What Buyers Say
Apple iPad 9.7" 5th Gen 2017, A9, 2GB, 32GB, Space Gray
70 out of 100 low confidence 9 reviews
The single review is very positive, praising the iPad as user-friendly and loved by an elderly user. However, the Q&A section is mostly factual, with one unanswered question about unlocking and a confirmation that iOS 12 is supported. Overall sentiment is positive but based on very limited data.
Pros
- User-friendly for elderly
- Loved by recipient
Cons
- Unanswered question about unlocking
