This week, Apple began selling certified refurbished 2022 iPad Pro and iPad Air models through its online store in additional countries, including France, Germany, Japan, and the UK. Availability in the US and Canada began last month.
The fourth-generation 11-inch iPad Pro with the M2 chip, the sixth-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro with the M2 chip, and the fifth-generation iPad Air with the M1 chip are available in a variety of storage capacities and colors. Refurbished models are selling for around 15% off the original price of these iPads.
Apple first introduced this particular iPad Air model in March 2022, with the iPad Pro models following in October of that year.
Apple says its refurbished iPads include a new battery and outer shell, a new white box, and all manuals and accessories, including a USB-C charging cable and power adapter. Apple says it puts refurbished devices through a “rigorous cleaning and inspection process” and conducts full functionality testing to ensure there are no defective devices.
All refurbished iPads come with Apple's one-year limited warranty and 14-day return policy, and are also covered by AppleCare+.
While there are savings to be had here, these are obviously two-year-old iPad models with fewer years of iPadOS support remaining. Amazon can often offer better deals on new iPads that are brand new in the box.
