What Buyers Say
Apple iPad Pro 12.9" M2 Space Gray 2022
68 out of 100 medium confidence 13 reviews
The iPad Pro itself receives praise for its performance, display, and overall value, especially when purchased refurbished at a discount. However, two reviews highlight significant quality issues with the refurbished units, including overheating caused by generic chargers, scratches, incorrect model/color, and incompatible accessories. While the product is highly regarded, the refurbished experience is inconsistent and requires careful inspection.

- Great display
- Good value when refurbished
- Innovative technology
- Fast delivery
Cons
- Overheating with generic charger
- Scratches on refurbished screen
- Wrong model or color received
