    The iPad Air 4 is fantastic! Its sleek design, powerful A14 chip, and stunning Liquid Retina display make it perfect for work and play. USB-C support and Apple Pencil compatibility are huge pluses. Lightweight yet powerful, it handles everything from creative tasks to streaming effortlessly. A great balance of performance and value—highly recommend!

    I did a lot of research before deciding to purchase this iPad. Best buy had the best price point and offered the best option to fit my needs. I am very very happy with my purchase! I've had my iPad for about a year now and haven't run into any issues. The large storage capacity is amazing as I use my iPad for procreate and the designs can take up quite a lot of space.

    Received Wrong Item + No Real Resolution

    Ordered a refurbished iPad (5th gen, 256GB) and received a 64GB instead. Completely changes the value of the product. Needed it for school, waited a week, and ended up with the wrong device. Best Buy couldn’t exchange it because it was refurbished, so I got pushed into a long return process instead. After all that, they just issued a refund instead of fixing their mistake. What made it worse was the inconsistent communication. A supervisor mentioned compensation ($100–$150), but no one followed through. Store and customer service kept passing responsibility back and forth with no clear solution. End result: wasted time, missed use for school, and I had to buy elsewhere due to need. This wasn’t just an inconvenience, it was a preventable mistake that cost me time and forced me to spend money elsewhere. I expected a proper resolution, not a runaround.

    I would definitely pick one of these up if you’re looking for a dependable iPad but arent wanting to spend the money on a newer model. I have the keyboard and pencil with this and it works perfectly! I have it ypdate to 17.0.3 and it has zero issues. 256 GB is plenty of space and i forgot to mention thatvthe blue color looks amazing on these tablets.

    Pretty slow as is a Gen 4th iPad. It looks clean and brand new, this one is refurbished in good shape. I personally don’t love it because the software I want to run doesn’t work since the iPad is too old.

    The Best Buy refurbished is typically really good. It doesn’t come in an Apple box, but most people throw it out anyways. There were no major signs of damage and it runs well. When I had an issue, geek squad helped me out.

    Loving the new to me iPad work and function. Still trying to figure out if it has a bad battery. Turns off and randomly and if charged to 100 and left alone for a few hours goes down to 50.

    I’ve been using this iPad for a few weeks now, and it has completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I turned it on, I was impressed by how fast and responsive it is. Apps open instantly, multitasking is smooth, and everything feels seamless

    I bought it for my father as a gift , he is very happy with the tablet . But I give 3 stars because the tablet doesn’t come in an iPad box, and the charger They send is not an apple brand neither so I will not recommend it if you are purchasing it for a gift, it doesn’t look right.

    Was a little worried about purchasing a refurbished iPad but this thing looks like it was never used. The only difference is the charging cable isn’t stock and the charging brick needed cleaned up.

    The iPad works great, but it came with a scratch (that’s pretty hard to see) and the volume up button is stuck. Otherwise I’ve had no issues with using the iPad.
