iPads in Apple’s Refurbished Store may be old display stock, or they may have been returned to Apple due to a defect, but are now fully refurbished and backed by a warranty of a year. It’s not like buying used. In the UK look at this page and the US Refurb Store page is here.

Another place to look is BackMarket US and BackMarket UK, which sell refurbished Macs and other Apple products. Amazon also has a Certified Refurbished Store for Apple products, but we don’t recommend buying products over five years old – most of the products we see on Amazon’s Refurbished Store are unfortunately very old.
There is a large refurbished market for the iPad Air. We recommend taking a look at these refurbished dealers for iPad Air deals:
