Got this iPad mini (6th gen) with cellular for work for $258 in “Fair” condition. Pleasantly surprised it got here today with a few minor scratches on the sides of the screen that aren’t noticeable unless you’re looking for them and everything seems to be working well. Easily could’ve spent 500+ if it was new so no complaints here.

The whole experience was great; the item was lovingly packed, maybe too well packed ;) I wish that there was a way to save our favorite sellers, maybe have their products highlighted during the selection process.

The device arrived at my daughter's house in a timely manner. I live in Mexico and she agreed to accept the iPad mini until I can get there to take it. At my request, she opened it. She said it looked like it was in excellent condition even though your description described it as fair. The battery was charged to 90%. I'll be so thrilled to have the iPad mini when my daughter and I travel to Rome in a couple of weeks. Thank you!

My latest purchase from Back Market reconfirms my belief this is the best way to buy apple products! This iPad mini was in visually perfect condition, functions as expected, and got to me quickly. This is my 3rd iPad and I've also purchased 4 iPhones from Back Market. I'm very happy and will continue to recommend Back Market to my friends for their electronics.

The iPad is great. I did get the incorrect color. I got starlight instead of space grey to match all my other Apple products. Other than that, it matched the description perfectly. Set up was easy and fast.

Is the base iPad still worth buying, or should you grab a refurbished iPad Pro instead?

Why buy a refurbished iPad Mini?

A refurbished iPad Mini on Back Market isn't just cleaned up and repackaged. Every device is professionally inspected by certified technicians who test performance, battery health, screen quality, and hardware functionality before it goes on sale. Based on the results, each device is assigned a condition grade: Good (shows signs of use but works perfectly), Excellent (light wear, great overall condition), or Premium (closest to new). Every seller on Back Market goes through a strict vetting process before they can list devices. That combination of rigorous testing and seller accountability is what makes buying a refurbished iPad Mini here different from picking up a random used one online.

How much does a refurbished iPad Mini cost?

A refurbished iPad Mini on Back Market starts from $148 for the iPad Mini 5 (2019), making it the most budget-friendly entry point. The iPad Mini 6 (2021) starts from $285 in Good condition, a significant drop from its original $499 retail price. If you want the latest generation, a refurbished iPad Mini 7 (2024) starts from $400, compared to $499 new from Apple.

The final price also depends on condition grade: a Good device costs less but may show visible signs of use, while an Excellent or Premium device arrives in better cosmetic shape. Use the filters above to browse by model, grade, and budget.

Which refurbished iPad Mini model should you choose?

Not all iPad Minis are equal. The right generation depends on how you plan to use it and what you're comfortable spending.

iPad Mini 7 (2024): latest generation

The iPad Mini 7 runs on Apple's A17 Pro chip, the same processor found in the iPhone 15 Pro lineup. The 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display carries over from the Mini 6, but processing speed and camera quality take a meaningful step forward. If you want current specs and plan to hold onto the device for several years, the Mini 7 is the one to choose. Expect to pay more than for the Mini 6 on Back Market.

iPad Mini 6 (2021): best value pick

The iPad Mini 6 was a genuine step change for the Mini line, bringing USB-C, a larger 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display (up from the old 7.9-inch LCD), and the A15 Bionic chip. Its refurbished price is significantly lower than the Mini 7, making it the best balance of modern specs and value. Both Wi-Fi-only and Wi-Fi + Cellular variants are available on Back Market. For students, commuters, and everyday users who want a capable compact tablet without the premium price tag, this is the sweet spot.

iPad Mini 5 (2019): most affordable option

The iPad Mini 5 is older, but that doesn't make it redundant. The A12 Bionic chip handles reading, video, messaging, and light browsing without any issues. It's the right choice if price is your main priority, or if you're buying a secondary device or something for a child. It offers the lowest entry price of any iPad Mini generation currently available on Back Market.

Refurbished iPad Mini vs. new: is it worth it?

Buying refurbished typically saves you 30 to 70% off the original retail price, depending on the model and condition grade. That's a real saving, not a marginal difference.

There's also an environmental side worth knowing. Choosing a refurbished tablet over a new one avoids an estimated 88% of the greenhouse gas emissions generated during new device manufacturing. One purchase, measurably less impact.

The "refurbished" label on Back Market doesn't mean second-rate. It means tested, graded, and certified by professionals, with every device meeting the standard for its condition grade before it ships. If you're open to a bigger screen or more processing power, our refurbished iPad page is worth a look too.

Explore other refurbished Apple iPads

Not sure the iPad Mini is the right fit? Back Market covers the full Apple iPad family. For a larger, lighter option with a premium feel, our refurbished iPad Air selection covers the Air 4 through to the latest M-series models. And if you need maximum performance, refurbished iPad Pro models are available from the M1 chip onwards.
