used ipad mini 4 128gb silver cellular
You can buy a used Apple iPad either from an individual seller or a professional refurbisher. For better reliability and peace of mind, buying a professionally refurbished iPad is often recommended because these devices undergo extensive testing and come with warranties.
Where to buy used iPads
Refurbished iPads
-
Apple Certified Refurbished Store: The most secure option, as Apple thoroughly tests and replaces parts like the battery and outer shell, so they look brand new. They also come with a one-year warranty.
- Back Market: A marketplace for refurbished devices that grades products based on their cosmetic condition ("Premium," "Excellent," "Good," and "Fair").
- Best Buy: Offers Geek Squad Certified Refurbished iPads, which have been tested to work like new and are often available at a significant discount.
- Walmart: Carries "Restored" or refurbished iPads that have been tested and verified to be functional.
What to consider when buying a used iPad
- Refurbished vs. used: A refurbished iPad has been repaired and certified by a professional, while a used iPad is sold as-is by the previous owner. Refurbished models are more reliable, but often more expensive than a used device from a private seller.
- Source: Buy from reputable sellers who offer a warranty and have a return policy. When buying from an individual, it's crucial to inspect the device thoroughly.
- Age and software support: Apple typically provides software updates for iPads for about five years, though it can be longer. Look up the model online to confirm it is still supported by the latest iOS.
- Condition: Always ask for photos or inspect the device in person before buying. Check for cracks, dents, and scuffs, and make sure all buttons, cameras, and ports are functional.
- Battery health: For iPads running the latest software, you can check the battery health percentage under Settings > Battery. Apple suggests replacing the battery when its capacity drops below 80%.
- Activation Lock: Ensure the previous owner has removed their iCloud account and that the iPad has been properly wiped and is ready for a new user. The device should start on the "Hello" screen when you first turn it on.
- Proof of ownership: When buying from an individual, ask for the original purchase receipt to ensure they are the legitimate owner.
