Apple 2021 iPad Mini 6 (Wi-Fi, 64GB) - Pink (Renewed)

As much as I hate to say it, Apple pretty much knocked it out the park with this generation of iPad Mini. A little background: I have used iPhones since the iPhone 3g (with a brief departure in 2020-2022). I have owned a couple of iPads and iPad Minis, a Samsung Galaxy Tab and several iterations of the Kindle Fire tablets. I am by no means an Apple fanboy, and prefer the Windows ecosystem to Mac. Having said all of that, I cannot help but give this tablet a glowing review.Lets start with quality: Apple's retooling of the case with this generation was perfection. By eliminating the sloped back around the edges, it made this device more comfortable to hold. Thickness-wise it is comparable to a Fire 7 of the same era, however the flat rather than rounded edges and the extra heft of the metal body make this iPad feel much more substantial.The retina display provides a crisp and clear picture no matter what applications you are putting it to. The color depth is great and the contrast is incredible, though I would have liked it to have a little more truer depth in the black end of the spectrum. The screen is the current generation of high quality glass at time of manufacture and the durability of the screen is great. I have had mine take a tumble a few times and exit these events unscathed, despite not having a case or screen protector on the iPad Mini.However, it is the performance that really impresses. Keeping complete control of the product line has allowed Apple to engineer a device with the speed needed for higher end uses, very few crashes/freezes, and a software front end that gives the easiest user experience out there. It is definitely snappier than many other budget tablets on the market.Interestingly, the iPad Mini's place in the Apple ecosystem is an odd one. As powerful as a full-size iPad/iPad Air, but the Mini costs ... more? One would think that as a "smaller" product it would cost less (less materials), but economies of scale push the price of the Mini above that of the regular iPad or iPad Air. It is a great little device, and depending on what you plan to do with it, I think it is worth it.

I received my iPad just one day after ordering—super fast delivery! The packaging seems to have improved recently; it came in a smaller box with cushioning that protected the iPad well.To my surprise, it even came with a screen protector already applied (very thoughtful!). Though I personally prefer paperlike screen protectors, so I removed the one they provided. As for the condition, the iPad looks great overall—only a few tiny scratches around the corners and the charging port, which is totally acceptable at this price.Once powered on, I checked the serial number—everything checked out! It synced smoothly with my Mac, and I was able to use Continuity features right away. Video quality is sharp, sound is clear—really satisfying.I even felt confident enough to remove the sticker on the back right away, and a few hours later, I applied my own screen protector and case. The experience has been excellent so far. I also own an iPad Air 5, so I included comparison photos to show the size difference.Overall, I’m very satisfied—great value, solid condition, and thoughtful touches like the screen protector and included charger (even though I won’t use it). Highly recommend this seller! Also, as someone who’s studied statistics, I chose this after seeing the large number of positive reviews—trust me, the data speaks for itself!

I use an iPad mini to serve a single purpose- playing the BBC Sounds app to stream BBC Radio 4 into my home audio distribution system that pipes audio into several rooms. The iPad mini 4 that I was using had stopped receiving iOS updates some time ago and finally, last week, the BBC Sounds app refused to work anymore on the old iOS version. I got years of use out of it, so I knew the end was coming. I thought this was the perfect use-case for a one generation behind, refurbished iPad to act as a replacement. I took a chance on this listing and was not disappointed. Yes, the packaging was a bit slap-dash and I suppose it could have arrived damaged because of that, but it didn't. Yes, the charger included is cheap and I wouldn't trust it being connected 24/7 in my house, so I tossed into a box of similar ones that will go to the e-waste recycling eventually. However, I wasn't really expecting any charger to be included. I suppose it comes in handy when an iPad arrives somewhere without one already on-hand, so the seller feels obligated to include some sort of charger. All I wanted was a working, slightly behind the current release iPad mini and I am completely satisfied with the one I received. With an Amazon listing, I knew if I had any trouble, I could return it and try again. You have to be cautious with used iOS devices because they are worthless if the previous owner did not release it from their iCloud account. I've stopped buying them from auction sites for that reason. If you need an iPad mini but don't want to pay Apple full price for a new one, this is an excellent option that I would certainly recommend!

Product looks brand new and has no markings on it, turned on right away and looks like it works great. My only complaint is that it came loose in a box in bubble wrap, where as I thought it would be in a smaller compact box, I figured it probably wouldn’t come in an apple box (it’s a gift) so I was hoping it’d be in a better box for gifting. But the actual product looks in excellent condition.

Overall the device seems to be working well.Pros:+ Screen is scratch free.+ Cleaned well+ Body is mostly scratch freeCons+ There are two dents on the tap and a few dings on the edges. which indicate that the device was dropped. It was marked excellent condition in the description, so I was expecting no dents or scratches+ The device was packaged in a bubble wrap and dropped loosely in a box so that it was moving around during shoppingOverall, happy so far.
