Does Apple actually discount iPads on Black Friday?

Not really. In Apple's recent US Black Friday events, eligible iPads received Apple Gift Cards rather than direct reductions to the listed price; the iPad Pro offer reached $100 in 2023 and 2024, but current offers and eligible models vary by year. Refurbished iPads on Back Market, by contrast, are listed against a comparable new-equivalent reference price year-round, not only during a single shopping event.

What do the different refurbished iPad grades mean?

All Back Market grades (Fair, Good, Excellent, Premium) guarantee a 100% functional device; the grade mainly reflects cosmetic condition. Premium items also meet additional requirements, including genuine manufacturer parts and a higher battery-capacity standard, and are the only grade eligible for a "like new"* appearance claim (*Premium items only, see our Promise for details).

Which iPad should I buy this Black Friday?

It depends on the use case. The iPad Pro (M5, M4) suits creative professionals and heavy multitasking; the iPad Air (M4, M3) offers the best balance of power and price for students and everyday users; the iPad mini (A17 Pro) is the most portable option for reading, sketching and travel; and the standard iPad (A16 and older A-series) is the most affordable entry point for browsing, streaming and kids. Explore the full Black Friday Apple deals lineup, or compare against a full computer with Black Friday Mac deals to find the best fit for you.

Where can I buy a refurbished iPad safely this Black Friday?

Back Market is a marketplace where independent refurbishers and sellers list refurbished iPads. Every purchase includes a price shown against a comparable new-equivalent reference, an inspection based on up to 100 points under Back Market's Quality Charter, a seller-provided 12-month commercial warranty, and 30 days to change your mind. Rounding out an Apple setup, shoppers can also browse Black Friday AirPods deals.

Is buying a refurbished iPad better for the environment?

Yes. Back Market estimates that choosing a refurbished tablet instead of a new one avoids approximately 83% of the e-waste associated with a new device, or about 400 grams per device, based on Back Market's calculation using data from ADEME's 2022 life-cycle assessment.

una amiga me recomendo esta pagina (ella compro una laptop en buenas condiciones) y solo tenia una ralla en la tapa, pero funcionaba increible. Opte por comprar el ipad en buenas condiciones esperando alguna mancha o rayon o algun defecto y no puedo creer que esta en excelentes condiciones, por mas que mire no veo ningun detalle y no puedo creer que su bateria esta al 100% y funciona increible! Estoy demasiado feliz por mi compra, salve mucho dinero por un producto que esta en perfectas condiciones y que en Apple me salia el triple de lo que pague. Mas encima viene con su cargador!!! Llevo 4 dias sin cargarlo y aun tiene bateria 😭🥹

Satisfied. Works great. Was going to designate it as a workstation unit, but it works to well so I’m keeping it. Item was Listed in Fair condition. I was prepared for a beat up unit to put to work. I could tell the screen was just replaced then sold. Which is a bonus as it works flawless. Bought the magic pad to go with it and put an extra SIM card in it and it’s up and running now as a mini Mac/pad.

This iPad sounds and has way better features then my iPhone 12. A little heads up though it only goes up to 16ios so no updates no new apps or anything you can bypass by signing into your apple store with your iCloud account but it will still be outdated. Either way came in perfect condition great speakers and quality the condition doesn’t give fair it gives brand new. Came in one day after ordering great packaging equipped with charger cable and block. It came fully charged too!!!!Amazing also I swear I’m not a bot 6767676767 noodles no packett

The iPad arrived quickly, within days of ordering it, on the day that was anticipated. It was packed safely and came with the charging cable as described. Although advertised as only "fair," the external appearance was nothing less than excellent. Set up was simple and straightforward, and the table has functioned like and as well as a brand new tablet. I couldn't be happier with my purchase from BackMarket. This is my fifth purchase from BackMarket and I have very pleased with the condition and performance of its products.

I was skeptical about using this website at first, but I’m so glad I purchased an iPad from here. After reading the reviews on the website and doing some research, I went ahead and bought an iPad. I was expecting more damage from a “good” condition product, but surprisingly, I barely have any cosmetic damage to my iPad. In fact, there’s maybe one scratch on the back that’s remotely noticeable. The screen, battery and everything else is great. In the picture I attached, I’m running a game (called “pokemon champions”) that can easily lag and freeze on some devices (according to its reviews) but it runs just fine on my iPad. I hope that helps give you some insight on the quality of the product I got from here!!

I was a little skeptical about what condition the device would actually be in, especially after reading some mixed reviews about the seller. However, I am more than pleasantly surprised. The device is in pristine condition, with absolutely no signs of use, and the battery is at 95% capacity, which is excellent for a four-year-old device. The iPad even arrived with a glass screen protector already installed.

iPad Black Friday deals: shop smarter on Back Market

A refurbished iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad mini or standard iPad on Back Market is listed against a comparable new-equivalent reference price, so shoppers can see the gap on nearly every listing. Back Market is a marketplace where independent sellers list professionally refurbished Apple tablets, spanning the current iPad Pro (M5, M4) and iPad Air (M4, M3) down to older iPad mini and A-series generations. As the Black Friday campaign approaches, selected models may be highlighted with promotional pricing, separate from everyday listings and subject to availability.

What to expect from iPad Black Friday deals

Retail messaging around "Black Friday" often starts weeks early, but the real test sits on the product page itself: the price shown against its new-equivalent reference. Checking that reference, alongside the seller's grade and current stock, before checkout is the simplest way to judge whether a specific iPad Pro, iPad Air or iPad mini listing is genuinely worth grabbing this year. For the wider Apple lineup during the campaign, the Black Friday Apple deals page rounds up iPads alongside MacBook, AirPods and Apple Watch listings.

Shop smart: tips for iPad Black Friday shoppers

Sign up for Back Market's newsletter to hear about flash deals as soon as they land on November 1st.
Pick the generation and storage first, iPad Pro vs iPad Air vs iPad mini vs standard iPad, since Black Friday pricing can vary by configuration, not just by "iPad" as a category.
Compare the refurbished price with a clearly identified new-equivalent reference for the same model, storage and connectivity, not last year's generation.
Check back on a listing during the campaign window, since sellers can update pricing, grade availability and stock without notice.
