Backmarket is genuinely so good!! My iPad came after literally a day and the condition was so perfect it seems new. The box said apple certified refurbished, and came with instructions, a cable (no adapter though) and the apple stickers. The only weird thing is it wasn’t powdered off before being sent, so the was literally playing audio inside the box before I opened it, but this honestly wasn’t a big deal because the condition was just so good. In terms of the device, I don’t know what I would do without it now and I’ve only had it for 2 weeks. I would recommend to anyone!!

I was replacing an old iPad Air 2 that i had had from longer than i can remember. Having purchased refurbished phones from my children rom Backmarket, decided to give and iPad a go. Device was described as "very good" but honestly, I can't see a single mark on the device. The set up was very easy out of the box and a big saving vs buying new from Apple. All delivered in under 24hours from placing the order!

The Ipad itself is very good quality!! I’m pretty sure it came in an apple refurbished box fully sealed as I chose the pristine condition, After a couple of weeks using it it works amazingly and 100% would recommend buying second hand!! However I’ve also brought a newer Iphone recently as well as an ipad and the trade in process is extremely interesting to say the least, the tracking never updates and the offered amount is extortionately low for what it was worth? So definitely be weary when trading in…. But despite the trade in both my ipad and phone work better than expected!!

Even though listed as in 'good' condition it was nearly immaculate! After putting an Otterbox Defender case and screen protector on there's no way you'd know that this wasn't a brand new ipad pro! Arrived very quickly, only downside was the 3rd party 10W charger and cable that came with it instead of the 20W official Apple one, so it's very slow to charge. Would certainly come back in future to by a reconditioned piece of tech saving myself money instead of buying new!

Cannot believe how fantastic this second hand iPad is! I visited the Apple Store first to check out prices and try the iPads. Upon checking Back Market, I knew that the price of the refurbished Pro was worth it if it was as good as the blurb indicated. I was hoping and praying it would be in good condition and it absolutely was. It arrived quickly and securely and is brilliant. One absolutely teeny mark on the back that you wouldn’t notice without super close inspection - but the screen and functionality is perfect. So pleased. Thank you all 😊

Benefits of buying a refurbished iPad mini


At Back Market, customers save up to 50% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished iPad mini models. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance quality in order to save money; all refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or second hand iPad mini compared to a refurbished one.

Buying a reconditioned iPad mini is also an environmentally friendly option. A refurbished iPad mini is often a second hand device that has been restored and updated to meet manufacturer standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old iPad minis out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimise your carbon footprint.

 

 

Where to find a cheap refurbished iPad mini?


If you're looking for cheaper iPad mini options and don't want to pay full price, you'll find the biggest selection, highest product quality and lowest prices on restored iPad mini models at Back Market. That's because we specialise specifically in refurbished tech and take the time to carefully vet every seller on our marketplace to ensure customers are getting reliable devices that perform like-new. We have several refurbed iPad mini in price ranges to fit almost anyone's budget.

Staying true to our brand, we're also a huge advocate for environmental change. In fact, at the beginning of 2023, we hit a milestone for preventing 1 million tons of carbon emission (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere. You can help contribute to a better circular economy when you shop iPad mini deals on our platform.

 

What to expect when buying a refurbished iPad mini?


If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your iPad mini may have external cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good and Excellent quality). However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect the performance of your iPad mini and you can expect your device to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the store.

You should also be confident that your iPad mini is backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning in the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement.

 

iPad mini warranty and return policy with Back Market


All iPad mini purchases on Back Market come with free standard shipping, a 1-year warranty, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure you can shop with confidence and find the best iPad mini for your needs at lower prices.

 

Can you use the Apple Pencil on iPad mini?

 

Only the iPad mini 5th generation (2019) will work with the Apple Pencil 1st generation, and the iPad mini 6th generation (2021) will work with the Apple Pencil 2nd generation only. Maximise your productivity and creativity with an Apple Pencil from Back Market.

What is the advantage of an iPad mini?

 

The main advantages of an iPad mini over its siblings is the handy portability to carry one wherever you go. It also packs enough processing power to meet your basic daily needs with leisure and business activities such as gaming, surfing the web, streaming, or checking emails to name a few. The iPad Air and iPad Pro come with a little extra that is arguably designed for more tedious tasks where a bigger screen is required.
