Frequently asked questions

What does the warranty cover?

Our warranty covers all hardware faults, but please note it doesn’t cover accidental damage or software issues. However, we’re here to help with technical support for those matters!

What is a refurbished device?

A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

Unlike used items, which lack guarantees and rely solely on the seller's word regarding condition, refurbished devices come with assurance of quality and reliability.

What payment options are available?

We offer a variety of payment options to make your shopping experience as convenient as possible! You can pay using all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, Afterpay, Zip Pay, and PayPal. If you prefer, we also accept bank deposits and even cash for in-store purchases!

Description

Apple iPad 9th Gen 10.2" 256GB Space Grey — Wi-Fi + Cellular with A13 Bionic

The iPad 9th Generation pairs Apple's A13 Bionic chip — the same processor used in the iPhone 11 — with a 10.2-inch Retina display with True Tone, generous 256GB storage, a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, and built-in 4G LTE cellular. This is the most capable entry-level iPad with the most local storage in this product line. Every unit is professionally refurbished by Reboot IT (Melbourne, est. 2001) and backed by a full 12-month warranty.

Key Benefits

  • Apple A13 Bionic Chip: Six-core CPU with Neural Engine — flagship iPhone 11 performance for demanding apps, AR experiences, and content creation.
  • 256GB Storage: Massive local storage for offline media, large project files, and a substantial app library — minimal cloud reliance needed.
  • 10.2-inch Retina Display with True Tone: 2160x1620 IPS LCD at 264 ppi — vivid, colour-accurate visuals that adapt to ambient lighting.
  • Wi-Fi + Cellular Connectivity: Built-in 4G LTE with nano-SIM and eSIM support keeps you online for travel, fieldwork, and mobile productivity.
  • 12MP Ultra Wide Front Camera with Center Stage: Auto-pans and zooms to keep you framed during video calls — a major upgrade for remote work and learning.
  • Apple Pencil & Smart Keyboard Support: Compatible with Apple Pencil (1st gen) and Smart Keyboard for note-taking, sketching, and laptop-style productivity.

Performance in Use

The A13 Bionic delivers iPhone 11-class performance in a tablet form factor. Heavy apps like Procreate, LumaFusion, Adobe Fresco, and the full Microsoft Office suite run smoothly. The Neural Engine accelerates Siri, on-device translation, and computational photography in third-party apps. The 3GB RAM keeps multiple apps loaded for fluid context switching.

The standout upgrade in the iPad 9 is the 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage. During FaceTime, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams calls, the camera automatically detects you and re-frames as you move — no need to constantly adjust the iPad's position. For remote workers and students, this single feature is transformative.

256GB of local storage makes this iPad a confident standalone device. Years of photos, an extensive offline music library, multiple downloaded video series for travel, and large creative project files all fit comfortably with room to spare. Combined with cellular connectivity and all-day battery, this is a credible primary computing device for many use cases.
