Condition guide
How we grade every device that comes in, in plain English.
| Condition | What it means |
|---|---|
| Flawless | No scratches or scuffs anywhere. Screen and body look like new. Fully working, no cracks. |
| Good | Light, minor scratches or scuffs from normal use, none deep. No cracks or dents. Fully working. |
| Fair | Heavier scratches, scuffs, or a small dent, but no cracks in the glass or screen. Fully working. |
| Cracked screen | Cracked or chipped screen or back glass, but it still powers on and the touchscreen works. |
| Broken | Powers on but has a fault, a bad display, or a part not working (camera, buttons, Face ID). |
| Won't power on | Won't turn on or hold a charge. We still buy it for parts. |
At inspection
Common iPad 10.2 (9th Gen.) issues we check at inspection
- Non-laminated display. The display is not laminated, which can result in a slight gap between the glass and the LCD, affecting the premium feel and potentially causing more glare.
- Outdated design and port. The design is largely unchanged from previous generations, featuring thick bezels and a Lightning port instead of the more modern USB-C found on other iPads.
- Apple Pencil 1st Gen only. Only supports the first-generation Apple Pencil, which charges by plugging directly into the Lightning port, an often criticized design choice.
