Apple Early 2022 iPad Air 5th Gen, 10.9-inch, Wi-Fi, 64GB, Space Gray (Renewed)

I’ve just had this a couple days but from what I can tell so far this was a great purchase. It did not come with the original Apple charger but it did come with a nice long 10ft charging cable which I liked since I tend to need longer charging cables anyway. The exterior of the iPad Air is completely clean and looks like new. I was able to charge and set it up with zero issues. The battery life is great so far! It does not drain quickly. I liked that I was able to get a 4 year protection plan on this too, which is a major reason I went with it, because Apple’s plan only lasts 2 years or you have to pay monthly forever. I think the 4 year plan with Asurion is just right and they also have their own monthly plan if you want to look into even longer coverage. I actually bought this 5th generation Air to replace a 4th generation that quit due to a bad motherboard (First time I’ve ever experienced that with an Apple product and my whole family uses only Apple products that have lasted at least 7 to 10 years.) I had that previous Air 3 years, just a year past Apple coverage which was definitely frustrating but I learned my lesson that I need a longer care plan than just 2 years. I recommend everyone going with as long a protection plan as you can afford, because you are just as likely to encounter any issues if not more so past that 2 year timeframe. My power button on the last device was also starting to get stuck despite using a case and those buttons are not easy to repair on an iPad Air due to their proximity to the motherboard, so definitely do all you can to protect your device. Don't use a casual thin case that just looks cute, use something with enough padding to protect the whole device, especially if you live in a home with kids and pets, things get knocked over despite best practices. If you want your power button to last longer I recommend trying assistive touch too! It limits how much you need to use that power button and the volume buttons, since you can use Assistive Touch with a small button directly on the screen to do things like lock your screen, restart your device, control volume, and take a screenshot. Very cool!

I was fully prepared to be scammed when purchasing this product. I wanted a bigger screen for playing COC. It seemed way too good to be true given the price. Upon receiving the product it did not come in an Apple product box and did not come with the correct charger, but the iPad itself was in pristine condition. I’ve only had it for a couple days, but so far it’s functioned perfectly fine. This is my first iPad ever, and I absolutely love it! I read a couple unsatisfied reviews concerning this particular product, but consider me a satisfied customer.

Great price Great product

Awesome. Good price, and good quality!

Great tablet at a great price, at least for an Apple product. The battery could use some improvements, but otherwise great. The Apple Pencil is a necessity with this iPad; it unlocks so many cool use cases. Animation, drawing, modeling, this little tablet can do it all.

Battery was defective, drained super quickly even if not used. I lost money on a quality screen protector and a case. Do not recommend. They offer replacement with no assurances that the replacement will work better. I do not recommend the lost of money and time.

Great iPad. I'm an Android guy, Mac OS computer user so this is my first foray into iPad OS.Great screen, really fast processor, the fingerprint reader to unlock it and auto-fill passwords works perfectly. User experience is great. M1 processor which means that it runs all of the apps and has the OS app features that the pro models that cost multiples more do and have. You can run Final Cut Pro on it for example, you can't with the Air 4.0 or any of the regular iPads. Unless you somehow feel that you have a specific need for a Pro model, save your money and get this one.This refurb machine had fairly light use, it showed 91 battery charge/ discharge cycles, so what, maybe a year or less of average use before it got traded in? Lots of life left in it and Apple charges a little over $100 to replace the battery when it dies which is a lot cheaper than getting a whole new machine. Visually it was in perfect, like new condition, not a single scratch or mark on it. Seller shipped it very quickly.Unfortunately a brick and mortar chain put them on sale new for the same price I had paid for a refurb so I could not justify keeping it. I returned it and got the new one for the same price. New ones come with 90 day trials of all of the Apple apps (Music, TV+, Arcade etc) and Apple care, refurb machines do not. The seller dragged their feet with the refund, making excuses that spanned weeks, so I had to have Amazon customer service intervene which they did, because they rock.

I don’t usually leave reviews, and I’m not one to trash a product unnecessarily—but when something doesn’t live up to what’s promised, I think it’s fair to speak up.I ordered this iPad sold and shipped directly by Amazon, which gave me confidence that the product would match the description—especially since it was labeled in "excellent" condition, including a flawless screen and at least 80% battery health. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. The device arrived with multiple noticeable scratches on the screen, which was disappointing.To be fair, the frame and body were in great condition, and the battery health was surprisingly at 100%, which I appreciated. However, the screen was a major letdown since that’s what I interact with the most.I didn’t return it because I was about to leave the U.S., and dealing with a return wasn’t worth the hassle—I needed the device. Still, it’s frustrating when a product is advertised to meet a standard and falls short. It makes me question how thorough Amazon’s "Renewed" verification process really is.I’m giving it 3 stars because the iPad itself is working great and I don’t want to be overly negative. But I do want to caution others: if you go the Amazon Renewed route, keep your expectations realistic.Hope this helps someone!
