    Good upgrade on iPad mini

    I have has an iPad mini for a long time. It was very convenient to take on trips for photos and websurfing and checking e-mail. I got the new model and am very pleased. It is faster and has a very nice display with sharper details with photos. It was easy to set up. I got a glass screen protector which worked fine also. The only negative was a Targus brand case I got when I got my iPad. It says it is for the new iPad mini but when I tried to put it inside it was too tight. It actually cracked the screen protector when I was trying to squeeze it in and I had to replace that. I got a different case which works fine.

    There aren't too many small tablets available in the Android world anymore so I reluctantly got an iPad mini. The battery life, size and performance are good. I'd suggest it

    This iPad is super portable because it’s a very convenient size. You can also use an Apple Pencil with it and it’s fast and a great upgrade to the iPad mini 4.

    What can i say? Its an apple product. Enough said. I honestly prefer the Samsung android tablets. Bought this out of boredom and needing an uodated tablet. We always have buyers remorse buying these tabkets from apple. For the price we should have just gotten a refualr ipad or even the other larger options. Only reason we got the mini is because we bought 4 ipods total and this was the next size up and the household wanted the mini tablet. Its neat and fun. The price though for this tiny thing is staggering.

    The Apple iPad mini is the best because it's convenient to carry &/or pack. One can download books and read anywhere. The iPad is fast and simple to use.

    After years of using iPad Air it was time to replace it. Decided to go smaller with mini. I like the size and the speed with the newer chip is great.

    I love the fact that’s it’s small and I can carry it everywhere. I love the gigs too but wish it has different features than the previous model. It’s not even compatible with the latest Apple Pencil. I don’t know if there were many upgrades but the memory size is what did it for me .
