Don’t get burned (literally) by these risks when you’re buying a used iPad

Apple is notoriously clingy when it comes to profit margins. That’s why it prefers to target “premium” (read: richer) shoppers, rather than focusing on cheaper products like the MacBook Neo, the iPhone 17e, or yes, the base iPad. If you’re willing to spend over $1,000 on a tablet, chances are you’re not going to complain too much about being milked for features like extra storage. The company also refuses to engage in traditional sales, keeping devices at full price until they’re replaced.
