakers, so it looks as though it may have been dropped on its end. No matter, it all works a treat. As a bonus, I find that I have the cellular model, though this wasn't stated.

Excellent value. It looks brand new and works well

Great condition, great price and seller responded well to a minor issue.

Fast delivery. Quick battery charge. Lost one star because of a scratch on the back when condition says excellent Happy with the product. Will buy from the seller again

The media could not be loaded. I'm mostly an android/Windows user but I wanted to try an art tablet and just couldn't afford them so bought this ipad and added procreate to it. I'm currently pregnant and so needed something very portable as well, so I treated myself to this.I wasn't expecting it to be in almost perfect condition. It was clean, sleek and with very minimal screen scratches. I am super fussy about items being in 100% condition but this was absolutely fine and up to the standard I would expect.It works fast, and as a new apple user I'm impressed with the amount of customisation available in the settings.I've been using it for several hours over the last 2 days and it's still got 39% power.The item came with a lightning cable but I haven't needed to charge it yet.I've also treated myself to an apple pencil for 6th gen which works with this ipad, and it pairs instantly and is very sensitive and intuitive.I'm very pleased with this, I'm not quite an apple convert yet but I like it more than I thought I would. Maybe one day I'll have a Mac and a graphic design studio. Apple vs Microsoft? I'll have both please for different things :)

For a refurbished item, this is brilliant. The packaging was slightly unnerving - a black bubble wrap envelope - but I must say, not a scratch on it. Comes tracked with a passcode to give to the delivery driver.Obviously, this is an older model, so set your expectations. I bought mine for the sole purpose of having a ‘work’ iPad unattached to my personal iCloud, so I don’t need something up to date and fantastic just to waste its specs on Microsoft 365 and the Books app.If you need something for a similar purpose, or you want an iPad for younger children - this is it. But do your research. Currently, this iPad supports iOS updates and can therefore run all the fun games your kids might play, but it won’t forever. Anything below this model (6th gen) as of Jan 2024 is defunct and you will have disappointed kids when Minecraft, or whatever the latest craze is, isn’t supported.This is an absolute bargain. Thank you!

Horrible horrible seller, had an absolutely awful experience with this seller. I bought an iPad from them but it wasn’t working, it kept turning off even when my child was charging it, it would literally just switch off. Which meant she couldn’t play games so the iPad was absolutely useless if she couldn’t use it whilst it was charging, it wouldn’t go higher than 1% if she was playing on it, she would have to leave it and not touch it at all or it just wouldn’t charge and even if it was charging like I said it would turn off, we tried different chargers, all official but none made any difference. My child is autistic and this was causing so many meltdowns, I specifically bought this item as it was covered by a “Amazon 1 year guarantee for your money back” if there was any problems within a year. I opened a case after 4 months (so well within a year) to return the item for a refund the seller agreed but when I returned the item the seller said they would only send a replacement! Despite the listing saying this item is covered by a 1 year guarantee for a refund the seller point blank refused to refund me, I did not want a replacement as I’ve actually bought 3 from this seller for all of my children and they’ve all had very poor battery life but this one was the worst so didn’t want to risk getting another. But the seller refused to refund and actually sent the item back to me after I returned it! I had to return it again for a second time out of my own pocket (both times I had to pay £8 for the return) but despite returning it again I had to argue with Amazon for a refund for 2 months. It took me 2 months to get my money back and the seller was extremely difficult the refund was eventually authorised by Amazon (not the seller who was difficult the whole way through and refused point blank to refund me despite what the listing says!)) I’ve now bought my daughter a brand new one as it just isn’t worth any money you will be “saving” buying an iPad that can’t even be used!
