Apple iPad 6th Gen 9.7" 32GB Space Grey — Wi-Fi + Cellular with Apple Pencil Support

The iPad 6th Generation pairs Apple's A10 Fusion chip with a 9.7-inch Retina display, built-in 4G LTE cellular, and — a first for the non-Pro iPad line — Apple Pencil (1st generation) compatibility. Whether you need a connected tablet for the field or a sketching surface for design and note-taking, this is a versatile workhorse. Every unit is professionally refurbished by Reboot IT (Melbourne, est. 2001) and backed by a full 12-month warranty.

Key Benefits

• Apple A10 Fusion Chip: Quad-core 2.34GHz with M10 motion coprocessor — significantly faster than the iPad 5, handles modern apps and multitasking with headroom.
• Apple Pencil (1st Gen) Support: The first non-Pro iPad to support Apple Pencil — pressure-sensitive drawing, handwritten notes, document markup, and precise input.
• 9.7-inch Retina Display: 2048x1536 IPS LCD at 264 ppi — crisp text and vivid colour for reading, video, and creative work.
• Wi-Fi + Cellular Connectivity: Built-in 4G LTE with nano-SIM keeps you online beyond Wi-Fi networks — ideal for travel, mobile work, and field use.
• Touch ID Fingerprint Sensor: Fast, secure authentication for device unlock and Apple Pay.
• All-Day Battery: Up to 10 hours Wi-Fi browsing or 9 hours over cellular — comfortably covers a full study or work day.

Performance in Use

The A10 Fusion is a meaningful step up from older iPads. Multitasking between Safari, email, document editing, and video calls feels fluid, and modern apps like Zoom, Microsoft Office, and Adobe mobile tools run without slowdown. The 2GB RAM keeps frequently used apps loaded so context-switching is fast.

Apple Pencil support unlocks the iPad 6 for creative work and education. The Pencil's low latency and pressure sensitivity make it equally suitable for sketching in Procreate, marking up PDFs in GoodNotes, or taking handwritten notes that convert to searchable text. For students, this is one of the most affordable ways into the Apple Pencil ecosystem.

Cellular connectivity is the everyday differentiator. Pop in a Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone nano-SIM and the iPad maintains internet on the train, in the car, on the worksite, or anywhere outside Wi-Fi range — without tethering through a phone or relying on flaky public hotspots.
