A slim lightweight piece of kit with a powerful engine embedded in there.The graphics are excellent with colour rendition superb. The "11 inch" screen is much bigger than my old ipad which just tends to make the display even more real in terms of sharpness and colour saturation. Well impressed with the iPad Air and believe it's worth every penny spent. I've only just scraped the surface in terms of usage but I'm expecting to be wowed with iys capability. Would thoroughly recommend the iPad Air as it will have a higher degree of future proofing as well so a good investment. Great for travel and other mobile uses. Recommended.

iPad itself is great. The iPad is fast fluid and has great cameras. I think apple could of had a larger battery installed I would be lucky to get a full day of use. I also think the build quality is terrible. The iPad looks amazing however when using the iPad itself straight out of the case you can hear an almost creeking noise. As if the case hasn’t been fully glued properly. However afte doing some research this is a comment fault with these iPads. This can be easily solved by putting th riparian in a durable case which I’ve done and that’s stopped the creeking. Overall stoked with the iPad its great, great size and makes achieving items very easy. It’s also a great size to type on and also throw in your bag for travel.

It’s obviously an apple product so you are always going to get a premium product. However as I mentioned better cameras possibly a flashlight to, better battery and battery build quality and we would be onto a winner. I also find the iPads not having a calculator very frustrating however you can always install a third party app. I would recommend trying the iPad out in store before purchasing to see wether it’s suited for your needs.

A great all round iPad, better than most will need!

I debated for a long long time, which iPad to buy. I originally wanted the iPad Pro 12.9" for the additional screen area however, after careful consideration, the easier portability of the iPad Pro 11" outweighed the occasional times the larger screen would be truly useful. Then the iPad Air was updated and given the M1 chip which changed everything. Not wanting to use the iPad for taking photos (I use my iPhone for that), I had no need for the second camera on the Pro. The screen of the Air at 10.9" is only marginally smaller than the Pro (I'm sure most people wouldn't even notice!), and the other spec improvements, unless you are an advanced user, are even less noticeable. As such, I decided to save myself a few hundred pounds and go for the Air, just going up a ... MoreI debated for a long long time, which iPad to buy.

As such, I decided to save myself a few hundred pounds and go for the Air, just going up a step for the 256GB storage model. I have no regrets at all and am happy I went with this model... the blue colour is also very desirable and not an option on the Pro so win win! John Lewis provided a 2 year warranty (a year more than buying direct from Apple) so yet another win. I finished my package with a personalised Apple Pencil and a good quality but non-Apple magnetic case. All in all, money well spent on a device that will give me years of reliable service.

Buyers Beware! This is an OLD Model from 2013

The iPad is an amazing device, I’ve owned a couple of them, but be careful with this package. Though not entirely obsolete, this particular model is from 2013, so even if this is considered new in an open box, that box has been open for 9 years.This system will run slower than you might expect. The battery is nine years old and may not function according to original specifications.You will likely run into other problems because it is not able to run current software. Although the older version of the operating system should be stable, you will not receive updates consisting of new features and security fixes. Apps you expect to use might not work since they are constantly updated and current versions might be incompatible with the older operating system.If you ... MoreThe iPad is an amazing device, I’ve owned a couple of them, but be careful with this package.

Do not buy.

This is almost a complete scam. Do not buy this specific listing. I ordered this iPad Air “refurbished” and it was nothing like I was expecting. I should’ve read the bad reviews before purchasing.First of all they put it in an iPad Pro box that it wouldn’t even sit in properly and it was just odd looking. This was supposed to be a gift. It had the cheapest case possible on it with the cheapest charging cord, charging block and stylus possible. I turned on the iPad and was able to log into my apple account but the actual software on the ipad is so out dated that you can’t download any newer version apps onto it without by passing the App Store and using iTunes. It’s not even worth it. Lastly I tried charging the iPad with at least 4 different chargers and it would ... MoreThis is almost a complete scam. Do not buy this specific listing.

I returned this the same day I received it because it wasn’t even worth messing with.I suppose this would be a good buy for someone that wants a cheap iPad for minimal tasks or just for kids.

I like it

I think it’s a great device for a great price. The iPad Air 5th Generation is very powerful and really benefits from Verizon’s amazing 4G LTE coverage.Most of the time I have had 5G nationwide coverage, but it’s often times the similar or worse than the 4G LTE. I assume it’s because it’s new technology and has some quirks. Every once in awhile the 5G nationwide gives me about 100mbps compared to 4G LTE at like 80mbps, but like I said the 5G has quirks like random dips in download and upload speeds. Serious dips under 1mbps. The 4G LTE is more consistent and saves battery so I almost always keep 5G off.I’m sure that if you have 5G UW coverage then it’s worth it to keep it on but I don’t have that here yet.Anyways, the tablet itself is unbeatable in value and ... MoreI think it’s a great device for a great price.

