The Ipad 4 was first released in 2012 I would seriously consider you get the new basic 9.7" ipad for £340 direct from Apple. That way you're getting a brand new 2017 model that will be future proof in regards to performance and also the standard warranty that you get when buying a new product.

You mean the iPad 4 was not future proof? :rotfl:

The OP current iPad was released in 2011 and 6 years later is giving him issues with performance.

To buy a refurb 2012 model to just save £110 is not worth it in my opinion.

So get a brand new iPad for £340 and hopefully the op will get 6 years out of that iPad and maybe more.

However if you have experience buying tablets that are 5 years old and getting them to perform with the latest Software that it can take for a further 5 years then please share?

The model number is found on the back of the iPad's and according to apples own website the model number for the basic iPad is A1822 so I don't know where your getting that model number from?

Also I'm very surprised that the basic iPad that came out in April this year would be selling for only £230 after refurb. Does not sound right to me?

Update/

If you want the latest basic iPad that I talk about for cheaper elsewhere then please get the seller to confirm that it is the iPad (5th generation) that's the official name given by Apple.
