Apple Now Selling Refurbished iPad Mini 6 and M1 iPad Pro Models

[MacRumors]

Apple today added refurbished iPad mini 6 and 2021 iPad Pro models to its online refurbished store, offering the tablets at a discounted price for the first time.

Pricing on the iPad mini 6 starts at $419 for the 64GB model, an $80 discount off of the original $499 starting price tag. Apple is offering multiple color options, with a 256GB model also available for $549, a $100 discount.

The iPad mini 6 initially came out in September 2021, and it features an edge-to-edge display and iPad Air-like design with Touch ID power button. It measures in at 7.9 inches and is Apple's smallest tablet option.

Pricing on the refurbished third-generation 11-inch iPad Pro starts at $639 for 128GB of storage, while pricing on the fifth-generation 12.9-inch iPad Pro starts at $889, also for 128GB of storage. Space Gray and Silver color options are available, and there are higher storage tiers and cellular iPad Pro models at discounted prices as well.

The 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models that Apple added to the refurbished store today were initially introduced in 2021 and they feature prior-generation M1 chips. Apple in October 2022 refreshed the iPad Pro lineup, introducing M2 chips.

Supplies of the refurbished iPad models will shift over time as Apple adds new devices and as devices sell out, so those wanting a specific configuration or color may want to check back often.

Refurbished products from Apple are almost identical to new products, and are subject to a refurbishment process that includes full functionality testing. Refurbished products are eligible for AppleCare+ and have the same 14-day return period as new Apple devices.

(Thanks, Dave!)

You’re welcome! 👍

Tempting. I really want a mini with a pro motion level display though.

 

[HappyDude20]

Wait, so you're saying a Mini led Ipad Pro 12.9 inch can be had for $889 refurb? If so I may jump on that.

If anyone considering a refurbished iPad mini 6, but worried about Jelly Scroll,
It's not real. I never notice it even in slow motion...

I daily drive it and scroll quite a bit in both orientations.

 

[HobeSoundDarryl]

Jelly Scroll is real but good that you don't notice it. I do... but don't care that I do. The many benefits outweigh the few shortcomings.

Mini 6 is my most-used Apple device and I'm about Apple everything. Mine even stands in as my phone too (voip app + buds on a cellular model)... just like the Mini 2 did before it. By the time Apple obsoletes it with OS updates, I'll likely jump right on Mini 9 or 10 for my next one.

 

[SevLucas]

New, non refurb base mini models are going for $399 on Amazon/Best Buy fyi.

 

[klasma]

Not as good as the TigerDirect deals.

 

[aneftp]

Not that good of a deal for 11 inch iPad m1

They were on sale $550 at target over the holidays a couple of times.

I got m2 iPad at military store sale in December for $599 as well.

 

[szw-mapple fan]

I hope the next gen mini will have a silver option.

You are completely correct.

I wish the MR crew would censor jelly scroll out of these forums. It's annoying seeing the FUD.

Crappy deal. I got my 256GB mini 6 at Best Buy a few weeks ago for $549.99 brand new.

Ok, but that was a few weeks ago. This is the deal as of now.

Stop being so negative just because it's not to your standards. Jeez.

I got a Mini (64GB no cellular) for ONE reason; not usability, not for hype, but to start my transition to all USB C and also for the iPadOS files function. Period. A few dongles with SD card and HDMI and ethernet connections that can migrate to an M2 Mac mini so at some point can integrate ADP. The mini is pretty good with decent audio/speakers for travel. Way better than iPhone. But for me its advanced FILES functionality is key - truly groundbreaking power that lets me use I/O that works with MB Air and the pad. It's transitional and transformational.

Folks, any recommendations on refurbished Ipad Pro 11"s that are on sale now?

Edit : placed an order for iPad Pro 2021 128GB refurbished

 

[minik]

I have the A12Z 12.9" iPad Pro since launch day, it's great aside the battery seems to be shortened these days. However I happened to pick up a M1 11" iPad Pro from work recently. The performance is much better than the A12Z, it could be a fresh install of iPad OS 16.3. The M1 iPad Pro is really really good, can't imagine jumping to the current M2 models.

 

[Gengar]

The iPad mini is literally always on sale for $399.99 brand new. I know for certain it is at Target.

I lived ( not just “remembered”) when all this stuff just worked. Zip, 140 Disk, you stuck your level of RAM in. Now the floppy IS mounted 👍🏽 and I COULD “initialize” it. Better than nothing. But it is aaft all, Appleworks. That’s the Apple i loved and brought ne here.

I lived (not just remembered) when this stuff all ”just worked” Zip, 140K floppy, add your own RAM. Miracle is this external USB floppy drive reads on my MB Air. Only (ONLY) issue is the files are like, 1996 Appleworks WP docs. MB Air M1, cheap-o-hub, La Cie external floppy drive b

To be fair the base iPad mini has been $399 fairly regularly at Amazon and Best Buy.

Including right at this moment (10:30pm EST 2/9) at Best Buy

 

[aPple nErd]

Once again garbage out of touch pricing. The mini is frequently on sale for $399. Ridiculous Apple, there’s no incentive.

 

[JosephAW]

Now just offer them at the tiger direct price and you'll never have any inventory collecting dust.

 

[svish]

Not great pricing on iPad Pros. Similar prices can be had on new ones during sale.

 

[Johnny Appleseed's Mom]

yall really just gave everybody this man's email lmao

 

[klky]

While I'm happy with my 2018 11" iPad Pro, the size of the mini still intrigues me. Might be tempted if Apple ever fix the scaling.
