Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the product's exceptional overall performance, speed, and stellar battery life, along with its great screen quality and lightweight portability. They also appreciate its perfect size, sleek design, and subtle color. However, some customers note its lack of a 120Hz refresh rate, phone capability, and facial recognition, and mention that it can get hot easily.

    Very nice iPad. Primarily purchased for travelling although it does get moderate use when at home. Great for messaging, web browsing and email when on the go. Hoping when Apple intelligence ups their game the M3 chip will be a game changer. We'll see...would definitely recommend this iPad.

    I had an iPad Air that was 6 years old with a portal that was defective and would have cost more to repair than purchasing a new one and since I love the color purple, this mid model with 124 GB came in purple as well as having a M3 chip! Fantastic upgrade and price. Thank you Best Buy for the sale and I also purchased a purple Speck case for my purple iPad!

    The M3 chip is as fast as I hoped. The trade in program needs work though. I wasn’t happy with the lack of customer service provided when I tried reaching out to get details about my trade in.

    Upgraded to a larger ipad with more memory. I like it because it does a bit more than the 5th generation.
