GOBankingRates did a deep dive to figure out how to get the best of these items, but for less. Here are four used Apple products that will last and save you some money .

Money mistakes the super wealthy never make - that you might be doing now.

iPhone 13

The iPhone 13 might not be the newest model, but it most likely has everything you need in a smartphone. The 13 has a nice camera setup, Face ID and a long-lasting battery — perfect for work sessions or TikTok scrolling.

Plus, it’s still getting the latest iOS updates, so you’ll stay current with all the Apple releases.

iPad 9th Generation

If you need more advanced capabilities, it’s best to stick to the newest iPad. However, for most people, the 9th gen iPad is a solid choice.

If you’re looking for a tablet to stream your favorite shows, browse the web or even getting basic work done, it’s a great option. It has a decent camera for all your Zoom needs, and it’s compatible with the Apple Pencil if you’re feeling artsy.

MacBook Air (M1)

The MacBook Air with the M1 chip might be a couple of years old, but it’s still a great investment. The M1 chip means it’s fast, efficient and reliable. You’re getting incredible battery life, a fan-free design and performance that’ll handle everything from Netflix binges to video editing.

You can find some sweet deals on refurbished or gently used versions to potentially save hundreds of dollars.

Apple Watch Series 5

The Apple Watch Series 5 isn’t the newest model, but it’s got a trick up its sleeve — or rather, on its face.

The Series 5 was the first Apple Watch to feature the always-on display. That means you can check the time without doing that awkward wrist flick thing. Plus, it has all the health and fitness tracking features you need to start that workout routine … someday.

Where To Snag These Deals

Now that you’re interested in older Apple products, you need to know how to get them. Here are a few places to look:

• Apple Certified Refurbished: It’s like the Apple Store, but with better prices and slightly less shiny boxes.
• Amazon Renewed: They have an excellent selection and a 90-day guarantee.
• Back Market: They specialize in refurbished tech and offer a one-year warranty.
• Swappa: It’s like eBay, but specifically for tech. Pro-tip: Make sure to read the seller’s ratings.

Happy hunting, Apple lovers!!
