Shoppers on the lookout for a discounted iPad in the January sales may want to find the biggest saving. By ditching the likes of Apple and Sky and shopping at lesser-known retailers, it’s possible to find some hidden gems that can save hundreds of pounds.
We’ve found a great budget-friendly deal at Back Market, a retailer which specialises in refurbished tech like tablets and smartphones. It’s currently offering Apple’s 10” iPad (2020) with 32GB of storage as part of its ‘Verified Refurbished’ scheme.
The iPad is available in three conditions: Fair, Good and Excellent, with prices ranging from £133.08 to £162.55. Opting for the ‘Excellent’ iPad is more than half price compared to the usual £329 asking price for a new model. READ MORE: Top Tech: Sky Glass drops to 90p per day in surprise January sale deal.
READ MORE: Google's Pixel 9 range is £100 off at one retailer that beats EE and O2. It’s also cheaper than Apple’s own refurbished device at £209. Back Market says the device has been ‘thoroughly’ tested and checked and assures it is ‘100% fully functional’.
The iPad is also said to be ‘squeaky clean’ inside and out and arrives after a factory data reset. Back Market adds that the device is not locked, stolen or fraudulently sourced and comes with a one-year warranty and free 30-day returns. If you’re unfamiliar with Back Market, it’s worth noting that it’s earned a 4.1-star rating on Trustpilot, while the iPad has earned a 4.5-star rating after more than 1,300 reviews. One happy customer said: “Ordered ‘good’ and came practically brand new, no issues with the body whatsoever. Also, it came earlier than the expected delivery date. The iPad itself is brilliant for refurbishment. I was a bit worried at first initially as I’d never ordered refurbished tech before, but it definitely exceeded expectations. All for good money, too.”.
