I am very pleased with this iPad mini 4. Beside getting a great discount on it at Best Buy, I was able to purchase it with cellular. The size makes it easy to put in my purse for travel. The Retina display is so clear and crisp. The battery life has been great. Overall great purchase.

The iPad mini is just what I was looking for except that I thought I had extra data coming to me when I hooked it to AT&T.

I like the mini's size over the normal iPad for portability and weight. I got this to replace my iPad mini 2. The screen quality is great and more vibrant than my old iPad. With improved processor and memory, the mini 4 feels snappy and the annoyance of reloading Safari tabs and multitasking is not a problem anymore. It's nice to use Touch ID so I don't have to keep using my passcode all the time. 16GB is limiting for me but 64GB is plenty coming from the 32GB model. The only con is the price but that's with any other Apple product. Because of the size difference, cases and screen protectors are not interchangeable like the iPad minis 1/2/3.

I have had iPads since they came out in 2010. I purchased the original series for both my daughter and I as they were released, skipping a year between each release for "better upgrades". I skipped the iPad Mini 1 after seeing that it went backward in capability, and still had my iPad 4 when the iPad Mini 2 was released. I used that for a year and went against my norm...getting the iPad Mini 3 when it was released, since I liked the Touch ID capability for security. Also, I got the mobile version with a SIM, allowing portability. There were no other changes in the 2 and the specific 3 I purchased. So, along comes the iPad Mini 4 and I had to have it...it's new and has to be better, right? Meh, sort of. I'm older now, pushing mid 40's and now needing glasses to read, so I compared the iPad Mini 4 to the year old iPad Air 2 (since they skipped a version 3 for the iPad Pro). What I found was that the iPad Air 2, albeit a year old in technology, was still better in specs than the newly released iPad Mini 4. All sorts of bench tests from high tech companies have proved this (see for yourself online). So off to the store I went to test for myself. After several different app tests in Best Buy (multiple I might add), I found that side-by-side the iPad Air 2 was faster than my iPad Mini 4. I'll keep the device, since it too has a SIM and is great for travel in a backpack. But for the house...I'm awaiting the release of the new larger iPad, whatever it may be called in the next month or so. I believe it is rumored that on March 21st Apple may announce the next gen iPad.

The iPad Mini 4 is light, small enough to fit in a bag, yet large enough to do everyday computing such as internet browsing, email, reading, calendar tasks, Trello tasks, and document creation (such as word and excel docs). Battery life is as advertised and seems to last several days without charge. Offers a pleasant FaceTime experience. I ordered the 64 GB unit with cellular capabilities. I have found this size to be large enough for the novice user to the power user. Enough space to store movies, music, and docs, and don't feel like you are sacrificing space. This was a gift purchase and they absolutely love all the things I've mentioned about the Mini 4, including it working right out of the box. A great gift for anyone.
