The iPad Mini 4 arrived in September 2015 as the slimmest small iPad Apple had built, at about 6.1 millimeters thick. It runs on the A8 chip with 2GB of RAM and has a fully laminated 7.9-inch Retina display with an anti-reflective coating. It keeps a Touch ID home button, a Lightning port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, with an 8MP rear camera and a 1.2MP front camera. It came in silver, space gray, and gold, and in storage sizes from 16GB up to 128GB. Easy to hold in one hand, it became a go-to for reading, flight tracking, and kids, and plenty are still in use. We accept all conditions including broken or cracked screens, so whatever state your iPad Mini is in, get your quote and ship it free.

How Much Is My iPad Mini 4 Worth?

With four storage sizes and a model this old, condition and storage do most of the work in setting your offer. The 128GB cellular model in excellent condition commands the strongest offer. The 16GB Wi-Fi only model in broken condition comes in at the lower end. Double check your storage and connectivity before selecting, since both change your quote.

iPad Mini 4 Trade-In Value Guide

• Storage: Available in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB. Higher tiers fetch stronger offers at every condition level. Check yours in Settings, then General, then About before selecting.
• Connectivity: Choose Unlocked if your iPad Mini has cellular, or WiFi Only if it does not. Cellular models typically fetch stronger offers because they appeal to a wider buyer pool. Remove any SIM card from the tray before shipping.
• Condition: Four tiers determine your offer:
  • Excellent: Pristine condition, no scratches, battery health above 85%, fully functional with original parts. Less than 10% of devices qualify. Strongest offer.
  • Good: Light signs of wear, minor scratches that can’t be felt by a fingernail, battery above 85%, display with no defects. Strong offer.
  • Cracked Glass: Functional device with cracked front, back, or camera glass, possible frame dents or deep scratches. LCD must be defect-free, battery above 80%. Moderate offer.
  • Broken: Device must power on and have no water damage. Screen burn, bad battery, faulty ports, broken Touch ID, or modified software all qualify. Lowest offer but still worth something.
• Battery condition: An iPad Mini from 2015 has had many years of charge cycles, and battery wear is the most common reason an older iPad drops a tier. If yours drains much faster than it did when new or needs charging far more often, it may be below the 85% line for the top two tiers. Be honest when you choose your condition.
• Laminated display condition: The 7.9-inch screen is bonded to the glass, so cracks and pressure marks show clearly. Check it under bright light, and look at a white screen for dead pixels or yellow patches.
• Home button and Touch ID condition: The physical home button has Touch ID built in. A button that sticks, feels loose, or fails to read your fingerprint should be noted when you pick your condition.
• Thin frame condition: At about 6.1 millimeters thick, the aluminum frame can bend if it was dropped or carried in a packed bag. Lay the iPad on a flat surface to check for twisting, and look at all four corners for dents.
• Lightning port condition: The iPad Mini 4 charges through a Lightning port. If the port is loose, clogged, or does not charge reliably, it affects core functionality and your offer.
• Headphone jack and speakers: The 3.5mm jack and the speakers on the bottom edge should work cleanly. Crackling, silence, or a jack that does not detect headphones should be noted.
• Camera condition: The iPad Mini 4 has an 8MP rear camera and a 1.2MP front camera. Scratches on either lens or a non-functional camera should be noted accurately.
• Activation Lock: An iPad with Activation Lock still enabled significantly reduces resale value. Sign out of your Apple ID and turn off Find My before selling. This is the single most important step you can take to protect your offer.
• Timing: The iPad Mini 4 stopped getting new iPadOS versions at iPadOS 15, and several newer minis have launched since. Values keep slipping with age, so the best time to sell is now.

How to Sell Your iPad Mini 4

Step 1: Get your instant quote

Find the iPad Mini 4 on this page and select your connectivity, storage, and condition. Be accurate about display condition and battery health. A mismatch between what you select and what we receive during inspection can affect your final payout. You will get an instant quote with no obligation to accept.

Step 2: Back up, sign out, and reset

Back up your iPad to iCloud or your computer. Sign out of your Apple ID and turn off Find My to remove Activation Lock. Then go to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. This clears your data and leaves the iPad ready for its next owner.

Step 3: Pack it small and ship free

Once you accept your offer, we’ll send you a prepaid shipping label. Take off any cover or case, wrap the iPad in bubble wrap or foam, and pack it in a snug rigid box where it cannot shift. Drop it off at any USPS location. Shipping costs nothing on your end.

Step 4: Get paid stupid fast

Once your iPad arrives and passes inspection, payment goes out within a single business day. Choose PayPal for the fastest payout. Many sellers receive their money within minutes of approval. If anything comes up during inspection that affects your offer, we’ll contact you before proceeding.

FAQs

How much is an iPad Mini 4 worth?

It depends on storage, connectivity, and condition. The 128GB cellular model in excellent condition commands the strongest offer. The 16GB Wi-Fi only model in broken condition comes in at the lower end. Get your instant quote above to find out exactly what yours is worth right now.

Is the iPad Mini 4 worth selling in 2026?

Yes. It is an older model, but it still has resale value, especially with a healthy battery and a clean screen. Because it no longer gets new iPadOS versions, values tend to keep easing, so selling sooner holds more of it.

Is a 16GB iPad Mini 4 worth selling?

Yes. The 16GB model still has value, though the larger storage tiers fetch stronger offers at every condition level. Pick your storage tier accurately and get your instant quote to see where yours lands.

Do I need to include the charger or cover?

No. Your quote is for the iPad itself, so you can keep your charger and any cover or case. Remove the cover before packing so nothing presses on the screen.

Where can I sell a broken iPad Mini 4?

The Whiz Cells is the best place to sell your broken iPad Mini 4. As long as it powers on and has no water damage, we’ll make you an offer. Screen burn, bad battery, faulty ports, broken Touch ID, and cracked glass all qualify. Your offer will reflect the damage but you won’t get turned away for it.

How long does payment take?

Payment goes out within one business day of your iPad arriving and passing inspection. PayPal is usually the fastest, with many sellers paid within minutes of approval. Bank transfers, Visa cards, and gift cards are also available, and checks take 7-10 business days.

Do I need to remove Activation Lock before selling?

Yes, this is the most important step. Sign out of your Apple ID and turn off Find My before shipping. An iPad with Activation Lock still enabled is worth significantly less and will be flagged during inspection. Removing it takes less than a minute and protects your full offer.

How do I get the most money for my iPad Mini 4?

Three things make the biggest difference. First, select your storage tier and cellular option accurately, since larger tiers and cellular models fetch stronger offers. Second, check the screen, the corners, the home button, and how well the battery holds a charge so your condition matches what we find. Third, sign out of your Apple ID and turn off Find My before shipping to protect your full offer.
