Apple - iPad mini 4 Wi-Fi + Cellular 128GB - Silver

I see all these great reviews but im not to excited about this ipad. First im coming from an android, so i was hesitant about getting one but i needed it for the flight applications since im a student pilot. Couple of things that are different compared to the android tablet i had before. The plus is definitely the processor and storage.Also good size. My complaint is the videos, its all wide screen. on the youtube and vudu apps it also plays the same so i cant utilize the entire screen for videos. There is no setting to adjust this like my tablet had before. Also there was a nifty setting that my android phone had and my table had which would let you set the screen brighter when playing videos to get the full colors of the picture. The rear and front camera quality is low, and does not record in 4k. These may be small things but for the price i expected a bit more.

The iPad Mini 4 is a great product. Long battery life, fast processing, very convenient for carrying around, and was a good price on sale from Best Buy. The only downside to the product itself is the size of print and pictures at times which need to be readjusted to a larger size. Also, while not an issue with the product itself, you need to be aware if you want a cellular connection and you use Verizon that the default simm chip shipped by Best Buy is for cellular carriers other than Verizon. This issue was not clear when I purchased the product online from the Best Buy website. However, a quick trip to the Best Buy store closest to me fixed the problem when they replaced the chip with one that works with Verizon service. So, other than the reading size at times, I would highly recommend the IPAD Mini 4 from Best Buy, especially if you want the convenience of this smaller IPAD.

A huge upgrade over my old iPad mini 2. Display is much more vibrant and the extra memory and faster chip makes this a snappy device. I went to Best Buy with the intention of purchasing a standard 128 wi-fi model, however the only 128 model in stock was the 128 gold cellular model. The salesman asked if I'd be interested in the cellular version. I initially told him no, but when he offered the cellular model for the same price as the wi-fi model I though why not, as I would probably never use it in cellular mode. Well, after about a week I decided to try the cellular capabilities as I was going on travel for work. Long story short - I saved $130 by buying this model as I could never imagine not having the cellular capability of this device.

It takes Apple a few generations to get their products right and the iPad mini 4 Wi-Fi + Cellular is no exception. The iPad mini 4 is what consumers hoped for with the iPad mini 3, which was simply the mini 2 with too few upgrades to be worth purchasing. The iPad mini 4 is a fast and perky delight while browsing the web, using Garageband or posting to social media. While it does disappoint when trying to fully utilize the capabilities of the GoPro app and doesn't allow the user to edit 4K video, that shouldn't shock anyone too much as very few devices play nicely with that format as of yet. For the casual iPad user who needs a fast and portable device, the iPad mini 4 is a perfect on the go tablet.

I bought the Apple iPad Mini 4 to replace an original Mini, which had only 16 gigs of storage and had become difficult as a result. My new one has 128 gigs, and that makes a huge difference in its convenience and apparent speed, which I have no way of measuring but is obviously much faster than the original. The Mini 4 is so convenient to use that I now frequently go days without turning on my iMac. I've paired a Bluetooth keyboard with the Mini 4 and find it pretty convenient to compose and edit documents with that setup. I'm pretty confident that I won't need to be constantly deleting apps and photos to make room for updates and the like, as I was reduced to for the last year with the original Mini.

IPad Mini 4 is my 3rd iPad. The others were earlier versions and the larger original size. I wondered if I'd like this size. I do. I checked it out several times before buying it. My wife had an iPad Mini earlier version. I tried and liked hers. The capacity was important for me. I got the 128G. That holds my pics and music well. I don't have many videos. Display is very sharp and clear. It's great for reading books. Only concern I have is that occasionally I seem to tap a "key," and the character doesn't appear. I tap again, and all is well. I think the issue is my tap accuracy, but I am still evaluating if it might be a little hardware issue. Oh! One more thing: I like the audio quality just fine.

This was my second iPad (I don't replace on every update). So moving up from my iPad 3 which had become sluggish with newer apps, I struggled with what to get ... iPad Air 2, new iPad Pro 9.7, or this iPad 4 mini. Yes the mini 4 had a slightly slower set of processors but all the reviews pointed to it as the best value, and boy were they right!! Perfect size for reading, movie watching, surfing, emailing, etc etc and the unit doesn't skip a beat! Right now this is the BEST model available in the iPad line balancing power, size, capacity, and price!! May stand out as the best model ever as it stands the test of time!

I bought this to use with my Phantom 3 drone. It does the job very well but the main use is everyday. The screen is large enough to read my Minneapolis Star Tribune newspaper, You Tube, and electronic magazine. The mapping with GPS is wonderful since it has cell phone capability. While it is large enough to replace my laptop, it is small enough to take on my rail and air trips with ease. Reservations are easy to make and review. Once in a while I watch Netflix on trips. All with zero problems.
