Question: - What to look for when buying and how to check the iPad 4.? Answer: Read the detailed answer under the spoiler.
The answer is how to check the iPad when buying
1) The box should be in the film (if the box is not in the film, then this most likely means that the tablet has already been viewed and it has not come up or returned).
2) The tablet itself should also be in film.
3) The connector for the connection should be a new model - lightning, so the easiest way to distinguish iPad 4 from iPad 3.
4) Check the package bundle: iPad 4 with Retina display, Lightning / USB cable, USB power adapter
(if you buy a "growth", then the "USB power adapter" must necessarily be with an adapter for our electrical outlet), documentation. If you buy a Wi-Fi + Cellular model along with the documentation, there is also a "SIM extraction tool" (clip).
4) Check the serial numbers (the number on the tablet and on the box should match), so the serial number can also be viewed in the tablet settings: "Settings" ->"About this device" ->"Serial number".
5) Check for a possible marriage:
- The case and the display on possible: scratches, chips, and other defects.
- Turn on the tablet and check the display for color uniformity (there should be no color spots, the display should not yellow, blunt, green). Those. colors should be natural. Here isexample(in the photo the left tablet is clearly "green"), or here's anotherexample(in the photo the right tablet is clearly "yellow"). Check for possible broken pixels and dust under the screen.
The easiest thing to check is to open a standard browser (Safari) and go to the page with the corol test:http://tomasina.ru/htc/
There one by one look at different colors and their display on the tablet. It should not be: distortion of colors, dust under the screen and dead pixels.
- Check the display for evenness of the backlight (it should not be that on one side the display is brighter or dimmer than on the other). To look at the display at a large angle; around the perimeter of the display there should be no visible backlight (i.e.such aorsuch a(photo under the spoiler).
- You can also check the buttons so that they work (and there was no backlash), as well as the work of the camera (go to the Camera application and take a few photos or record a video).

Activation.
P.s. It is also important to understand that in order to check all this, you need access to the Internet. Those. Either the store should have free Wi-Fi, or you need to set up an access point on your phone (if possible).
You should also pay attention to the fact that if you buy not "growth" (not a certified product for Russia), then there will be no official guarantee from Apple. Rather, the warranty has nuances, I wrote about it in more detail.
