TL;DR: Buy used and save on a refurbished iPad mini 4 with an accessories bundle for just $284.99 — a 42% savings — as of Oct. 11.
Everyone wants the latest and greatest Apple devices the second they come out. But unfortunately, most of us are not made of money and can’t just swap out our barely-used MacBook for the newest model on the shelves every few months. (Seriously, Apple needs to cool it on the new releases).
Not only do the new Apple gadgets carry ridiculously high price tags, but they also rarely (if ever) go on sale. Your best bet for saving some bucks is buying stuff that’s been refurbished. These devices are inspected, tested, and certified to work just like brand new ones — they just happen to be pre-loved. And you’re in luck, because for a limited time, this refurbished iPad mini 4 is on sale for under $300 — case, screen protector, and all.
Hailing from 2019, this iPad mini 4 is just two generations old, so it’s fully capable of handling all the latest apps, software, and more. It’s equipped with an Apple A8 chip and pre-installed with iOS 9, so you can seamlessly work, play, and browse on the go. It’ll last you up to 10 hours on a single charge, making it the perfect gadget for streaming Netflix on a plane, keeping kiddos busy during important meetings, or catching up on all of your emails in between errands.
With a 7.9-inch display, you can enjoy your videos, apps, photos, etc. in bigger and brighter quality than your phone. Want to snap photos in between emails? No need to pull out your phone. The iPad mini 4 features an 8MP iSight camera and 64GB of space to save your shots. There’s also a 1.2MP FaceTime HD camera for taking important calls or catching up with friends and family from wherever. You can even transfer data to and from compatible devices in a snap, thanks to Bluetooth 4.2 or the standard 802.11a/b/g/n AirPort.
It may not be brand-new, but this iPad will certainly get the job done. You may find a few bumps and scratches on the exterior, but it’ll work like you just took it off the shelf at Apple. Regularly $499, you can swipe this refurbished iPad mini 4 on sale for only $284.99 for a limited time.
