Best tablet for the price

Posted: Jul 04, 2017, 12:23 PM

Phone owned for less than a year

I am not going to try and compare this to the $1000 tablets like others have done, this tablet cost me $249. The build is really tight and what you would expect from a tablet made by Apple. its got a large screen compared to its competitors around the price and works seamlessly with my iPhone. I also use Google Photos for my pictures and it works well with that too. I can watch Netflix on it with reasonably good sound quality but in an outdoor setting, you may want to invest in a Bluetooth speaker.

Battery life seems to last me a few days as I only have to charge it every 3 or 4 and I use it everyday.

Face-timing leaves a little to be desired in terms of quality but it still come in pretty good.

The camera is the weakest part of this but again, for the price, that's being unreasonable. Also, stop taking pictures with your tablet. get a decent phone or camera, not a giant bulky 9.7 inch tablet.

Perfect overall tablet for first time iPad users and everyday users alike.

Blurry Camera and Not Working Properly

Posted: May 22, 2017, 1:26 PM

Phone owned for less than a month

This Apple iPad (Flat-out fun) looks like an iPad Air 2 or previous model which has been obsolete and not changed megapixel camera at this time like iPad Air 3, but this Apple iPad does not shown model generation. The camera on this Apple iPad (8 megapixel) is blurry while taking pictures or videos, not as good as iPad Pro (9.7-inch) which has 12 megapixel camera to be clearly... Also this Apple iPad is not working properly due to obsolete, old model (iPad Air 2 or previous), and slowed speed to start after turning it on while Apple logo still appear in the middle of screen so long time (more than 5 minutes)... PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS IPAD DUE TO THIS RECALL!
