After visiting an apple store and hubby seeing in action- he wants one too. The apple employee did mention a refurbished as a $ saving possibility since we are both looking for one(each).
Anybody ever buy refurbished and any feedback or concerns- I would only buy through the apple site .
How timely you ask this question! I just ordered a refurbed iPad Mini last week and had it shipped to the Apple Store close to my house. I picked it up 2 days ago and am quite pleased with it! Even the Apple Employee at the store said I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the new and the refurbished. Since I bought it--I am truly sold on buying another refurbed something or the other! Absolutely impressed with how it looked out of the box. Saved $100 for a 64 GB white iPad Mini.
It came wrapped in plastic and in the traditional Apple White Box. Note the wording on the bottom of the box..
The casing, both screen and backing were spotless!! It came with a new battery and casing. You also get a new cord and plug with the device.
Firing up.. I had to update it to 6.1.3 before restoring it from my iPad 2 backup--working beautifully!
Did I tell you also that you get the Apple Stickers also!! Love those!
