Unboxing a Refurbished iPad – Value for Money?

We whole heartedly believe in refurbished products so long as they are purchased direct from Apple. These products (as you will see), are identical to brand new products minus a slight variation in the box.. And that’s it!

The product itself is basically brand new and we can highly recommend these as they come with the same warranty as any other Apple product and the same Consumer Law guarantees.
