Hey everyone,

I'm looking to upgrade from my 10.5 inch iPad Pro and like the new versions, but I'm also of the mind that the 3rd generation and 4th generation would be sufficient for me.

Where do you recommend purchasing older models as new?

I'd buy refurbished via the Apple website but there aren't any available. Would you anticipate having more when the new models are officially on the market?

I would pick from Swappa.

Apple's own refurb site is the only place I would truly trust to be like-new. But yeah, you have to keep a close eye on it for actual stock, and the price isn't really any better than the sales that often roll around. Retailers will probably have the older models available for awhile, with hopefully more and more sales to clear that inventory. I would keep an eye out for those sales.
