    Good product. Better than the service when I purchased it. Best Buy employees not very friendly. Second bad experience. Most likely I will avoid this place.

    Normally I would never buy any Apple products. However, I have to admit the iPad is the best out there. And believe me that hurts to say that.

    I use this for my Mavic Air 2 Drone. The black boarder on the screen is too wide. I wish it should be like the ipad Pro with a narrow boarder.

    Apple is always top notch. The reason and only reason for 4 stars is that it does not come with expandable storage. If it had that it would always be 5 stars.

    Works as advertised as all Apple products are part of the same ecosystem. That consistency works for those that just want their toys to work.
