Apple iPad Mini 2 (Retina Display) $319 Delivered @ Apple Store Refurbished

170

Went to check the specs of the new iPad mini 3 and notice the price tag of $499 for 16gb wifi, so i check the refurbished and the iPad mini with retina 16gb was $319 which is the cheapest by far that i could find.

Enjoy

    I'd rather buy a New iPad mini 2 for $50 more, can lick it like candy !

    Patience my friend.

    A iPad Mini 2 new is now 370, and there is a good chance that other stores will be clearing stock in the near future.

    The refurb shop and price should be there for a while yet.

    • Why would they clear a product that isn't being discontinued.

  • Certainly more attractive after seeing the specs of the new mini

    • How does the new mini compare? I was considering buying my 6yo a mini (first one) after she decided to save up for a tablet but we went with cheap 2013 N7 after seeing that the mini1 was relatively old tech.

      • It's essentially exactly the same as a Mini 2, but with the fingerprint scanner.

        The iPad mini 3 is literally Malibu Stacey With a New Hat compared to the iPad mini 2

          yeah, but she has a New Hat!

        • True Dat.

          Buy the mini 2 if u want a mini 3.

        • Next year we'll get front facing speakers

          @Ronnnie:

          I doubt it.

    I wouldn't recommend this. I sold mine because I couldn't keep more than 3 tabs open in Safari. The lack of RAM really shows on this tablet and the iPad Air 1

    • +3

      Yup its true the Safari Crash issue started after iOS7, the bottleneck being the 1GB RAM @ 2048x1536 res.

      • +1

        Wouldn't that be a problem on the iPad Air too since it has 1GB RAM too?

        • edit: its the same CPU, just going by what people think the issue is…
          However, I don't know if iOS8 has changed anything, can't see people with iOS8 complaining…

        • @buzzlight9:
          OS8 on an iPad Mini 1 is slow compared to OS7.

        • They do, although from memory the Mini was clocked marginally slower.

          iOS 7.0 was a bit of a pig of a release…it came with plenty of stability issues. iOS 7.1 was a big improvement in that regard. Certainly the iPad should be able to run Safari with quite a few tabs open…I frequently have 10 - 20 open on my iPad Air.

    • +2

      You haven't seem Safari crashing until you've used an iPad 1 lol

      • I managed to make my iPad air crash about six times in a minute with Safari. iOS8 has fixed up browser crashing for me, just introduced other annoying issues.

  • Cheaper than ebay's 15% off sale for Aussie stock…from just a month ago.

    • The one on your link is new grey stock, this one in the Apple store is refurbished

      • New grey stock is the same thing though. Don't get caught up by sales jargon.
