    FAQs

    For more detailed information and additional queries, please refer to our FAQ Page.

    Which refurbished iPad should I choose?

    The right iPad comes down to three things: what you will use it for, how portable it needs to be, and whether you plan to draw, take notes, or work professionally on it. Here is a breakdown of the four lines:

    • iPad, the standard model. Best for everyday browsing, streaming, email, schoolwork, and casual use. Powered by Apple's A-series chip, it runs iPadOS comfortably and supports the USB-C Apple Pencil. The practical choice if you want a capable tablet without paying for features you will not use. Browse our refurbished iPads.
    • iPad mini, the compact model. Best for reading, travel, gaming, and one-handed use. The 8.3-inch display makes it the most portable iPad in the range. The 7th generation uses the A17 Pro chip and supports Apple Pencil Pro, so it is more capable than its size suggests. Browse our refurbished iPad mini.
    • iPad Air, the mid-range model. Best for creative work, productivity, and users who want M-series performance without the iPad Pro price. Available in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes. Supports Apple Pencil Pro, runs desktop-class apps well, and is Apple Intelligence ready on recent generations. Browse our refurbished iPad Air.
    • iPad Pro, the professional model. Best for creative professionals, video editors, illustrators, and anyone replacing a laptop with a tablet. Features the Ultra Retina XDR tandem OLED display on recent generations, ProMotion 120Hz refresh, Thunderbolt connectivity, and the M-series chip found in Mac models. Browse our refurbished iPad Pro.
    Which refurbished iPad Pro should I choose?

    The right iPad Pro comes down to chip generation, display size, and display technology. Here is a breakdown of the generations typically available refurbished:

    • iPad Pro (M1, 2021). The first iPad Pro with M-series silicon. 11-inch model uses Liquid Retina LCD; 12.9-inch model uses Liquid Retina XDR mini-LED for HDR content. Thunderbolt / USB 4, ProMotion 120Hz, 2nd generation Apple Pencil support. Storage from 128GB to 2TB.
    • iPad Pro (M2, 2022). Same chassis and displays as the M1 generation, upgraded to the M2 chip. Adds Apple Pencil hover, which previews content before the tip touches the display. The practical choice if you want iPad Pro M-series performance at the best refurbished price point.
    • iPad Pro (M4, 2024). A full redesign. Ultra Retina XDR tandem OLED display on both 11-inch and 13-inch models, thinner chassis, M4 chip, and Apple Pencil Pro support. The first iPad Pro with Face ID in landscape orientation by default through the front camera. Storage from 256GB to 2TB.

    Is a refurbished iPad Pro worth buying?

    Yes. A refurbished iPad Pro is the most cost-effective way to get Apple's top-tier tablet with M-series performance, ProMotion 120Hz, and Thunderbolt connectivity. Every unit has been tested, cleaned, and restored to working order, with battery health verified and a 12-month warranty included. iPad Pro M1 onwards continues to receive iPadOS updates and runs current apps, including demanding creative software, without compromise. The only meaningful differences from new are cosmetic grade and the saving against Apple's UK retail price.
    What is the difference between iPad Pro and iPad Air?

    Both use M-series chips and both support Apple Pencil Pro on recent generations, so raw performance is closer than the price difference suggests. The meaningful distinctions are display, refresh rate, and port. The iPad Pro uses ProMotion 120Hz refresh across all generations, while the iPad Air runs at 60Hz. The iPad Pro M4 uses Ultra Retina XDR tandem OLED, which delivers deeper blacks, higher peak brightness, and better HDR performance than the Air's Liquid Retina LCD. The iPad Pro uses Thunderbolt / USB 4, which supports faster external storage and display output than the iPad Air's standard USB-C. For colour-critical creative work, high-refresh gaming, or professional video workflows, those differences matter. For most other uses, the iPad Air gets you there for less. Browse the refurbished iPad Air range to compare directly.
    What is ProMotion and why does it matter?

    ProMotion is Apple's name for the 120Hz variable refresh rate display technology used on iPad Pro. It doubles the refresh rate compared to standard 60Hz displays, which makes scrolling, animation, and Apple Pencil input noticeably smoother. The refresh rate adjusts dynamically to save battery when high refresh is not needed. For illustrators and designers, ProMotion means Apple Pencil input appears on screen with much less latency, which is closer to the feel of drawing on paper. For gaming and video, content that supports high refresh rates looks noticeably smoother. Only iPad Pro offers ProMotion in the current iPad range.
    Which iPad Pro models support Apple Intelligence?

    All iPad Pro M1 onwards support Apple Intelligence, because the feature requires an M1 chip or later on iPad. That means iPad Pro M1, iPad Pro M2, and iPad Pro M4 are all Apple Intelligence ready. If Apple Intelligence features such as writing tools, image generation, and the updated Siri matter to you, any generation on our refurbished iPad Pro page is a valid choice.
    What battery health can I expect from a refurbished iPad Pro?

    Battery health is verified during testing and the status is noted on the product listing. iPad batteries are designed to retain up to 80% of their original capacity at 1,000 complete charge cycles, which typically takes several years of normal use. If battery performance falls below our threshold, the battery is replaced or the unit is downgraded and priced accordingly. If your iPad Pro's battery performance drops below expectations within the warranty period, contact our support team.
    What does Loop Certified refurbished mean for iPad Pro?

    Loop Certified is our internal refurbishment standard. Every iPad Pro is put through a 75-point quality check covering battery health, display, touch response, ProMotion behaviour, Face ID or Touch ID depending on generation, front and rear cameras, LiDAR scanner, speakers, microphones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular connectivity where applicable, Thunderbolt port, buttons, and storage integrity. Cosmetic condition is then graded (Premium, Excellent, Good, Fair) so you know exactly what you are buying. Every Loop Certified iPad Pro ships with a 12-month warranty and free 30-day returns.

