User opinions and reviews

Great tablet, even after 11 years. Still gateway to Apple services. However, you can't install most apps. But 6000mAh sounds surreal for tablet from 2013. Latest iPhone 16 Pro Max has 4685mAh.

My only issue with this iPad is battery, I can't even use it as secondary screen for more than 1 hour.

good to know this, even if the battery is 6000mAh the battery performance is still poor,
