I’ve bought loads of refurbished and used tech over the years and I’ve had very few issues with them. Most of the time, the product will look and function as good as new.
You’ll pay, on average, around 40% less for a used and/or refurbished iPad Pro (or any other type of tech, including phones, headphones, and computers). If it is a newer product, as my iPad Pro 11 inch was, and it didn’t come with a charger when new, you likely won’t get one if you buy it used either. You will usually get a charger with it, although this isn’t guaranteed. The device itself is always hermetically sealed inside bubblewrap, though, so as to ensure it doesn’t get damaged in transit. You DO NOT get the official box most of the time it comes in a battered cardboard box. Having bought refurb iPhones and AirPods and MacBooks, I know pretty much what to expect when you buy a used Apple product – or any used tech product, for that matter. So, given that refurbished technology is enjoying a renaissance at the moment, thanks in part to the A) massive rises in inflation, and B) the cost of living crisis, and the fact that Apple is still selling A LOT of iPads, I decided to buy a used iPad Pro 11 inch to see what all the fuss was about. But now I have a business, I can write off a lot of the tech I buy as an expense. And the battery capacity is still in the 90% region.Īs someone that’s never really been a fan of tablets, I’m more than happy to just get by using my phone, the thought of actually “buying” a tablet, either from Apple or Samsung, has never really appealed to me. I ended up passing it on to my mum in 2021, but she’s had literally zero problems with it since. The thing you have to remember about Apple products, either its iPhones, AirPods, Apple Watch or, in the context of this post, its iPads and iPad Pro tablets, is that while they might be expensive, they last a bloody long time.Ĭase in point: the iPhone 11 I bought back in 2019immediately following its release still works just fine.
