Our take on the Apple iPad Mini 2 32GB

The iPad Mini 2 is Apple's 2013 7.9-inch tablet with a 2048 x 1536 Retina display and the A7 chip. It is Wi-Fi only, runs iOS up to 12.5.7, and is long out of software support. The 32GB version is the roomier of the two original storage tiers. No current price was supplied, so compare any listing against recent sold prices for used units before buying.

Questions and answers

Is the iPad Mini 2 still worth buying?
Only as a cheap secondary device for reading, video or kids. It cannot run many current apps because it stops at iOS 12.5.7.
What is the difference from the iPad Mini 3?
The Mini 3 adds Touch ID and a gold color option but uses the same A7 chip and display. The Mini 2 is the better value of the two used.
How is the battery life?
Apple rated it at about 10 hours of Wi-Fi web use when new. Any unit sold now is roughly a decade old, so expect less and check the battery health before buying.
Does it support the Apple Pencil?
No. No iPad Mini before the 5th generation supports the Apple Pencil.
What comes in the box?
A used listing typically includes just the tablet and a Lightning cable, sometimes a charger. Confirm the contents with the seller.
When is it cheapest?
Prices for used Mini 2 units drift down over time and spike around back-to-school season. Compare recent sold prices rather than list prices.
