iPad Air refurbished deals

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.
The U.S. refurbished store has a selection that includes:
- Standard iPad (8th and 9th generation)
- iPad Air (4th generation)
- 11-inch iPad Pro (2nd and 3rd generation)
- 12.9-inch iPad Pro (4th and 5th generation)
- iPad mini (5th and 6th generation)
Compared to the original price, you can save as much as $320 on a 12.9-inch iPad Pro.
