Switched from iPad Pro to mini based off of portability and my daily use. iPad mini is perfect for what I need my iPad for

DOA headache

2 months ago

I ordered this iPad mini to replace an older one and as soon as I took it out of the box it powered on that’s about it will not boot completely. Cannot activate it. I called customer service to find out about a replacement and they said they would send me a box with a return label and it’s been a week now and still no box.
