Best iPad mini deals this month --[Reported by Umva mag]

Macworld Apple has finally updated the iPad mini! The new iPad mini launched on October 15, 2024, three years after the previous generation arrived. The new model is ready for Apple Intelligence (coming with iPadOS 18), comes in a new selection of colors, and works with the Apple Pencil Pro. Best of all, Apple has upped the storage, so you now get twice as much for your money. This means the new model offers much better value for money, with 128GB for $499/£499 rather than 64GB for the same price. Read about the iPad mini with A17 Pro.

Where to buy the iPad mini?

You can buy one from Apple and a number of other retailers (either outright or with a network provider), details of which you will find below.

For a while part of the problem with buying an iPad mini right now wasn’t just finding a good deal; it was actually finding the model you want in stock, although stock does seem to be at more reliable levels now!

If you don’t want to buy the iPad mini from Apple, you may be able to pick it up from the following retailers or on contract from various network providers:

US retailers:

US contract deals:

We’ve heard that US customers who bought the 5G iPad mini 6 from Apple could get a $200 pre-paid Mastercard when activating with T-Mobile/Sprint or a $200 e-gift card when activating with Verizon. Currently, we can only see 3% Daily Cash if you use an Apple Card to purchase an iPad mini (A17 Pro).

UK retailers:

Apple has a number of Apple Premium Resellers who stock iPads in the UK, and also offer other services. Try the following:

iPad mini refurbished deals

The deals you will see above are generally from Apple resellers rather than Apple itself; the company rarely reduces prices. Apple does, however, sell reconditioned iPads in its refurbished store. So you can grab a bargain.

The iPads in Apple’s refurbished store may be ex-display stock, or they may have been returned to Apple due to a fault, but they are fully reconditioned now and come with a full year’s warranty. It’s not like buying secondhand. In the U.K. watch this page and the U.S. Refurb Store page is here.

The U.S. refurbished store has a selection that includes:

Standard iPad (8th and 9th generation)
iPad Air (4th generation)
11-inch iPad Pro (2nd and 3rd generation)
12.9-inch iPad Pro (4th and 5th generation)
iPad mini (5th and 6th generation)

Compared to the original price, you can save as much as $320 on a 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

In the U.K. you’ll find a similar selection of iPads available from Apple’s refurbished store. You’ll find the following:

Standard iPad (9th generation)
iPad Air (4th generation)
11-inch iPad Pro (2nd and 3rd generation)
12.9-inch iPad Pro (5th generation)
iPad mini (5th and 6th generation)

There are savings of £480 on a 12.9-inch iPad Pro, compared to the original price.

Another place to look is BackMarket U.S. and BackMarket U.K., which sell refurbished Macs and other Apple products. Amazon also has a certified refurbished store for Apple products, but we would advise against buying any products that are older than five years. Most of the products we see on the Amazon refurbished store are unfortunately very old.

There is a large refurbished market for the iPad Air. We’d recommend taking a look at these refurbished resellers for iPad mini offers:
