A new iPad? Are you crazy?! Here are the 4 reasons to choose a refurbished iPad.

The refurbished market has grown considerably in recent years. It has now become very normal to opt for a refurbished iPhone instead of ordering a new one. But did you know that you can also get iPads and even Macbooks refurbished? An iPad is extremely handy and also nicer to deal with than an iPhone. Sitting on the couch watching a series and then suddenly something comes to mind, or you want to order something quickly. You can do that much better on an iPad. In addition to some practical reasons, there are also general advantages why a refurbished iPad would be a good purchase.

Refurbished is much cheaper
The main advantage is that you can save a lot compared to a new iPad. For example, look at the iPad 2020, you pay € 489 for it, while you already have the iPad 2019 refurbished for € 339. And this saving is only getting bigger and bigger. You already have an iPad 2018 for € 300 if you were to purchase it refurbished. Of course you also have the iPad Air 2 and so on. So there is plenty of choice and also plenty of opportunity to save considerably.

Checking experts for more than 50 points
The price is of course very attractive, but you also have to have a product that is of good quality. Fortunately, the experts take care of that. Refurbished products are checked on more than 50 points. You can think of checking and installing the latest software, but we also look at parts such as the battery, microphone and camera. When defects are found, they are repaired or even completely replaced. The complete check is then performed again to be 100% sure that the product meets the requirements.

Up to 3 years warranty
Now that we know we're okay with the price and quality of the product, we have one more thing we might be concerned about, which is the warranty! This is of course so handy, otherwise it would be no different than a second-hand product. And a refurbished product is anything but. But don't worry, at a webshop like refurbished.nl you get a 3-year warranty on all your purchases. This way you can see that they fully support their products and believe in the power of refurbished. Very remarkable when you consider that Apple only offers a 1 year standard warranty.

Help for a sustainable society
An additional advantage of the refurbished market is that we are also very sustainable at the same time. By choosing refurbished products, you give these Apple products a second life and ensure that valuable raw materials are not used in the production of a new product. This also helps tremendously with our government's objective of making the Netherlands circular by 2050. For a small group of people, this is even the main reason to choose refurbished.
