We all want the latest and greatest Apple devices but the sad news is they rarely go on sale straight from the source. 

But, there is hope: certified-refurbished devices are basically as good as new and don’t require emptying your bank account. 

Here’s a bunch of different options, ranging in price from about $85 to $399. From old-school first-gen iPad Minis to more modern iPad Airs, you’ll surely find a model that fits your needs and fills that Apple-sized hole in your heart.

Under $100

The iPad Mini is incredibly compact, but still packs 16GB of flash memory, 0.5GB of RAM, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS connectivity, two built-in cameras, and 10 hours of battery life. This one comes with a B+ rating, so it may show light to normal wear and tear, but is completely tested and verified to be fully functional.

While it normally retails for $329, you can save 74% and pick it up for just $84.99 now.

$100 – $150

It may be older, but the iPad 2 still has a lot to love about it. It comes with a dual-core A5 chip to help you get more done faster and will last up to 10 hours on one charge. You can also make FaceTime calls, record HD 720p video, and take PhotoBooth pics with front and back cameras. This one also features 16GB of flash storage and 0.5GB of RAM.
