iPad Pro 12.9” (5th Generation, M1, 128GB) with Apple Pencil (some screen issues)

I’m selling my beloved iPad Pro 12.9” (5th Generation, M1, 128GB) with Apple Pencil. No cracks or scratches. Unfortunately, it was exposed to water, and I paid good money to send it to a specialty repair facility for a water damage treatment. It works great, but the cellular supposedly doesn’t work and the screen has two issues. 1. There are two spots on the screen that have a blurred or ripple effect. As you can see in the pictures, it is only noticeable against very light backgrounds and does not show up on darker backgrounds. 2. The apple pencil works inconsistently. There will be certain dead zones where the apple pencil does not work. Sometimes it’s the same spot, sometimes it’s not. I’ve been able to work around it for the most part by rotating the iPad. Sometimes pressing down a little more firmly does the trick. It works fine for occasional highlighting or redlining digital documents, but it’s not ideal for a lot of handwritten notes, which is what I need right now. The touchscreen itself without the pencil works perfectly, and FaceID and the higher refresh rate with pro-motion also work as designed. If you don’t plan on using the apple pencil much, this iPad is for you! It also should be included as one of the models that gets Apple Intelligence in the coming months. Lastly, I took it back to the repair shop for a post-evaluation a couple months later, and they confirmed that everything else looks good (battery, ssd, circuitry, etc.). These iPad Pros still go for a lot of money, which is why my asking price is lower given the issues outlined herein.
