Description
Apple iPad (9th generation) A2604 64GB in Space Gray — Wholesale C/D Stock
Aimed at enterprise device fleets, corporate refresh programs, and procurement teams, the Apple iPad (9th generation) is the 2021 entry iPad that GSMArena lists as the iPad 10.2 (2021), announced September 14, 2021 and on sale from September 24, 2021. Its 10.2-inch Retina IPS LCD runs at 1620 x 2160 with about 265 ppi and 500 nits typical brightness, driven by the Apple A13 Bionic (hexa-core, 7 nm+, 4-core Apple GPU) with 3GB of RAM. A 12MP ultrawide front camera with a 122-degree view covers 1080p video calls, an 8MP rear camera with autofocus covers document and asset photos, and Touch ID sits in the home button. Power comes from an 8,557mAh (32.4 Wh) battery charged through the Lightning port. It launched on iPadOS 15 and is upgradable to iPadOS 27 (confirmed on Apple's compatibility list), with no fixed-term update commitment from Apple. The cellular version measures 250.6 x 174.1 x 7.5 mm and weighs 498 g. This lot is the A2604 (Wi-Fi + Cellular model with LTE) in the 64GB configuration, Space Gray, unlocked and graded C/D Stock.
This model fits standard-issue business fleets, field operations, and refresh programs mainly as repair and refurbishment stock. C/D Stock units carry the heaviest cosmetic wear on the scale, so the lot is best suited to buyers who will replace glass, housings or batteries before redeployment, or who need working donor units for screens, cameras and logic boards for existing iPad (9th generation) fleets. Because every unit is fully functional, refurbishers can grade, repair and resell rather than troubleshoot dead hardware. Current iPadOS 27 support means repaired units can return to service on a supported Apple release, though Apple sets no end date for updates.

This lot is listed as unlocked. Confirm compatibility with the intended network, plan, and activation process before deployment. Its LTE band set includes band 28 rather than band 71 (see the FAQ below).
Enterprise Deployment and Management
Repaired units can go straight back into managed programs: iPadOS works with Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager, and Automated Device Enrollment places each tablet under mobile device management during setup, over Wi-Fi or the A2604's cellular connection. Jamf Pro, Microsoft Intune, Omnissa Workspace ONE, Kandji and other mainstream MDM suites can then push apps, network and VPN profiles, restrictions and Single App Mode, and can lock or wipe a unit remotely. Apple Configurator can add secondary-market units to an organization's Apple Business Manager account after repair. Refurbishers should confirm that every unit is released from any previous organization and that Activation Lock is off before resale or enrollment. On-device specifications are listed in the Technical Specifications below.
