We had to wait for the launch of the iPad mini 4 in the keynote of last Wednesday, September 9, but finally Apple puts on sale the models of iPad mini 3 in the section of refurbished in Spain. This section is an important part of the Apple website and we always refer to it when the guys from Cupertino add new reconditioned, repaired or refurbished products. In this case, the launch "a little unnoticed" of the iPad mini 4 last Wednesday has led to that after a year we have first units available iPad mini 3 in this section.
In some countries and specifically in the United States, they have a long list of these refurbished products and they are obviously the first to have stock of Apple devices. I imagine that we all know and are clear that these devices are not new, but as if they were, since offer us 1 year warranty and normally the exterior finish of them is impeccable. It is worth noting that Apple warns that these devices They are not changed if they arrive with a mark or small scratch, but my experience in this type of product and that of some acquaintances has always been very good.
Another detail to highlight in this case of the iPad mini 3 is that Apple eliminated it from its catalog of new products for sale, this means that they are no longer manufactured. It reminds me a lot of the iPad 3 case that although it is true they had less time to live than this iPad mini 3, they were also eliminated from sale with the launch of the iPad 4. Be that as it may, we have a good discount on the price of the devices and Apple will not stop supporting the equipment for not being in your sales catalog, at least for a few years.
