Top Tech for the Autumn Season

Autumn is here — the season of crisp mornings, cosy evenings, hot chocolates and staying tucked away from the chill. And what better way to get ready than upgrading your tech? Whether you’re binge-watching your favourite spooky films or spending more time indoors with family, having the right devices can make autumn even more enjoyable.

At Envirofone, we don’t just do smartphones. We stock a huge range of refurbished tablets, earbuds, consoles and accessories perfect for getting autumn-ready. Here’s our top tech for the season.

If you're looking for year-round deals too, take a look at our refurbished tech collection.

Tablets

Big-screen TVs are great for movie nights, but when you want to curl up in bed or take your entertainment on the go, nothing beats a tablet. With screen sizes ranging from 7” to 12.9”, you can pick the perfect model for cosy solo viewing.

Top tablets like the iPad Pro 2022 feature Liquid Retina XDR displays, True Tone colour and backlighting systems that give you cinema-quality visuals in your hands — ideal for Halloween classics and autumn dramas.
