Whats Included
- Apple Geek Squad Certified Refurbished iPad mini with Wi-Fi - 64GB
- USB-C charge cable
- 20W USB-C power adapter
Q: Will it come with the correct charger?
A: My refurbished mini ipad did include the correct charger. Not an original Apple but it works perfectly and has an extra long cord. Which might be helpful to some.
A: Like new, just came with the wrong charger cable
Q: Will my iPad charger work to charge it?
A: No, Apple updated the charging port to USB-C
A: 2021
Q: Is this model compatible with Apple AI?
A: undefined
Q: Does the Geeksquad refurbishment include a new battery?
A: That, Detective, is the right question. It would be nice if Best Buy would qualify this. However, my guess is that most likely they will only replace the battery if it is swelling or has other damage, OR if the Apple "Battery Health" falls below a certain unknown threshold. The reason for this: Replacing the battery unnecessarily would undoubtedly raise the price much higher than this selling price, as the battery alone costs Best Buy between $70-$100 from Apple. Most Apple users consider anything below 80% Battery Health to be on its way out, as the capacity begins to fall off quickly past this margin. I would return it if the battery health shows below this, or close to it.
Q: Does this new iPad mini have the magnetic spot on the side to charge apple pencil?
A: Yes, but it only holds the Apple Pencil 2nd Generation properly. The Apple Pencil USB-C and Apple Pencil Pro will not align with the magnets properly, nor will it recognize these newest Pencils to allow pairing.
A: The first one.

Low-Key, Portable iPad.
For the past two years I've used an iPad Pro 13.9", and also an iPad 10". Now having bought and used the iPad mini 6, I'm getting rid of the other iPads. The Mini is so portable, I find I'm taking it everywhere with me. In the past I'd be reticent about pulling out my gigantic 13.9" in public as it draws attention; not so with the Mini. It's diminutive but I find I can do everything I need to do on it, and it's super low key. It also uses my Apple Pencil. I got a fantastic case for it as well.

Great Buy!
Got my Geek squad certified refurbished iPad mini 6 in great condition! There was some sticky stuff on the back but other than that it came looking almost new with no dents or scratches at the back and none on the screen. It started up fine and I have been using it for 4hrs and more daily for 11 days since purchase with zero issues! Bestbuy even provided me with an Apple 70W charging brick and a new Bestbuy USB-C cable. Definitely worth it and glad I took the leap!!
