Apple - 7.9-Inch iPad mini (5th Generation) with Wi-Fi - 256GB - Space Gray

I originally purchased the larger iPad Air and returned that for this mini. I love the size, it's so much easier to hold and fits in a small bag or purse. I replaced a Samsung Tablet 4 with this, and there is a huge difference with speed, battery life, picture quality and more. I have switch my phone also from and Android to an iPhone, but I do miss some of the features androids have that Apple doesn't. You can't go back to a previous page as easily and you don't have the capability to add more storage for two examples. It would be great if they would someday combine all the features into one great tablet! I wanted the Gold color but it was out-of-stock so I got the Space Grey. They grey really is a pretty color. I've attached a picture, that I took with the Android, but it is a bit darker than it appears. One nice thing about purchasing this at Best Buy is that they price matched it from a different store that was $50. cheaper but they were out-of-stock at that store.

Was in the market for an iPad and I wanted something compact for my everyday needs and I ended up going with this and I love it. So perfect not too small not too big great for casual use. Surfing the web and watching videos are such a pleasant experience on this device. Only downside is there’s only speakers on the bottom of the ipad which is kind of a bummer but not a deal breaker. Overall I would recommend this. Smooth experience works perfect with Apple Pencil first gen as well.

The iPad mini is a great tablet but the battery power. This is not the case with the new iPad mini. This iPad is powerful, fast, and supports the Apple Pencil. This is my third iPad mini my second iPad is ten years old it still work but the battery is bad have to keep it plugged in all the time it’s my grand baby’s now. My new one is the battery power is great it last 10 hours. If you have been waiting to upgrade your iPad mini, this is the upgrade you've been waiting for.

The new iPad mini is amazing, I upgraded from a mini 2 and the speed difference is night and day. Screen is nice but blacks are not as dark as XSMax, understandable since it is not OLED. Pair with back cover and Smart Keyboard so you can detach front cover for gaming.

Love the Ipad mini ..So glad to have it, It is easy to use and carry.

Awesome iPad with great memory and ease of use! I love the perfect size to hold, not to big!! I also love the pretty pink color!

I have a 2018 iPad Pro 11-inch and Apple Pencil 2nd Gen that I love to use for productivity, but wished for a smaller tablet for when I travel. While on a train ride to San Francisco for a leisure day trip, I got a headache while watching videos on the iPhone X's smaller screen. After hearing that the latest iPad Mini got a significant boost in specs, a brighter/wider color display with Tru Tone, and Apple Pencil 1st Gen support, I decided to purchase the Mini 5 (my first ever Mini). I realize that the forehead and chin bezels harken back to the 2012 design, but I didn't mind it too much. After all, I was using an iPad Air 2 prior to upgrading to the iPad Pro and those had huge top and bottom bezels. Apps open quickly, and I enjoy watching videos on the bright screen as colors really pop. With the laminated display, there is less reflection and the apps are so close to the glass that it seems like I am touching them. With iPad OS, I have the ability to use this in a pinch for productivity. Mainly, I use it for web browsing, Youtube, and Netflix and the size makes it a perfect travel companion. It's so easy to just grab and go. The camera takes decent pictures, but I mainly use my phone camera for that. I found the 7 megapixel front camera much improved for FaceTime. The 2 bottom stereo speakers are fairly loud. Along with Bluetooth 5.0 update, I am glad that an audio jack is still present as I have an older Bose wired headphones I love to use when listening to music or streaming movies. In addition, TouchID has been improved and unlocks the Mini in a flash. With the A12 bionic chip, it will continue receive software updates for years to come. I highly recommend the iPad Mini 5 for those who have older Minis and looking to upgrade. I hope that Apple continues to produce the Mini as there are many of us who really love its form factor and portability. I love it so much that I purchased a 64 GB Gold one for my mother, and she loves using it to watch Youtube. I can't wait to see what Apple has in store for a future design!

Amazing compact and plenty of memory for thousands of pictures and videos.This mini iPad is fast,responsive and intuitive. Love it!!!My favorite travel companion.
