    I had my first ipad mini 2 for 6 years and finally decided to update. This new one is great! The battery lasts all day I am so happy I got another. I like the small size - I can carry it in my purse and yet it is big enough that I can easily read emails, read books, play games, "surf the net" etc.

    Love my new iPad! It’s fast and light. I can’t believe how thin this iPad is. It has a great screen with bright colors. It’s so easy to use. I like that I get free Apple Music for four months. It is required that my review is 50 or more words so I am making sure I get that many.

    Perfect size for taking notes in meetings. Coupled with the Apple Pencil and a planner app that mimics a paper planner, I have the perfect way to track everything. Battery life is good and I like having access to all my iPad apps on this smaller device.

    My iPad mini is awesome. I bought it to add to my products rather than replace an existing product. This small marvel is really amazing and delivering all that I expect an Apple product to deliver. I am glad that I purchased it and know that it will hold up to the load I give it.

    I love all my Apple products. My first mini is pretty much out of memory and there are no updates for it since it is older but I still use it and am willing to share it with my grand daughter. I really was happy when the new mini came out and had to have it. It is all I expected-fast, fun and light as a feather.

    I was debating between the newest IPad mini and the newest regular iPad. I’m really glad I went with the mini. It’s is extremely responsive with no lag since it’s got the A12 processor vs the newest iPad has only the A10. Form factor means it’s easy to slip in my bag in practically any pocket.

    Got this for my girlfriend for her Christmas Present. She loves the thing. Takes it with her everywhere, uses it for school, uses it at work. It’s a great size for travel, battery life is greatly improved over previous generations. Plus the open box price I got it for. I couldn’t complain.

    While the Mini remains at a higher price point than the 10.2" 'standard' iPad, that smaller size is a huge difference-maker for me. I was able to snag this at a discounted price and it will replace an iPad Mini 2...so, quite a speed, capacity, and battery upgrade.

    I really like my new iPad mini. It has plenty of memory for all my game apps and pictures. I am now able to download even more apps that keep me busy doing new puzzles and coloring pictures. It take really good pictures also. It was great to use at my granddaughter's graduation. Love this product.

    Short and sweet, this is exactly what I needed for a quick sketch pad for composition. Plenty of space, uploadable to GB or Logic on Mac, compact but big enough for books (Manuals, .pdf's, etc.). Plus linking to the iPhone, this my go to for many things. All quality things cost more, buy quality!

    I love the iPad mini form factor. This is another great update to their line. It's a no brainer upgrade if you have a 2 and 3 mini. Thinner, better display, much faster. Little harder sell if you have a 4 mini, but if you use processor-intensive apps or need the Apple Pencil, I highly recommend it,

    Great Tablet Replacement for my iPad 4 Mini

    The iPad Mini 5 is a great tablet! I own the iPad Mini 4, but I found I wanted to store more offline videos (grandkid!), and purchased the 256GB iPad Mini 5. Newer processor too, which helps with video-intensive apps like DJI Fly and DJI Go 4. Great!

    While other small tablets this size are cheap, slow and full of compromises the iPad Mini 5 includes the latest processor, latest screen technologies and improved battery life. It also supports fast charging over USB-C up to 30W. I'm so glad Apple decided to not kill this form factor.

    Recently purchased the iPad mini seventh generation model. It replaced my 2013 2nd generation model. It is slightly longer than the previous model. It is also faster in accessing websites. Overall, I am happy with this model product