    Choosing your iPad Pro

    A refurbished iPad Pro performs identically to a new one. The iPad Pro is Apple's top-tier tablet, built around M-series chips, ProMotion 120Hz refresh, Thunderbolt / USB 4 connectivity, and the highest-quality displays in the iPad range. From the M1 generation onwards it runs the same silicon family Apple uses in Mac, which means a refurbished iPad Pro handles 4K video editing, complex illustration, 3D work, and demanding creative software without the limitations typically associated with tablet hardware.

    Before buying a refurbished iPad Pro, four technical details are worth checking on the listing: chip generation, display size, display technology, and storage capacity. Chip generation determines long-term iPadOS support and raw performance. Display size matters for creative workflows, particularly on the 12.9-inch (M1, M2) or 13-inch (M4) models, which give meaningfully more canvas space for illustration, split-screen work, and document review. Display technology differs across generations: the M1 11-inch uses Liquid Retina LCD, the M1 and M2 12.9-inch models use Liquid Retina XDR mini-LED, and the M4 uses Ultra Retina XDR tandem OLED on both sizes. Storage cannot be expanded after purchase, so choose enough headroom for apps, libraries, and offline media upfront.

    Accessory compatibility varies by generation. The iPad Pro M1 and M2 support the 2nd generation Apple Pencil, which attaches and charges magnetically on the side of the iPad. The iPad Pro M4 supports the newer Apple Pencil Pro, which adds squeeze gestures, barrel roll, haptic feedback, and Find My, plus the USB-C Apple Pencil as a more affordable alternative. Apple Pencil Pro is not backward compatible with iPad Pro M1 or M2, so check the generation before buying if Apple Pencil Pro matters to you.

    Choosing by what you actually need

    The most cost-effective way into iPad Pro: the iPad Pro M1 is the oldest M-series iPad Pro and typically the best value on the refurbished market. ProMotion 120Hz, Thunderbolt, Face ID, and Apple Intelligence support are all present. The trade-off is the older chip and the 11-inch model's Liquid Retina LCD rather than an XDR display. For most creative and professional work, the M1 remains a very capable machine.

    Best balance of performance and price: the iPad Pro M2 adds the M2 chip and Apple Pencil hover over the M1 generation, with the same chassis, displays, and port layout. If you can find an M2 at a meaningful saving against the M4, it is often the sharpest value in the range, especially in the 12.9-inch mini-LED configuration for HDR creative work.

    The flagship creative and professional choice: the iPad Pro M4 is a genuine redesign. The Ultra Retina XDR tandem OLED display delivers deeper blacks, higher peak brightness, and better HDR performance than any previous iPad. The M4 chip handles heavy workloads such as 4K ProRes video editing, complex 3D scenes, and on-device machine learning tasks faster than any iPad before it. The thinner chassis and landscape-orientation Face ID make it better suited to a Magic Keyboard laptop-style workflow. If your work genuinely demands the best display and processing available in an iPad, the M4 is the answer.

    12.9-inch or 13-inch for creative canvas: the larger iPad Pro size changes what the device is suitable for. Illustration, split-screen productivity, document review, and musical notation all benefit from the extra screen area. If you will use the iPad Pro primarily at a desk or in a Magic Keyboard, the larger size is worth the additional outlay over the 11-inch option.

    iPad Pro compared to MacBook Air or MacBook Pro

    A common question is whether a refurbished iPad Pro or a refurbished MacBook is the better buy. They run different operating systems and suit different workflows. iPad Pro is a touch-first device, optimised for Apple Pencil input, drawing, note-taking, and apps that benefit from a tablet form factor. It also supports a keyboard and trackpad through the Magic Keyboard, which turns it into a capable laptop-style machine for writing and productivity. MacBook Air and MacBook Pro run macOS, which supports the full range of desktop software including professional video editing, development tools, and multi-window workflows that iPadOS handles more simply. If your work relies on macOS-specific software, a MacBook is the right choice. If you want a tablet-first device that can also do laptop work, the iPad Pro is the answer. Compare directly against the refurbished MacBook Air or refurbished MacBook Pro range.

    What Loop Certified refurbished means for iPad Pro

    A refurbished iPad Pro is a previously owned unit that has been returned, inspected, and restored. Loop's 75-point quality check covers every core function of the device: battery health, display, touch response, ProMotion behaviour, Face ID, front and rear cameras, LiDAR scanner, speakers, microphones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular connectivity where applicable, Thunderbolt port, buttons, and storage integrity. The iPad Pro is then reset to factory condition, updated to a current iPadOS release, and repackaged in 100% recycled Loop packaging.

    Cosmetic condition is graded separately from functional performance. A Fair grade iPad Pro performs identically to a Premium grade iPad Pro. The difference is surface wear only, and the grade is clearly labelled on each listing so you know exactly what you are buying before checkout. Every Loop Certified iPad Pro ships with a 12-month warranty and free 30-day returns.

    The environmental case for buying refurbished

    Manufacturing a new iPad Pro requires raw material extraction, component production, assembly, and global shipping. The higher the specification, the greater the embedded carbon footprint of a new unit. A refurbished iPad Pro is the same device returned to use rather than replaced, avoiding those emissions entirely. Loop ships every order in 100% recycled packaging with a 99% CO2 saving on delivery, verified by Greenly, a certified carbon accounting partner. Choosing refurbished is one of the most direct consumer actions available for reducing electronic waste and extending the useful life of existing hardware. Learn more on the Loop sustainability page.
