All iPads 256GB Air 5 or Refurbished 128GB iPad Pro?

[iPad Bro]

So I’ve been trying to decide between these two. The M1 256GB iPad Air or the Apple Certified Refurbished M1 iPad Pro. I’ve never bought a certified refurbished device from Apple, but I’ve seen some positive things from users on here.

Which would you choose? And could you provide more insight on the refurbished Apple devices?

Thank you very much! 🙂

Without question, the 256 gb air. Same chip, more storage.

Without question, the pro, better screen, better speakers.
More seriously it's a matter of priorities. I would take the pro any day, but how much speakers and screen are important vs storage is a subjective matter of priorities.

Excellently put!

Besides that, the topic does come up regularly around here so please browse the board further for more input and opinions!

Personally, pro any day.

Apple refurbs are as good as new. New screen, new case, new battery, get put through even stricter tests than the brand new units as well. If i had the choice, i would go for the pro, quad speakers, brighter and high refresh screen, smaller bezels as well. Overall the better pick if price was close

With question; is 128gb sufficient for your usage? How is your previous iPad? If so, get the Pro for better screen, speaker, build etc.

Yeah, 128GB is enough for me because I have 2TB of iCloud and don’t save any movies, TV shows, etc. on my previous iPads.

then it's a no brainer if price is the same or close

M1 Pro is excellent I have the 128gb and use iCloud, I have 200gb of photo/videos, pro motion, quad speakers, FID, forget the air lol
With a user name like iPad bro, shouldn't have to ask I would of thought.

Face ID is another plus for me when it comes to the pro.

The Pro is brighter when using it outside.
