Love it!
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.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.

I love my iPads
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.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.

Best mini yet
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This is my third mini and it’s the best yet. So much faster than my mini 4 with lots more storage. My only complaint is that Apple doesn’t make a case to protect the back but mini 4 case works fine. Although the camera is partially covered in mini 4 case, photos come out fine.

Perfect Tablet
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.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.

|Posted .I really love my new iPad mini 5! I love all apple products really, but this one is my second fave. My iPhone is first! I have added a smart folio ckeyboard case and paper like screen cover and now my iPad mini 5 is like my baby laptop and I take it EVERYWHERE ! The sound quality is way better than my last one thi mini 4 and the picture clarity is great too. I’m happy I got it! My only issue with apple is the pricing.... they could be more budget friendly but otherwise I am happy! Love my iPad Mini 5

Q: QuestionIs this the mini 4 or the mini 5?
Asked by Allie.
- A:Answer This is the mini 5, sometimes referred to as the iPad Mini (2019). If you decide to purchase, note that most iPad mini 4 cases won't work properly with this model, as the cutouts don't line up with the rear camera or the volume buttons. I just got this model recently and am pleased with it so far.
