Customer Ratings & Reviews

Perfect size for everyday use. Obviously not for heavy editing or video. Battery life needs a boost but that’s about it.

The item is good is very usefull for me. I am very impressed that still have good quality

Loved it ! After 2-3 years it’s been holding still strong

I didn’t have the highest of expectations with it being refurbished, however when it came with huge dents and gouges out of the metal and no charger at all, I was a little annoyed. I guess thats what you get for getting refurbished but just be careful! Other than the cosmetic issues though its amazing!

I’m about to start nursing school and they had a great Black Friday deal going on with this refurbished iPad mini. Works just as great as a new one and I saved an amazing amount of money!! I would absolutely recommend!

Excellent, I would buy it again. Excellent, I would buy it again.

I bought the latest iPad Mini, and the packaging was satisfactory. However, there were too many scratches and dents on the surface, so I had to return it. These flaws significantly affected the user experience. I hope the manufacturer improves their quality control to ensure customers receive flawless products. Looking forward to a better shopping experience in the future.

in good condition a couple of minor scratches but nothing too serious

Got one today and got to say i have had ipads look brand new over 4 years and dont look like what i got. Better go with a Apple Refurbished unit. Not even sure they replaced with a new battery.

As an avid user of technology and devices, the iPad Mini 6th generation (Wifi, 64 GB) is a device to fulfill a niche from a variety of needs. As a student, this device has served as a great e-reader. Its size serves itself as convenient as it can fit in many tiny bags for ease of access. While I will try not to put any biases for or against this device, I will try to be as fair while being subject is addressing the many great features of this device while also addressing its drawbacks. I will make my ratings out of a scale of 5 Display (3.5/5): The iPad mini, with its 8.3-inch liquid retina display, is fantastic for its size. If you are looking for a tablet sized device that is not too heavy but not too small, this device will be a choice for you. My only criticism for the device is the liquid retina display. In comparison to other iPad models, as well as other devices, in pales in comparison to many devices offering OLED or AMOLED screens. The blacks of this screen are not rich, and they pop out more as a gray rather than being a true black. In all other aspects besides screen type, the iPad is competent with its 500 nits brightness, 2266x1488 resolution at 328 ppi, and its antireflective coating. One thing I will mention are that in my personal opinion, the bezels of this device are huge and I would wish that they would be shrunk in the next generation of iPad Processor/Chipset/speed (4/5): The device utilizes the A15 chip from the iPhone series. The chip is amazing at its upkeep and while I do not notice lag, processing speed is slow in comparison to other devices that I have used. I understand that the iPad mini is not supposed to be Apple's top tier line, but considering it is a line of its own and for the price point, I would hope that the iPad mini would have improved speeds. For many apps, the apps work great. For some apps, I notice that certain apps would crash for heavy processing in comparison to my iPhone processing. Storage (2/5): The iPad mini lacks strength with its offline storage. There is little freedom to pick and choose for the iPad models as, in my opinion, Apple offers two options for storage and there is no in between. The iPad mini with lower storage only offers 64 GB in storage versus other identical models offering 256 GB but at a higher price point. While iCloud storage is a solution to this, it is unfortunate that the price gap is big. Camera: (3.5/5) The iPad mini utilizes a 12 MP wide camera with a f/1.8 aperture. The camera is decent for basic tasks and in my general opinion, it is to the same level as other competitors in its price point from my opinions of the naked eye. I ranked the score a 3.5/5 because of the front camera which is excellent for use with FaceTime, especially since center stage (the automation of the front camera to pan to your face if you are within general range) is offered. Software (4/5) The iPad mini has excellent software. iPadOS on a tablet this size is excellent for multitasking. While other devices may offer much better multitasking software, due to this device's size and chip constraints, I believe that iPad OS has maximized its potential to its best ability. This device is excellent for note takers who would like presentation slides on one side and would like to take notes on another. Speakers: (4) Speakers sound as good as other speakers, I do not think they are the best speakers in the world, but the loudness and quality do not interfere with one another. As someone who personally enjoys playing music loud, quality does not shrink if you raise the volume to max. I think the speakers are a very balanced piece of hardware on this device. Security (4/5): Touch ID serves the main lock and unlock of security on this device. My only critique is that I was not used to using my fingers on the lock button to unlock the device. This was more of a personal issue on my end and have so far gotten used to it. But it does its purpose, I'm just picky for the convenience factors! Battery (5/5): Battery on this device is amazing! I applaud apple for making such efficient chipset. I know I critiqued the chip for speed earlier, but the iPad mini is not a device prone to heating and it does its job to effectively manage tasks as to be smart about power and battery consumption. I am able to use this device throughout the day with no issues.

