    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.

    Excellent ipad. Purchased refurbished... running strong. This is the ipad I use as a workhorse - reading - meetings - notes - journaling... paired with the apple pencil it has replaced all my books... even my TBR...

    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!

    Works pretty good for being a refurbished Ipad. Only thing was that when it gets to about 45% and I charge it and try to watch something it goes into overheating or something like that.

    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!

    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.

    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).

    Do not buy Geek Squad Refurbished Products…

    …unless you have the items shipped to a store and you open them in front of an employee. I ordered two of these iPads. One came with an Insignia USB-C cable and an Apple USB-C power adapter. The other came with an Insignia USB-C to Lightning cable and no power adapter. I contacted customer support. They told me to go to a store. I went to a store (expecting to have the problem resolved) and they tried to sell me the correct accessories. A manager got involved said this was “a warehouse issue” that Geek Squad “just throws-in whatever is available” that they “dont give out free cables” and that I could return the product(s). The refurbished product’s page states what is included. Best Buy does not want to ship/give me those items. They wanted over $30.00 for them. I’m buying the accessories from Anker on Amazon (and never shopping Best Buy again.)
