Best refurbished 10.2in iPad deals
The deals you will see above are generally from Apple resellers rather than Apple itself – Apple very rarely drops the prices. Apple does, however, sell reconditioned iPads in its refurbished store. So you can grab a bargain.
The iPads in Apple’s refurbished store may be ex-display stock, or they may have been returned to Apple due to a fault, but they are fully reconditioned now and come with a full year’s warranty. It’s not like buying secondhand.
Check out the US Apple Refurbished Store to see if there are any iPads available right now.
If you are in the UK you may be able to find a 10.2in iPad at Apple’s Refurbished Store. For example, we’ve seen a 128GB gold iPad (8th-gen) for £329 and a 32GB iPad (7th gen) for £209.
