Common iPad Air 3rd Generation issues we check at inspection
- Screen scratches or cracks. The 10.5-inch display is susceptible to scratches from keys or drops. Cracks are common in AS-IS listings due to impact.
- Battery health below 80%. As a 2019 device, the original battery is likely degraded, leading to shorter usage times.
- Scuffs and dents on aluminum frame. The aluminum frame can easily pick up dents and scuffs from drops or everyday handling.
- Speaker or microphone issues. Dust accumulation or minor damage can lead to muffled sound or non-functional speakers/microphones.
- Charging port issues. The Lightning port can become loose or fail to charge due to debris or wear.
- iCloud Activation Lock. Devices sold AS-IS may be locked to a previous owner's Apple ID, rendering them unusable.
