This was a replacement for an existing iPad mini I have. It had wear near the plug, but the rest of the iPad was immaculate. It worked perfectly and I had no problem with uploading my old data onto the new iPad. It's been used daily since I bought it. Thanks for my new tech. Another great purchase from Back Market.

Product is very good condition, one tiny surface scratch which will not affect use. Delivery was frustrating, as the despatch was delayed and this impacted my availability to receive the delivery personally.

First time charging is fine, from no battery red colour battery. But when fully charged, bar of battery jumps from 100% to something like lower, not consistent, sometimes 0%, which need to totally recharge again. So there is still problem with the battery display but after a few times use it seems fine not jumping anymore.

Cannot fault that the device itself was in immaculate condition [considering I ordered 'fair'!] and very prompt delivery. I had to return it as the program I needed it for required the latest iOS and unfortunately the device could not update to this. No one at fault.
