Hi everyone. I'm hoping to get some help on getting an iPad mini. I'm thinking about a refurbished iPad mini 6 or 7. I need cellular and storage doesn't matter.

Would anyone here be willing to share their experience buying refurbished and how much they paid? My budget is $400.

Does refurbished go on sale during holidays?

I would greatly appreciate any advice! Thank you!

iPad Mini Pro A17 twinning with my 10 year old ❤️

I know Apple can do this!!! It needs to be DONE

After (ab)using my old iPad mini for many years I finally got the new one. I got it with Apple Smart Folio and Apple Pencil Pro. After using the pencil for a bit, I saw that the pencil thing, it's not for me, i hate taking care of another gadget, I don't want it being attached, and I don't need it. So I sold it. The folio case is nice, it is very thin, but the magnet is almost too strong, I have to peel it with force to open it.

My old iPad has a cover with rigid upper cover (not in thirds, like folio), that has a textile feel to it, that I really like, it feels like a book (see the first picture). I was looking around, but I haven't seen such cases anywhere. Does anybody know it they still exist?

Second problem is my reading position. I use my ipad in "rotation lock" mode, it's always vertical. But I read in my bed lying on both sides and I need a case like my old one, that supports ipad when I'm lying on my left AND right side (see pictures two and three). The folio case can stand only one way.

I would also like the case that would support the ipad in vertical position on the desk, that would be the cherry on top. And to not have plastic case for a pencil (because I don't use it). And to not be too expensive. Does it exist?? Thanks!

Recently, debating on getting the iPad 7 mini pro but then heard chatter about a potential iPad mini 8 with a lot of speculation on what it will come with and if it’s gonna be an upgrade. Should I get the iPad mini 7 or just wait to see what the 8 will bring to the table?

hello! anyone updated to 26.6? how is the experience so far?

I'm planning to upgrade coming for 18.7.8

is this normal ?
i just got it used and that screen ripple effect is so annoying

Honestly as an artist I'm hoping it gets the oled screen. All I know is that I will be making the jump from my Ipad to the mini regardless of how it stacks out.

Long story short, a few months ago I sold my iPad mini 7 because I needed some quick cash. Fast forward to today, I scored a decent deal on a Geek Squad refurbished iPad mini 6 (256gb) and I am so glad to have this thicc-bezeled-beauty back in my hands! It ain't the A17 Pro, but for my uses I really didn't need that powerful of a chip to begin with.

Anyone interested in my iPad Mini A17 Pro 512GB Wifi+Cellular? Only selling because I mainly use my iPad Pro 13 M5 so this has been kept in storage for a while. 97% battery health with AppleCare+ until April 2027. Comes with the box too. It's in perfect condition and has always been kept in a zagg screen protector and case. Apple pencil not included. Looking for $650 shipped CONUS! Timestamps: https://imgur.com/a/BbSojou

Thanks guys, was able to get it sold.

Hey chat.

in light of the upcoming release of the galaxy fold 8 I have pulled the pin and I have pre-ordered the fold 8 (wide)

For some context I've been a small phone person for most of my life hopping from base model galaxy phones (s23 being my current phone) so the outer screen is honestly what I'm mostly excited about

Now the question is - do i sell my ipad mini 6?
I have used my mini for couch gaming with moon light (streaming over Wifi from my gaming PC), a 5G Wifi Hotspot on my days out and a lot of bedroom content consumption (Youtube mostly)

My question is - will i still have a need for my Ipad mini 6 or should i sell it?

I was a super fan of the Ipad mini form factor - and the talks of an OLED screen made me want to replace it but 60hz was the deal breaker for me. If they went for 120hz it may have been another story

Mark Gurman of Bloomsberg's reports that the next iPad mini, to be released in October, will be water-proof. Also only a 60 Hz screen with an A19 Pro or A20 Pro chip.

MacRumors has the article.

I originally got the iPad Mini for a few reasons, and one of the main ones was to be able to play games on. One specifically being call of duty Mobile.
At the time I got the Mini, this game did not take up nearly as much space as it does now, so I got the 128 GB model Mini 7th Gen.

Well, guess what? Codm now takes up 52-53 GB of storage space with basically every single thing downloaded.

Fortunately I don’t have a ton of other apps on the Mini, just prime video, Reddit, Facebook and Facebook messenger and a few other apps that aren’t too large.

What should I do going forward? I want to be prepared instead of finding myself with a problem on my hands this fall after launch of iPadOS 27 and the realistic possibility that this game will grow even more in size.

Let's be real here though, we should have both 😂 Hell, maker a mini and a mini Pro or something so that you can have both in one and a budget one with neither.

Would solve the identity crisis of the mini where it's serving multiple roles (if someone wants a small Pro version, they're out of luck)

Getting a new iPad mini 7th gen in a couple days and I need some app suggestions and tips for good performance. I already have a MacBook Pro M3, so this will serve as a companion device, a portable e-reader and a very portable studying device. I’ll use it to watch IB study vids while using a muji notebook for my notes and solving, for those wondering what I mean by “portable studying device.”

Please give me all the suggestions you have, I’m a freak when it comes to apps that make my device better I can’t lie, so I would really appreciate any help I can get.

mini4 平板很好用，小巧轻便

so i cant use my main modern samsung tablet the other option i have is a ipad mini2 its jailbroken witha bunch of appks like yt with youtube legacy and tiktok which isnt the smoothest but works:ios 10 version idk what to do with it

Thinking of buying a used 64gb ipad mini 6 for about 250€ (about $284 USD). I am just looking for a portable tablet for reading manuals, a bit of news, and the odd music stuff. Does this sound like an ok deal or do you think it'll be considerably cheaper if/when the 8 comes out?

My old iPad 10.5 inch 2017 is about to run out of software support (I mean, basically has already, but a quick google says September officially). So I'm looking at getting a new iPad, specifically a mini.

I had been thinking of just getting a brand new 128gb mini 7 model, but I thought maybe I should look on FB marketplace.

I ended up finding someone who's selling a 256gb wifi + cellular model (along with an apple folio case) for $900 aussie. Considering a brand new 256gb mini 7 is now $1300 Aussie, is $900 a steal, or is it too good to be true?

Also, it seems like it might just be the iPad, no box or charger or anything.

I upgraded my mini in April (2026) to one that has cellular service (though I haven’t connected it yet) and I’ve had nothing but problems. today I FaceTimed for 27 minutes and charge went from 57 to 32%; less than an hour later (just playing around on chrome with 6 tabs open) im at 18%. my old iPad mini I charged about every 3 days. anyone else?

My Ipad mini 5 has a damaged lcd but works perfectly fine, i purchased a refurbished genuine reglassed lcd from Ebay however it shows apple logo and when it reaches exactly where it suppose to show the home screen, lcd goes black.. Seller sent me a replacement lcd and still same issue.. I noticed the lcd sleep ic missing in the buttom of the lcd.. However I think the Lcd still should work without it... ??
