ipad pro 9.7 128gb wifi, space gray



INCLUDED SALE CONTENTS

-- ipad

-- original 12W usb charger

-- original usb-lightning cable, might be slightly withered but fully functional

-- generic magnetic cover case that props up at an angle, almost used exclusively with such, recently replaced with a newer one due to unremovable dirt from general use

-- original box with all documentation



OVERALL IMPRESSIONS

-- very capable device, still modern by today's standards and working well without any drawbacks.

-- small in size, called by many industry professionals, the "mini ipad pro".



ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

-- still supports most recent ios, although it is not in the official supported devices list for the upcoming ios 17.

-- smart keyboard connector has paint chipping, i have only used bluetooth keyboards so i'm not sure if it is still functional. i believe this area of the device puts off a small charge of electricity if touched without charging if your electrical mains circuit chains aren't grounded properly. i have noticed this issue with other apple devices as well especially considering none of their chargers have a third prong for grounding excess current. i have used them in a country that apparently does not believe in grounding when it comes to their entire electrical grid.

-- the apple usb3-lightning camera adapter has unreliable performance under ios 16.5 but 16.6 is available for download.

-- this tablet has never been taken apart or disassembled for maintenance or cleaning.

-- the fingerprint sensor might be non-functioning, has only been used twice and the last time i tried it it threw connectivity errors. the button is functional and has not had any problems other wise, nor has it ever been physically damaged.



OVERVIEW

-- external wear, mostly notable on sharp edges of paint. flawless functionality and capability.

-- first owner. purchased new from apple in 2016, used casually as a secondary and supporting device until 2021, sitting on a shelf since then.

-- replaced by a present-day iphone in 2021, practically the same computer but pocket-sized.



BRUTALLY HONEST CONSIDERATIONS

-- i carried this around since i hadn't had a reliable smartphone at that time and the extra weight was too much to comfortably lug around, even though it is one of the small models, only slightly larger than the ipad mini phablet-sized tablets.

-- very slim and comfortable in size - large enough screen but not too big.

-- not comfortable to hold barebones - the sharp edges around the screen cut into your palms and cause discomfort and skin irritation.

-- impressive performance for a mobile device. most current devices are very capable, but i have actually used this tablet for a lot of work and it has practically paid itself off.

-- tablets of this class are often used in professional media as support devices, for example, controlling and playing back studio lighting/audio/video remotely. there are rarely crashing issues and most of the native software works without ever causing any issues.

-- sometimes the files system (files app) would stall and the problem would not be able to access certain files or folders even after a hard reboot. i have had this issue with other ios devices as well but keep in mind that the files system was only introduced months if not years after this tablet was released. it still works well when it does work but keep in mind that issues could arise if you rely on this. i have used the third-party "documents" app as an alternative file manager, and there are plenty of others out there.

-- one of the most overkill e-readers but the only one that would probably always exceed your expectations.



EXTERNAL / COSMETIC CONDITION

-- there are two thin hairline scratches on the front glass of the screen that are generally not noticeable during normal use aside from looking at a plain white background.

-- there are a few minor short scratches on the display that are generally not noticeable during regular use.

-- there is some wear on the external coating of the display which is not visible while the display is on.

-- there is general chipping of the paint all around the front edge of the chassis. this started becoming a problem quickly after i started using it and the edge continued to chip even while the device was used within a protective case. there is paint chipped from the smart keyboard connector.

-- there are small dings on the exterior corners and on the back of the chassis. insignificant to functionality.

-- there is some darkening of the paint on the back of the chassis from use with the protective case.

-- the glossy apple logo on the back of the device is slightly scratched, which is generally invisible unless it's reflecting a bright light.



INTERNAL CONDITION / COMPONENTS

-- the tablet has never been opened or given for repairs. the tablet does not have any internal moisture or water seeping. it has not been used in exceptionally humid or dusty environments. the speaker and microphone grills and the cameras have never been cleaned with any liquids.



FUNCTIONALITY / INTERFACE

-- lock and volume buttons work normally.

-- the home button works normally.

-- the touch id sensor started to throw a connectivity error when trying to set it up and although it was functional before this issue it had almost never been used. didn't get around to contact support about this before i stopped using it.

