    This came in a new box with the charger and was very clean. Save a few bucks and get a geek squad certified refurbished item. Its performance has been great and apples parental settings are very easy and effective. I can make sure my child can not just download anything she wants. Face id is required by me for any downloads or purchases made by my child.

    I traded in my iPad Air for this because I haven’t used my air in a long time. I’ve used the mini every single day since I’ve gotten it. It’s so much more convenient to use!! The process of trading in through Best Buy was super easy and I’m pleased with the quality of the refurbished mini!

    very capable tablet, however due to apple's tactics, it is now completely and utterly overshadowed by the new model. The lower ram, storage, and inability to use AI, would make you think that this tablet should be much much cheaper than the newly released replacement, but it isn't so. I would definitely buy the new model unless the mini 6 is on an insane deal.

    Excellent performance, though as I hones get bigger, the use of a device this size has diminished quite a bit. We bought for our elementary school aged children, but ended up moving to the 10th gen iPad for a larger screen.

    Problems with refurbished iPad Mini.

    Refurbished mini shows plenty of abuse in the form of dirty marks and scratches on the bank. But the scratches don't bother me. The reason I'm going to return it and exchange for a new one is that periodically the screen freezes when I try to change my child's Screen Time. I'm forced to reboot 3 or 4 times for the Screen Time to work. At first I thought this would go away after the first few incidents. But now a month after the purchase it continues to recur. Lessons learned - no more refurbished iPads!

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Awesome tablet! It is just the right size for me! I bought it refurbished, so it doesn’t hold its charge for as long as it could. However, it’s enough to get me through my day!

    Best Buy should remove the inventory sticker first

    Does what it said it would do. The inventory sticker on the back was a pain to remove (needed gentle, repeated soaking and scraping).
