Yes, ipad are a premium device with a premium price tag but
there is something called as a refurbished device and they are not as bad as
you think and here’s why
Apple announced a new larger ipad air and a practically
similar ipad mini 3 which has same internals as the ipad mini 2 sans the finger
print sensor. They have been priced at their regular price points of $499 for
the bigger and better ipad air 2 and $399 for the smaller and efficient ipad
mini 3. The previous gen models stay at a reduced price points, the original
ipad air is at $399 and the ipad mini 2 is at $299, hell even the first gen
ipad mini is at $249 which is pretty low for such a beautiful device
Keeping the price of new devices low forced apple to lower
the price of its refurbished products even low which is sweet news for the
consumer. These are not bad products but i would say they are something which is
close to new devices bit at a lower price point. Apple generally polishes an
old device upto a point that it looks new with a new outer shell, a new battery
and the same one year warranty which is awesome and since the internals which
are upgraded are not drastically different which makes the new gen and last gen
pretty similar in performance and usability, i would go for the refurbished
one.
The price of the refurbished one are like this, ipad air for
$349, ipad mini 2 for $249 and the original ipad mini for $209 but sometimes it
can be had for less than $200
