iPad 5th Gen 32 GB cellular
The Apple iPad 5th Generation A1823 comes with 32 GB of built-in storage and 2 GB of memory. It runs iOS and supports Wi-Fi plus unlocked cellular connectivity. The 9.7 inch Retina Display shows 2048 x 1536 resolution at 264 ppi. This configuration suits students and mobile professionals who need a lightweight tablet for web browsing, email and media consumption away from a desk. Buyers who want more storage or a newer operating system should consider other options.
Retina Display and cameras
The 9.7 inch screen delivers over 3.1 million pixels with multi-touch support. A front 1.2 MP FaceTime HD camera handles video calls while the rear 8 MP iSight camera records 1080p video. These components let users join meetings, capture photos and scan documents without extra accessories. The display and camera hardware remain fixed; they cannot be upgraded later.
Aluminium unibody and connectors
The tablet uses an aluminium unibody construction measuring 7.5 mm thin. It includes 802.11 ac Wi-Fi for up to 866 Mbps data rates and a Lightning port for charging and data. A UL approved power adapter and charging cable are supplied in non-original packaging. No headphones, SIM card or manual are included. The sealed design means the battery and storage are not user-replaceable.

Questions about this item
Can the lithium-ion battery in this iPad 5th Gen A1823 be replaced by the user?
The battery is integrated into the aluminum unibody and is not designed for user replacement; Apple or an authorised service provider must perform any battery service.
What limits performance during extended heavy use on this 2GB RAM model?
With only 2GB of memory, multitasking and large apps will hit RAM capacity first, forcing iOS to reload apps or reduce background activity.
How hot does the 9.7-inch Retina display area get when the tablet runs all day?
The slim 7.5 mm aluminium chassis passively spreads warmth, so the rear surface becomes noticeably warm but stays within normal operating temperatures for extended sessions.
