The Apple Store discounts a selection of its factory-refurbished iPad Mini WiFi and WiFi + 4G models, with models starting $279. With free shipping on all orders, that's tied with last week's mention and the lowest total price we could find for these models with an Apple warranty. Each carries a 1-year Apple warranty, the same as new units. These are available in white/silver or black/slate. Notables:
