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.

Device grand. Bit some apps will not work due to ios. I didn't know it couldn't be updated. Also charging cable supplied was faulty and too ages to receive a new one. It works thankfully. But I wish i had bought a newer model. Stuck with this one now.

Delighted with my iPad mini 4 - its quality and performance. My only disappointment was to discover that iOS could not be updated beyond 15.8.4. Some of the apps I wanted to install required iOS 16 or above. But I am finding work-arounds and identifying instances where having the iPad really fills in a gap. Good value for money!

I was a little concerned about buying a reconditioned Ipad, but it is absolutely great. The condition is almost unused,I don't know how they rated it just as "Good". I will certainly be using Back Market in the future.
