Has this iPad been unlocked and set back to factory specs?

Hi Rich, I'm not technical enough to know exactly. but I think the answer is No. I think it would depend on the supplier - mine came from FEHL (no idea what the letters stand for), but I've seen listings on amazon from various suppliers. The way I know that it hasn't been set back to factory soecs is connected with what I wanted this iPad for. I had a 3rd-gen iPad, and I dropped it running across a rough Australian road in the rain, smashing the screen badly (although it still works fine). But it was going to cost a fortune to repair the screen, so I decided to buy a 64 GB 'new' one - and have more memory. BUT my original 3G iPad was compatible with a full-size Logitech keyboard that's terrific to use (and it's not compatible with my 4th-gen iPad - Logitech has models for different versions of the iPad, plus Android, plus Windows 8'tablets). However - although I have three of the Logitech keyboards (mistakenly sent by Amazon, when I wanted the keyboard for the 4g iPad), none of them will work with this 'new' 3G iPad. But I don't know if the problem is just that it came with the version of iOS current at the time of sale - and I can't take that back to an earlier version to see - or whether the problem is that this iPad (clearly reconditioned, not new) has not been set back to factory specs, which I suspect is the case. Also the screen glass is not the same as an original - it's kind of spongy, and not good to do on-screen typing; without the crispness of the original material used for iPad screens, the words end up all running together. I'm very experienced at typing on iPad on-screen keyboards, but I can't type properly on the spongy keyboard of this 'new' 3G iPad. However, the screen resolution is good, and I plan on using the greater memory for loading up a few movies that I'd like to have.

Yes, it is like a new ipad in every way. It has the box instructions and even a warranty.

No. This is the first generation IPad Mini. I believe the 3rd generation mini is the newest.

The description doesn't state a certain carrier or if the SIM card is locked or unlocked. The SIM card basiclally has all the information to connect to a cellular carrier and most big U.S carriers' SIM cards are locked, i.e Verizon or AT&T.; If it is unlocked you can use any carrier. Supposedly, if you buy the IPad Air from Apple and no carrier is stated, it is unlocked. However I bought an IPad Air through Amazon with no stated carrier and it was locked to AT&T; so I had to use AT&T;'s service. Which was no big deal and easy to do and their monthly rate was about the same as my carrier Verizon. Usually the IPad is cheaper if it doesn't have a stated carrier.

What did you upgrade to? The IPAD? I just got my HP Tablet today and was not aware they were discontined. It's really cool but I'm worried about the warrenty and lack of support.

Yes, you can return the iPad to any apple store, they will replace it. But you have to pay $50.00 because it's not a software or hardware issue.Good Luck, FM

Yes. 7 and 7.1 (released a few weeks ago). This is the second iPad mini I purchase. The first one, my daughter has been using for almost 1 year already. No issue found at all.

My guess is refurbished. If it's new when you take it out of the box it will be wrapped in cellephane. Mine was not so I contacted Apple. they said it should be. Therefore, I purschased my ipad 4th generation directly from apple and I have had no problems and i'm extremely satisfied with it. It just cost alittle more.

They've made several versions of this, and given the big discount, it's probably an older model, possibly for the first iPad. if it's not, you can always return it.
