Apple Refurbished iPads in Australia - Buying Guide 2024

The new iPads look bright, shiny, and tempting, but they may warrant quite a large sum depending on the model you want to get. The latest iPad from Apple, the iPad Air 5 features a robust processing power provided by a 3.2 GHz Apple M1 processor, boasting 8 cores divided into 4 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores. It is accompanied by an 8-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine for enhanced performance. With 8 GB of RAM, this iPad offers seamless multitasking capabilities. It is available in two storage options, either 64 GB or 256 GB of flash storage, providing ample space for your files and applications. The device is equipped with a convenient "Touch ID" authentication sensor integrated into the top button. Additionally, it supports the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen (A2051, MU8F2AM/A, priced at AUD$199), which can be conveniently charged via a magnetic connection on the side of the iPad.

The iPad Pro 6th gen is an eye-watering AUD$1,899. Those are pretty expensive listings for Apple's latest premium tablet devices. If that is too much for you to afford, but you still want to get one, there are other more cost-effective buy iPad pro routes or options for you like the refurbished iPad Mini. In this post, we are going to discuss apple refurbished iPad in Australia, where to get the best iPad deals, how to validate a good refurbished iPad and some of the refurbished product's advantages.

Getting a refurbished one is the way to go if you are on a budget. They are Apple products, which means a premium build; they last longer and are still worth much in the second-hand market. They'll look brand new if you go for a good grade, making more sense to go for a refurbished iPad mini or any other refurbished iPad model instead of a new one if your pockets are shallow.

When considering them, buying from reputable sources is vital to get warranty coverage in case of any defects with the products.

Refurbished Apple iPads Price in 2024 in Australia

They offer great battery life and are available in different colour options like Space Grey, Silver, Gold & Rose Gold.

Best places to get a refurbished iPad in Australia

Good deals on renewed iPads may be hard to find in Australia, especially on trusted sources like Apple itself – yes, they also sell cheap iPads refurbished which look brand new but come in a generic white box. If you come across available deals on these sites, don't hesitate to buy. Make sure you buy from a well known refurbished iPad store in Australia or a reputable retailer online.

  1. Reputable Retailers

You'll find that reputable retailers like Phonebot have a wide variety of models to choose from. Make sure you buy from them as they have a long history of satisfied customers and great reviews.

  1. Apple Refurbished Store

The Apple refurbished store is also a good place to purchase refurbished products like the refurbished iPad Mini, Air and Pro albeit it's at least twice as expensive as buying from a trusted seller like Phonebot. The only problem is that these deals are often unavailable. You may also consider checking on the different country-specific sites or Apple stores for countries closer to Australia or where you can ship them without much import tax or long shipping time. Considering it's Australia, you may not have those options. You can buy a Jb hifi refurbished iPad but you might not get the best deal.

Apple's refurbishment process is exhaustive; as such, all sold through its Refurbished store on its website are guaranteed to be fully operational but you might not get a charger, connector or in original packaging. Apple offers products in various screen sizes and wearable gadgets like the Apple watch backed by Apple care so, we're sure you can find the perfect products that fit your needs.

The refurbished iPad Mini 3 is available at a starting price of $219 AUD, making it a fantastic deal.

The refurbished iPad Mini 6 starts at a price of $599 AUD in Australia and it is a steal at this price, it offers more value than a brand new iPad which cost upwards of $749. If you're on a seriously tight budget and the screen size doesn't bother you, consider buying an iPad mini.

Conclusively, its quite expensive to buy the latest iPad (10th generation standard model) on the Apple Australia store, but you can also find some alluring previous-gen models.

How does a refurbished iPad provide value for money in 2024?

Even though many persons will desire to purchase new iPads, a good number with shallow pockets can only afford to buy a refurbished one. Therefore, don't get rid of it if you think is damaged. Did you know you could sell it and use the money for the upgrade? A preowned iPad can save you a ton of money.

Things to know when buying a refurbished iPad

I don't think you will be okay with the fact that you bought it with your hard-earned money just to get home and realize that it's not working. So before purchasing it, most especially from private sellers, verify the following:

  1. Request purchase receipt

Always ask for a tax invoice with the ipad model and imei/serial number on it

  1. Check for a returns policy

This implies that after purchase, there's a period to return the device if it is not functioning well. This gives you peace of mind.

  1. Check whether the iCloud and user data have been removed

Having another person's account without knowing the password will be a problem. This is because you will get your device locked after several attempts trying to unlock it. Therefore, always make sure the iCloud account and data are removed.

  1. Contact the seller in an open public space

In cases where you are meeting up with the seller in person, have somebody come along with you to back you up in the deal for added safety.

  1. Pay securely and test that it works

If dealing with a private seller, endeavor to pay through a secure medium like Paypal. But before depositing this payment, test it first to be assured that it is working.

  1. Check battery health

Always check battery health beforehand. Goto settings > battery to find out the battery health percentage. If it's anywhere around 90% then you're good to go. Anything under 80% is concerning and you might have to soon fork out a small fortune to get the battery replaced via a third-party vendor.