It’s just as powerful as the iPad Pro and it has everything you’ll need. It’s not worth $300-$400 extra for 120hz and AR sensors. There’s also probably going to be an upgrade to the pro this fall so you’ll be current for longer with the iPad Air.The only thing that holds the iPad back is iPad OS. It’s restrictive and missing a lot of features that would benefit it greatly. This is just because of Apple making their iPhones and iPads impossible to fully utilize with software restrictions. It sucks because jailbreaks are rare nowadays with current Apple devices. This shouldn’t be a huge problem if you also have a PC for the things that Apple restricts on iPad.Overall the iPad is great and I recommend it, but don’t expect it to be able to perform like your PC. The sad thing is that it’s powerful enough to run like a PC but it’s restricted by Apple. Regardless it’s great for what it does and you can’t beat it as far as cellular tablets goes.Definitely get the 256GB. It’s perfect.

Older basic iPad, 1 year warranty, fast shipping

This model of iPad is now 10 year sold (as of 2022). Yes, as of 2022 it can run Netflix, Zoom, GoogleMeets, etc. As long as you have Netflix in your past Apple purchases, Netflix will let you download an older version so it can run on your older software.So for me, I needed something for Zoom meets, and checking the web every now and then. A new, basic 2022 iPad is about $360- but this older model will work fine. As long as the screen is fully functional and there are no screen scratches- it will be fine. There is a tiny (less than 1/2 inch) scratch on the back- but in the 10 previous years that I had my old iPad, I never saw the back as it was in a case- as this newer one went into immediately.I like the one year warranty- as I may need it.

You can return the iPad to Walmart within 30 days of receiving the iPad, but the one year warranty is directly with the vendor. The battery is not "new" or reconditioned- so it does drain quickly....if it dies within the year, I will follow-up with a refund or replacement.Not listed in the ad, but it came with an aftermarket charging brick and cable.If you need a basic iPad FAST, get this. It is a good deal for the price. The one year warranty is nice too, but not sure how easy that will be if needed.

Stay far away from this scam!

If I could give this seller no stars I would. Seller shipped iPad in envelope, which would obviously arrive damaged. Screen came cracked so I returned. Seller waited a month to let me know they had an issue, to date I have not be refunded. Seller now refuses to refund because they say it arrived too damaged. Well clearly, you shipped an iPad without any protection in an unpadded envelope. The transaction was sketchy from the unpadded envelope, no box to having the item in their position for a month before they claim to have an issue. Truly Save yourself the trouble.It does not come with the original box as indicated. The iPads themselves are not in good condition, the one they sent had scratches all over the back. Save you money and patience.

Still make the best tablet.....

Having owned an iPad - which is still going strong after 10 years - I thought it was time to upgrade it to a new model.I was really tempted initially to change over to a Samsung S8+ and it was only after comparing in-store the Samsung to the M1 powered iPad Air that I finally decided to stick with Apple.I will be honest and admit it was really close between the two tablets, but as alluded to above, 10 years problem free ownership plus a slight saving on the Apple swung it in the end.Plus pointsSpeed of M1 chipOverall quality feel of the tabletiOS vs android system (still better on tablets)Ability to now access files via c usb connectorMinus pointsNo pen provided - unlike SamsungNo microcard storage ability - unlike SamsungJohn Lewis service as ever ... MoreHaving owned an iPad - which is still going strong after 10 years - I thought it was time to upgrade it to a new model.I was really tempted initially to change over to a Samsung S8+ and it was only after comparing in-store the Samsung to the M1 powered iPad Air that I finally decided to stick with Apple.I will be honest and admit it was really close between the two tablets, but as alluded to above, 10 years problem free ownership plus a slight saving on the Apple swung it in the end.Plus pointsSpeed of M1 chipOverall quality feel of the tabletiOS vs android system (still better on tablets)Ability to now access files via c usb connectorMinus pointsNo pen provided - unlike SamsungNo microcard storage ability - unlike SamsungJohn Lewis service as ever can't be faulted 👍

iPad is fine, accessories aren’t

This was fine! It is a real ipad! 6gb or your 16gb of storage are taken up by the ipad to run so there’s definitely not much storage. It works well, the battery runs out quite fast but it is a 2017 or 2018 iPad Air 2 that’s been refurbished so that isn’t super surprising. It did have some scuff marks that I thought were scratches but turned out to be sticky on the sides, but I cleaned it %26 it’s all good. I loved that it came with the temper glass already on! The ipad accessories are mediocre at best. The charger barely charges, the pen is just a normal stylus not an Apple pen (but for $129 not shocking), the “case” is not functional at best %26 the ear buds it came with are not worth the box they came in. But if you’re getting this for an iPad Air you wanna use as ... MoreThis was fine!
