    STUDENT BEWARE: 6 Mo update review

    STUDENT BUYER BEWARE: Almost 6 month update review Okay, so I’ve had my iPad Air M3 256gb for almost 6 months now, and here’s why I am selling it. I am student currently and use this very heavily, and have had it replaced already once because the first one burnt out on me while i was using notability. Just to disclose, I’ve only ever used the Apple chargers it came with and took the precautions to preserve battery life/health as much as possible but here are some major cons that should NOT be overlooked if you are a student looking to buy this and use it daily like i do. PROS: super pretty, i loved the purple. Holds up pretty well in terms of all normal multi tasking, performance, and overall is really a beautifully presented iPad. Loved that it came with 256gb option, and is super portable especially for school and traveling. This size option made it so nice downsizing from my 4th gen iPad Pro 13inch. This will be perfect for someone who uses their iPad more casually, but not as heavily as someone like me who is pretty much on it all the time unless when I’m not studying. I’m sorry but that is all for the pros. Unfortunately… this is a major con for me that Apple really needs to look into. CONS: I’ve had my iPad replaced already once in the past 6 months from original purchase date. I don’t use my iPad for anything past school work related things and some occasional Netflix shows when I have the time. So between the two iPads I’ve owned I’ve noticed a major flaw in both of them and that’s that the iPad gets extremely warm a lot even when it’s just sitting idly on the Home Screen if let’s say I’m pivoting between my laptop and iPad. Charging? Gets hot. Notability? Hot. At first i thought maybe it was user error and it was me but even as i was charging it up a little to sell it, it was getting hot as i was navigating through settings to turn off Find My and Factory Rest. My battery drains pretty quickly but I won’t necessarily knock Apple for that because it’s unrealistic to expect it to last for days with heavy usage. Bottom line, I’m selling this and already bought the Pro which has not gotten hot, despite how much i use it - and the colors are even more vibrant than the Air. TLDR: iPad gets hot even when sitting idly most of the time being used, iPad has been replaced already and replacement still gets really hot. I only use Apple chargers and take care of my electronics. Buy the Pro instead if you are a student and need this to last you through college.

    I’ve been using this product for a little while now, and overall I’m very satisfied. The battery life lasts longer than I expected, easily making it through a full day of use. Durability feels solid, and the design is well built. The display is clear, bright, and easy to see indoors and outdoors. While there are always small areas for improvement, I think this is a very good buy and would recommend it to others.

    Battery life could be better when playing videos, definitely bring backup power if traveling internationally. But great overall, I regret getting a pro for myself (this one is my kid’s), I should have purchased this one for myself too and saved the extra $$$ spent on the pro for nothing.

    I bought this iPad to replace an old iPad Air 3 with an A12 processor. The difference is staggering! This new iPad zooms through simple stuff like surfing, but it is also just as speedy with more complex tasks. It’s just amazing!

    The iPad Air is a great mix of power and portability. If you don’t need the extreme specs of the iPad Pro, this gives you almost the same performance at a much better price — especially if you already have accessories or can find them cheaper.

    By far the best iPad we have had. We bought the pen pro to go with it and the abilities of what you can do are endless. Writing, music, drawing ,coloring, and gaming. It can all hook together with the IPhone and pen. Making it convenient and if you misplace it you can take all devices.

    Overall experience is good. Have to wait for two weeks to get my IPad. But the first one I got can’t turn it on. Has to return to the store and the order another new one immediately. Got my second one in three days. The trade in experience is also good and got my store credit in 5 minutes.

    I’m a long-time user of iPads. It was time for me to get a new iPad, as my old one was flickering. I wanted a model close to the Pro, so I chose the iPad Air 11” due to my budget. I love this iPad and I don’t feel deprived at all in terms of comparing the iPad Pro to the Air. I’m not missing much. Once out of the box, setting up the Air was simple and quick. Everything I had on my previous iPad transferred to the Air. I really like that I can use Touch ID to open my iPad. On other iPads I’ve had, the feature often didn’t work for me. I haven’t explored the features of iPad OS 18 but I plan to do that soon. I got a decent deal price-wise during an Apple sale and free shipping to me.

    I upgraded to an iPad Air from a 10th generation iPad. It’s much faster, more memory, enter display. It Rocks.

    I purchased this iPad online and picked it up in-store. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the iPad has been able to easily perform any task I throw at it, from video editing and gaming to music production, its handles it all like a breeze.

    My daughter worked to earn this ipad and is in LOVE! Her hard work paid off. She says it's fast, has a ton of storage and is very happy. It was an open box, excellent condition purchase and seemed perfect, as if it wasn't used at all. also purchased an open box apple pen in excellent condition and works perfectly. Would recommend 10/10!

    The purple is so pretty. The air is light and good for travel. The 11 inch is plenty big for me as I only use for travel.

    Great product! I bought it for gaming and the graphics are amazing! 265GB is also an ample amount of storage. Easy to use and transfer all my data from my iCloud account. I definitely recommend the Air if you're not going to do any major work on an iPad.
