A parent discusses their decision to purchase a refurbished iPad for their seven-year-old son who wanted a device with a pen, like the Apple Pencil compatible models. They highlight that a refurbished device is the same functionally and offers a significant discount.
“And he said, Oh, I want that one with the pen. And I'm like, I know exactly which one you're talking about.”
“So, you know, I'm not going to get him a new one. I'm not going to get him a brand new one. So I'm going to get him a refurbished iPad.”
“It's the exact same device. It works exactly the same way. And I get a significant discount.”
