Description
Apple iPad (A16) A3355 128GB in Silver — Wholesale B Stock
Built for enterprise, healthcare, and government device programs, the Apple iPad (A16) is the 11th-generation entry iPad, announced in March 2025. It runs the Apple A16 Bionic (4 nm) with a 5-core CPU, a 4-core GPU and 6GB of RAM, behind an 11.0-inch Liquid Retina IPS LCD at 1640 x 2360 (~264 ppi, 500 nits typical). The rear camera is a 12MP wide sensor with PDAF, and the 12MP ultrawide front camera has a 122-degree field of view for video calls. The 28.93 Wh battery supports 45W wired charging over USB Power Delivery according to GSMArena, and the USB-C 2.0 port supports DisplayPort. The tablet launched with iPadOS 18.3.2 and is upgradable to iPadOS 26.2; Apple has no software update commitment published for a fixed number of years. The body measures 248.6 x 179.5 x 7.0 mm and the cellular model weighs 481 g. This lot is the A3355 (Wi-Fi + Cellular model) in the 128GB configuration, Silver, carrier locked with the carrier unconfirmed, and graded B Stock.
This model fits standard-issue business fleets, field operations, and refresh programs that want the current entry iPad with a cellular radio. Clinical carts, field service, retail floor and public sector teams get 5G sub-6 GHz connectivity through eSIM once each unit's lock status is cleared, and the A16 chip gives a longer platform life than older 10.2-inch iPads that many fleets are now retiring. B Stock keeps the cost per seat down for case-protected issue where light to moderate wear is acceptable. As with any lot of unconfirmed carrier association, IMEI checks belong in the intake plan before units go to staff.

This lot is carrier locked with the carrier unconfirmed. Confirm network association and activation eligibility by IMEI before deployment. The A3355 is a Wi-Fi + Cellular version of the iPad (A16); the Wi-Fi-only version is the A3354. The cellular model uses eSIM only, so activation is handled digitally rather than with a physical SIM card, and units still connect over Wi-Fi while the cellular lock is unresolved.
Enterprise Deployment and Management
The iPad (A16) runs current iPadOS and supports Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager with Automated Device Enrollment, letting IT teams assign units to the organization and push them into supervised MDM enrollment during setup. Common suites include Jamf Pro, Microsoft Intune, VMware Workspace ONE and Kandji, covering app deployment, Wi-Fi and VPN profiles, restrictions, single-app kiosk mode and remote lock or wipe. eSIM provisioning can be handled through carrier activation workflows once the lock status is confirmed. Before enrollment, confirm that each unit is released from any previous organization and that Activation Lock is off. On-device specifications are listed in the Technical Specifications below.
