Limited Time Pricing Available on Refurbished iPads

The holidays are right around the corner and there is no doubt that the iPad will be on a lot of Christmas lists this year. Apple is making it more affordable than ever to get your hands on either generation of the iPad. These models are refurbished but I don’t expect that to be much of an issue for consumers thanks to Apple’s high quality assurance standards.

The iPad 2 sales include two models:

  • Black 16Gb Wi-Fi - $419.00 (save $80)
  • White 16Gb Wi-Fi + 3G - $549.00 (save $100)

There are two models of the iPad 1 that also have limited time pricing

  • Black 32Gb Wi-Fi + AT&T 3G - $399 (save $230)
  • Black 64Gb Wi-Fi + AT&T 3G - $499 (save $230)

All refurbished iPads are subjected to full testing including a screen burn-in test. The devices are also put through a cleaning and inspection process before being handed off for a final quality assurance check. Apple has a few extras for these refurbished iPads. They are also including a 1 year warranty, a new battery, a new outer shell, and will be packaged with all the accessories in a new white box. There really is no reason not to take advantage of the great deals on iPads this holiday season.
