For 15 yr old, had original Mini, loves the Mini3
Works great! Put it in a case, make them pay something...if they break it again, it's there responsibility to fix....

The perfect down-sized upgrade
Bought this product for my wife, to replace her old iPad 2. It still works great but it is a little slower and, being a 16 GB model, was bursting at the seams with content (pictures, especially). It was also a bit on the large size for her liking, though it served her well for over 4 years. We bought this model, which was much more her size and she loves it. The 128 GB ensures that she will have a hard time filling it up, seeing that it took 4 years to fill up the 16 GB model. The processor is much faster and the built in camera is superior to our previous model, so she can use this to actually take pictures vs. having to use her iPhone or a digital camera, and then transfer them. The touch ID is also a great security feature. Definitely happy with this product.
I find the iPad mini to be perfect for what I use it for (It's a great middle ground between my smart phone and my computer). The iPad mini 3 is perfect for travel, it's very portable and easy to use. It has lots of apps (although some of my favs are only available as knockoffs and not the originals so check if something you must have is in the App Store first if that's a deal breaker). The screen resolution is the same as the bigger iPad so it should actually be better looking with same pixel count in smaller area (haven't used both side by side to compare though). The speaker is ok, nothing to write home about, for best sound use headphones. I find the battery life is good getting a full day of use from a full charge (using auto brightness setting).
And now for the problems,
1, charging port is on the bottom, the cord gets in the way all the time when its plugged in and I'm using it. (Some apps don't rotate so forced to deal with this issue)
2, touch screen imprecise at best and no way to calibrate (that I could find anyway and I tried settings, Siri search, and even google searched it). It gets absolutely horrible when typing and trying to select a word to delete or change, it never seems to go to the place you want in the text and you have to do a tap dance around the word till it finally does.
3, it is VERY easy to drop! GET A COVER, or at the very least a screen protector! I dropped mine 3 times the first day I had it, and I'm in no way clumsy, because of the smooth surface (just lucky it fell on soft things when it happened), I bought a cover for better grip on day 2 and still dropped it a few more times since. So be warned!
All in all it's a great product, has the same screen resolution of its bigger sibling yet much more portable. Screen is crisp and easy to read. Sound is ok. Battery charge gives a full day of use. If you have unlimited data on your cell phone, get wifi only version and tether for no wifi areas. If you pay per gig, get wireless version and best data plan from your carrier for the iPad, you will eat through your allotment fast.
