Refurbished iPad Air 1st Gen 16 GB Wi-Fi

This refurbished Apple iPad Air 1st Generation MD785LL/A delivers a 9.7" Retina display with 2048 x 1536 resolution in Space Gray. It runs on the Apple A7 chip with 1 GB memory and 16 GB flash storage. The tablet suits users who want a lightweight iOS device for everyday browsing, media and light productivity.

Thermals and power in normal use

The aluminum unibody measures 9.40" x 6.60" x 0.29" and weighs 1.00 lbs, so heat spreads across a large surface area during typical tasks. A 16 GB SSD and 1 GB memory keep background activity modest, while the lithium-polymer battery powers the Retina IPS panel and 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi without active cooling. Bluetooth 4.0 connects peripherals quietly.

Behaviour under sustained load

The A7 processor and integrated graphics handle extended sessions such as video streaming or document editing within the same passive thermal envelope. Rear 5.0 MP and front 1.2 MP cameras remain available for long calls. Storage stays fixed at 16 GB, so users who need more space or cellular connectivity should consider other options.

Questions about this item

How do I insert the nano-SIM into the MD785LL/A, and which way does the tray face?

Use the SIM-eject tool in the pinhole on the lower-right edge; the tray slides out with the angled corner toward the corner of the iPad, so the nano-SIM sits gold-contacts down and the notch matches the tray cut-out.

Which component will need replacement first on this 1st Gen iPad Air?

The lithium-polymer battery is the part that degrades with charge cycles; after several hundred full cycles it holds less charge and will eventually need service.

What performance limit appears first during extended heavy use?

The A7 chip with 1 GB of memory will hit thermal throttling before the 16 GB flash storage fills, so sustained gaming or video export slows down first.
