Pick up the iPad and suddenly, it's clear. You're actually touching your photos, reading a book, playing the piano. Nothing comes between you and what you love. To make that hands-on experience even better, they made the fundamental elements of iPad better - the display, the camera, the wireless connection. All of which makes the third-generation iPad capable of so much more than you ever imagined. Everything you do with iPad, you do through its large, beautiful display. And when the display is better, the entire iPad experience is better. The Retina display on the iPad features a 2048-by-1536 resolution, 44-percent greater color saturation, and an astounding 3.1-million pixels - in the same 9.7-inch space. That's four times the number of pixels in iPad and a million more than an HDTV. Those pixels are so close together, your eyes can't discern individual ones at a normal viewing distance. When you can't see the pixels, you see the whole picture. Or article. Or game. In ways you never could before.

I had the iPad 2 and then the iPad 3 and then the iPad 4 and now I have the iPad 12.9. I’ve had a lot of iPads. So anyways I found the iPad 3 was pretty good. I actually bought another of that iPad 3 for my mom.. And three years ago when she passed on, I gave it to my sister-in-law. My mom loved her iPad. And there was one game she would always play on that iPad. It’s called Befuddled. She would play that game for hours on end. She’s probably playing it in Heaven right now.. But iPads have come up so much further from the iPad 3. So if you don’t care about upgrading to a newer iPad, then stick with the iPad 3.

My son loves us iPad. He’s had it for years now and it still works so that’ll tell you something of quality. Apps are still supported the only downside is lack of memory and the feeling like we’re getting near its end of life cycle with memory available. He’s been playing Minecraft on this for years so you know we’ll be going apple again for his next tablet to make sure his games carry over.

I spent $2k+ on the 12 iPad assuming it would function similar to an iPhone but significantly better. I needed something between and iPhone and laptop. After buying this device I have slowly started to find it less useful and more inconvenient. This system doesn’t have a built in calculator like the other apple products have. I am also not able to access the What’sAPP app which I am often using for work. Had i know the iPad is incredibly limited I would have gone with a scaled down version for extremely basic and simple uses and gone with purchasing the MacBook. If you are getting the iPad go with your cheapest option because it is less useful that the iPhone. The only perk to this device is the large screen and drawing capability.

The 3rd Generation IPad was my 1st IPad and it lasted forever. I’m fact, I bet if I went and plugged it in, I could still use it. With it being almost 10 years old, that is pretty incredible! The only reason I got a new one was for the updated tech and storage. I don’t know if you can still purchase the 3rd generation, but if so, and you don’t care about all the updates Apple has made, it is recommended due to the longevity of it alone.
I honestly love this ipad. It's got fast processing speed, nice crisp graphics, and can handle all of my online games. I use it for everything from reading books to watching streaming services, from playing games to having Tele health appointments! Highly recommend this ipad!

Especially now in 2021!Forget about this old obsolete device. It is nearly useless,,today, in 2021.If possible, please, PLEASE try to responsibly recycle this old device.
It has everything that's needed, just can't download any thing. Would like to know what apps can be purchased. The capability to enjoy my product more. Love the screen, camera, the sound is awsome, just need videos, movies. Can rate it a 10.
This IPad is exactly like the one my husband had and loved several years ago. It is gorgeous and works perfectly. Has everything you need. I did make a stupid mistake (my husband did tell me to buy a new one.) I did not realize that certain apps need more recent IOS. The seller DID specify that the item only goes up to IOP 9 something and cannot support all apps. At the time I did not know what that meant. I do now. The only reason I bought the IPad is that I wanted my Airbnb app on a bigger mobile screen. Well, I cannot download that app on this IPad. Lesson learned. So now I will need to buy a new one and do something with this one. The next person will get a beautiful IPad.
The device was clean and functioning. However, I did not realize that the IOS installed in this is 10.3 and cannot be upgraded anymore. Newer apps cannot be downloaded. It turns out that this product today is obsolete and worthless. I just wasted $50. Apple is willing to take it and be recycled for free. Cannot be traded in. I did not do due diligence on this. My fault but this should have not been in the market as it is obsolete. .
Although this product is a little dated as everybody knows knows by now, it has good solid construction, good screen resolution-which lends itself to taking very nice videos and pictures. I actually bought this iPad 3 for creating and recording music. With a 30 pin to USB adapter or an iRig Pro it works well. I haven't experienced any latency when using apps like GarageBand and/or MusicStudio. I'm not sure how many tracks I will be able to record before it starts to slow down and get glitchy, but for now it works great for me to get acceptable sound quality music when coupled with the iRig Pro and travel somewhere. I very much appreciate the fact that I have an affordable 'travel workstation.' Other than that, switching from app to app can be a little bit slow, but ... MoreAlthough this product is a little dated as everybody knows knows by now, it has good solid construction, good screen resolution-which lends itself to taking very nice videos and pictures.

Other than that, switching from app to app can be a little bit slow, but otherwise the speed is acceptable considering that it's the third generation of iPads and although it takes quite a while to charge, the battery life is pretty good. Lastly, A WORD ABOUT IRIG PRO: The iRig Pro boasts it's MIDI capabilities with iPads and other Apple devices. Unfortunately, they don't tell you that if you are using the MIDI connection wire, you WILL need a power adapter to power your keyboard. If you are using a USB connection to your iPad, you will absolutely need is 30 pin to USB adapter. You canfind this and apples camera connection kit, however you can truly find one cheaper online. I bought the camera connection kit because I wanted to eliminate any possible glitches.
