    Thinking of buying a 4th gen 64g iPad which is refurbished. It comes with a 3 month warranty. If anything goes wrong during the next 9 months will Apple cover it or am I stuck with the 3 month only? (not buying it from Apple)

    If it has been refurbed, but not by Apple, I don't see them touching it under warranty. You should probably ring Apple and ask them directly.

    Not unless it's within its 12 months of original purchase date.

    Not necessarily. I'm nearly sure anything you buy from the apple refurb store has a 12 month warranty. A refurb as a replacement only covers to the original warranty date.
