Apple is no longer carrying any first-generation iPads on the Special Deals section of its online store - the only place where you could secure an original version of the tablet computer as a refurbished product, straight from its makers.Ever since Apple stopped producing the original iPad, the company has been selling refurbished units through its online store’s dedicated section. As of today, not a single 2010 tablet can be found to buy.
The last time I saw them iPad 1s on Apple Deals they were selling like hot cake at amazing $230 discounts. Since the company no longer makes them, those looking to score a similar discount are now at the mercy of returned units.
Yes, there’s still a chance to get an iPad 1 at $399 or less in the future. Just don’t bet on it.
