Apple fans everywhere welcomed the release of iOS 12 back in September. Faster processing speeds, new apps like Measure, and changes to old standbys like News and Weather made this upgrade worth the wait. However, if you haven’t bought any new hardware for a while, it might be harder to enjoy some of iOS’s fresh features. These early Black Friday deals on certified Apple refurbished gadgets will replace some of your aging devices with lightly used, ready-to-rock Macbooks and iPads.
The base of any Apple product pyramid is the all-star MacBook Pro, a powerful computer that marries user-friendly iOS 12 with stunning graphics on a 13.3” screen. The Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 500GB hard drive will keep thousands of photos, videos, and important files on board. Multiple tabs, apps, and desktop programs will run simultaneously without a hitch, and Intel Turbo Boost Technology uses your laptop’s energy more efficiently for longer battery life.

You can take better photos on this iPad with front and rear cameras, as well as exposure control, face detection, and auto HDR functions.
