I know nobody has inside info on this, but I am wondering when you think iPad Pro models might return to the Apple refurbished store.

I believe the 2018 11” model was $999 CAD new, $849 refurbished and $729 as a last-generation refurbished model after the 2020 came out. So I’m hoping it will come back soon at a lower price since it’s one generation and one year older now, similar to the 2-gens-old 10.5” refurbished model that was $499 last year, with a weaker Canadian dollar too (vs $869 new in 2017). If the price pattern holds it could potentially be $579, so that’s why I would be eager to get a refurbished 2018 model rather than paying $999 for a new one!

I am actually looking for a 12.9” model but just using 11” numbers here because that’s what’s handy, but I’d expect the %s to be the same (so hoping for a 2018 refurbished 12.9” at $719 CAD)

Last Year they dropped the price of the refurbished 2017 models when the 2020s came out in March 2020. Do you think it could be after April 30 pre-orders? May deliveries? Even later, or never? They havent even been available at all for at least several months so I wonder if they’ll even have them again

I saw a few refurb 2018 iPad Pros early last year but seems like supply for refurb iPads has been dried up for a while.

Nowadays, I mostly see just the mini and even that's super rare.

The price was lowered and now starts at CAD$649 for the base 2018 iPad Pro 11”.

There is no stock currently, but you can bookmark that link and refresh it from time to time to see if any new stock becomes available.

A few 12.9” 2018 models are in stock as of this post.
