Should I buy a refurbished iPad Air?
The first and second generation iPad Air devices are not sold as brand new anymore by Apple, meaning the second hand pre-owned market is the best place to get these devices at very economical prices. You might be able to find what some may classify as a refurbished device off Facebook or Kijiji, however it's important to realize that buying from these platforms provides no recourse if you have a hardware or software malfunction or issue. Purchasing a certified preowned iPad Air 1 from Mobile Tech Lab ensures you are totally protected from any type of warranty issues you may have. This can be anything from a sticky power button to WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity failing a few months into your purchase. All our devices also undergo a 65-point function test and aesthetic appraisal to make sure we're only making the best condition tablets and phones. We also test the battery and replace it if need be, however never the screen or any other major components.
How much is the iPad 1 worth now?
The iPad Air 1 was released in 2013, however it's still been one of the most popular Apple tablet releases to date. While the iPad OS only updates to 12.4.6, mainly due to the limits of the 1GB of RAM and Apple A7 chipset. With that said, the price reflects an economical choice, especially for light users that may only require a tablet that will be used for YouTube, Netflix, or browsing the internet. As a comparison, you can get an Air 1 starting at around $200, where as the Air 2 which is definitely a step up, starts at over $300.
Is the iPad 1st generation still supported?
You can definitely still use the iPad Air 1, however it will only update to iPadOS 12.4.6 which was released in March 2016. Many customers miss these types of updates and only realize after they purchase the tablet that their favorite or most used app isn't supported. If you're upgrading from an iPad 2, 3 or even 4th Generation these are great options as they charge faster via a lightning port which is probably what your current iPhone uses.
Cellular Air 1 devices can still support LTE connectivity and are relatively slim and portable, especially when compared to very old iPad models which charged and operated slower via a 16-pin connector.
Can I trade my old iPad for a new one?
Apple does have a trade in program, however they either give very little or nothing for iPad Air 1 devices. Mobile Tech Lab can actually give you more than the carriers or Apple for you iPad Air 1, or any other iPad you have. We offer our payouts in either cash or store credit, and that's if your device is working or has minor damage like a cracked screen or broken charge port.
