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!

I’m still giving this 5 stars because it came in excellent condition. However, I had such high hopes for it to come in the original box and accessories since that’s what a lot of the review comments indicated for the premium purchase. This didn’t happen for me.

I was sceptical about this purchase but still went ahead because I couldn’t pay more for the next generation. Alas, it was delivered and early. I was beyond excited. I can say I got a brand new device. Moving forward, Back Market is my stop for gadgets. Thank you for your great service, I’m definitely recommending to everyone and anyone.

Perfect condition. Product was in an Apple Refurbished box. Came with charging cable. Premium condition was correct. Only 3 cycles on the battery and first use was less than 12 months ago which is great for a 2024 model.

The iPad Air (2024, M2 series) brings a fresh spin to Apple’s tried-and-tested Air line-up, introduced in May 2024. It features the M2 chip found in high-end laptops, an 11-inch Liquid Retina display, and thoughtful updates like a landscape front camera—finally, Apple! While it sits just under the iPad Pro in the pecking order, the iPad Air (2024, M2 series) is all about solid, real-world performance wrapped in a light, sturdy frame. No Face ID, no fancy mini-LED—just well-judged essentials that matter for most people in 2025.

Key features:

Release Date: May 2024
Display: 11-inch Liquid Retina display (2360×1640 px) with P3 wide colour and True Tone
Processor: Apple M2 chip with 8-core CPU and 10-core GPU
Rear Camera: 12MP wide camera with Smart HDR 4 and 4K video recording
Front Camera: 12MP ultra-wide landscape camera with Centre Stage
Build: Aluminium enclosure, Touch ID integrated in the top button
Operating System: Ships with iPadOS 17.4

Who is this for?

The iPad Air (2024, M2 series) hits the mark for students, remote workers, creators, and just about anyone who needs a powerful, portable tablet. It’s perfect if you’re after most of the iPad Pro features but can live without Face ID or a mini-LED display. For digital note-taking, sketching, editing videos for fun, or just binge-watching the latest shows, this iPad Air is spot-on. The landscape front camera (finally!) is a win for video meetings or catching up with mates, making it more comfortable for calls on a desk or stand.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
M2 chip offers fast multitasking and smooth app switching for most users' needs.	No ProMotion—screen is capped at 60Hz, so animations aren’t quite as slick as on the Pro.
Landscape front camera makes video calls feel more natural, especially for desk setups.	No mini-LED screen—blacks aren’t as deep as on the iPad Pro, but colours and brightness still impress.
Supports Apple Pencil Pro and the latest Magic Keyboard, ideal for creativity and productivity.	No Face ID; you’ll be unlocking with your finger, not your face.

Choosing a refurbished iPad Air (2024, M2 series) keeps excellent tech in circulation for longer and helps the planet breathe a little easier. Every pre-owned device is rigorously tested, so you get performance you can rely on. Learn more about our quality standards.
