The iPad Pro is generally well-received for its near-new condition and performance, with many users praising its value and functionality. However, several verified reviews report issues with missing charging bricks, dead batteries on arrival, and visible wear that contradicts the "like new" description. Battery health varies, with some units showing 91% capacity and 250 cycles, while others arrive completely dead, causing concern.
