The Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro) — the 7th-generation mini — was released on October 23, 2024. It keeps the all-screen 8.3-inch design of the 2021 mini 6 but upgrades the internals: the A17 Pro chip with 8GB of RAM (enough for Apple Intelligence), faster Wi-Fi 6E, a quicker USB-C port, and support for the Apple Pencil Pro. Touch ID lives in the top button, and cellular models are now eSIM only (no physical SIM tray). It came in Blue, Purple, Starlight, and Space Gray. Because storage and connectivity are the two factors that move its resale price, select your configuration using the tool above to view an instant cash offer for your exact device.

Identify your exact iPad mini (A17 Pro)

The A17 Pro mini came in a single 8.3-inch size, so the model number on the back tells you which connectivity version you have. Open Settings > General > About > Model Number and tap once to reveal the A-number, or read the small text on the back:

Wi-Fi

  • Model A2993
  • No GPS

Wi-Fi + Cellular

  • Model A2995 (China: A2996)
  • Adds 5G, GPS/GNSS, and eSIM (no physical SIM tray)

The A17 Pro mini looks nearly identical to the 2021 iPad mini 6, so the A-number is the reliable tell. Two quick hardware checks: the A17 Pro is eSIM only (no nano-SIM tray, even on cellular), and it supports the Apple Pencil Pro — both differ from the mini 6. Need help locating the model number?

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm I have the iPad mini (A17 Pro) and not the mini 6?
Open Settings > General > About and check Model Name — it should read "iPad mini (A17 Pro)." Tap the Model Number once to reveal the A-number: A2993 for Wi-Fi or A2995 for Wi-Fi + Cellular. The A17 Pro mini and the 2021 mini 6 look almost identical, so the A-number is the most reliable check. Two physical tells: the A17 Pro is eSIM only — there's no nano-SIM tray even on cellular units — and it supports the Apple Pencil Pro, where the mini 6 used the Apple Pencil (2nd generation). The A17 Pro also comes in Blue (the mini 6 offered Pink instead). See our guide to finding your gadget's model for step-by-step help.
02 Can I trade in an iPad mini (A17 Pro) with cracks or other issues?
Yes. We buy tablets in a range of conditions — flawless, lightly used, or with a cracked screen, a worn battery, bent corners, or power problems. Just set your cosmetic and functional condition accurately in the tool above and your offer will adjust to match. One important exception: a tablet still locked to an Apple ID or passcode (Activation Lock / Find My) has no resale value, so be sure to sign out and reset before shipping.
03 How do I wipe my iPad mini (A17 Pro) before sending it in?
Back up to iCloud first, then go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Erase All Content and Settings. This signs you out of iCloud, turns off Find My, and removes Activation Lock so the device is ready for its next owner. Since this model is eSIM only, also remove your eSIM/cellular plan from Settings before erasing. Our team also runs certified data sanitation on every incoming device — you can read more on our data erasure protocols page, and our guide to wiping an iPad before selling walks through each step.
04 Which configuration raises my iPad mini (A17 Pro) trade-in value the most?
With two variables on this model, value comes down to storage and connectivity: a 512GB unit pays the most, followed by 256GB then 128GB, and a Wi-Fi + Cellular (5G) model fetches more than Wi-Fi-only. A 512GB Cellular A17 Pro mini in flawless condition sits at the top of the range. As the current-generation mini with Apple Intelligence support, it holds value strongly, so cosmetic and functional condition matter. For more on maximizing your payout, see our guide to selling a used iPad for maximum profit.
05 What is the turnaround process for my cash payout?
After you accept your offer, we email a free, fully insured shipping label. Once your iPad mini arrives and our intake team finishes functional and cosmetic testing, payment is approved within two business days. We pay via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or ACH transfer, with a mailed paper check also available. Your offer stays valid for 30 days from checkout.
