Are refurbished iPads as good as new ones?

Which iPad Pro model should I buy?

Accepted Answer

The refurbished iPad Pro is available from the M1 (2021) to the M5 (2025) on Back Market. Here's how to choose: iPad Pro M5 (2025): latest generation, top performance, starting well below the $1,199 new retail price iPad Pro M4 (2024): Ultra Retina XDR display (Tandem OLED), thinnest iPad Pro ever, Apple Intelligence support iPad Pro M2 (2022): excellent all-rounder, Wi-Fi 6E, ProRes video, great value well below $799 new iPad Pro M1 (2021): the most affordable M-chip entry point, below $799 new A-series models (2015 to 2018): budget-friendly from $106; iPadOS 26 compatibility varies by model M1 and M2 suit everyday tasks and creative work.

Question 3

What's the difference between the iPad Pro M4, M2, and M1?

Accepted Answer

All three share ProMotion 120Hz, Apple Pencil (2nd gen) support, and Stage Manager multitasking, but the differences are meaningful: iPad Pro M4 (2024): Ultra Retina XDR display (Tandem OLED), thinnest design ever, Apple Intelligence, up to 16GB RAM iPad Pro M2 (2022): Liquid Retina XDR, Wi-Fi 6E, ProRes video, Apple Pencil hover detection, up to 16GB RAM iPad Pro M1 (2021): Liquid Retina XDR, Thunderbolt/USB 4, first M-chip iPad Pro, up to 16GB RAM Short version: choose M4 for OLED and future-proofing, M2 for the best display-to-value ratio, and M1 for the most affordable M-chip entry.

Question 4

Can a refurbished iPad Pro get iPadOS updates?

Accepted Answer

Refurbished status has zero impact on software updates. What matters is the chip, not the purchase history. All M1, M2, M4, and M5 iPad Pro models are fully supported by iPadOS 26. iPad Pro models from 2018 (A12X Bionic) onward are also compatible. The 2017 model (A10X Fusion) and older are not supported by iPadOS 26. Apple Intelligence requires an M1 chip or newer. For more detail, see can a refurbished iPad get iOS updates.

Question 5

Is the iPad Pro better than the iPad Air?

Accepted Answer

The iPad Pro delivers more on spec: ProMotion 120Hz across all models, Ultra Retina XDR (Tandem OLED) on M4 and M5, ProRes video, a Thunderbolt port (M1 and newer), and a 13-inch size option. The iPad Air is lighter, more affordable, and handles everyday tasks and light creative work with ease. Choose iPad Pro for video editing, graphic design, and heavy multitasking Choose iPad Air for note-taking, browsing, productivity, and most everyday use cases A refurbished iPad Pro M1 or M2 can cost the same as a new iPad Air, delivering significantly more performance per dollar.
