Apple publishes one trade-in figure for each iPad family, the most it pays for the newest model in the best condition. An older iPad mini (6th gen) gets less, so the tool leaves Apple's figure out of the upgrade cost and uses local quotes.
Is it worth upgrading from the iPad mini (6th gen) to the iPad mini (A17 Pro)?
A new iPad mini (A17 Pro) 128GB Wi-Fi costs £599 in the United Kingdom. After selling an iPad mini (6th gen) at the best local quote, it costs £403 (5 Oct 2026). Our default verdict: MAYBE.
Your iPad mini (6th gen) still does the job. The iPad mini (A17 Pro) is a nice-to-have.
- It is 5 years old.
What the iPad mini (A17 Pro) adds
- The A17 Pro chip, newer than your A15.
- Apple Intelligence, which your iPad cannot run.
- Apple Pencil Pro support, which your iPad does not have.
Your own result depends on storage, Wi-Fi or Cellular, condition and where you sell, so run the tool for your iPad.
If the battery is the problem, Apple's battery service costs far less than a new iPad.
