    Complete scam! Do not buy used or refurbished items from Bestbuy. My "refurbished" Ipad froze on initial set-up. They partner with a 3rd party, Jemjem which i was directed to send the unit to. Now i'm out an i pad and my money.

    Purchased 8/18 and it’s dead wont take or hold a charge. Battery was always weak, but now done for good. I bought this as a replacement for an ipad my 4 year old broke. She uses it to olay games and watch videos. The battery dies every 10 minutes even if it’s plugged in during use. It will say 100% battery full and drop down to 13% then turnoff and you cant turn it back on now matter how long you charge it. Save your money

    Not only does this used iPad cut off periodically, I was never told that I couldn’t get a protection plan on it until I tried to (after the iPad was received). I would’ve returned it if my son didn’t wait so long for it to come! So upsetting.

    This iPad will not hold a full charge. Turns off randomly and has the dead battery sign but after charging for a minute or two turn on automatically showing the battery at 23% but dies instantly

    Not worth it now.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The iPad air 2 is not worth the money in 2024, it has only 2 gigabytes of ram, an outdated processer, and no longer recieves the lates iPadOS updates. You’re better off buying a 2019 or newer tablet.

    App Compatibility Issues

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Do not buy for App usage. Only buy if you are purchasing for web browser usage only. Has not been able to update the newest iPadOS for a couple years now. Any apps requiring iPadOS 16 or higher will not be usable. Yesterday, Crunchyroll worked for me, today it says requires update, but the newest version of the app says it requires iOS 16. I've had mine for years, and got the required usage out of it, this is just a warning for others to be wary of buying 10 year old iPads.