-- the device has 4 speakers for stereo sound during use in any orientation. there is minor distortion at some frequencies (as per my impression with all apple devices) and it arose before the device had seen any continuous use. i am not sure if cleaning the speaker grills thoroughly will make any difference.

-- touchscreen (digitizer) works fine on this device.

-- truetone and auto-brightness sensor functionality works as expected.

-- bluetooth and wifi work normally and without issues.

-- both cameras and the flash work normally and do not have any damage or scratches.

-- 3.5mm trrs jack and lightning ports work normally without any issue.



PERFORMANCE / CAPACITY

-- battery holds a normal charge and there has not been any notable decrease in performance.

-- the screen displays correct colors with no general color shift, though i recently noticed some tinting around the edges when i opened a blank safari page, shown overexaggerated with editing in one of the photos - i don't know if this was caused by safari because led screens generally do not exhibit localized color shifting or burn-in as oled screens do. there is a small bright spot in a part of the screen, generally unintrusive. i have heard that it's from dust or space within the thin layers that make up the screen display and can generally be cleaned as shown by Gerald Undone but it is not recommended because these displays are very thin and fragile.



EXPECTANCY / LONGEVITY

-- ipad pros are officially supported (with ios updates) over 5 years, generally around 7 (2016-2022) so it is expected that the device would work normally if used for that long. in theory this means that the battery would last another year before showing a noticeable drop in performance. with good charging habits it could last a while longer - keep within 20-80% charge whenever not in use, avoid excessive heat, overuse and unnecessary stress. i believe the processor is very capable though and as a device it could well last another 5-10 years, unless there's a rapid technological revolution and the internet starts breaking.



ACCESSORIES / ELEMENTS

-- charger shows light scratches but is well functional.

-- cable shows light withering but works normally.

-- cover case is very lightly used.



COMPATIBILITY / CONNECTIVITY

-- very satisfactory compatibility with the apple pencil.

-- good compatibility with official adapters, used with many usb pnp devices through the apple usb-lightning adapter including hard disk drives, ssd drives, card readers, midi keyboards, audio interfaces and so on.

-- works well with bluetooth computer peripherals.

-- please note not all cables with the lightning connector support the full power throughput: lower quality cables can greatly stifle the charging speed, so please use original or trusted manufacturer cables.



NOTES

-- this device has been used without a screen protector.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED!!!

i know what it is to anticipate a shipment, especially of something you're eager to work with and you are hoping will truly improve your experience. i'm sure few people purchase used without giving much thought to the main factor that is a significant discount from the retail price, thus carefully comparing prices and observing quality of the article at hand determining the value-to-price ratio for you. if you feel a whim of doubt you most probably wouldn't be reading this and you already know whether you want to make the purchase but just need that extra reassurance to give you peace. this is why i document the quality of every article very carefully and thoroughly, give you detailed honest information and photos of the condition of the items, the general functionality, method of use and things that i might not like about them, without trying to elusively hide anything and mislead you leaving you with a cold wave of buyer's remorse. ethics are an important factor with small techies. please feel free to ask any questions and i will help you any way i can, even if you just need general information about the items and can't buy it at this point. i want to make you feel compelled to praise the quality of my customer service. don't make this an impulse purchase but something you are sure you will truly enjoy and cherish!



P.S.

please help me make my first sale! as embarrassing as it is i have long paled by the ebay veteran that is my father making thousands of online sales of his art and maintaining a proud 100% rating since the early years of the world wide web!



!!! REDUCE !!! REUSE !!! REPAIR !!!

Please take a moment to consider if it's possible to use your older devices and other belongings just a bit longer and whether you could find them an alternative use or pass them onto someone who might need them. If repair or component replacement is no longer an option, and if they are unusable and no parts of them are salvageable, then consider finding them an alternative use leaving their recycling and disposal as a last resort. Consider eliminating single-use materials and the purchase and disposal of non-biodegradable waste from your daily life. Recycling is not always an option and many materials are not recyclable, especially with modern consumer technology. The continuous mindless production of e-waste and use of greenwashing for PR campaigns by corporate giants will lead to devastating results if we don't act against it. Vote with your wallet. Enjoy what you have and make it more special! Thank you for your interest.
