What Buyers Say
Apple iPad Pro 12.9" Silver 2021
70 out of 100 medium confidence 10 reviews
The iPad Pro generally arrives in excellent cosmetic condition, with many users describing it as "like new" or near-perfect. However, a significant number of verified buyers report missing charging bricks, dead batteries on arrival, or lower-than-expected battery health. While performance and value are praised, the inconsistent accessory inclusion and battery issues are notable drawbacks.
