At The Phone Shopper you will find a wide range of refurbished iPad tablets. Every device is professionally tested, cleaned and where needed repaired by our certified technicians. With a 2 year warranty, free shipping from €500 and 30 days to change your mind you shop without risk.
Professionally tested refurbished iPads — Pro, Air, mini and standard — with a 2-year warranty, 30-day returns and free shipping from €500.
A refurbished iPad is the smartest way to get Apple quality without paying the price of new. Every iPad at The Phone Shopper is fully tested on 50 points, has a battery with at least 85% capacity and comes with a 2-year warranty and 30-day returns.
For the sofa and on the go, the compact iPad mini 6 (8.3-inch) is the favourite. The iPad Air 6 with 11-inch screen and M2 chip is the sweet spot for most people. If you want the largest possible screen for studying, drawing or watching films, go for the iPad Air 13-inch (2025, M3), or get pro quality at an entry-level price with the iPad Pro 12.9-inch with 120Hz ProMotion — or the 5th generation with M1 chip if you want it to last for years.
Every iPad comes as a Wi-Fi model (for home use) or with a cellular connection via SIM card or eSIM for internet on the go. Also look at the storage when choosing: 64GB is enough for streaming and browsing; take 128GB or 256GB if you keep lots of apps, photos and videos on the device.
A refurbished iPad is usually a smart choice: you pay far less than new, the device is professionally tested and cleaned, and every model in our range runs the latest iPadOS version. For browsing, streaming, school and banking you won't notice any difference from new.
Compare sellers on warranty, return window and what happens if something breaks. Some webshops offer a 3-year warranty; we choose a 2-year warranty with an in-house workshop in Nijverdal (NL) — if something goes wrong we repair it ourselves instead of shipping your device to an external service centre.
| What to check | At The Phone Shopper |
|---|---|
| Warranty | 2 years on every refurbished device |
| Return window | 30 days to return |
| Repairs on defects | In-house workshop — no external service centre, shorter turnaround |
| Old iPad or phone | Trade-in available; the amount is deducted directly |

Apple doesn't publish end dates per model, but historically an iPad receives about 6 to 7 years of iPadOS updates from its release year, followed by several years of security updates. Every model in our range runs the current iPadOS version. The years below are an expectation based on that pattern — not an Apple guarantee.
| Model | Released | iPadOS updates expected until ±* |
|---|---|---|
| iPad 8 | 2020 | 2026–2027 |
| iPad Pro 12.9" (4th gen) | 2020 | 2026–2027 |
| iPad 9 | 2021 | 2027–2028 |
| iPad mini 6 | 2021 | 2027–2028 |
| iPad Pro 12.9" (5th gen, M1) | 2021 | 2027–2028 |
| iPad Air 5 (M1) | 2022 | 2028–2029 |
| refurbished iPad mini 7 | 2024 | 2030–2031 |
| iPad Air 6 (M2) | 2024 | 2030–2031 |
| iPad 11 | 2025 | 2031–2032 |
| iPad Air 7 (M3) | 2025 | 2031–2032 |
* Expectation based on Apple's historical update pattern (± 6–7 years from release). Apple does not announce end dates.
| Use case | Best pick from our range | Why |
|---|---|---|
| School & study | iPad 9 or iPad 11 | Affordable, Apple Pencil support, plenty for notes and Office |
| Banking apps & daily use | iPad 9 or newer | Runs the current iPadOS version — key for banking-app requirements |
| Drawing & photo/video editing | iPad Air with M-chip or iPad Pro 12.9" | M-chip speed; the Pro 12.9" has a 120Hz ProMotion display |
| Movies & series | iPad Air 13-inch or iPad Pro 12.9" | Big screen, great for two viewers or on the road |
| On the go & e-reader size | iPad mini 6 or mini 7 | 8.3-inch, fits a jacket pocket or small bag |
Models that no longer receive the latest iPadOS version, such as the iPad 7 (2019) and older: banking and streaming apps keep raising their requirements. That's why we only sell models running the current iPadOS version.
Practically: once it stops receiving iPadOS updates. Apps often keep working for 1-2 more years, but new app versions and security updates gradually stop. See the update table above.
Light signs of use are possible (depending on the chosen grade), the battery is tested but not new by default, and there's no original Apple box. In return: a much lower price, a 2-year warranty and 30-day returns.
Second-hand you buy from a private seller, unchecked and without warranty. Refurbished is professionally tested, cleaned, repaired where needed, and comes with a 2-year warranty and 30-day returns from us.
