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 😭🥹

✨ I’m truly happy with my purchase ✨ I bought a refurbished iPad from Back Market and it honestly exceeded my expectations. It arrived in perfect condition, looks just like brand new, and works flawlessly. The battery life is great, the screen is spotless, and the performance is smooth and fast. The best part is that I was able to get a high–quality device at an amazing price, with the peace of mind that it has been properly checked and certified. I would definitely buy from Back Market again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for top tech without overspending.

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

I bought this in Feb 2026 and the current iPad is the 8th generation. After reviewing the specs, I thought the 7th-generation iPad Pro would be an ideal purchase based on price and functionality. The most affordable platform I found was from Back Market. It arrived within 2-3 days of purchase and was exactly what I needed.

I really had mixed feelings. I once ordered a used tablet from Walmart and I couldn’t even download apps on the thing. Wasted 80$. But I am so thankful I came across this site. I ordered my tablet Sunday and received it Tuesday. Mind you Monday was a holiday. I opened up my nicely packed package and the tablet looks absolutely brand new!! No scratches/ dents/ no evidence of previous use. And I got excellent condition. I’m so happy about this I am making referrals and I will most definitely purchase electronics from this site again!! I have 4 kids and am a single parent I can’t afford to buy all my kids brand new electronics! I am so thankful! ORDER THE TABLET YOU WONT BE SORRY!

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.
