iPad Mini

[lotsofthingstolearn]

So we’re in the market for an IPad Mini. We’re not necessarily looking for most up to date etc but seems that you can only buy the 2019 model (which is more expensive than we wanted to pay)

Any ideas where I can get older models please?

check amazon and also look for refurbished models - can get a bargain that way

Have you tried a reseller? We just took all of our previous iPhones, iPads and games consoles (PS4 etc) to a shop that refurbishes them and resells them. I think it then gives the buyer confidence and a guarantee that the kit works. The chain near us is called CEX. Not sure if they’re across UK, but sure you’ll have similar.
