Frequently asked questions
Does the refurbished iPad work with Apple Pencil?
Yes. Apple Pencil compatibility depends on the model, not the iPad’s condition. 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 months warranty. Covers screen, battery, camera, buttons and connectivity.
Which refurbished iPad is cheapest?
The iPad mini and the iPad 9th generation are the most affordable models. Both are suitable for browsing, videos and basic apps. View current prices in the shop.
Can I use a refurbished iPad as a computer?
With a Bluetooth keyboard or Magic Keyboard, yes. The iPad Air M1 or later runs Pages, Numbers, Keynote and even professional apps such as Procreate and LumaFusion.
Does the refurbished iPad receive iPadOS updates?
Yes, exactly the same as a new iPad. Apple supports iPadOS updates for 5, 6 years after launch, plus two 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 use cases, yes. The savings are considerable compared with a new one, with the same functionality. The global refurbished device market continues to grow (Mordor Intelligence) and the tablet segment follows that trend.
Note: the global refurbished device market is still expanding, with annual growth around 6% (Mordor Intelligence). Apple supports iPhones with updates for 5 to 6 years after release (Macworld, 2026).
