Apple Refurbished IPad

Anyone with real world user experience with Apple refurbished iPads? Trying to save a few bucks but wondering if it is a fools folly?

Thanks

iPad Pro, 11-inch, 4th Gen, Wi-Fi

I’ve purchased quite a few items from Apple’s refurbished store over the years.


Certified Refurbished Products - Apple


Note that the link above is the only real source for devices refurbished by Apple.

I’ve never had an issue with any of them. They come with a full 1 year warranty and are eligible for Apple Care just like brand new products.

Refurbished devices purchased from Apple will have been through Apple’s own renewal process - and will be supplied with a new battery, casing and limited warranty. If instead purchased from elsewhere, you do not have any assurance that the device has been through Apple’s rigorous processes.


A “new” device is supplied with benefit of at least a full year’s warranty - in some regions/countries (such as EU member states) two years or longer.


Only you can decide if the cost-saving is worthwhile, only you can decide.
