Can it run current apps?

Only partly. It tops out at iOS 10, so apps that require iOS 11 or later won't install, and some older apps no longer get updates.

Is it worth buying over a newer iPad?

Only for basic reading, video and browsing at a low cost. A newer iPad runs current apps, is lighter and gets software updates.

How long does the battery last?

Apple rated it at about 10 hours of web browsing or video. On a used unit, expect less as the battery ages.

Does it have a Lightning port?

Yes. It was the first full-size iPad with the Lightning connector, so it uses Lightning cables rather than the older 30-pin dock.

A used unit typically comes with the tablet and a charging cable, and sometimes a power adapter. Check what the seller includes.

Does it support the Apple Pencil?

No. Apple Pencil support arrived with later iPad models, so this one works with a finger or a basic capacitive stylus.

Our take on the Apple iPad 4 MD511CA

The iPad 4 is Apple's fourth-generation full-size tablet, with a 9.7-inch Retina display at 2048 x 1536, an A6X chip, 32 GB of storage and Wi-Fi only. Its 5 MP rear camera and Lightning port were the main steps up from the iPad 3, and Apple rated the battery at about 10 hours of mixed use. It is a solid pick for reading, browsing, video and light apps, but it is a decade-old device: iOS updates stopped at iOS 10, so many current apps no longer install or run well. Buyers wanting modern apps and long software support should look at a newer iPad instead.

What reviewers say

4.3 / 54,900 ratings

Owners rate it well as a dependable older tablet for basic tasks, and the screen and battery life still draw praise. The common complaint is age: the old iOS version and slow chip limit which apps work.
