Consider "Refurbished" For Next Purchase

You don't always have to spend top dollar for the latest Apple devices. If you don't mind getting something that's one generation older you should check out Apple Certified Refurbished > HERE.

Your savings is about $30 on an iPod to over $200 on an iPad. Each pre-owned Apple product undergoes Apple's stringent refurbishment process > HERE. This is what they say about each device:
  • is fully tested (including full burn-in testing).
  • is refurbished with replacement parts for any defective modules identified in testing.
  • is put through a thorough cleaning process and inspection.
  • is repackaged (including appropriate manuals, cables, new boxes, etc.).
  • includes either the Operating System originally shipped with the unit or, in some cases, a more recent version.
  • is placed into a Final QA inspection prior to being offered for sale.

As an example, here's what you'll get with the purchase of a refurbished iPad:
  • 1-year warranty
  • new battery
  • new outer shell
  • new manual
  • new accessories
  • new white box
All refurbished products also come with FREE shipping!

If you have an old Apple product you no longer want or need they will recycle it for free, and if it qualifies, they’ll send you a gift card. They even provide a prepaid mailing label. Read more about the recycling program > HERE.
