Wholesale Apple iPad A16 A3355 256GB Silver - Brand New (Unlocked)
Apple's Best Value Tablet for Business, Government, and Education
Offered here brand new and factory sealed, the Apple iPad (A16) gives institutional buyers a uniform hardware baseline for large scale deployment. Original packaging and complete manufacturer accessories accompany every unit, which simplifies asset intake, mobile device management enrollment, and warranty administration. As factory unlocked stock, the devices activate on any supported carrier without restriction.
Choosing new sealed stock over graded inventory pays off at deployment time: identical hardware accepts one golden configuration, battery service life starts at one hundred percent, and warranty windows open at activation. For regulated sectors and public agencies, that predictability shortens acceptance testing and simplifies audit documentation.
Minimum purchase is ten units, and consistent replenishment is available for organizations scaling deployments across quarters. This product is available in 1 of 1 channel: TodaysCloseout.com.
Design and Build Quality
Apple's eleventh generation iPad pairs a recycled aluminum enclosure with flat sides, a Silver finish suited to any professional environment, and Touch ID integrated into the top button for fast, secure staff authentication. The roughly one pound chassis drops into the vast accessory ecosystem built around this form factor: rugged cases, POS stands, medical cart mounts, and the Magic Keyboard Folio. Its front camera sits on the landscape edge, exactly where docked and conferencing use wants it.
Display
The 11 inch Liquid Retina panel delivers 2360 x 1640 resolution at 264 pixels per inch with 500 nit brightness and True Tone color adaptation, ideal for charting, point of sale, digital forms, and content review. Shared device fleets benefit from the fingerprint resistant coating, and split view multitasking uses the canvas efficiently, keeping a reference document and an input form on screen together.
Performance and Productivity
Inside, Apple's A16 chip paired with 6GB of RAM provides responsive performance across conferencing, digital textbooks, POS software, and clinical documentation, about 30 percent faster than the model it replaces. The 256GB storage tier holds substantial offline content for connectivity limited environments. iPadOS 18 ships onboard with a long update horizon, and zero touch enrollment through Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager gets carts and classrooms deployed in hours rather than days.
Camera System
Imaging pairs a 12MP rear wide camera with 4K video, well suited to scanning, claims documentation, and inventory capture, with a 12MP Center Stage ultra wide front camera mounted on the landscape edge. Center Stage automatically pans and zooms to keep speakers framed, which makes docked telehealth sessions, virtual classes, and conference room calls feel professionally produced without any operator attention.
Battery and Charging
Battery life reaches up to 10 hours of web and video use over Wi-Fi and about 9 hours on cellular networks, aligning cleanly with a full shift or school day. USB-C charging means one cable standard across iPads, iPhones, and laptops, simplifying cart and charging locker infrastructure for large deployments.
Connectivity
As the A3355 Wi-Fi + Cellular variant, this iPad connects over sub 6GHz 5G and Gigabit LTE in addition to Wi-Fi 6, so field service, transport, and event deployments stay online anywhere. Provisioning is eSIM only, streamlining bulk activation while eliminating SIM logistics; verify digital provisioning support with your chosen carrier. Integrated GPS and GNSS enable navigation and location stamped documentation, capabilities absent from Wi-Fi only configurations.
