Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great overall tablet, I use this to consume media, play games (COD, Balloons, ECT.) and type up documents. This tablet will last most people at least 5 years if I had to guess, its quite fast and pretty thin but not too thin. This iPad does not use a “laminaited” display meaning there is an “air gap” between the display and digitizer. Most people who know about this complain about it but I believe not having the laminaited display (that you see on higher end tablets I.E. iPad Pro, iPad Air) is a great thing BECAUSE it makes repairing the iPads display much easier/cheaper. One must have accessorie for this Id have to say would be Apples keyboard case. The keyboard and back of the case attaches magnetically to the iPad, its quite secure. The back of the case has a built in kickstand that gives you multiple angles to adjust the angle of the tablet. Overall Im real happy with my purchase and think for most people this would be the best iPad to buy. Its cost effective, its fast and does 95% of what any other iPad does.

Awesome iPad. Fast, doesn’t lag. Good size. Love the Apple pen!

Easy to take with me, nice screen display, and timely response to Apple Pencil. I got this to create art, and it does everything I wanted and more for a reasonable price!

I finally pulled the rigger and brought the iPad A16, I have been enjoying lately with helping look at emails, make lists, organize calendar, reading books/manga and budgeting. The battery last a long time without being charged (2 1/3rd days worth)--unless I play some iPad compatible games on there. What I don't like is that how annoying the display gets when you connect a pencil to it esp in regards to a keyboard, no matter what I do the display still auto dims. Speakers are great for average YouTube videos and lives of other shows ex: The Game Awards of 2025 but straight music is a hit or miss esp if the song has extra bass or drums. If you do not have a case on the iPad it is very slippery and if you put it on a wood/wood like surface it seems like it is scraping and I don't want to scratch it (Sorry for the smudges I just put lotion on my hands, the case is an otterbox defender case and while that does make the iPad a little heavy, at least I know it is protected and won't get scratched)

Love this iPad. It makes working so much more flexible and has no restrictions on my creativity. Image quality is superb and processing time is fast. I’m able to do everything I normally do on my laptop. Great buy!

First iPad I got myself and I can tell it does its work pretty good and the screen size I think it’s the perfect size for an iPad/tablet

Perfect. 256GB and 100% battery health, brand new for sure. Beautiful yellow and not laggy at all

I bought for my daughter ipad A16 chps and she loves it , run really fast

I bought an item for my son’s birthday a bit early, and I have to say, the customer service was absolutely fantastic! They were super helpful and really knowledgeable about the product. I'm giving them a five-star review just for the great customer support! I’ll be sure to update my review once I give it to him and he gets to play with it. Can’t wait to see his reaction!

Beautiful yellow color and very snappy. Also the colors on the screen are vivid and true. More than impressed.

I love my iPad. Best Buy did a great job with the packaging and delivery of it. They even delivered it a day early exact color. I wanted exact size exact everything. Love my iPad.

Amazing iPad! 10/10 for sure. I have the goldish/yellow and I absolutely love the device as well as the color of it.

Best Buy could not deliver iPad to UPS and posted UPS delay for 3 days when I got thru and shipped one overnight (4 days). Eventually shipped another one and had to return. How they treat a best customer!

I recently purchased this iPad and I couldn’t be happier with it. The performance is incredibly smooth, apps open quickly, and multitasking feels effortless. The display is bright and crisp, making it great for streaming, reading, and working. Battery life has been impressive so far—I can use it throughout the day without constantly worrying about charging. It also pairs seamlessly with accessories like the Apple Pencil and keyboard, which makes it a great option for productivity, note-taking, and creative work. Overall, this iPad feels like a solid upgrade and a great value for the price. Whether you’re using it for work, school, or entertainment, it’s reliable, fast, and easy to use. I would definitely recommend it.

I'm a first time buyer, It was suggested by my niece. I've only used a desktop but needed a laptop. I'm glad she told me to buy an ipad. I enjoy everything about it--size, color, performance, screen view, etc. It couldn't be better. Great for seniors. I'm 76 years young.

Very easy to use coming from iphone and great color and storage options.

I was skeptical about purchasing an opened box item but being on a FIXED income, went ahead and was so so pleased with the perfect condition of the iPad. The performance and super simple operation for someone like myself with a list of mild and more severe disabilities, including the initial setup, something that usually gives me so much anxiety, was seamless. The one small problem I ran into was not with the product, but with the online puchase itself, on the Best Buy website.... I was left confused as to whether the payment had gone through or not, and was worried as I could not find an order #, and yet it seemed to me that the notification showed pymt was recvd. I made a call to the local store the next day, Saturday and was assisted by very kind and patient young man, who found my account and the order/item I attempted to place/purchase, and he completed it, gave me his personal promise, which restored my complete trust and sure enough I recvd the iPad and was and continue to be thrilled with the experience and item. Thank you Best Buy!!!

Upgraded to this newer version. Love the bright color, and so far, everything has been working fast and well.

This is a great tablet. I also have an iPad Air M3 and for your basic tablet use it performs just as well. With iOS 26 it is also capable of getting real work done.

I have had my new iPad about a month and have really enjoyed it. The battery last so much longer and processor is fast.
