Wi-Fi vs Cellular & choosing a model

  • WiFi only iPads connect through your home or work network, which suits most people. Cellular models add a SIM slot so you can get online anywhere, and usually cost a little more.
  • The standard iPad covers everyday browsing and streaming, iPad mini suits travel and reading, iPad Air balances power and portability, and iPad Pro is built for creative and professional work.
  • Every listing states the exact model, storage and connectivity.

Frequently asked questions

What does iPad grading mean?

Grading describes how an iPad looks, nothing more. Excellent looks close to new, Good shows light surface marks only, and Fair shows clear cosmetic wear but no cracks. Every iPad is fully tested and works perfectly whatever the grade, with battery health of at least 80 percent.
Do they come with a charger?

Every listing states exactly what is included with the iPad, including whether a charger comes in the box. Check the listing before you order and you will see precisely what arrives. If anything is unclear, contact us or ask in store and a specialist will confirm before you buy.
Does Cellular vs Wi-Fi affect the price?

Yes, cellular models usually cost a little more than the equivalent WiFi only iPad because of the added connectivity. Each listing states whether the iPad is WiFi only or cellular. Every cellular iPad passes an IMEI and blacklist check before it is listed, so there are no surprises later.
Is there a warranty?

Yes. Every iPad comes with the 24 month Mintro Guarantee as standard, covering faults for two full years. It does not cover accidental damage, water damage or misuse, and your usual consumer rights still apply on top.
How quickly will my iPad arrive?

Delivery is tracked and insured, and we dispatch within 1 working day, with higher value iPads travelling by Royal Mail Special Delivery. Online orders come with 14 days to change your mind, starting the day your order arrives, just pay for the return postage. Any fault is handled under the 24 month Mintro Guarantee.
