Should You Buy A Refurbished iPad?

Macworld UK’s Macworld UK’s Ashleigh Allsopp weighs the pros and cons of buying an iPad from Apple’s Refurbished store rather than a new iPad Air or iPad mini, noting that if you buy a refurbished iPad from Apple, you’ll get the same one-year warranty as a brand new iPad, all of the manuals and accessories that come with a brand new iPad, a brand new battery and outer shell and a new white box for it too. You can also buy AppleCare for your refurbished iPad, extending your warranty to two years.

He thinks it’s definitely worth considering buying a refurbished iPad from Apple’s Refurbished store. It’ll look good as new, so you won’t notice the difference anywhere other than in your bank balance, but if you really want the box that comes with a brand new iPad and you’re willing to pay the extra to get it, then a brand new iPad is a better choice for you.

Personally, while I’m generally a big fan of Apple Certified Refurbished hardware, in the current instance of the iPad — either Air or mini, I think buying new makes more sense this time. The specification advances on the models announced last week more than justify spending an extrqa hundred bucks or so for new as opposed to a refurb.
