Apple enthusiasts can now purchase the iPad Air at a significantly reduced price, with savings of over £290 available in a summer technology sale. The deal, offered by Wowcher, brings the cost of the iPad Air 5 down to as little as £359, representing a discount of 46% compared to the £650 price tag at Love My Phone.
Refurbished iPad Air 5 Pricing and Condition
The offer applies to refurbished units, with the final price depending on the chosen condition. Customers can select 'acceptable' condition for £359 or 'good' condition for £369. According to Wowcher, an 'acceptable' device will exhibit 'clear signs of long-term use', while 'good' models will show 'a few signs of wear-and-tear'. Despite cosmetic differences, both options are guaranteed to provide full functionality, with Wowcher assuring that everything works 'perfectly'.
Performance and Features
The iPad Air 5 is powered by Apple's M1 processor, enabling smooth multitasking and quick response times. Although not the latest model—released in 2022—it remains capable, supporting the newest iPadOS 26 software. The device features a slim 6.1mm profile and weighs just 461g, with a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display that incorporates True Tone and P3 wide colour for vibrant visuals.
Additional specifications include a 12MP wide camera, 64GB of storage, and a battery life of up to 10 hours. The iPad is compatible with accessories such as the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard, though these are sold separately. Delivery costs from Wowcher start at £3.99 per voucher.
Alternative Purchasing Options
For those preferring the latest models without a large upfront payment, Sky Mobile offers the 11-inch iPad Air M4 (released earlier this year) for £16.50 per month. However, this requires a 48-month contract and a £12 upfront fee. Alternatively, Amazon sells the entry-level iPad A16 for £309.97, which features an 11-inch display and 128GB storage—double the capacity of the iPad Air 5.
Customer Reviews and Feedback
Wowcher has accumulated over 140,000 reviews on Trustpilot, earning a four-star rating. One satisfied customer commented, 'Found a great deal on an iPad and it was exactly what I was looking for. Super easy to order.' Another buyer noted, 'I'm not very tech savvy but found the process of buying an iPad extremely easy. Fast delivery, and although it was pre-owned, it was in great condition.'
However, some users found the ordering process slightly confusing. One reviewer stated, 'A little complicated after you buy you then have to pay the seller separately for delivery.' Despite this, another shopper praised the product: 'iPad Air arrived within a week. Being refurbished, I expected a few marks, but it was in near-new condition. A real bargain.'
