Customers have good things to say about the picture quality of the refurbished iPad 4, noting its great picture presentation and suitability for watching movies and TV. However, some customers have experienced difficulty downloading newer apps due to the iPad's outdated software and inability to update beyond iOS 10.5. This limits the functionality for some users. The larger screen size is also a positive aspect mentioned by some users.

Everything functionality wise is fine with the tablet we purchased, but as with many refurbished products, battery life and charge time are huge issues. It takes this tablet almost 12 hours to fully charge. Also, as expected, many newer apps don’t work since the software is no longer updated on this model to the current iOS.

Nice size iPad with good quality pictures. I bought for my older parents who have never had a computer of any sort or smart phone. I wanted them to be able to see family stuff on Facebook also send and receive email. It’s an older iPad so it isn’t able to do any newer apps since they require more advanced updates. Only goes to 10 iOS
But it’s perfect for someone who doesn’t do much but look at pictures and make some comments. The only search engine is safari

VERY happy with the refurbished iPad. It was a great price for a device that I could not even tell had been used before. It was new as far as I was concerned, but much MUCH cheaper than new. I did not need the bells and whistles of a brand new one, so this was perfect for me.

Had a small dent on upper corner which was not described. Came with a charger that is not Apple brand so will not charge the iPad. iPad dies quicker then normal. Price was good

Silly I know but my son like most kids is a gamer and a tube fan, so for Christmas we wanted to get him a tablet but we didn't want to pay for the latest and greatest. When we saw the refurbished we did our home work and found out that it would-be able to handle the games he likes. We went on a trip to visit grandparents and it was great.

I bought this for my nephew as a Xmas gift as he already had several tablets. Came in cardboard box with aftermarket charger. Decent for the price and he was happy, so I’m happy

We got this for our 7 year old son - he had the tablet and it just seemed like it wasnt advanced enough for him - since he always wanted to use his fathers very expensive IPAD - so we got this and he LOVES it!

Purchase this iPad 4 but to my surprise it will not update past iOS 10.5 and the iPad need update iOS 12.5 .
Without update 12.5 the system will not allow certain apps to down load.
