    I had this same ipad for many years and it never had an issue. It was accidentally crushed and I wanted the same size and model, so I purchased a refurbished one. It did not come with an Apple charging cable. It came with an off brand charger. It takes multiple hours to fully charge and the battery doesn’t last very long, even when it’s in sleep mode. I’m hoping it’s going to last about 4 hours so I can use outside.

    It was exactly what we wanted and expected. The price was fair and the product does everything it was designed to do in an efficient manner. What more could we ask for? Thank you, Best Buy. Keep up the good work!

    Due to it be a generation behind, the Apple Killswitch seems to be already flipped on this: - Doesn't charge consistently - WiFi is painful slow and throttled - The 'Other' storage bloat only takes up 25gb out of the box, so that's not awful yet
