Why choose a refurbished iPad 2017?
One tablet, many names. The iPad 2017 is officially called the iPad 5th Generation, but it also gets called iPad 9.7-inch—a reference to its screen size. Some people even call it the 7th Generation because it came after the iPad Air and iPad Air 2. When you buy an iPad 2017 refurbished by Envirofone, you don’t need to worry about that because soon enough, you’ll just know it as “my tablet.”
Our review of the iPad 2017
Size & design
The overall dimensions of the iPad 2017 match the iPad Air in some ways, including the size of the display and overall thickness. So, it’s easy to see why some people thought of it as a direct sequel. The price tag was smaller when it launched, though, and this means you can expect great value when you buy an iPad 2017 second-hand from Envirofone.
Display
Like a brighter screen? Go for the iPad 2017. The 5th generation didn’t have an anti-reflective coating on its display, but it has plenty of brightness (around 25% more than the iPad Air 2). That helps to keep things visible when using your iPad outside, and makes for an engaging experience when using it indoors with the screen brightness turned up to max.
Camera
The iPad 2017 isn’t exactly brimming with camera quality, but it’s enough. There’s a 1.2-megapixel selfie lens on the front and an 8-megapixel camera on the back with face detection and image stabilisation. That front-facing camera might sound small, but it’s enough to support video calls without feeling like you need to spend an hour in hair and makeup. Later models, such as the iPad Pro 2018, added Face ID to unlock the screen by recognising the user—so if you want that option, go for something slightly more recent.
Software
Prefer iOS to other operating systems? iPad 2017 shipped with iOS 10, later upgrading to iOS 11. The software supports Apple Touch ID, allowing you to unlock your tablet by scanning your fingerprint. You can use the same method to approve purchases from iTunes and the App Store, as well as websites that support Touch ID and Apple Pay. Pretty handy!
