The iPad is working perfectly for my needs. It’s a little glitchy on new game apps but that’s because the iPad is an older model, so that was expected. But apart from that the iPad is working good. The only con about the sale was that the charging cable didn’t work. Luckily I had a spare Apple one to use. I would buy again though for sure. The shipping was very quick also.