My kids love them I seer them up parental control and locked down tight iCloud set up link to met account battery life great great size for kids a lot of storage

I love keeping my mini with me at all times. Every purse I get I make sure it fits. I use it for canva to make stuff on the go and the mini is so perfectly sized. My Apple Pencil attached right to it and it works like a charm. This is by far one of the best purchases I have made for any electronic device.

**Design and Portability (5/5):** The iPad Mini 6 impresses with its compact design and lightweight build. It's perfect for on-the-go use, and the sleek design adds a touch of elegance. **Display (5/5):** The 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display is stunning, offering vibrant colors and crisp details. True Tone reduces eye strain, enhancing the viewing experience. **Performance (5/5):** Powered by the A15 Bionic chip, this tablet handles everything smoothly, from apps to games and professional tasks. It's a powerful device despite its size. **Battery Life (5/5):** The iPad Mini 6 boasts impressive battery life, easily lasting a full day of use, no matter what you're doing. **Cameras and Security (4/5):** The cameras deliver good-quality photos and videos, though not on par with the latest iPhones. Correction: The iPad Mini 6 features Fingerprint ID for quick and secure access. **Software (5/5):** Running on iPadOS, it offers full Apple software compatibility and regular updates. **Conclusion:** The iPad Mini 6 balances power and portability flawlessly. Whether you're a student, professional, or seeking a versatile and compact device, it's an excellent choice that comes close to replacing a laptop. Highly recommended!

I bought this refurbished iPad mini and it turned out really good. It works fast, the battery lasts well, and I haven’t had any issues. It arrived clean, like new, and all the apps run smoothly. For the price, it’s worth it. I recommend it.

I was a little hesitant to buy refurbished, but this Geek Squad Certified iPad mini looks and works like brand new. The Starlight color is beautiful, and performance is smooth for browsing, streaming, and apps. Battery life is excellent, and 64GB is plenty for everyday use. Great deal compared to buying new.

It says Space Gray on the site when I ordered this but they gave me Starlight White. It's 64GB alright but I was hoping to get the right color. Other than that, iPad mini 6th Gen is still a great buy for a simple and small-sized iPad to bring around for note-taking, book reading and content consuming. Still can't go wrong with this in 2023.

iPad Mini? Fantastic! How did Best Buy handle and package it? That was not great this time. This was a gift. It arrived in hastily wrapped bubble paper that was coming off. The evil part was they stuck a refurb sticker directly on the back of the iPad, and I had to use quite a bit of Goo Gone and Windex to get the sticker off! I was always desperate not to damage the back and ruin or diminish my daughter's delight in the gift. What were they thinking?!?! This was no Post-it note. It was hard glued to the back. All is well that ends well, and it's working wonderfully for her. She's pleased with it.

this iPad is just the right size for all my needs and easy to use while traveling

The iPad mini is the perfect size. The other iPads are to large and with protective case can be heavy. The iPad mini is easy to carry around and even with a protective case not heavy at all. I love this iPad mini!

This is probably the best flawless design by apple for iPad mini. The display is very distinct and in depth throughout. Works best for notes with Apple Pencil. And so easy to make notes quickly with voice commands. Connectivity is great with bluetooth , not just with air pods and can be switched easily with siri. Battery life lasts with my every day use almost 3 days. I have i pad too but this one packs everything i pad can, and just enough compact , it doesn’t give a small screen vibe like previous models. I guess its the new display and other ways to navigate( voice, pencil)
