For those wanting a decent deal on the Ipad Pro in Rose Gold / Gold
Apple have a few listings online atm on their Professionally Refurbished Site
Includes a 12month Warranty, New Battery and Covers

As per the apple website

We test and certify all Apple refurbished products and include a 1-year warranty.
All refurbished iPad models also include a brand new battery and outer shell.
Engraving and gift wrapping not available for refurbished iPads

Much better than risking a grey import, not the cheapest they have been but for 12 months warranty and a like "new" ipad I feel this is a good price

The 128gb is also $849

Free shipping makes the deal even sweeter

    Same warranty as the refurbished (I've bought Apple refurbished products many times over the past ten years. Basically, the only thing you don't get with refurbished is engraving and gift-wrapping.

    21.95 delivery fee vs free shipping via apple

    $770.08 inc gst

    Consumer law protects people as well anyway even if it was refurbished, I trust apple refurbs and the unit I got looked brand new so no complaints from me

    Also ifrog are a education reseller so not everyone can use them either

      Second Hand / Refurbished vrs new

      Consumer law protects people as well anyway even if it was refurbished

      Interesting, I can not find any thing to support that Apple will indeed offer 2 years warranty on a second hand / refurbished device

      Also ifrog are a education reseller so not everyone can use them either

      Correct me if I am wrong, I was able to click through the check out process and check out as a guest.
      I have never purchased from them, however I can not see any road blocks which limit transactions to the education industry only.

        1. Why pay 22 dollars vs getting it free

        2.Apples and oranges literally, don't like the deal don't comment, I didn't have to post it here

        3. They can and will cover it, I had a refurb macbook outside of 2 years die with a battery fault / Trackpad issue, guess what, covered by apple due to being polite and nice about it, they had all records of the unit refurbishment on file so it saved a LOT of issues

        4. ifrog are a education reseller, not once did I say you couldn't buy it, not everyone can use them as sometimes they list "education" prices on their website and the end product may be much dearer.

        5. To be honest new vs refurbished with apple isn't that big of a deal, the unit I bought was practically brand new and had new covers all around / new keyboard, brand new battery, the cost saving didn't bother me.

        I am guessing you comprehension is clouded by your emotions.
        I am sorry your feelings have been hurt.

        Interesting, you have noted:

        Working at a Genius bar for long enough I learnt to work out the dodgy units from the good ones and people trying to get terrible refurbed units fixed with our store

        not everyone can use them as sometimes they list "education" prices on their website and the end product may be much dearer

        Lots of variables there. So you are commenting on the future of all purchases via iFrog rather than the suggested offer, I see why you would do that.

        To be honest new vs refurbished with apple isn't that big of a deal, the unit I bought was practically brand new and had new covers all around / new keyboard, brand new battery, the cost saving didn't bother me.

        Luckily for you we all have choices in life. If you do not see value in the brand new unit from iFrog, buy your refurb unit and live your life…

  The only time that refurbished is acceptable is directly from Apple, no point in paying $5 less for possible generic screens, batteries, and non working Touch ID. (Knocking dodgy refurb places not this deal)

  • 

    [Deactivated] on 31/12/2016 - 12:18

    The added benefit is, if something did go wrong (usually good with apple direct deals anyway) you can walk into an apple store and walk out with another unit with no fuss

    Grey import has nothing on this feature at all

      You are wrong. Grey imports work fine when asking for warranty when you walk up to their bar

        [Deactivated] on 31/12/2016 - 12:29

        Let me rephrase that for you then

        You are correct provided they are NEW and covered by the apple international warranty terms ie Kogan etc

        The moment you buy a refurbished unit outside of Apple's network / Authorized partners for this work, they won't cover it, Working at a Genius bar for long enough I learnt to work out the dodgy units from the good ones and people trying to get terrible refurbed units fixed with our store

        We didn't cover it and most of the time the sellers put inferior screens in the units and batteries causing all kinds of headaches

        I would not buy apple products outside of the proper channels for new / refurb and grey importers

        You are risking a lot more by trying to save money.

      By the way refurbished grey import units are not covered by apple at all
      they can check serial numbers and if the place is not an authorized apple dealer / trader you WILL NOT be covered
      plain and simple

  I agree with the "beware of grey imports" comments. Even if you do get Apple to honour the 12 month warranty, you may not be able to get them to honour the Australian 2 year ACCC warranty. Also, you can't guarantee the grey import is not a "bitzer".

    Exactly, from dodgy IMEI numbers blocked in other countries used here, to inferior screens, bent cases, parts missing
    I saw it all working in the genius bar.

      That sort of thing always astounds me. You read, all the time, on whirlpool about dodgy purchases and/or repairs; although the one that took the biscuit was the guy who bought a second hand device, the seller hadn't reset the device properly and then wasn't contactable, and the guy was whining the Apple wouldn't reset the device for him. Hmmm, I wonder, just wonder, if the device "might" have been stolen.

        We used to get icloud lockouts all the time, some people were genuine and we could do it with enough proof they actually owned the device
        we had one or two dodgy clients but reporting the IMEI and turning them away is all you can really do

        IMEI number is stored on the SIM tray and alot of criminals don't know that, takes about 30 seconds for us to check the device against a database, unfortunately its the poor client who loses the device as it was a stolen / blacklisted device

        If you do buy any device, ensure it is icloud unlocked / restored and don't hand over cash until you can prove this
        also take another device with you to check the imei number / icloud lock state

        Be aware though IMEI numbers can have a 24-48 hour delay before the device is bricked / useless

        I try to buy new where I can or apple refurbished, alot of people whinge about apple but the truth is, getting a new device on the spot is not a huge issue and one of the benfits, even though its refurbished, apple go through A LOT of stages to refurbishment to ensure the device is like new

        @shawncro 222: Actually, I think having a refurb might be superior to the new version; purely as it is more likely to be given a full suite of testing before being sent out. Buying a second hand device through the private market is something I would never consider. You have no idea if this has been subject to 3rd Party repairs, if the device is stolen, if the guy is going to "brick" it to claim insurance fraud, whatever. I keep my devices for a number of years so it is either new, through an Australian dealer, or refurbished via Apple. It might cost me a bit more but it gives me better peace of mind. (Fingers crossed I haven't had a dud yet. My Ipod Gen4, released 2004, is still working.)
