What you need to know

Apple’s 9th generation iPad went on sale on 24 September 2021 following its unveiling at the 14 September Apple Event (where Apple also launched the iPhone 13 range, Apple Watch 7, and a new iPad mini.)

The 9th gen iPad maintains the 10.2in size (which is shared with the iPad Air), but compared to the previous generation it gained a True Tone display, a A13 Bionic processor, and twice the storage. And for lucky UK readers this all costs £10 less than the previous generation!

Best refurbished 10.2in iPad deals

The deals you will see above are generally from Apple resellers rather than Apple itself – Apple very rarely drops the prices. Apple does, however, sell reconditioned iPads in its refurbished store. So you can grab a bargain.

The iPads in Apple’s refurbished store may be ex-display stock, or they may have been returned to Apple due to a fault, but they are fully reconditioned now and come with a full year’s warranty. It’s not like buying secondhand.

Check out the US Apple Refurbished Store to see if there are any iPads available right now.

If you are in the UK you may be able to find a 10.2in iPad at Apple’s Refurbished Store. For example, we’ve seen a 128GB gold iPad (8th-gen) for £329 and a 32GB iPad (7th gen) for £209.
