Useless, freezes constantly, drops programs, doesn’t respond
This is the worst piece of technology I’ve ever bought and has been so since day 1. It freezes constantly. It shuts down programs constantly, it closes web pages constantly. It shuts down apps constantly. It’s absolutely useless. The screen often won’t respond. I wouldn’t ever buy another.
Purchased in August 2020 for $499.00.

I am not an Apple fan at all, but if you need a fast, responsive tablet that just works and is reliable then good lord you cannot do better than this. IPAD is king, so there you go apple. I have bought one for my wife and one for my son.

Got this iPad awhile ago and it is super fast, easy to use. The screen is quite good. It is fantastic for reading and games. The new OS gives it even more in-depth usability. Recommend.

Perfect Apple Pencil companion - I had the 4th generation previously and wanted to use the pencil for uni notes.
This ipad is amazing. I literally completed my entire masters degree on this thing. I also have the ‘Logitech Ultratech Keyboard Cover i5’ which is what I use to make it like a mini laptop. People are always asking what it is and where I got it from! The speed, clarity, ease of use is amazing.
ALSO the updates which included a ‘files’ system was excatly what this iPad needed - now I can save PDFs, organise other files (like scanned ...
Read morecertified copies, university forms, etc.) and the range of apps available for this iPad means you can do whatever you want. I use the iPad to sign documents, even fill out whole forms using the pencil. It is the perfect size, and I have absolutely adored using it and it is still my go to (am writing this review on it). If you need to read, markup documents (like lecture slides or research papers), sign documents, scan/take pictures, use email, write essays, draw, mark up lectures, study, watch videos - This is what you need. The split screen and smaller screens that can sit on top of the windows make it a breeze to multitask between items. You can even have two web documents open at the same time. I absolutely love this iPad and the rose gold pink is just that little bit extra to make it stylish as well as functional! Love love love!Purchased in April 2018 at JB Hi-Fi for $499.00.

Bought for school and home use, it's very light, convenient, and easy to use. It's one of my favourite tech items and although it's a few years old it still works great.

Very reliable apple product with vivid screen and light and thin product similar to apple ipad air 2. Battery life is not that long being the only weakness. Sound quality is good too.
