What lowers your iPad mini offer

  • Which generation you have

    The iPad mini 7 and 6 sit well above the iPad mini 5 and 4. The mini 4 and 5 have a Home button and a Lightning port, while the mini 6 and 7 have USB-C and no Home button, which is a quick way to check.

  • A worn charging port

    A mini rides in bags and on couch arms, so the charging port takes a beating. A loose cable connection, a port that only charges at an angle or debris in the port lowers the offer.

  • Scratched glass and small dents

    Bag scratches across the display and dinged corners are the usual marks on a small tablet. Light wear moves it down one condition tier, while cracked glass or a lifted screen lowers it further.

  • Storage and cellular choice

    Match the storage capacity and pick Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi with cellular exactly. A mini that is still tied to a school or company, or to an Apple Account through Activation Lock, cannot be traded in until the lock is removed.

Plug cannot take iPad minis locked by Find My or Activation Lock, minis still under school or company management, or lost or stolen devices.

How much can I sell my iPad mini for?

Its generation, storage, connectivity and condition set the estimate. The table on this page shows the highest current estimate for each iPad mini generation, and the tool prices your exact tablet. The final value follows inspection.

Where is the best place to sell an iPad mini?

Carrier and manufacturer trade-ins usually pay in credit toward a new device. Marketplaces let you name your price, but you handle the buyer and the shipping. Plug is a mail-in buyback with a prepaid label that is free to use, and you choose store credit or a digital payout after inspection.

Is my old iPad mini worth anything?

The table lists the iPad mini 4 through the iPad mini 7. If your mini is older than that and does not appear in the estimate tool, contact Plug before you send it, because an unlisted model may not qualify.

Can I sell an iPad mini with a cracked screen?

The tool asks about the glass, the touch response and whether the tablet works. A crack lowers the offer, and a mini that will not turn on may not qualify. Describe it as it really is, and contact Plug first if your fault is not covered.

More questions about selling your iPad mini

Does Wi-Fi or cellular change my iPad mini estimate?

Connectivity is part of the configuration, so choose the version you own along with its storage and any carrier option. Cellular minis have a SIM tray or eSIM, so cancel or transfer the plan before you send it.

How do I find out which iPad mini I have?

Open Settings, then General, then About, and read the model name and model number. A Home button with a Lightning port points to the mini 4 or 5, and a USB-C port with no Home button points to the mini 6 or 7.

Do I need to send the charger, case or Apple Pencil?

Follow the instructions in your offer. Do not assume accessories are part of the iPad mini estimate. If you want to sell one, check for its own listing or contact Plug first.

How should I pack an iPad mini?

A small tablet slides around easily, so use a rigid box with padding on every side and wrap the screen. Attach the prepaid label, follow the drop-off directions with it and keep the receipt. Back it up and erase it first when you are ready to ship.

Before you ship your device

Prepare your device after reviewing your offer and shipping instructions. You do not need to erase it to check its value.

  3. Erase and remove your SIM

    After your backup and account removal, erase all content and settings. Transfer your mobile service before removing an eSIM, and take out any physical SIM card.
