This is replacing an ipad Air 2 that is no longer being supported. This A16 is missing the "home" button on the bottom of the screen, which on the ipad Air 2 you can press and it'll show all the open applications. With this new device I have to drag upwards from the bottom of the screen and stop/hold in the center for the menu to show all the open applications. To turn on I have to click the tiny little button on the upper right outside the device (which becomes harder to find once you put a case on this thing). I find this tedious, so I deducted stars for making this A16 device less user friendly than my old one. The one big positive is that Apple is now using USB C port as the power cable instead of the custom power cable plug that Apple forced you to buy.

I love my tablet. I get to do a lot of things on it. I think I want the bigger one but yes I love my tablet. I don't know what else to say but I love it. I'm always on it. I play my games. I go shopping. I'll check my emails. I do a lot of things on here. I really I really like I really love my tablet. Thank you.

It works pretty well. Only issue i have is for some reason “liquid detection” keeps popping up even though it never touched water or has been near water. It doesn't want to charge unless you emergency override charge it. Overall everything works well that was my only issue which I'm not so angry about.

I gave my daughter my old iPad and upgraded to the new one and honestly there's zero difference between the two iPads whatsoever other than hers is the pink one and mine is the blue one now they're the same exact shell and everything so I could have just stuck with the old one but since I gave it to my daughter it was okay that I upgraded to the next generation but they fit the same exact cases because the housing is the same and it seems to me that the iOS is the same as well but all in all I'll give Apple credit they make really good quality tablets and mine have been through the ringer and back and still work perfectly for that I'm happy I never have a cracked screen or lagging software it's always fast and snappy which I've not had the same experience with Samsung unfortunately when it comes to their tablets their phones are good but tablet's not so much so iPads are the way to go and it seems to have a pretty long battery life

Picked this up on sale for an excellent price. The 2025 128GBbase model is a huge upgrade over my older 2018 32GB model. Huge upgrade as far as storage, speed, responsiveness, camera quality etc. Apps open instantly and run super smooth. Spotify took 3 minutes to load on my old iPad so I am very happy! Highly recommended if you're rocking an older iPad.

only complaint i have is partially my fault. looking through the photo gallery of the product implies that a kepboard case and pencil were included. after my daughter opened it and we realized it did not, i went back to the listing and if you look hard enough you can see where the keyboard and pencil are not included. again i share some blame in the misunderstanding but there could definitely be a lot more clarification with the way the photo gallery depicts things

I came from the Android world (I don't own IPHONE), so it took a little getting use to. The OS requires too many hand and swipe gestures to switch between windows. Where on a Android there are 3 vertical bars, once selected, allows you to switch to a different window; Apple should really consider a similar approach. My other big gripe, is storing my own music on the tablet, you can't use the music app unless you bought the music from Apple. I have over 200 albums why do i need to rebuy them. The only app I found was VOX to play my own music, it takes a little getting use to but I finally got to play my music. If i want to stream music I have Amazon and Spotify. I bought this tablet to play music, read email, video stream and browse. When it comes to browsing or streaming it is really fast. If you are a true Apple devotee, you will love this tablet.

If you are like me and does not need to have the best ipad in the world like air or pro. This is the best budget tablet under $500. You get good screen time usage, The kindle app is great I use it on my iphone. The apple play store is also good. Tons of free games and you can get arcade cheap as well. overall a great tablet I highly recommend it.

I've had an iPad for a while now but I've been looking to get one has a gift for somebody and this seemed like the perfect opportunity for it. I know with mine I use it for just about everything. Sometimes sketching things and I'm always making lists and note-taking because I write stories a lot so I have it with me when an idea hits and it's all around so useful. I also read alot and having books on there so I can read any number I have downloaded and saved is really nice. This one wasn't for me but I do have the same one so I know it'll be a great gift when it comes down to it.

Vary nice user experience, great battery life only have to charge once every two days. I does come with a USB type C charging cable with the block to plunge it into the wall. It does take a little bit of time to get used to the swipe up rather than the home button of the older I pads. All in all I am very happy with my purchase.
