    My husband purchased this for my birthday. It took me a little while to work with it but now I am enjoying it. Apple support is so helpful and that alone is worth this product.

    I needed a new iPad mini because I had one of the oldest ones. My son’s iPad was the oldest version so he took mine. Nothing new really so I give it a four star

    While he iPad mini looks the same the only reason that I can see to purchase is the fast processing power. It is definitely a step up in speed and allows for more efficiency.

    Pretty good value for a small tablet. It's an iPad. You know what to expect. Wish it had a USB-C charge port instead of the old lighting port.

    I love it. The only thing holding me back from 5 stars is how quickly the battery dies and how long it takes to recharge. Such an inconvenience.

    Bought it to use for my drone, Dji phantom 4 pro and it gives me a much better view. Although it is not that bright enough for when it is sunny outside.

    Love my Apple iPad. It’s so easy to use. Apple’s security is the best. I don’t need any other anti-virus program.

    I am now teaching classes online with Zoom, and I am using it to take notes during my sessions. It is perfect for my needs, but missing wireless charging.

    iPad had some weird white and red spots on the screen, I had to get a replacement which is weird for an Apple product. Bezels need to be updated... iPad mini has been the same for a lot of years and it looks outdated. Just to clarify I got my replacement but they didn't have the same color so I'm kinda dissapointed tbh. Customer service great as always.

    I originally purchased the iPad Mini 5 to replace my 128GB iPad Mini 4. Needless to say, I ended up returning this iPad as I could not tell a significant difference in day-to-day use between the Gen 5 and my Gen 4. I'm glad I returned the Gen 5 and stuck with my Gen 4 which meets all my needs whether it reading, internet browsing, or light social media use.
