Bought this product for my wife, to replace her old iPad 2. It still works great but it is a little slower and, being a 16 GB model, was bursting at the seams with content (pictures, especially). It was also a bit on the large size for her liking, though it served her well for over 4 years. We bought this model, which was much more her size and she loves it. The 128 GB ensures that she will have a hard time filling it up, seeing that it took 4 years to fill up the 16 GB model. The processor is much faster and the built in camera is superior to our previous model, so she can use this to actually take pictures vs. having to use her iPhone or a digital camera, and then transfer them. The touch ID is also a great security feature. Definitely happy with this product.

I had the regular size iPad and it was great for study and research but was a little too big and heavy to take everywhere. The mini 3 is great. The perfect size and weight for on the go. And the screen is a nice size to still see things easily. Great purchase. Great price match too.

bought the iPad 3 mini as a birthday present. my wife was very pleased to use a tablet with far less weight than her 2nd generation iPad. she was able to sync all the necessary data and apps with the largere drive storage on the mini. perfect tablet for travel as well.

The size is perfect for traveling, due to its light weight and ability to fit in a purse. I can finally take high quality photos of my vacations. It is far easier to carry with me than a full size IPad or quality camera.

Purchased for my wife as a gift. First off, max memory is the way to go, never again with the lesser memory iPads or iPhones. All of the music she wanted is on this along with all of the pictures she wanted. Best part is there is room for plenty of apps, room for pdf files and room for taking a whole lot more pictures. She picked up an external Bluetooth keyboard, it is tight, but still very useable. Works as well as my iPad Air, but this she can easily carry in her purse and even in large jacket pockets. Even better for transportability than a full size iPad. The next steps forward should be a USB plug to allow easy transfer of pictures/documents/media and direct plug in from point and shoot and DSLR cameras.
