iPad 7th gen

Hello I’m trying to sell my ipad 7th gen brand new out of box. Apparently someone said the grey bit at the top on the back is a strip when they repair item it’s not been fixed ever but I have noticed that other ones in different shops don’t have this grey at the top. Why does mine and what’s the difference please mine is first picture top is different..

iPad, iPadOS 14

Just to clarify you are talking about the big grey/black bar next to the camera?


That is the cellular antenna, only comes on wifi + cellular models.


It's noting to do with repairs


The screenshot you included is for a wifi model only one so hence no black bar for mobile data.


Hope that answers your question
