Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great battery life, and handles some flight/airplane apps flawlessly. And the size is just right for portability.

I traded in my iPad mini 5th gen for this 6th gen. The primary reason was that I had run out of memory on any 64Gb mini tab. So, I elected for the 256GB wifi and cellular unlocked tab. It *might* been one of the best tech purchases I've ever made (before I purchase the Asus ROG Ally that is)! It's portable, powerful, useful and so convenient to use. Quite frankly I use it just as much as I use my phone if not more! The main differences between the 5th and 6th gen mini tablets is exterior colors, and the impressive chip upgrade between the 5th gen and 6th gen. The functionality and usability is awesome for up keeping email, reading, playing games, photos, social media or just entertainment on any level. I do have a small online business and I can run literally everything for my business from this mini powerful tablet with ease! The wifi and cellular combo keeps this tablet fully connected 24/7 as long as you're within range of cellular or wifi connection of course! The chip is impressive! It's fast! It offers fluid usage whether I'm streaming, gaming, reading, googling, or scrolling. The graphics are amazing and crystal clear. It loads webpages, apps and games impressively quickly. I play a few mobile games and they work beautifully on this table, SWGOH, Pokemon, Destiny companion, magic and COD. All of which play like butter! It’s even compatible with the Razor backbone! It does function okay for some xbox cloud games but not all. The battery life is outstanding! I'm 7 months in on this tablet and it's just as strong as the day I got it. Typically, I use my tablet for roughly 5 hours a day at minimum and on average I have to recharge every other day. One charge last me anywhere from 2 -3 days depending on my usage. It takes a little over an hour to charge from 5% to 100% with my USB C cable. The portability is outstanding! It fits in literally all my bags (cross body, mini backpack, tote, and even my large winter coat pocket lol) without getting in the way, taking up too much space or even adding much weight. It's light weight and easy hold even one handed. there's still a large variety of cases available to accommodate all needs. I do love that to accommodates the magnetic portfolio style case when when I'm traveling with it but, the plastic silicone covers are useful and easier to hold when lounging around the house and using my tablet all day. The camera is average. It does the trick and offers excellent high quality pictures. It doesn't replace my phone's camera but it's worth mentioning that it's a quality camera that does the trick when I need to snap a quick candid photo (or even photos for my reviews). The memory is AMAZING! I highly recommend going with a memory option of anything ABOVE 64GB. The 64 Gb is simply too small and fills up quickly with updates and downloads. Lastly, the purple color is one of my favorite features but it allows me to customize the tablet to my style even on an exterior level that most tablets don't. I wish there were this many color options for the Apple pro max phones. All in all, I have come around to prefer this iPad mini 6th gen over my iPad Pro 12.9 in and arguably sometimes my phone! I could not be happier or more impressed with his iPad mini and I literally could not recommend it more! (Last photo shows iPad mini 6th gen next to my iPhone 14 Pro Max)

I absolutely love that iPad mini. I take it with me everywhere! So easy to write on and take notes all day long! I never noticed that it’s dying, because it lasts so long!

Perfect device and size for my needs. Wanted something to replace notepads at work, but didn't want a large device to carry around. The mini with Apple Pencil Pro is perfect. Downloaded GoodNotes, and the combination has been the best thing for my needs.

I traded in an M2 ipad pro to get this ipad mini. The ipad mini with cellular is the perfect companion to the Macbook Pro. I got an Apple Pencil and one of those fancy paper-texture screen protectors and have taken up handwriting journal entries and notes every morning. It started as an experiment but the ipad really has become a knowledge hub for me in a very short period of time. The battery life is about the same as the ipad pro was. Its WAY lighter in my bag. Pairs well with my macbook pro for internet when I'm on the road. People complain about the screen and fingerprint reader. I get the complaints. The screen looks great but it is lower refresh rate. Finding the fingerprint reader is annoying after being used to face unlock. But its fine.... All in all 5 stars from me.

Itis so much faster than the A15 model. The battery life is extremely longer too.

Much better form factor than an iPad Pro. Can hold in one hand. Finger print reader is the best I have seen on any device. It work every time, even with dry hands unlike other devices I have owned. Battery lasts all day. Screen looks as good better than my iPhone 16. Very responsive and fast. Cellular feature works great on T-Mobile as an add on. Can watch You Tube videos anywhere, no lag. Very happy with this iPad Mini, as it is the perfect size and can take anywhere with the cellular feature.

It will make you want to draw it will make you wanna create a handy and always portable and light the light out of all of them and the USB-C you could just get an SD card adapter and it just all your photos all in one shot. Gemini is great as far as multitasking and talking to it at the same time

Very smooth and am able to use it exactly what I needed it for

More than worthy upgrade for my old iPad mini, works great, size is quite a bit smaller and much faster than my old one.

Perfect for me- right size, cellular, and on sale for a better price than anywhere else .

I should have gotten one of these a long time ago. This is my favorite iPad of the three I own. Just the right size for portability.

Excellent product. No complaints. It's just what I needed to run the app I wanted to run.

I have been enjoying my purchase. Love its camera and what I can do with it.

It fits my 'cheap Amazon case', and works great with the new Apple Pencil (Yep, won't even charge the older model), but it's faster and clearer than the previous model, and the battery lasts a lot longer too. I've never had 'jelly scrolling' so can't comment on that but apparently if it's doing that while reading an eBook, you are doing something wrong. The color isn't a deep blue, which was rather interesting. In some light it almost looks grayish. I upgraded because the battery in my Mini 6 was bad, so from a 6, might not be a huge upgrade, but for earlier mini models, this will be very welcome... This is still The One iPad To Travel With!

This was to replace an iPad mini 6 whose battery was not up to par. The Pencil pro support is nice, but I dont use the pencil as much as my wife, who loves them. This is great for a bedtime reader. I prefer iPad Pro for comics, though.

I love the size; easier and lighter for me to handle. I’m getting used to the touch at the top. So far it is doing what I need it to do.

The Best Buy website was easy to navigate and looking for a specific item wasn’t complicated as are other websites. Shipping was extremely fast and the tracking information updated timely.

Bought this as a gift for a college student. She loves the size and said its perfect for using while she's in class.
