Cheap used ipad

smallzoo2

Would you recommend the best used iPads for two different needs

1) cheap and cheerful , purely for web browsing , watching Netflix etc on wifi..nothing else

2) as above but a bit more power, storage and connections

Both must be as big as screen as possible 

Thanks

Budget?

Give you want 2 to have more power and storage, do you have more budget for it or you happy to have one in rough condition? 

iPads have 1 connection

If it's "as big as possible" then it has to be either an iPad Pro or the latest iPad Air as they're the only ones in 13". So depending on budget will define how old a generation it will need to be.

Didn't realise they were 13" , 11" would probably do... Certainly sub £250 Ish for the cheaper one

Have a look at Backmarket.  Can get an older model for just over £200

Another recommendation for the grossly over priced company?

They are much more expensive than Apple for Refurb on a like for like basis, the only difference is that Apple sell back to 2020 models whereas these guys go older and these sell things that they state are in "fair" condition whereas apple only sell those in Excellent condition.

11" is just the iPad Pro, they do the 10.9" in the iPad Air or 10.2" in iPad

Performance, for the same time period is iPad->iPad Mini-> iPad Air -> iPad Pro

Not a recommendation just a suggestion. 

If Apple refurb, who I have bought from in the past, are a better option then great.

Thanks to all...bought a refurbed 9th gen iPad from apple for a good price and my wife is over the moon

Now for the even cheaper one (lol). I have to decide when to spend £150 to fix my early 2015 MacBook pro or £200 ish for really cheap iPad !.. I will only use it for browsing and streaming
