A: Answer to question 1: No, unfortunately the iPad Mini 7 (nor any other iPad for that matter) can’t keep the same phone number as the same person’s iPhone on either the WiFi-only or cellular model iPads. However, the way to get around this is to go to the Settings app on your iPhone, find the Phone app, scroll down to Calls On Other Devices under Calls, and turn on for the other Apple devices you may own (iPads, MacBook, iMac). Answer to question 2: No, unfortunately the iPad Mini 7 (as well as the 2024 iPad Pros and 2024 iPad Airs) is only compatible with either the Apple Pencil Pro or the Apple Pencil USB-C, and not the Apple Pencil 1st Gen nor Apple Pencil 2nd Gen nor the Apple Pencil lightning connector model. Apple did this to this year’s iPad Pro models and iPad Air models as well where Apple dropped compatibility with the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen (and Apple Pencils before it) for the iPad Pro 2024 series and iPad Air 2024 series, as well as the iPad Mini 7. Hopefully this helps.
Q: What generation is this iPad?
A: Latest 2025
Q: Do ya price match? Amazon got new ipad mini 7th gen for $84 off 128gb model $89 off for 256gb model
A: They price match to Costco as well. Submit a request via chat under support. Not sure if they price match during Black Friday FWIW.
A: If you want GPS get a Cellular model, it’s not on WiFi.
A: No, it’s sold separately.
Q: Does Best Buy accept trade-ins?
A: Yes, I traded in a much older iPad and was able to apply toward the purchase of my new one. Credit was applied VERY quickly, in a few days.
A: different kinds (mortgage rates, Fed rate, credit card APRs, savings account rates, auto loans, etc.)

I’m so satisfied
If you’re debating whether to get the Purple iPad Mini… let me save you the stress: get it, girl. This thing is small but mighty and I am absolutely obsessed! From the moment I opened the box, the color alone had me in love. The shade of purple is so pretty, sleek, feminine, and luxurious without being childish. It feels grown, cute, and classy all at once. The size is honestly perfect. It’s lightweight and super comfortable to hold with one hand, but still big enough to watch movies, read, scroll, plan, or work without feeling cramped. It fits easily in a purse, work bag, or even a big pocket depending on what you’re wearing, so it’s truly the most convenient “carry everywhere” tablet. I love that it gives me iPad power without feeling like I’m lugging around a laptop. Performance-wise, it’s fast, smooth, and responsive. Apps open instantly, multitasking is easy, and the display is crystal clear and bright. Watching videos, FaceTiming, reading, and editing documents feels beautiful on this screen. The sound quality is surprisingly powerful for its size too. And if you’re into writing, drawing, note-taking, or digital planning, pairing it with the Apple Pencil makes it 10x better. It honestly feels like a tiny, powerful notebook. Battery life? Amazing. I can use it throughout the day and still have plenty of charge left. It’s perfect for work, school, nursing chart reviews, business planning, social media, Netflix binges, and just day-to-day life in general. Everything feels easier with it. Overall, the Purple iPad Mini is beautiful, portable, powerful, and worth every penny. It’s cute enough to make you smile every time you pick it up and strong enough to handle real-life tasks. I honestly don’t regret it for a second — this is definitely one of my favorite Apple devices now.

Excellent Performance in a Perfectly Compact Size
The Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro chip), Wi-Fi, 128GB, Space Gray is an outstanding device that delivers flagship-level performance in a compact, easy-to-carry form factor. The A17 Pro chip makes everything feel incredibly fast and smooth—whether browsing, streaming, multitasking, or using productivity and creative apps. The display is sharp and vibrant, making it great for reading, media consumption, and light creative work, while the 128GB of storage provides plenty of room for apps, photos, and documents. Its lightweight size is ideal for travel, couch use, or one-handed operation, yet it never feels underpowered. Battery life is solid for all-day use, and the build quality is exactly what you’d expect from Apple, durable, and reliable. Paired with Wi-Fi performance that’s fast and stable, this iPad mini is a perfect balance of power, portability, and practicality. Highly recommended for anyone who wants top-tier performance in a compact tablet that’s easy to take anywhere.

Easier on my eyes compared to my iPhone
Great lightweight alternative to my iPhone. It's easy to hold, and the perfect size for reading the Bible, browsing, and watching videos. The screen looks great, performance is smooth, and it fits easily into a bag. If you want something more capable than a phone but more portable than a full-size iPad, this is a great choice. It doesn't have face recognition like my iPhone but uses finger Touch ID. Habit makes me stare at my screen to open it. Pair with an Apple Pencil Pro for more fun!
