Wonderful to have this beautiful iPad mini. I filled it with games for young grandchildren. :-) This was my sixth purchase from Back Market, and everything has been SO nicely packaged, clean-as-new, and welcome in our lives.

I bought this for my granddaughter, she was always using my phone and not taking care of it. So I wanted her to have her own her brother had a phone and she loves her iPad. At first she still wanted my phone but I refused to let her have it because she has an iPad. It is perfect for her she’s only 2 and only watches YouTube jr. I’m happy with the purchase.

The iPad arrived earlier than expected, in great condition. It works beautifully! The battery does seem to run down more quickly than anticipated, but that may be because I am now able to do A LOT more than my previous (old) iPad was capable of supporting!

I found out that Apple will not support the 4th generation IPad. I will not be able to get software updates on the IPad , therefore I will have to return them. I bought them for my 3 year old twin grandsons.
