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.

Ordered an iPad Air 5 (256GB, Blue) in premium condition and I’m genuinely impressed. It arrived quickly, well packaged, and looks brand new, no noticeable marks at all. Everything works perfectly so far. Screen, sound, battery, and performance are all great! Setup was smooth and there were no issues like iCloud lock or faults. I was a bit hesitant buying refurbished after a previous bad experience elsewhere, but this has completely changed my mind. Really happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend! Also worth noting I was still eligible to add AppleCare+, which was a nice bonus and gave extra peace of mind.

It was incredibly easy to set up and it arrived earlier than expected!!! I have zero idea why you would ever purchase a full price device when the exact same quality devices can be purchased here for almost half the price!!

Subject: Refurbished iPad Air – Excellent Performance After a Month I purchased the iPad Air 10.9" (2022) 5th Gen, 64GB Wi Fi in Space Gray in early March, and after nearly a month of daily use, it has exceeded my expectations. The “Excellent ” condition truly lives up to its description — the screen is flawless with no visible marks, and the battery still holds 100% health at this point in time after multiple full charge cycles. The M1 chip delivers consistently fast and smooth performance, even when multitasking with multiple research apps open side by side. Apple Pencil is recommended . Make sure you get the right one (too many cheap fakes on ther market) for both note taking and light sketching, and streaming on the Liquid Retina display looks crisp and vibrant. Wi Fi connectivity has been rock solid throughout long sessions. Overall, it’s an excellent device for on the go productivity. I’d definitely recommend this seller for their accurate product description, secure packaging, and impressively quick delivery, which arrived well within the promised timeframe.

I needed to upgrade my old ipad and chose BackMarket after a bad experience with another company. I opted for a premium grade iPad Air and am absolutely delighted with it. Communication from BackMarket was excellent and the the ipad was delivered promptly and very well packaged. On opening it I saw that the ipad was in an original Apple box and in totally flawless condition with not a single mark or sign of prior use on it. In effect I have a new ipad at a great price. I have been using it for about 3 weeks now and everything is perfect. I cannot recommend BackMarket highly enough and will definitely be using them for my future tech needs.
