Apple Begins Selling Refurbished iPad Air With M3 Chip at a Discount

Apple recently added iPad Air models with the M3 chip to its refurbished store in the United States and many European countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and others.

M3 iPad Air
This is the first time the iPad Air with the M3 chip has been available in Apple's refurbished store since the device was released in March this year.

As usual, the refurbished models are discounted by approximately 15% compared to new models. In the United States, for example, the 11-inch iPad Air with the M3 chip, 128GB of storage, and Wi-Fi only is available for $509, compared to $599 new.

Apple says its refurbished iPads include a new battery and outer shell, a new box, and all accessories, including a 20W USB-C power adapter and/or a USB-C charging cable depending on the country. Apple says it puts refurbished devices through a "thorough cleaning process and inspection," resulting in a like-new condition.

All refurbished iPads are covered by Apple's one-year warranty. AppleCare+ is available.

While some savings can be had here, better iPad deals are often available through Amazon.

What an insult this product is to Apple's engineering teams, and to customers. Side Button Touch ID is the worst user experience Apple has ever shipped, and it was only invented in the first place to gate Face ID behind a higher paid tier.

This product should have Face ID and ProMotion by now. The only reason it doesn't, is because that's iPad Pro. And that's all iPad Pro is. A competent and less greedy CEO would know that the iPad product line should not have an Air and a Pro. It should have the cheapest iPad they can make for the education and child and budget market, and they should have the best iPad they can make, at no more than a 30% markup. But that would end up making iPad Pro into a $600 or $700 product, so they won't.

But it's on the top?
to be fair, top or side depends on the orientation of the device. =)

My M4 Pro has been amazing.

Good luck to anyone who can get it at a discount.
Same here though I wish I went with the 13" instead of the 11"
