Apple 2020 iPad Pro (12.9-inch, Wi-Fi, 128GB) - Space Gray (Renewed)

Great for a refurbished product! Only a few tiny little scratches on the screen and a few tiny nicks (near camera lenses on the back and one on the side). Seems to be working just fine. Looking forward to using it!

First and foremost, this is a refurbished ipad reseller. So there will be obvious differences from purchasing one from here vs Apple store itself. And overall, reviews will SOLELY DEPEND ON WHICHEVER UNIT GETS SHIPPED TO YOU (luck of the draw)I purchased one here in Excellent Condition. I just received it yesterday 02/16/2024 and will begin testing it and I will update this review.AS OF 2/16/24 - 5/5 STARSAS OF 2/22/24 - 4.5/5 STARSPHYSICAL/EXTERIOR: For starters, this is very much as described, however; due to this being sold from a third party refurnished seller, my device came with a laser removed engraving on the back. I suppose the previous owner had an engravement on the back and the seller laser removed it and now there's just a rectangular bar imprint - ideally better if the unit had a new shell but a case can easily cover this or a skin decal. But still appreciative the reseller took the time to laser removed the engraving, it would of been odd to have a special message on there from the previous owner; most refurbished resellers don't do this.As for scratches and scuffs, VERY FEW and they are very minimal and can be easily be covered with a screen protector, nothing major. No dent/dinks or cracks.BATTERY/CHARGER: I went ahead and checked for the battery health of device (look up on google how to do so if you're curious - very simple math); my device sits at 95% - which is pretty good for a device this "old". I will see how well this holds a charge - I mainly use this ipad for note taking and procreate for drawing.The charger brick also appears to be the original despite the obvious appearance of wear (quite a lot of scratches) but it still charges. The USB cable is also new but not sure if its original - again still charges.OVERALL: You cant beat it for the price, it a great deal but again purchasing from third party resellers is always a gamble - you never know what you'll get as per previous reviews. I will continue using this and will update as mentioned.UPDATED REVIEW 2/22/24:As promised, I wanted to test the iPad out fully for almost a week before gathering my final thoughts. I tested the device rigorously every day switching best een taking notes, drawing, media consumption and calling.All my opinions stay intact as from what I had previously mentioned above.CHARGER:The reason I have decided to deduct .5 stars is that the cable that is shipped with the iPad to charge the unit seems loose DESPITE the cable appearing “new” and in packaging. I will leave it unattended for a bit only for me to come back and the charge had cut of. I tried using another USB cable and the charging connection was stable. It seems like a very tiny gripe but If you paid for a device this expensive you would expect for everything to work, especially a cable. I would not like to purchase ANOTHER charger because the one that originally shipped doesn’t have good contact with the port and thus - cuts off charge. (-.5 stars for inconvenience).BATTERY:Now considering that the device has a battery health of about 95% and I am using this almost throughout the entire day switching between various apps; the device holds the charge. I find myself charging every 7-8 hours or so. I do follow the 30-80% rule of charging to ensure the life of the battery is extended. But if I didn’t, I would approximate the device would last roughly 8-9 hours (will vary depending on user usage).SPEAKERS:Speakers are phenomenal , don’t know how Apple managed to squeeze in insane speakers. They get VERY loud. And it sounds very crispy.

Value for the money and amazing product

My old iPad had trouble charging, and I wanted to move to a 12.9 Pro. However, the cost new was daunting. I've had success buying refurbished electronics, so I thought I'd try it for this purpose.It arrived yesterday. It was in excellent condition, as promised. No fancy Apple packaging, but that is a plus environmentally. One small issue is that it came with a charging cable and a charging block. The cable worked, but the block didn't.I spoke with an Amazon customer service rep, and I was going to have to return the iPad and everything to get a working brick. Here's the thing: I checked what was supposed to be in the box. I was only supposed to receive the iPad and the charging cable!! The brick was extra. So, I decided not to bother with a return.So far, the unit is beautiful. I'm very happy. I'll try to remember to update the review in a few months. From a conservation and financial perspective, I really recommend buying reconditioned electronics!

I hate writing anything negative anymore in product reviews such as this one. They usually get blown way out proportion, so please bear with me so that I can explain everything I have gone through. First I ordered a keyboard/case for my old iPad Pro, and it practically fell apart the second day I owned it, and then my damn iPad picked that moment to die of old age.After ordering a replacement, one refurbished, and a generation younger—because that’s all I could afford—it never arrived! FedEx continued to put me off daily with either claims that deliveries were attempted (they weren’t) or with a “re-scheduling”. I finally caught on after a week that my package was most likely stolen from the nearest distribution center.Well,I got lucky for once and found a replacement to order. (The one I am reviewing finally, sorry) It was all that I could hope for—AND IT ARRIVED IN ONE DAY! This one is really great accept one very important thing, and I’m sorry I couldn’t give 5 stars. I would assume that in an”excellent” rated refurbishment, the battery would be replaced. A new iPad battery boasts a 10-hour run time when charged %100. From the very beginning I could only get, maybe 3.5 hours on a full charge, and it takes FOREVER to charge. That sounds like a OLD battery to me and that doesn’t seem acceptable in a unit that is supposed to be “excellent”.How or why this happened, no idea, I would like to think something like this wouldn’t “slip by” a vender’s inspection, but the alternative is that an “excellent” refurbishment description means getting an old battery and that doesn’t make sense either. I am left trying to figure out what to do, I’m hoping someone on the other end will help me—I guess we’ll see.
