Frequently asked questions
Does the refurbished iPad work with Apple Pencil?
Yes. Apple Pencil compatibility depends on the model, not the condition of the iPad. iPad Air and iPad Pro support Apple Pencil 2 or Pro. The base iPad supports Apple Pencil 1.
Does the refurbished iPad have a warranty?
At iOutlet, 24-month warranty. Covers screen, battery, camera, buttons and connectivity.
What's the cheapest refurbished iPad?
The iPad mini and iPad 9th generation are the most affordable. Both are functional for browsing, videos and basic apps. See current prices in store.
Can I use the refurbished iPad as a computer?
With a Bluetooth keyboard or Magic Keyboard, yes. The iPad Air M1 or above runs Pages, Numbers, Keynote and even professional applications like Procreate and LumaFusion.
Does the refurbished iPad receive iPadOS updates?
Yes, exactly the same as a new iPad. Apple supports iPads with iPadOS updates for 5-6 years after release, plus 2 years of security patches. An iPad Air M1 (2022) should receive updates at least until 2027-2028.
Is it worth buying a refurbished iPad instead of a new one?
For most uses, yes. The saving is substantial compared with new, with the same functionality. The global refurbished device market keeps growing (Mordor Intelligence) and the tablet segment follows the same trend.
Note: the global refurbished device market keeps expanding, with annual growth of around 6% (Mordor Intelligence). Apple supports iPhones with updates for 5 to 6 years after release (Macworld, 2026).
