Where to buy the iPad mini 6th gen?
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 buy the 5G iPad mini 6 from Apple can get a $200 pre-paid Mastercard when activating with T-Mobile/Sprint or a $200 e-gift card when activating with Verizon.

iPad mini refurbished deals
The deals you will see above are generally from Apple resellers rather than Apple itself – Apple 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 UK watch this page and the US 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 US and BackMarket UK, which sells 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 Air offers:
