Is a refurbished iPad worth buying?

Yes. A refurbished iPad on Back Market costs a fraction of the new price: the iPad Pro (M4 series) from £945 versus £2,199 new, and the iPad mini 5 (A12 series) from £138 versus £588.90 new.

Which iPad should I buy: the standard iPad, iPad mini, or iPad Pro?

It depends on how you'll use it. The iPad 7 (A10 series) suits browsing, streaming and note-taking at the lowest price point on this page, from £103. The iPad mini 5 (A12 series), from £138, is a compact option for reading and portability. The iPad Pro (M4 series), from £945, is built for demanding creative work like photo and video editing, with the fastest chip on this page.

Where can I buy a refurbished iPad safely?

Back Market is a dedicated marketplace for professionally refurbished tech. Every iPad listed comes with prices significantly lower than new, a 12-month seller warranty, 30 days to change your mind with free returns, a strict quality charter applied to every seller, an up to 100-point professional inspection, and a minimum 80% battery health guarantee on every device. Rounding out your setup? Black Friday MacBook deals and Black Friday Airpods deals are also live on Back Market.

Is buying a refurbished iPad better for the environment?

Yes. Based on Back Market's calculation from the ADEME 2022 study, a refurbished tablet avoids 88% of the greenhouse gas emissions of an equivalent new device on the manufacturing phase, or roughly 65 kg of CO2e per device. That's because refurbished extends the life of an existing device instead of triggering a new manufacturing cycle, which is where most of a tablet's carbon footprint is created. Every iPad bought refurbished on Back Market keeps a working device in use for longer, before, during and after Black Friday. Also considering other Apple devices? Black Friday Apple Watch deals are worth a look too.

I feel really lucky to have found exactly what I wanted refurbished (iPad air 6th gen and apple pencil pro) on this website - I saved hundreds yet the products both look and function like they're brand new!! It doesn't make sense to buy tech new when you can buy it refurbed in excellent working condition. 10/10 will definitely buy from here again!

I bought this as a replacement for an iPad Pro that my daughter had left on a plane. It arrived in perfect condition, you simply would not know it was a reconditioned device. My daughter loves it and the fact it has 256GB of storage is a huge bonus too.

I was initially a little unsure as this was a new seller with no reviews, but I’m very happy I went ahead. The iPad arrived in excellent, like-new Premium condition and came in an Apple Certified Refurbished box. Everything works perfectly and it also has Apple warranty coverage. Very happy with the purchase and would happily buy from this seller again.

Despite the fact that at first I received a device with battery charging issues (which I was generally prepared for when ordering the tablet in fair condition), within just a week the situation got worse and my iPad became almost unusable. I decided to contact customer support for possible solutions and was amazed at how easy and high‑quality the service turned out to be — all solution options were offered automatically, and I didn’t even have to describe my problem in detail to get the option of a device replacement. Everything was built into the website so seamlessly that in just a few clicks my replacement was arranged without unnecessary questions. The second device arrived quickly, the return instructions for the first one were simple and clear, and I was kept informed at every stage of the process. The replacement went through effortlessly without any extra payment on my part, and the second device works perfectly and looks much better than fair condition. I was absolutely delighted with the service and quality, and I’m very grateful for the chance to get such a good iPad at such a modest price ❤️

I received a faulty second-hand iPad from Back Market, but their customer service was outstanding. I went through the return process on their website, and the steps were incredibly simple and straightforward. A brand-new replacement iPad (the same model) was dispatched and delivered within just three days. Once it arrived, I returned the faulty device without any issues. I am extremely impressed with the speed of delivery, the hassle-free return process, and the excellent compensation provided. This was my first order with Back Market, and it definitely won’t be my last. 5-star service!

I purchased the Blue 10th Generation iPad as Premium with 64GB of storage for £228.99. The iPad came in a legit Apple iPad box, and the iPad itself was wrapped in that sheer paper that new Apple products come in. Completely full battery health, not a single scratch, crack or dent in/on the iPad. Also came with all of the iPads “instructions” and a brand new charger. Couldn’t be happier and would definitely buy again.

I am absolutely blown away by my recent purchase from Back Market. I ordered a 'Premium' quality iPad, and to my surprise, it arrived in its original Apple packaging with all the documents and the official charging cable included. The technical stats are what really shocked me: the battery health is at 100% and the charge cycle count is exactly 0. It is literally a brand-new device for a fraction of the retail cost. The value for money here is unbeatable. After this experience, I’ve decided that every gadget I purchase from now on will be from Back Market. Their quality standards are clearly top-tier. If you're on the fence about buying refurbished, don't be—this is easily the best tech purchase I’ve ever made!
