Description
Apple iPad (9th generation) A2604 64GB in Space Gray — Wholesale B/C Stock
Suited to enterprise, healthcare, and government device programs, the Apple iPad (9th generation), listed on GSMArena as the iPad 10.2 (2021), was announced on September 14, 2021 and released on September 24, 2021. It combines a 10.2-inch Retina IPS LCD at 1620 x 2160 (~265 ppi, 500 nits typical) with the Apple A13 Bionic, a hexa-core chip built on a 7 nm+ process with a 4-core Apple GPU, and 3GB of RAM. A 12MP ultrawide front camera covers 1080p video calls, and the 8MP autofocus rear camera handles document capture. Touch ID is built into the front-mounted home button, and the 8,557mAh (32.4 Wh) battery charges over Lightning. It shipped with iPadOS 15 and is upgradable to iPadOS 27, which Apple's compatibility list confirms; Apple publishes no fixed-term update commitment. The body measures 250.6 x 174.1 x 7.5 mm and the cellular model weighs 498 g. This lot is the A2604 (Wi-Fi + Cellular model with LTE) in the 64GB configuration, Space Gray, unlocked and graded B/C Stock.
This model fits standard-issue business fleets, field operations, and refresh programs where staff need a full-size tablet that stays connected away from site Wi-Fi. The A2604's LTE radio, nano-SIM tray and eSIM let home-visit clinicians, inspectors, route drivers and mobile sales teams run forms, e-signature, maps and line-of-business apps on the road, with GPS for routing. iPadOS 27 support keeps the lot on a current Apple release for patching. B/C Stock lowers the cost per seat for loaner pools, spares stock and rugged-case deployments in which a protective case covers most of the visible wear, and the 64GB configuration suits cloud-first and single-app roles.

This lot is listed as unlocked. Confirm compatibility with the intended network, plan, and activation process before deployment. The A2604 LTE band list includes band 28 but not band 71, so check coverage where the intended carrier relies on band 71.
Enterprise Deployment and Management
iPadOS supports Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager with Automated Device Enrollment, so units can be assigned to an organization and enrolled in mobile device management during setup over Wi-Fi or a cellular connection. Supervised iPads can be managed through mainstream MDM suites such as Jamf Pro, Microsoft Intune, Omnissa Workspace ONE and Kandji, covering app distribution, Wi-Fi and VPN profiles, restrictions, Single App Mode for kiosk use, and remote lock or wipe. Before enrollment, confirm that each unit is released from any previous organization and that Activation Lock is turned off. On-device specifications are listed in the Technical Specifications below.
