Incredible deal on incredible machine
For those who wonder, this is brand new in the box, 2021 9th generation. It is NOT refurbed or an exchange. It is never opened and shrink wrapped by Apple. (See my photos.) The reason it is so much cheaper than the other 2021 iPads is the 64gb storage. But with iCloud so ridiculously cheap for cloud storage, I just cannot see this 64gb as not getting the job done. I myself was curious about this low price buying me a refurb/exchange, but that is simply not the case here. I do, however, recommend you not go with 32gb. I believe even with an iCloud account, you will be sorry you didn’t go 64gb.
And the ease of setting this up cannot be understated. I simply sat my iPhone 13 Pro Max next to it and all relevant files and Wi-Fi passwords were transferred over with no input from me. It looked to me that it will do that with Android and most laptops also, though I did not test that out. All photos also came over, and the ones I took after that transfer, I simply Air-Dropped them into this iPad. All in all, this is as simple as it gets for transferring files and photos. Apple has this stuff down to a science, believe me.
This screen is incredible. If you are looking at a pre-Retina screen, you will be amazed at this 2021 version. This thing is very fast, the on screen keyboard is fast, accurate and very concise. Dealing with apps is easy, and Apple doesn’t load you down with bloat you’ll never use. It is claimed this has about 12 hours on a charge; what I’ve seen thus far leads me to believe that is accurate.
All in all, I am extremely pleased with this purchase. You can’t always say you got what you paid for. But I can definitely say that with this. This is the entry level 2021 9th generation iPad, and it is exactly what I need. Go and get you one…
