Product ReviewsApple iPad 3rd Gen. 32GB, Wi-Fi, 9.7in - Black

Goodbye Android

I have always been a PC type due to Apple's high prices,proprietary software and company philosophy. After 25 years of cleaning viruses, slow loading frequent crashing, I have surrendered to Apple and wish I had long ago. This iPad is fantastic! Loads fast, beautiful high def. screen and allows me to enjoy my Kindle books as well. If I were to have one complaint, it would be battery life. I will last about 6 hrs on average. Overall I am very happy and would buy it again without a doubt! ToRead full review...

Obviously reconditioned

This one clearly had battery/charging issues. Batter drains real fast and charges real slowly. It does not help that the provided charging block puts out too low an amperage. I still have my Apple iPad charger, though, so I at least have the correctly matched one. Even with the correct one, this iPad charges at least 50% slower than my original one I was replacing.

Other than that, it has a very clear picture, near perfect screen, and operates as expected in every other regard...just a pain to charge so often.Read full review...

Purchase of Apple iPad 3rd Generation Wi-Fi

This is my first iPad. It was delivered much earlier than anticipated. It was so easy to set up. The condition is excellent (better than expected) like new. I am extremely happy with the product, the condition and quality of its function. Pricing was excellent! Will definitely recommend to others.Read full review...

Older doesn't mean useless

The ipad 3 isn't the newest kid on the block but that doesn't mean it still isn't a great product. If you are looking for an affordable tablet and don't need the latest greatest I highly suggest the Ipad 3.

It works great and the battery lasts a long time. No flash and a little thicker/heavy compared to the newer ones but not by that much.

I use my smartphones wifi access point to provide internet to it when I am out and about saving the extra costs of having to pay for an extra sim for the newer models.Read full review...

Excellent refurbished i pad. No difference from new

I have purchased i pads for work and personal use since the initial launch. I am now a fan of buying refurbished. This was ready to go when we received it. Aside from the unit being in good aesthetic condition, the most important aspects were present. It has a great battery life and I have as yet to be able to make any distinction between this one and the i pads we purchased new. It loaded my information quickly and has the same speed as the i pad 3 I purchased new. The apps also loaded seamlessly and we have put it to work and have no issues whatsoever. Nice!Read full review...

OVER THE MOON with the ipad !!!!!

The ipad arrived 2 days sooner than expected. It looked brand new, The ipad itself is in great condition, screen and body are without any scratches. The battery last a long time. All the apps my wife had were easy to transfer to the new ipad. This is a great value for a 3rd gen ipad. The colors and picture quality seem better than her other 3rd gen ipad.Read full review...

iPad 3 still a great device

Easy to use, light weight, great screen and color, and great sound. Many many options for practical use- whether business or personal- news, music, and entertainment. Can be personalized to the max and easy for people of any tech level to learn how to use. Battery lasts long and charging and syncing are a breeze.Read full review...

Ya get what cha pay for

I wanted the last iOS on an iPad and this was the most affordable option. At first I thought the battery was going to to have issues as it would lose charge very quickly and get very hot when in use during the first few weeks. It seems that over time, with my regular schedule of recharging and usage, the device seems to be improving, as I learn it's charge rhythms and keep it working. I am assuming this was engraved for someone's elder relative and was never in use anymore. I may check with Apple to see if they can improve the battery, but I'm pretty happy with the device. It is serving all the needs I was hoping it would.Read full review...

Worst iPad ever

I will never but refurbish again. The iPad takes a full day to charge and the battery last 2 hours. The screen blacks out, freezes and when playing again (which I only have one downloaded) it returns to the main screen while playing. I have one puzzle app it's hard to pull the pieces onto the screen very difficult to rotate pieces. I have one downloaded 3 things on it since receiving it. I have never had so many problems with a tablet. Rather go back to Samsung products. And to think I was going to get an iPhone. So disappointed in this product.Read full review...

thanks

First I must say that I am a hardcore, dedicated Apple consumer. I have everything Apple, from iPods, iPhones, MacBooks and now iPads. That being said my reviews are quite biased. However, I can tell you with confidence that you will never find a tablet that exceeds the iPad's beauty and brilliance. It's not just another piece of technology, Apple creates beautiful art with its products. Apple makes sure that everything is exact and absolutely perfect before releasing its products to the public. Now let's get down to the bologna. The New iPad features a 9.7 inch screen, with a boasting 2048 x 1536 retina display. To really put that into perspective, that is a higher quality than an high definition TV. You can really tell the difference when you compare the screens of the iPad 2 and 3. Now the battery actually lasts me a while, I could go 2 days without charging it if I had to, however, the iPad literally takes hours to charge. When I say hours, I mean like 9+ hours to completely charge to 100%. That is the ONLY negative feature. I really like the front and rear camera, whenever I need to check myself out or fix my hair and I'm not near a mirror I can just use the front camera to see myself, or it is really helpful in taking accurate self pictures. Nothing beats Apple's App Store which offers millions of Apps. As you probably already know, whatever you need "there's an app for that!" The iPad is really easy to use too. Whether you're just browsing the web, playing a game or listening to music, everything is very fluid. I have had my iPad for 5 months and have had no problems, and I know that if I ever do I can just take it to the Genius Bar and they will fix it for me or replace it for free.Read full review...
