Refurbushed ipad 4's?

[PokerGuy]

Does apple sell refurbished ipad 4's yet? I took a look at their refurbished ipad page and didn't see any, but do they sell them at all yet, or just the older models? With previous models, was there a pattern as to when they'd start selling refurbished models?

You have to just keep checking. They don't have placeholders for non-existent stock on the refurbished page, either it's there, or it's not. As for patterns... that's a question for someone else.

Theoretically, they wait for some time and some amount of returned stock to accumulate before listing it. It took a long while for the iPad 3 to show up.

About a week ago, I was surprised to see the base level 2012 Mac Mini in the refurb section for $509. It disappeared about 4 hours later. I also have seen the $799 level mini (for $679) and mini server (for $849) versions recently.

Thanks for the update. I was thinking there would be some delay before they'd start selling the ipad 4 refurbished, but I'm curious what that delay will be. The 4th gen just started selling recently so it might be a while.
