    Mine is an addition to my Pro 11. It is a great covert device that can go anywhere your phone can. Great for content consumption, not so much for “real work”. Ill always own one. Like that it has a headphone jack. Apple goes too far sometimes with it’s port removal.

    I do everything with this thing. Read ebooks, edit photos and videos, play Fortnite, watch movies, take notes, etc. I used to own an iPad Pro (2017) but replaced it for this smaller device and I definitely do NOT regret it! Fits in most of my purses too so that’s a plus!

    I love my iPad Mini, but I wish I'd bought the larger one! This will do me just fine. AND it went on sale the next week and I got $100 back on the charge! It works well and I am really enjoying it during this time of Zoom and tele medicine.

    Was going to buy from Walmart but saw that it was the same price at Best Buy. I had recently purchased a cell phone from Best Buy and the service and value were great so I decided to buy it from them.

    I'm and old timer so holding on to what your familiar with is a habit. Got this latest version of IPAD mini to replace my last one. Although I'm still going thru the process of learning the updates its been a breeze so far. Just love it!

    This is a replacement for my iPad mini 2. It support most of my apps. Most things switched over easily. The new iPad prompted how to set it up and transfer data. It doesn't seem to hold information. I open tabs I want to stay open and they do not stay open. It also doesn't keep some game information like the old ipad did. The picture resolution is much better comparing both iPads dude to side. There is plenty of storage space.

    Works great , my daughter loves it. One thing she noted about it and it's funny she told me this. She says it's like having an iPhone thats as big as a samsung note .. she said she uses it instead of her iphone when she's home and moves to her iphone when she is on the go. All in all its basically an iPhone that is a little bigger with out the sim card to make phone calls.. I will never get it or understand the purpose of it.

    I have always had Samsung tablets so I did have a problem learning how to use it. Since it is still new to me I have not used all apps, etc. but after my original slowness it is getting better.
