I mad3 this purchase to replace an older iPad Pro. The new system is a bit confusing but I figured it all out. A major plus was that since it’s an 11” like my old one, I can still use the same case.

Horrible service

W like the big screen for my games and movies

Have to be a genius to transfer from one iPad to this one.

BruceK . 21 days ago

This is a nice iPad. HOWEVER it takes a genius to get it to transfer apps and icons. I followed the directions and many of my apps and icons needed to be deleted and added again. Many of which wouldn’t function properly when being used. I visited the Verizon store and they couldn’t figure it out either. They ended up saying that there was a glitch in the last update.
