Apple Begins Selling Refurbished iPad Mini With A17 Pro Chip at a Discount
Apple today added the iPad mini with the A17 Pro chip to its refurbished store https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/ipad/ipad-mini">in the U.S. and https://www.apple.com/ca/shop/refurbished/ipad/ipad-mini">Canada for the first time since the device was released in October 2024.
Other key features include an 8.3-inch display, a 12-megapixel Center Stage camera, and a Touch ID power button.
There is no availability in any other countries yet.https://images.macrumors.com/article-new/2026/07/iPad-mini-7-Review-Thumb-1-sans-text.jpg" width="2500" />
In the U.S., refurbished pricing starts at $509 for a Wi-Fi model with 128GB of storage, down from $599 for the equivalent brand-new model.
However, keep in mind that a new iPad mini started at $499 until https://www.macrumors.com/2026/06/25/apple-explains-why-it-raised-prices/">Apple raised prices last month, so unfortunately the refurbished model costs $10 more than a new model did just a few weeks ago.
Apple says the refurbished iPad mini models include a new battery and outer shell, a plain new box, and all accessories, including a 20W USB-C power adapter and a USB-C charging cable.
Apple says it puts refurbished devices through a "thorough cleaning process and inspection," which typically results in a like-new condition.
All refurbished iPads are covered by Apple's one-year warranty.
AppleCare+ is available.
Apple reportedly plans to release https://www.macrumors.com/2026/07/16/oled-ipad-mini-by-october-report/">a new iPad mini with an OLED display and several other upgrades by October, but rumored timeframes can shift.
