Apple 2019 Apple iPad Mini 5 4G (Wi-Fi + Cellular) 64GB S (Open Box)

Maybe I expect too much for a refurbished product. I’d call this reset and tested, not necessarily refurbished. There is no evidence that anything cosmetic got refurbished. Here are my main points of disappointment: 1) Poor packaging, everything was rattling around in the box! The thin bubble wrap on the iPad was useless. See photo. 2) Dings/dents on every corner of the iPad. And another dent on one side. See photos. 3) iPad was not charged, nearly dead battery upon arrival. First thing I had to do was charge it. 4) The charging cube is a low-end no-name 1A USB-A type cube. I expected a USB-C 20w charger like Apple shipped with these units originally. And the cheap cube gets hot when charging the iPad, and also makes the USB-A connector on the no name charging cable hot to the touch. 5) Delivery took 2 days more than quoted. 6) All the above considered, it’s not a great deal price wise. I’ve seen similar condition offers at half the price. It did however have a screen with only one minor abrasion, and it seems to be working after I charged it with my own charger and cable. I am still thinking of returning for a refund, we’ll see how the next 7 days go. I’m suspicious of the battery condition since it arrived not-charged.
